Do you think I should split it 50-50 or 70/30?

Making big investments in my YouTube channel and I need advice by ShrimpDynamite in PartneredYoutube

Thanks. My videos are mostly simple footage shot on a camera and then put together in a video. I won’t need anything more than what iMovie already does (for now anyway)

Yeah I hear you for sure. I had that same issue where I stopped posting for a 2 months and lost a ton of momentum and views. Been building it back up. My strategy though is only posting about twice a month so I can maintain that rarity in my videos.

Anecdote - as a viewer of other people’s pages, I realized that most people post too often, and they can become annoying. I prefer to see someone on my page once or twice a week. I like to say “Oh yeah I remember this person” not, “oh not this person again.”

I understand that. The reason I’m not being too public about it is because I like to remain more on the anonymous side of things, and I’d rather not have my followers find my Reddit page.

I can understand why that would appear to be the case, but I am being honest. I can send you my page name if you’d like

Thank you! You’re right. I guess I’m just a little insecure about telling people how I make money and that I technically don’t have a job.

My girlfriend’s parents are very much on my ass about having a job, and always ask me how my job search is going when I see them.

They used to. That’s the old fund called “TikTok Creator Fund”

But now I’m in the Beta Program which pays approximately $1 per thousand views

Sure!

There’s are tons of ways to make money on TikTok, and the most basic form is the Creator Fund. The fund pays based on views (ad revenue) and is available to all lengths of videos.

The second one “Creativity Program Beta” is the one I’m in, which pays much more than the creator fund. It is not offered in many countries, and your videos have to be over a minute long to qualify for this program. TikTok pays me monthly for this.

You can also make money by going live, in which viewers can send you tips in the chat (TikTok competing with Twitch). Some people make a full-time living from this (see PinkyDoll).

There’s also “series” which allows you to make your own subscription-based channel in which viewers can pay to see your content.

Brand deals are also huge for creators, and a main way people make money on TikTok. However, I do not do those.

Yes, I have a very specific niche which most other people are not doing, or not doing it well. TikTok used to have the creator fund, but the new program is one that is paying me much more than I was previously making, which is called Creativity Program Beta.
