✍️ Do content creators are worth the creators’ first platform? Startup idea

Hi, makers:)

This week I have prepared a startup idea Shopify for content creators — if you want to get weekly ideas right to your inbox subscribe.

We are living in the age of content.

I started the ChimpIdeas newsletter for several reasons — had too many ideas in my head and wanted to improve my writing skills as English is my second language.

The market of content is a platform first instead of the creator first. I mean that we have big players in the market that are more interested in user engagement and monetization than in content creators or content quality.

Some players in content space:

1. Youtube
2. Facebook
3. Instagram
4. Twitter
5. Spotify
6. ..and many more

Also, we have lots of new types of content platforms that are more content creators first like Substack, Ghost, Medium…

What problems content creators are facing?

1. Exposure
2. Monetization
3. Reusing same content

💡Startup idea — Shopify for content

Can you imagine → Shopify for content? I mean more from the point as the shop is your blog and you have a marketplace of apps helping to achieve your goals. We have separate tools for almost every function we need, but there is no product that would connect them all.

The main idea is to make the content (text) the center of the platform, all other services are apps in the local apps marketplace.

Let’s dive deeper into what parts should be covered.

Convert content →

• Audio/Video to text.
• Text to Audio/Video

Extract from content →

• Make a summary from your content
• Extract mentions from content to separate text (books, links, brands, people …..)
• Extract tags by social networks.
