What is a Social Media Creator?

A creator is someone who regularly produces and shares original content on social media platforms. Unlike casual users who might occasionally post personal updates, creators consistently develop content as a central focus—whether as a hobby, side-hustle, or full-time career.

The term "creator" has largely replaced "influencer" in recent years, emphasizing the creative and production aspects rather than just the ability to influence followers. Creators typically have specialized knowledge, skills, or perspectives in specific areas.
