yeah, my tiktok account has been paying all my bills since I got laid off in May. I joined the Creator Fund in March 2024 when I hit 10k, and since then I’ve grown to 83k. My highest viewed tiktok has 11M views and earned around $5000. Typically I’ll make 2-3k in a month, though I don’t post every day because I’m dealing with some burnout tbh.
A few months ago, I started posting halfheartedly on instagram, too. The growth started slow and I honestly thought organic reach on IG was just dead — I was sitting around 300 followers for months, despite huge viral videos on tiktok — and then IG exploded. I went from 330 followers to 12k in a month.
It just goes to show that you should stick with it. Both of my accounts had major ups and downs. The growth was not linear.
I have another instagram that is brand new and really stuck at a plateau. It’s a new niche for me so I need to do a lot of experimenting. It’s lowkey dead rn but that’s ok. Dead accounts can be revived. And I’m determined to crack that nut
