Congratulations! Your passion for content creation is paying off – literally. You’ve made money on Clapper and you’re getting ready to spend it. If you’re anything like us, you’re still considering what you want to spend it on. There are two things you can do with the money you’ve earned. You can either reinvest it in the Clapper economy or withdraw it!
In today’s article, we’ll be going over both options and sharing some of our suggestions.
Withdraw Your Earnings 🤑
Who doesn’t love a little extra cash in their IRL wallet? We do! So much so that we have a few ideas on how you can spend it!
Creator Tools 💡
You’ve probably been eyeing a tripod or microphone for a while. Now’s the time to grab it!
You might not think you need a creator tool, but we encourage you to consider them. They can make filming your content much easier, and your audience will notice a difference too. If you aren’t sure what you need, think about the pain points in your creation process and what might make it better.
Check out this article for suggestions on creator tools.
An Editing Subscription ✂️
You might be working with the free version of an editing service or using Clapper’s editing features. Step up your creator game and subscribe to a premium editing service. You’ll get access to special effects, sounds, expanded features, and more. This can make editing more fun, make videos even more engaging, and help you level up your skills as a creator. Not to mention you get to brag about mastering something.
Online Courses 🖥️
Digital courses and masterclasses are an underappreciated resource for content creators, but we can’t recommend them enough. Services like Masterclass and Skillshare offer video courses on a variety of topics. You can learn about storytelling, editing, marketing, design, and any other skill you might want to bring into your content.
For something a little more official (think earning a certificate), we recommend Coursera or Grow with Google.
Reinvesting Your Earnings 💰
Putting the money you earned back into the Clapper community can be incredibly rewarding.
Send Gifts 🎁
Sending gifts is one of the easiest ways to spend your earnings! And with a constantly changing library of gifts, we like to think it’s one of the most fun. To send a gift, just go into any Livestream, Radio, or video, and tap the gift box. Gifts start at $1; truly perfect for earners at every level!
Support A Creator 🧡
Whether you subscribe to their Fam Tiers or a paid Group chat, we recommend using your Clapper earnings to support another creator. You know how good it feels to have someone support your work! If you can, turn that around and support a creator you love. Pay for that Group chat with exclusive industry advice.
Buy from a Clapper Shop 🛍️
We have tons of Clapper Shops full of incredible items. Art, jewelry, personal care products – you name it, we’ve got it. And you’re supporting a small business; yes, please! You can start with @AnnieAbe and @TheeUpCycler, but you cannot go wrong with any of our Shops.
One Last Note 🙋
You may be looking at the earnings in your wallet and thinking “that’s groceries for the week, that’s my phone bill”. If your gut is telling you how to spend it, follow it! Putting the money you earn toward necessities isn’t just a logical idea, it’s a very responsible one.
But when you have a little extra to spend or think “I deserve something special”, then treat yourself!
