Solopreneurs and small business owners are often seen as distinct from startup founders, but they can embrace a similar growth-focused mindset. Recent data from Patreon's report reveals a notable transition within the creator economy towards direct revenue sources rather than traditional monetization through platforms. This empowers freelancers and independent creators to control their business operations, resulting in greater independence. By utilizing modern tools and strategies, solopreneurs can design businesses around their lives, reflecting the shift in power dynamics away from centralized platforms and towards self-sufficient business models.
The scrappy, growth-obsessed mindset that turns garage projects into billion-dollar companies is not just for tech bros in hoodies; it's available to you, too.
According to Patreon's State of Create 2025 report, over half of the $290 billion creator economy comes from direct revenue streams, not from platform-based monetization.
