What It's About
A listener wants to turn her passion for Tik-Tok into actual cash. What should she know?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1325
Are you on Tik-Tok? Follow me and watch as I recreate all the hottest memes including the “Stair shuffle dance challenge,” “Gummy bear Adele,” and my favorite “Head banging dog.” Actually, I’m not there. My experience with Tik Tok is watching it mostly in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep. I’m glad I’m just an author because there’s some seriously talented people out there. Also some people who have a lot of time on their hands, but that’s okay. Anyway, today’s caller is wondering about monetizing his/her skills through Tik Tok, taking their talents direct to the people and cashing in. Do I have any advice for them and any other aspiring performance artists out there?"Hi Chris, this is Kelly from Los Angeles and I’m obsessed with Tik-Tok! How can I make money from it? I was late to every social network, and I don’t want to miss my chance this time. Now I see people using Tik-Tok in lots of ways, and some 13-year-olds have millions of followers. I’m not 13, and I don’t have millions of followers, but I’m getting good at making short comedy videos based on the standup work I do. But how do I go from people liking my videos to getting paid? There seems to be a missing link… Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
