Hey guys,

after my 2 failed attempts, I'm getting back to you.
I have been looking into the new AI technologies and have
Created a few videos.
This is about health and fitness.
However, with facts that you do not hear at every corner.

I have now after a week 500k views and 7k subscribers.
I get on average every day 1000 followers.
I don't know well about TikTok, but those numbers are big!

I constantly post a video every day.
I had no intention to make money with it.

Now a few questions:

Has anyone had experience with TikTok and Buisness?

What would you recommend me to make a buisness / side hustle out of it?

When can you talk about success with TikTok?

If you're building a massive audience, at some point, you need to sell them something...

A product
A supplement
A weight loss gizmo
A training course
A fitness app

Something...

Your metrics are nice ! How do you find the subjects of videos ? And what about the marketing of videos ? Just hashtag or more I imagine ? As MJ said you must link on your profile something you can sell, or sell with affiliate for example. It can be a fast way for begin before sell your own things

Then why not send small money to me via Paypal since you don't care about money?

How about monetizing your TikTok account by contacting small businesses on TikTok and Instagram, showing them your engagement and views etc, and putting their shop url on your TikTok bio for $xxx for x days?

You don´t know whether the momentum will continue. If you wait too long the channel might be dead by then ;).

Your followers on Tiktok are busy doomscrolling and don't track which accounts they're following on a spreadsheet, and they don't login to that spreadsheet daily to track which of their followed accounts have changed into an ad channel within X days.

Besides, a link in bio is subtle and not in-your-face-buy-my-sponsor's-products type of ad.

The thing, i believe, is that you have to choose between 'having the last word' or 'making a business/making money'.
Why don't you implement some of the advices given upper in the thread ?
Are you still in the comfort of the honeymoon of your business to the point that you just want things to stay like this ? or are you ready to take risks ?
After all, there might be a certain niche or field where you can focus on and find sponsoring.
This is just according me and of course i'm no one.

Can you market other people's products on your channel and be paid to review them/ present them? I see some people making money out of that. Check the #tiktokmademebuyit for inspiration videos, or the cringe #iwantarefund. Just an idea though. If you already have a good product TikTok is a very good platform to market it. Also not saturated, yet and the big brands make ads and videos that suck. This means that you can win them easily on that field. At least in the short term.

I'm interested as i'm thinking about doing a fitness channel myself, I'd like to share ideas and talk about it further.

Those are really great numbers for the length of time you've started the account.

Though you said you've failed 2 previous attempts...so I guess you must have gained some wisdom from your past failed attempts and experiences with those.

So I have a few questions if you don't mind sharing.

1. What are your biggest lessons you learned from your previous failures that you applied in this one and helped you succeed with this current attempt?

2. Also, are you doing dance videos in your videos in this your current health and fitness niche? As in, are you incorporating dance/music into your videos, sort of like the Miss Excel lady was doing while teaching Excel tips. Or it's basically talking head videos of you talking about the health and fitness facts. Or it's video edited videos made by mixing various generic stock video clips while giving a narration along with the clips.
Just want to understand the general broad kind of videos you make, (not the specifics of your niche or content or anything, I think you should keep that private), just the broad class or type of videos you create as above.

Thanks.

++ UPDATE ++

Hey Guys im at my regular Job.

I didnt have the time to post here because i was working on that TikTok thing.

UPDATE:

After less than 1 month I reached 130k Followers.



I am currently working with Amazon Affiliate. ( 6% Provision LMAO)



But I contacted some companies and also got contacted by them.



I made round about 800 $ in my first two weeks.



but I was also working 7+ hours a day to understand the algorithm.



Let me know If I should start a execution thread where I tell my whole story/blueprint !



I feel stupid for saying blueprint cause I’ve been doing this for 2 weeks lol.



I will answer your guys questions soon!



Love for you all!

Congrats on your success. That's some rapid progress!
How is it going so far, after 2 months now... is the momentum on Tiktok being sustained?
Or has the algorithm changed for some reason.


Let me know If I should start a execution thread where I tell my whole story/blueprint !
That would be great, please do.
Would be looking forward to it.


Also if you don't mind, please kindly answer the questions I asked earlier on above.
But if for some reason you don't feel inclined to, no qualms.
I've re-quoted the questions below for your convenience.

Though you said you've failed 2 previous attempts...so I guess you must have gained some wisdom from your past failed attempts and experiences with those.

So I have a few questions if you don't mind sharing.

1. What are your biggest lessons you learned from your previous failures that you applied in this one and helped you succeed with this current attempt?

If you're building a massive audience, at some point, you need to sell them something...

A product

Something...
Keyword 'massive' because if you have an audience of 1-10k, only a small percentage will be willing to spend and an even smaller percentage will actually spend some money lol

I'm open to being wrong here, but you really gotta build a relationship with your audience to truly increase the odds in your favour and even then, it might be pointless if your audience is young men in the boxing scene (they wont buy jackshit), but if your audience is women in makeup then you're in for a treat.
