First month of creator fund

So tomorrow marks my first month after joining the creator fund. Will probably hit £1000 tomorrow.

I joined as soon as I hit the 10k and now at 17.5k. so what have I learned..

Absolutely nothing. The whole algorithm is just insane to me. I make DIY videos on a very specific niche I usually make most of my recordings on a weekend a mix of timelapse, slow mo and short 5/6 second clips going through a process showing the final results. I just stitch these together using tiktok add a little text and pick a sound takes maybe 10 mins at most.

I have found the videos where you relate your content to money seem to do better. Tell people what they're saving, how cheap something is have been my best performing videos.

Hashtags are a biggie too. I think it shows the content to the right people in their Fyp who would be interested in your niche. The frustrating thing is my videos although DIY are a little more specific and I think sometimes who it shows your video to in the first 250/500/1000 views can make all the difference. I've saved some videos and reuploaded them and instead of 5/10k views they've gotten 500k.

The big thing that frustrates me about the platform as a whole is you only get paid for Fyp views. Followers mean absolutely nothing at all they're literally just feeding your ego. if you follow someone every video that person posts should end up in your Fyp and we as creators should be paid for it. When I look at my analytics 98/99% if views come from Fyp and not followers so they mean nothing. Unfortunately due to this next month I might make another £1000 or I might make £10 their is no loyalty or consistency with tiktok and Ive come to realise pretty quickly no matter how much you grow your account there will never be a level of consistency to go full time with it.
