Creating something for others to enjoy is one of life’s great pleasures. Everyone has their own personal reasons for doing it. There are three common reasons why people create: passion, money, and audience.

Many creators don’t start out with the goal of making money. For them, simply sharing their passion with people is what they love to do. In some ways, money and audience come hand in hand, but for many it’s the interaction with their community that they love.

As an audience, we watch videos. You might comment, you might ‘like’, but mainly you are there to watch. When you find Creators you like you want to see their channels grow. You want more from them, but every additional piece of content costs time and money to create.

As a viewer there are very few ways in which you can support your favourite channels. You can watch videos, share them with your friends, subscribe or donate, but then what? You might get a thank you, or a shout-out, you’ll maybe even get a cute custom emoji in the chat. The Creator gets a little more funding and everything carries on like normal.

In reality, viewers get very little back for supporting Creators. That’s not because they’re not grateful, they are! It’s because at the moment, Creators don’t really have anything else to give back aside from their content and a thank you.

We know Creators want to give more back to the people who support them. That’s where the Spark Marketplace comes in. It’s a tool which allows Creators to raise funds and support their channel growth. It’s also there to give Creators a way to give back to their community.

When a Creator sells a “VeraSpark” in their channel a user can buy that VeraSpark off them for VERA. That’s not the end of it though. While the user holds the channel VeraSpark they will receive a portion of the channel’s future VERA earnings.

The Creator wins because they generate VERA from selling the VeraSpark. This enables them to purchase things like better equipment or pay guests to feature in their content. Creating high-quality content increases the likelihood that creators will be able to make a decent living from what they love to do. The user also wins because they receive a percentage of the channel’s future revenue.

Verasity ensures both Creators and users are being rewarded. Both are able to help a channel grow. The Creator has the funds to make better content, and create even more of it, this helps their channel grow naturally. On the user side, they have a personal interest in seeing the channel grow because they’ll earn VERA from it. It’s beneficial for them to share content, tell friends and act as a brand advocate for the channel. Users can also resell the VeraSpark in the Spark Marketplace, this will earn them a one-off amount of VERA whilst passing the torch, so to speak, to another user.
