Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) announced that it is updating the tools it has launched for the creative community earlier this year. They will now have new ways to engage with their communities and create a Facebook business while managing their presence.
Creators and influencers have become a driving force for brands. And one of the means of communication is video, which explains Facebook's ongoing efforts to help creators build better relationships with their audience using this medium.

By providing more tools to creators, Facebook is ensuring that small businesses will continue to want to advertise on its platform. Fiji Simo, vice president of product and Sibyl Goldman, director of entertainment partnerships, explain why the company is making this investment.
In an article published in Facebook's official newsroom, Mr. Simo says, "We have continued to invest in the fundamental tools that creators need to manage and control their content on Facebook. We want to make it easy for creators to manage their Facebook presence. "
Facebook Tools for Video Creators
New features start with polls for Facebook Live and videos on demand. This not only allows creators to better interact with their audience, but it also allows them to understand what works by getting feedback. In this way, they can continue to create content that their audience is interested in watching.
Polls and videos can also be supported with gamification so users do not lose interest. For creators, this means more ways to keep viewers on their channels. And for those who watch the most, the best fans can be identified with a badge next to their name so that creators can interact with loyal supporters.
