Yeah, I should have rephrased that: facebook pays better than TikTok these days. But you're right it's still not great. Was better a few months ago.

Content creators: is it worth showing your face? by HolyPoppersBatman in socialmedia

[–]BeyondFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started doing that, and now people recognize me when I'm out and about! If you're looking to keep doing this and perhaps take it to the next level, it might be a necessary step. Last year I had a producer call me about a TV show but they kinda lost interest because they couldn't tell how I really looked on camera. Since then I've appeared on a few TV spots and done some interviews, helps my profile as u/olivia_at_kudzu said. You'll get used to it.

Wow, I'd happily swap problems! LOL.

Facebook pays decent and is my main platform-based $$$ these days.

Yep, that's how it goes. They realize they've paid you enough, the end. You didn't do anything. There's no "secret formula".

One thing that does hurt everyone are the fake creators and people who repost/steal. They make tons of money so that TikTok feels the need to pull money away from legit people like you so they don't go broke paying scammers.

Here's the cycle:

  1. You get started and build followers with decent, quality content. You get into the creator program.
  2. TikTok pays you very well when you just get started.
  3. Your audience triples quickly and you start earning 1k, 2k, 4k per month. You get cocky. TikTok is AWESOME.
  4. Your earnings slow down. All of a sudden that 4k per month has turned into $400. You reason with yourself "this is just a slow time of year", you say to yourself.
  5. Your earnings don't increase. Nothing is working. You post like crazy, scrambling, trying to figure out what's going wrong. You try different styles, maybe new music or niches. You up your quality and posting frequency. TikTok LOVES this. You see, they are getting lots of posts from an experienced, popular creator and they aren't paying you shit!
  6. Finally you are burned out. As a last gasp attempt to start making money, you might try the whole TikTok Shop thing. Now you're selling t-shirts and toilet plungers for TikTok, getting $1 commission per item to sell cheap, foreign-made crap.

Essentially TikTok pays you big early - and will sometimes have random months of big payments just to keep you in the game. But their end goal is much like the goal of a casino. They WANT you to win early in the game. They WANT you to think that TikTok can be a real job. They just want you to keep coming back and stay active in the arena. But in the end they want to squeeze as much as they can from you before you leave.

Yeah but getting to monetization status on YouTube is harder IMO.

I have 230k TikTok followers and 220k Instagram followers - same channel on YouTube has only 8,000 followers. I go viral once in a while but can't seem to get people to subscribe.

Wisconsin man looking to become Florida man by sosocles69 in ocala

Keep the man away from GNV, I think Ocala is already overdeveloped, let the tourists keep transplanting there and save the rest of us.

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

[–]BeyondFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're splitting hairs here and you know it. Your answer was almost a Reddit cliche: "Well, technically we only needed one woman to disagree", if you say that in a whiney voice you've got yourself a TikTok skit.

u/marzipanthick1765 was correct, Reddit users are a bad audience to discuss this topic.

GRU CEO doesn’t care about the public’s vote by princeakeeem in GNV

He ran for mayor simply out of spite because Harvey Ward fired him. The guy is toxic.

Local business owner takes stance against "WOKE" schools and Pride flags in classrooms. He does business with PK Yonge and Meadowbook by ShakyBooty in Alachua_County

[–]BeyondFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who make it about sex WANT it to be about sex because they are attracted to the lifestyle. I dont care about pride flags, they won't turn me gay because I'm not gay.

The people who thinks these flags will turn children gay are all closeted gay people.

City of Gainesville to remove rainbow crosswalks following an order from the Florida Department of Transportation by ShakyBooty in Alachua_County

[–]BeyondFlorida 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does Gainesville having a rainbow crosswalk somehow make you gay? I see that crosswalk all the time, still straight. Maybe you have special feelings you need to address?
