Writer, researcher, and podcaster covering the creator economy
About
Francis Zierer is the editor of Creator Spotlight, beehiiv's newsletter and podcast cataloguing how creator businesses grow and monetize — from independent, newsletter-based journalists to lifestyle YouTubers to the strategists and entrepreneurs serving them all.
His work explores the creator as a distinct category of digital media worker; the borders (and lack thereof) between creators, journalists, and other media producers; the relationships between creators and platforms; and how creators build sustainable businesses.
