The Passion Economy and the Future of Work

New digital platforms are enabling the 'passion economy', where individuals with certain creative skill sets can earn a livelihood while doing the very thing they are good at. These platforms provide:

• Greater ability to build customer relations. 
• Increased support for expanding their business. 
• Better tools for standing apart from the competition.

The Passion Economy platforms differ from the ones from the last decade in many ways.

• The revenue streams are not one-time, but ongoing, based on building/growing an audience.
• They offer a wide variety of creative products and services.
• The services provided are more scalable.
• They respect the individuality and freedom or the creator. 

The new entrepreneurs working for the passion economy have one thing in common: They mostly work for digital products and services.

Knowledge influencers like teachers and trainers, along with writers and audio/video content providers have the scalability advantage available courtesy the digitally-focused passion economy.

The new digital business models enable completely original and organically created forms of work, branching out of the existing networks.

Eventually, human capital starts to give rise to new industries.
