Creator
Creator-designers build media, products, and services for an online audience, using the internet to develop business from their craft.
The creator lifestyle can provide freedom and fulfillment, but requires substantial time and effort to build if you're starting from scratch.
Creators often work alone and rely on self-learning. You cannot go to school to become a creator.
Fortunately, the internet is abundant with resources, tools, and communities for creators.
