The cost of badges is between $0.99--$4.99 Once they've been gifted, Instagram attaches one, two or three hearts emojis on their usernames so everyone else who follows them can view the contribution!

Instagram says the changes are a broader initiative to assist creators in making their mark.

YouTube is one of the most popular (and the most profitable) platforms for content creators.

According to the standard YouTube models of monetization, creators launch a channel, create videos and are the amount each time a person interacts with the videos. The number of subscribers , as well as the amount of views that videos receive determine how much money a channel makes.

The YouTube Partner Program is the central control point for creators. If you are looking to earn cash on the platform, you need to apply.

Creators can launch channel memberships once they have been accepted to the Partner Program so that their subscribers can pay a membership fee and receive premium content, including badges, live chat, as well as other perks.

Some of the Partner Program restrictions include:

Pinterest has also announced its Creator Rewards program, where people receive money for creating original ideas on Pinterest.

    A good example of Pinterest's Idea Pins  

Growing organic engagement and engagement with a pin boosts a creator's monthly payout. A creator can cash out when they

  • At the age of 18
  • The United States
