Community Content Creators
Digital creators are living through a golden age of opportunity and accessibility. The number of YouTube channels, newsletters, livestreams, and lifestyle content is constantly growing, while demand remains steadily high. For tech creators, there are innovations in just about every aspect of their work, in large part due to the wide adoption of AI.
These external factors don’t diminish the human aspect – creator communities are becoming more widespread as users flock together around their shared interests and passions, with a creator serving as the community organizer in addition to their production duties.
With this article, we hope to help you make your community space thrive. People are accepted into the Content Creators Program daily, whether they’re an established channel or just starting off on their creator path. Feel free to use this as a quick checklist of things you considered but never came back to, or a place to make sure your bases are covered!
Showcase opportunities to your followers
It always starts with the idea that a creator might provide something for someone out there who is searching for it. On a large scale, this means your topics, expertise, and understanding of the area you’re covering in your content. For tech, it’s your best coding practices or your thoughts on new features and recent industry developments.
As your channel grows, your chances of finding sponsorships also increase. When that happens, consider the publishing end of things: what your video description looks like, how you mention the product, and whether your followers have all of your social media and community links. If you mention JetBrains in your content, this is the perfect place to do so. Here’s an example of a description mentioning the JetBrains promotional discount:
JetBrains provides access to IDEs for all relevant coding languages, frameworks, and technologies. Use the code [code] at checkout to claim 20% off your IDE of choice for both new and existing subscriptions.

Explore a variety of tools in your work
It’s always a good idea to consider several paths for your creativity. As part of the Content Creators Program, you can explore all JetBrains IDEs if they are relevant to your work or content with the All Products Pack. You don’t have to use or cover everything in it, but there are plenty of options to try in your workflow that your audience might find interesting.
Keep your social media active!
No matter how small your channel is, good distribution is everything in content creation. There is no way of knowing where your next readers and viewers might come from, and not all of them refresh their Substack and YouTube as often as you might think.
You can leverage social media to talk about your initiatives and partnerships. For the Content Creators Program, we provide creators with all sorts of news-worthy items such as impromptu merch drops, features, and opportunities to highlight a new IDE update.

Stay in touch with your audience
The cornerstone of community building is communication. You might chat with one viewer today, and make them your head moderator on a freshly launched Discord server for your new followers tomorrow. Make sure you spend time coming up with new activities and ideas to engage however many people you have with you. Use challenges or giveaways to say thank you, celebrate milestones, or introduce tools you want your community to try out.
As part of the Content Creators Program, you can receive up to twelve free IDE subscriptions to conduct giveaways. Our creators’ giveaway experience is always different, but even the most regular ‘subscription+repost’ formula works like a charm.
