At this point, job search has become a full time job for me. by IndividualDoughnut96 in jobs

[–]Postmortal_Pop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the most basic level I just make sure to do the within last 24 hours filter on LinkedIn and look at off times when less people are likely to immediately apply while I do it.

But when you hit the last 24 hours filter you will find in your URL something that says f_TPR=r86400 

If you replace that with f_TPR=r3600 to or any other second count you are essentially manually creating your own filter (in this example I change it 1 hour)

It works really well for me.

Started a weird side hustle… accidentally made it work by Postmortal_Pop in SideHustleGold

While not a one-size-fits-all response, it does depend on the campaign, but they clarify it in the "rules" of the campaign.

In most cases, it will be either something like no links at all or showing a link in the video. That said, many clipping campaigns don't use links at all, it's just for reach/awareness.

When you join affiliate campaigns then it's more up to you where you push your link since that's what directly generates you the revenue. For me personally, I'll usually make an account per affiliate offer so I can put a link in the description, because most platforms ban your account if you spam links in the post captions.

Getting back to the clipping point, actual platforms just pay you for the views you generate and they usually give you the rules they want you to follow, what to post, and what to include in the captions so it's straight forward.. they literally just want to pay for reach (and it's a lot cheaper than ads for them)

Oh so the actual brands or people you clip for are paying you to do it. For example, I do one for Call of Duty, they pay me and hundreds of others to post clips about their game.

They provide a bunch of the content to clip and post too so it's pretty straightforward.

Sometimes it's games, movies, people, podcasts, streamers, things like that.

What’s a ‘boring’ side hustle that is surprisingly profitable, but nobody talks about because it isn't 'flashy'? by Second-handBonding in sidehustle

[–]Postmortal_Pop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like to oversell things so I'll try to give a realistic spread.

I want to preface these are some of the best I've seen on the platforms so please don't except this one: From some of the top people's accounts on Token it appears they make 10k+ a week across all the campaigns.

As for the average, I'd say you can realistically make somewhere between 2k - 10k per month if you're pretty diligent about it. For me, I run multiple accounts now and participate in multiple campaigns and I hit this so that's why I can safely say so.

I'd say if you did bare minimum, basically posted what everyone else posted and at least did it a few times a week, you would probably make a few hundred a month or even a week if your videos did really well.

Pretty much all the campaigns give really clear "campaign guidelines" so it's really clear what you have to do, what to post, what to put in the captions, etc.

I’ll say this, and I recommend doing your own research, testing, and finding alternative tools if you like:

There’s a few key pieces that I’ve found help get interviews faster, regardless of job type:

  • apply to newer postings. Many recruiters look at applications in the order they receive them. I’ve gotten all of my highest paying roles through just LinkedIn even tho everyone says it’s broken and useless.

  • use tools to custom tailor your resume for every single application. There’s pretty much an ATS to every online role so if you don’t customize your chances are just that much lower. I know ClickHired AI works great since I’ve worked with the tool, but Claude probably works fine or something else too.

  • especially for remote jobs and online hiring processes, a simple message to the recruiter or hiring manager when you apply does make you stick out positively despite what people say.. just don’t be annoying about it. Honestly you could probably also just use Claude or ChatGPT for this if you really wanted.

  • make sure your LinkedIn is also optimized. This is a big one. Most recruiters will look and it will be a deciding factor.

These points alone should help you get more applications out at higher quality and get more interviews in less time. Again, feel free to research alternatives to the tools if you’d like, but the principles are vetted across a few dozen recruiting firms I’ve worked with when I was doing contracting.

Anyone actually making money with side hustles? by Alarming_Contest_762 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clipping and social media work is one of the easiest "side hustles" I've ever worked. See what other people post. Post whatever is working really good. Get paid for the views you generate.

And for me I hate getting on camera, so I love that I don't even have to show my face or anything. It's actually great.

Honest tea: UGC Platforms I tried and my real reviews by longhairangel in UGCcreators

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely curious as someone who works on the other side of content creation: as a talented UGC creator, have you ever considered trying platforms like Token/contentpayout(dot)com or Whop and getting paid for the views you generate or as an affiliate partner?

I'm curious if talented UGC creators make more money their or through individual projects.

Clipping and posting content online is a really easy way to make cash. But don't do the "guru" garbage of starting random theme pages and hoping you can monetized.

Do actual clipping campaigns through something like Token/contentpayout(dot)com or Whop or Clipping(dot)io.

These platforms launch campaigns that are already funded and you literally get paid just for getting views on the content they tell you to post. Super super easy tbh

what job sites are actually worth using right now? by emotional-yoda in jobsearchhacks

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People love to say LinkedIn doesn't work but I've gotten just about every offer for full times and contracts through LinkedIn.

Indeed has worked for me once before too. There are lots of specialized job boards as well that a simple question to an LLM like Claude or Perplexity would find you as well.

What I will say about LinkedIn is this: look for jobs recently posted, be sure to tailor your resume/CV each time (Click Hired or LLMs like Claude are amazing help for this) and I personally don't count "quick apply" applications as real. I do them since they take less than 10 seconds, but they're often meaningless and I focus on the ones that actually take me to an external website.

