In my opinion, the only road for creator coin/core token monetization (for creators) is having a token tied to your content, and then relying on trading fees.
So, how I think one can do that: create constant buy pressure using your content.
Think of a traditional stock market, the closest thing we have, with people with the same mindset as our investors in web3.
Why would someone buy a share of NVIDIA?
1 - They think the price will go up because of the value that the company proposes. It may be a new chip, the fact that they control an important market that will continue to grow, etc.
2 - They think the company will be profitable, and they will earn when they share the revenue with the investors.
While you CANNOT offer the same kind of relationship, because you don't want your token to be considered a security, you can still offer similar things. You just have to ask yourself these questions:
What is your product? What is your creative content? Is it livestreams, photography, art, music, videos? Can you put this up regularly?
How will you profit from this content? Are people willing to buy it traditionally in such a sustainable way that you can just keep selling it? If they do, you don't need a core token. If they don't, you need to tie your content to the token in some way.
And how can you do it?
1 - Buyback and burns. A percentage of the sales (or livestream tips) can be used to buy back and burn your tokens, driving the price up and giving value to holders.
2 - Drop your content on the bonding curve with your core token. So every time someone buys your content, they are also buying the token. @mintclub manages this for you.
3 - Create a /glanker Empire, where holding your art + token can make people climb a leaderboard where you can then reward them for their support. Or even do the burns I mentioned in item 1.
A token without utility is a car without wheels. You can buy a share of the car to support the creator, which is amazing, but if the car is not going anywhere, what's the point?
