Creator-Rewarding Comics Platforms

This Platform Helps Creators Monetize Their Comics' Popularity

— November 30, 2021 — Tech
One of the long-running problems with the comics industry is the fact that publishers tend to reap the economic benefits of a comic book's success while creators are left with little reward, which is precisely why a new subscription-based comics platform has been created to help support and reward the creative minds behind comics.

The Zestworld comics platform provides a place where writers, illustrators and artists can share their work whilst also getting a reasonable share of economic benefit by allowing them to enjoy monetary compensation if their works are adapted into TV shows, films, digital series or other tangible collectibles and products.

Set to be launched in early 2022, the Zestworld comics platform is looking to fix the broken economic model of the comic book industry by allowing creators to gain their fair share of financial reward for their work.
Trend Themes
1. Creator-compensating Platforms - Platforms that allow creators to share and profit from their work are disrupting traditional models in various industries.
2. Subscription-based Monetization - Subscription-based revenue models are increasingly popular in creative industries, providing an alternative to traditional business models.
3. Transmedia Storytelling - Platforms that enable content creators to monetize their work across different media formats are creating opportunities for cross-industry disruption.
Industry Implications
1. Comics Industry - Platforms like Zestworld are disrupting the traditional economic model of the comics industry by compensating creators for their work and allowing them to profit from adaptations.
2. Film and TV Production - Zestworld’s monetization model could offer disruptive opportunities for the film and TV industry to partner with creators using subscription-based revenue streams.
3. Digital Content Creation - Platforms supporting transmedia storytelling, such as Zestworld, show how different types of digital content, such as comics and video, can be monetized using subscription-based models.
