I have been playing with TikTok a lot over the last year and enjoy it much more than Instagram. Sharing my expertise in easy to digest videos has really resonated and helped me grow my following much faster than IG. The next step is working out how to convert the following into something that makes money from me.
That's great to hear (and is your handle the same as IG? I will follow you!). I've ended up following quite a few TikTokkers' podcasts as a result of enjoying their content, where they promote their stuff in a really nice way (although so far, very much beyond my price bracket). I've also bought a fair few digital products after seeing them demonstrated on TT and there is one person who runs a paid only Substack that I think I am going to sign up for. But I think generally, like all social media, it is hard to get people off the app (especially when TT usually shows are 'ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO VISIT THIS LINK' message when you try to leave it!

Also - I just went to your profile - you have a HUGE following. Have you signed up to the creator fund? https://www.tiktok.com/creators/creator-portal/en-us/getting-paid-to-create/creator-fund/
Yes I have! The jury's out as to whether it's worth it or not. But it's nice to know that the videos can make some money.
The next step is to create an e-book and have that available for sale.
