How can creative people benefit from social media & blogs?

This question is interesting. Internet is nowadays an essential tool if you want to be seen by the majority of people in a fast way, It's a pretty straight-forward method to look for creative contents.

More and more creative people (illustrators, musicians, actors, animators) decide to create a social account to share their thoughts and opinions about everyday matters (or to show their works and works-in-progress).
It makes it feel like they are more approachable by the others, since everyone can see, comment and share.

In any case it's easier to "talk" to strangers behind the screen; there's an invisible barrier that can really helps insecure people.

It's so easy to just search your favourite artist, look at his works, videos, interviews. I totally think this potentially is the most creative period we had in years.
Today the artist can actually earn money by selling his works online; there are many websites (like Kickstarter or Patreon ) where people can support you by giving you money for your ongoing projects. This is called crowdfunding.
