The Influencer Marketing Factory completed a survey where it studied the creator economy market from both the user and creator perspective. This survey was focused on users and creators to understand the preferences of a creator when making content and how much they are able to monetize, while also understanding how users like to support their favorite influencers and which platforms they use most.

After analyzing its results, The Influencer Marketing Factory narrowed down six main findings. Which include:

  1. Content Creators’ favorite platform is TikTok (30%) followed by Instagram (22%) and YouTube (22%). They also said that these three platforms are also where they make the most money: TikTok (24%), Instagram (22%), YouTube (20%)
