Can you make money from social media platforms?” “Is it easy”? “How much can you make?” These are some of the burning questions asked by many social media users. To answer them, social media platforms can and have certainly helped users make serious money. Don’t take it lightly; there are a lot of things on social media that you can do, but fewer you can succeed in.
This article will cover some exciting things you can do on social media platforms to make money. Let’s get started:
- Make Reels on TikTok
- Content Creation on Instagram
- Get a Blue Tick on X
- Bonus Round: More Social Media Platforms
Make Reels on TikTok
Most people think TikTok is the easiest way to make money. However, there is a catch: having many followers plays a massive role, and gaining followers is not a walk in the park. Plus, making quality content without breaks that the audience can resonate with isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
That being said, there are two ways you can make money from TikTok.
The first method is to make content that people want to see. It can be related to beauty, wellness, fashion, entertainment, or anything you like. You can also get help from TikTok’s analytics; this feature helps to find what type of content people are watching.
Note that it’s best to stick to a single niche. Your goal should be to establish yourself as an authority on whatever topic you choose. This way, followers would always turn to your profile to find authentic content.
The second way is to market the brand’s products. Since its inception, TikTok has been a key marketing platform for brands. Short but interesting videos captivate people’s minds. And this is what brands have been cashing on.
Let’s say you’re an established beauty influencer. Now, relevant brands know that your followers are their target audience. So, they would pay you to promote their products or services among your followers.
As per reports, TikTok pays its creators around $0.02 to $0.04 per 1000 views. However, brand deals may pay you more, depending upon the number of followers, how much sales you can bring in, and other relevant factor.
Pro Tip: Content creation on TikTok or any social media platform requires consistency. People follow creators who make exciting content regularly. Also, it is one of the best ways to increase your following in quick time.
Create Content on Instagram
Instagram has a lot of competition. Whatever niche you choose, chances are it may already be flooded with thousands of influencers.
So, how can you earn money from Instagram if it’s already a saturated platform?
Well, to start off, pick a niche that matches your interest. Do not focus on posting more content. Rather, your focus should be on creating unique content. It may take some time to grow your audience on Instagram. But, once you’ve gathered a quality following, brand collaborations and sponsorships will make their way to you.
Just like TikTok, brands target influencers to market their products. On Instagram, you may find thousands of influencers promoting the brand’s products. Influencers usually charge a hefty amount for posts and stories. And that is what you should be focusing on.
Pro Tip: Social media content creators always need an active internet connection. It’s their job to stay in touch with their audience. If you’re looking for an ever-available connection, try Xfinity. Besides 24/7 Xfinity customer support, it provides more than 20 million public hotspot zones nationwide.
Get a Blue Tick on X
X, formerly known as Twitter, is one of the most vibrant social platforms. On X, you can earn while proving if cats are better secret-keeper than dogs. Or if a taco or a hotdog is a sandwich or not! All you need as an X creator is to bring in impressions and engagement on the platform to earn money. But the catch is; that you have to verify your X profile by paying a subscription.
The “Blue Tick” we usually see on X appears on the profile after paying a minimal amount. That is how you can start earning on the platform. Then, X pays you for your profile’s engagement and post impressions.
Another way to earn money on X is through sponsored posts and affiliate marketing. In a way, this method is quite similar to what we discussed above. Brands actively search for influencers and creators on X. If you have a decent following, brands may want to leverage your following to market their products.
Last but not least, your followers can subscribe to your profile and tip you on X. There is no hard and fast rule and you can subscribe for a blue tick without any minimum following. Once that is done, enable your profile’s subscription and tips, and create content that people want to see. People who love your content would likely shower their love by subscribing to your profile and tipping you.
Bonus Round: More Social Media Platforms
“Pins” play a key role on Pinterest. Pins can be anything; an image or a product on your website and people use them to save your content. By creating pins that people love, you can guide them to your website, make money from ads, or sell products on Pinterest.
Snapchat
Stories affiliate program is one way to make money from Snapchat. If you have spirited followers who watch your stories and interact with you, then Snapchat may run ads in between your stories. A small cut of this ad’s revenue directly goes to the creators. Plus, brand collaborations can be another source to earn from Snapchat.
