JAKARTA – Celebrity Livy Renata is in the spotlight because she bought her mother a Mercedes-Benz SUV using money from Trakteer. Actually, what is Trakteer and how do content creators make money from it?
Livy does have an account on the Trakteer platform. However, this is actually not a donation which is more defined as a form of social action without any reward or expectation.
The concept of Trakteer is a little different. Trakteer calls itself a digital platform that helps creators earn income from their work. This income comes from support from fans of his work.
“The word Trakteer / Traktir is an appropriate phrase to describe the situation where someone appreciates 'work; other people honestly in a pleasant way,” wrote the official statement on the Trakteer website.
The concept of the idea itself is because many creators find it difficult to expend a lot of energy to produce their work, have a large audience, but do not get more appreciation than just saying Thank You.
Livy Sells Selfie Photos
In the case of Livy Renata, she herself offers a “product” on Trakteer. The products are exclusive photos that can only be seen by Trakteer users who have contributed a certain amount of daruma, or the currency used in their Trakteer Livy account.
1 Daruma can be purchased for IDR 70 thousand. And quite expensive indeed. To open the “Selfies in the Bedroom” folder, for example, you need 8 Daruma or IDR 560,000.
Meanwhile, to open the “After Showers Selfies” photo you need 5 Daruma or IDR 350,000. Has anyone bought Livy Renata's content? Turns out there's a lot.
From SINDONews monitoring, in the last 5 hours a total of 63 Daruma were received by Livy or IDR 4,410,000. Meanwhile, in the last 24 hours he received 158 Daruma or around Rp. 11 million.
So, the numbers that Livy gets from her fans are quite large. Not all Trakteer users only sell photos like Livy. Some sell short stories, caricatures, videos, comics and much more.
