Let me be real for a second. The TikTok shutdown jokes? Y’all are cracking me up. “It’s just social media,” “Oh well, you’ll figure something else out”—like I was just over there scrolling and making cat videos all day. (Okay, maybe a few galaxy projector moments with Prince Bogey, but you get the point.)
This is about my job. My grind. I’ve been building something real. I’ve got friends who’ve turned this into their full-time income. One made $950,000 last year—yes, I said it—and another just bought a house with her TikTok income two months ago. A whole house. Meanwhile, I was over here finally cashing out, getting started, and on my way to joining them. And honestly? I know I’ll get there. Just a matter of time.
Now, before someone chimes in with, “Well, there are other apps…”—yes, I’m aware. I’m not stupid. I’m already on Favorited. I’m already on Flip and working my way to creating content there, too. And oh, by the way, both of my pages are monetized. So yeah, I know a thing or two about this whole content creation game. Thanks for the reminder, though!
And here’s the kicker—I was literally selling right up until 9pm last night. One of my product videos is at 70,000 likes, and another is sitting pretty at 170,000. So yeah, I think it’s safe to say I know what I’m doing. While some people are out here acting like experts, I’m out here working and making it happen.
TikTok will be back—don’t worry about me. I’ll be busy laughing all the way to the bank, climbing up to where my friends are now, and enjoying the view. Meanwhile, y’all can keep guessing how we turned posting videos into six-figure incomes. Spoiler alert: we make it look easy, but it’s not. 😘
PS: if you’re seeing this and you’re on TikTok- let’s connect when they’re back up and running or if you’re not in the US-maybe go show me some love until we can get back on! (Wildflowersisterhood)
