About the Bounty
In Web2, people made content and companies made the profits. In Web3, people who make content are able to own the upside of their work themselves. With its speed and low transaction fees, Solana is well suited to empower this next evolution of the Creator Economy.
The hardest part for web2 creators is understanding how they can transition into web3. For those not already into crypto, the list of options (NFTs, social tokens, gated content, etc) can feel overwhelming. Solana is sponsoring a deep dive bounty for an essay that solves this problem.
The winning essay should be an actionable guide that helps creators understand how to monetize their work with the tools available on Solana. Make sure to scour not just the existing Solana ecosystem, but also the newest projects coming from the Ignition hackathon.
Your Mission: Write a deep dive explaining how creators can approach monetization of their work on Solana. Research a comprehensive list of tools that exist to help Creators, and package them into a format easy enough for a non-crypto person to understand.
