Enterprization of The Consumer
Today's technology-enabled world offers many ways to capitalize on creativity: creators are now earning individually, monetizing their unique skills. People are turning their passion, the things they love to do, into their earning source.
Whether it's podcasting or video content creation, teaching or writing, individuals are changing the definition of a 'job'.
Evolution of The Passion Economy
- On-demand marketplaces established, in the last 10 years, new ways for people to make money - workers could easily monetize their time in specific, narrow services (food delivery, parking, or transportation).
- These marketplaces automated the matching of supply and demand, as well as pricing and used platforms that were convenient for both the user and the provider.
- Specific platforms provided a path to self-employment for millions of people and they also homogenized the variety between service workers, prioritizing consistency and efficiency.
The Passion Economy
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 New Platforms
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 Focus is Digital

Human Capital
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.

Nurture your creativity
- Write your ideas down. Document ideas as they form so they become less siloed, and consequently, you can see connections between those ideas and other pieces of outside information.
- Turn to the people around you. By using your community to reiterate and refine your creative ideas, it can make those ideas (and your content) even better.
Find your niche
- What differentiates your ideas and content from others in the space? The more specific the content, the more opportunity to build the business.
- How can you find your niche? Use platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Reddit: Engage with shared content enthusiasts and discover subcommunities through hashtags, explore pages, liked posts and more. By leveraging these enthusiast groups, you can identify what direction to take your ideas to create the most value for the right people.

Employers should lead the way
The pace and scale that technology disrupts is a social, political and business challenge.
Employers are best placed to make a positive societal impact, for example, by upgrading the abilities of their employees and equipping them with new skills. Employers will also reap the greatest benefit if they can successfully transform the workforce in this way.
Talent is the largest barrier
Talent is the largest barrier to the successful implementation of new strategies.