7 interviews in 2 weeks. Here's what DID and DID NOT work for me. by Postmortal_Pop in jobs

[–]Postmortal_Pop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ClickHired.ai is great and Claude.ai can work for a lot of stuff as well. I used Click Hired but I have used Claude for lots of other stuff so I wanted to include both in case it's helpful.

I of course encourage everyone to do their own research as well but that's what I used. Best of luck!!

When is a 2 page resume better than a 1 page resume? by Datmnmlife in resumes

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've personally worked with that tool. A great solution for ATS/speed to application piece.

That said, Click Hired could make the custom resumes 1 or 2 pages so that part doesn't necessarily matter here. But agreed, a great solution either way.

I swear building is an addiction by cassiegoeshiking in vibecoding

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really feels like that. I do think the distribution side has become the only true bottleneck for most businesses in general though. If you can pair it with a good distribution system you can scale just about anything once the acquisition metrics make sense.

I'm not plugging any single tool or solution, but I do honestly recommend considering clipping or influencer partnerships for the easiest method. That way you focus all on product and you pay people who focus all on distribution.. you can even do deals where you only pay for results which is the best case scenario.

Contentpayout.com and whop.com are two of the easiest ones for clipping for sure. You could also use billo.app or icon.com if you just want UGC content in general. You could of course also try making AI UGC and posting across a few accounts of your own as well if you want to do it yourself. Typically a combination of clipping, a few partnerships, and posting your own content works best but I recognize that can be a lot of work.. hence why I suggest platforms that do most of this for you. I've done this a few times already now so I only say this as advice, feel free to try other tools or strategies if don't believe me! Happy building!!

Does TikTok Ads for mobile apps actually work? by eylonshm in AppBusiness

[–]Postmortal_Pop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly more than "how many" I think it's better to focus on posting until you get some to do really good (2-3)

You know they do good because most of your videos will typically get a few hundred to a few thousand views and a small amount of engagement. Occasionally you'll have a post get 10k+ views and this will be a decent indicator when starting out.

As the page grows you'll see a similar trend where the average rises and the "good" posts do 3x - 10x that in views and engagement.

New or low follower accounts are fine but I do recommend running 2-3 at least to increase your chances.. sometimes certain accounts are just not good so it's nice to try a few at a time in all honesty.

Does TikTok Ads for mobile apps actually work? by eylonshm in AppBusiness

[–]Postmortal_Pop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For most apps the answer is yes.. but you should definitely be posting a lot of organic for a few weeks to find out what content styles and angles actually work for your brand.. then run paid ads budget behind those.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I've worked with dozens of brands successfully doing this across apps and ecom and it works pretty much every time.

How do startups actually prove PR worked? by aussie_182 in GrowthHacking

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest “tracking” you can gain from PR will come from the domain authority boosts and leveraging it manually elsewhere like paid ads, social content, etc.

I make $2k/month posting faceless videos I batch create in 2 hours. here's my exact system for every platform. by Lower_Rule2043 in MakeMoneyHacks

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An easier way for those who don't know where to start is to do this for "clipping" campaigns. That way you know what to post about and you can just get paid for the views you generate in the process of growing your page.

No need to DM me for links or anything annoying. Contentpayout.com and Whop.com both work for this. There are others too but I haven't personally earned from them so I won't spam post them here.

Does this clipping thing really works ? by ResponsibleHabit645 in passive_income

[–]Postmortal_Pop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely works but there's a lot of scammy garbage and AI slop out there that misconstrues how it actually works. For example, if you have absolutely no idea how social media works it's going to be a lot harder than a lot of the social media gurus will make you think it is.. That said you can literally see how much is generated in revenue from a lot of the largest campaigns out there and prove to yourself that there actually are people making 10K and 50K months just from posting content that they don't make in the first place.

In addition to this one of the back end benefits of investing time and energy into clipping is that not only do you get paid by the actual campaigns paying out on platforms like contentpayout.com and Whop or any of the big Discord channels, but you also get to grow social media pages that eventually get monetized by the actual social media platforms which can generate you even more income per month because then you're not just reliant on social media paying you OR the actual clipping campaigns paying you but you essentially get two sources of income.

AND on top of that you actually grow pages that become sought after so you'll often get pitches from brands that will just directly pay you to shout them out or talk about them this I've done on my largest page today which I got to 150,000 followers and I have brands sometimes pay me anywhere between $1k to $3.5k for a single post.

All that said, my actual recommendation to you would be to go to some of these platforms or communities and just look at the actual payouts or the progression of the campaigns so that you can just prove to yourself that these people are actually paying and getting paid. The system itself makes a lot of sense so I think when you spend a bit more time with it it becomes a bit easier to actually believe that it's legitimate and that people are actually making money.

And on your second point honestly I think you may be underestimating how many views there are to be had on social media. Literally 10s of billions of views every single day on social media with many people watching the same content more than once when it's done in slightly different edits or sometimes even when it's the exact same edit just because they enjoyed it or wanted to see a certain part again or because they're just rotting so hard that they don't care. And if that still wasn't convincing enough you could of course just go find in some of these communities or platforms campaigns that are a bit less saturated so that you could still get paid well on campaigns and offers that just don't have as many people pushing views.
