A creator, as the name suggests, creates content, mostly for digital platforms such as YouTube and Instagram. Their job is to create digital content and contribute information based on their expertise and experience.

The content could be in the form of videos, audios, written blogs, product reviews, podcasts, visual stories, images, game streaming, glimpse from day to day life etc..
