TikTok Money Making Guide
You are thinking about starting a TikTok account, which is trending right now, then this is the article for you! By the end, you’ll have a full understanding how to start making money from finding hidden niches to growth hacking from zero followers.
Profitable Niche Criteria
When it comes to picking a profitable niche on TikTok, I have criteria which I profit niche always go by. The first thing, I needed to be easy to make high-quality original content. Number two is multi-art breakable. Number three, creativity program eligible, and number four, popular demand.
Understanding TikTok Demand
But let me break down what I mean by popular demand. TikTok currently has over 1.1 billion users, so there’s really no shortage of audience. But demand, in my eyes, should be broken down into two categories: trending or evergreen. Evergreen content is content which there’ll always be a demand for. So, for example, health, food, fitness – universally when someone comes across this type of content, they’re going to be much more likely to engage with it.
Trending Topics Strategy
Trending topics are topics which have suddenly come into light. So over the last few months or year, you’ve seen Reddit’s stories with Minecraft clips booming all over TikTok. But if you were to enter that market right now, it would not be advisable as you’re entering past its peak. To really make the most of a trending niche, you need to be an early mover, meaning being one of the first to actually create that style of content.
Future Predictions Niche
“From this day forward, I am an inventor!” “Do us a favor, invent yourself some underpants!” Now here are five niches which pretty much match this criteria. Trending niches: Niche number one – Future Predictions. Gold Niche 1: One of the reasons I love future predictions, and if you look at this account right here, “The Time Jumper,” you’ll see that they can literally talk about anything. Simply using an AI voice and Mid Journey, they’ve been able to create these really interesting videos resulting in thousands and thousands of views – a great niche if you want to get creative.
Healthcare Niche
Niche number two – Healthcare. Gold Niche 2: Healthcare is an evergreen topic. People are always curious in finding out why they might be unhealthy or how to improve their health. Let’s look at “Health Keeper 5” – you can see that combining great hooks and good content, they’ve been able to break the views. Or you can go for like your health tips like wellness tactics; people will always be interested in this.
Marketing Business Stories
Niche number three is Marketing and Business Stories. Gold Niche 3: Marketing is a key part of business, and so many of the biggest brands in the world have been successful because of their marketing strategy. And if you’re able to create a page that is able to tell these stories, you’ll get results like this page right here. Learn to tell a story about these interesting brands, and trust me, the RPM that you’ll get from the creativity program is going to be mad!
Mystery Stories Content
Niche number four – Mystery Stories. Gold Niche 4: These niche involves commentary over real-life trending topics, whether they’re controversial or entertaining. There are multiple reasons why this niche is great. Firstly, the videos are pretty easy to make. Secondly, if your hook is good, you will get views because you can jump on trending topics, and if you’re able to cover topics that are potentially in business or finance, then the RPM is going to be super high. “You’re under arrest for conspiracy!”
Fitness Motivation Content
Next up is Unique Fitness & Motivation. This page right here, “Discipline Mentality,” is showing us all how to create epic original content. Gold Niche 5: Now this page in particular has been able to combine fitness motivation and superheroes to really build something epic. They essentially bring you tips on how to achieve outrageous physiques like Thanos, Thor, Spider-Man, etc. So even if you’re not interested in fitness or motivation. This is a good example of how you build a good page, and the key component here is the concept behind the page.
Faceless Content Creation
Niche number six and the final one is Faceless Niche – anything! We all have the capabilities to create faceless content. So for example, if you’re good at cooking, if you’re good at arts, whatever you might be good at, you could most likely create a faceless TikTok account about that. All you need to do is put in a little bit of effort – you don’t need to show your face!
Voice Content Success Tips
You don’t need to use your voice, and often these accounts are able to really do well as they’re even more unique. So guys, don’t sleep on yourself! If you want more focused videos on a particular niche or have ideas, then let me know in the comment section. The next parts of the article is really important as I’m going to go through how to warm up your account, growth hacking, and actually achieving the results you want.
Account Setup Guide
Creating and warming up your account – Warming up accounts, naming your account, here is my criteria: Number one is avoid numbers, this does not help your account look professional. Number two, make it very related to your niche, so if you’re in the health niche, a name like “Be Healthy Today” is perfect. And guys, three words max, don’t turn your name into a sentence.
Logo Design Process
When it comes to your logo, all you need to do is use Canva. Even Canva’s 3 version has a lot of templates, and to be honest, with a few elements and changes in color, you can have a logo done in seconds. Now when it comes to warming up your account, some people of course create an account, post straight away and go viral, but it’s important I think nowadays to actually warm up your account.
Algorithm Warming Strategy
Essentially, one of the reasons to do this is so TikTok doesn’t register you as a bot and so that you can actually warm up the algorithm. Now what you want to do is go on the “For You” page or find accounts that are in your niche and just scroll through, like some of the content, save it, and do that for like an hour, and do that from potentially 24 to 48 hours, not constantly, just a few times, and after a day or two, you’re basically ready to start posting. It’s not complicated.
Content Creation Methods
Creating the videos is going to be one of the most time-consuming, more important parts of your TikTok account. I have a whole playlist on my channel which goes through creating content in a variety of different sub-niches or niches, but video creation essentially you have two options: You can use AI like Mid Journey, ChatGPT, and CapCut to create these style of videos, or you could get a freelancer from Fiverr/Discord and pay a few dollars per video. It really depends on how you want to invest into it, whether you want to use your time or money.
Growth Hacking Techniques
Now the next section is key in regards to growing your account. Can I tell you a secret? Growth hacking! This is growth hacking something that has allowed multiple TikTok accounts to absolutely boom. Earlier in this article, I mentioned when I’m picking my niche, I always make sure that it’s multi-part breakable. I’ll upload the first part of the story as “Part One,” let’s say that’s 1 minute 30, then the second one will be another 1 minute 30 “Part Two,” and I will do this into potentially two to four parts.
Viewer Engagement Tactics
What will happen is people will start commenting “Where’s Part Two?” “Where’s Part Three?” Not only does this force people to watch the whole video, it will also force people to comment, it will force people to stay on your profile and therefore likely to actually follow you. So when you’re picking a niche or when you’re creating your content, you should really be implementing this as this will get you more views.
Dark Engagement Strategies
The next section is dark engagement, getting people to comment – the dark truth! Top-level marketers don’t ask you to comment, they force you to comment. Let’s say a video is about Angelina Jolie, you’re telling her life story or something. What I could do in the caption is put “What do you guys think of Beyonce?” This will force people to comment telling me that this video is about Angelina Jolie. What has Beyonce got to do with it? Immediately people will be commenting “That’s not Beyonce, that’s Angelina Jolie,” and you’ve essentially forced them to comment, and when you’ve just started an account it potentially is a quick hack to get it going. But guys, be smart with this, don’t abuse it!
Emotional Targeting
The secret must-watch next one is targeting the viewers’ emotions. We are all emotional whether you like to believe it or not. Every time you make a video, you need to think “What emotion am I targeting? Am I trying to make them sad/happy?” If you are able to trigger someone’s emotion, then you are likely to get an interaction from them, whether it’s a like, share, save, comment, whatever it is.
Hook Creation Tips
Finally, hooks! If you’ve got to this part of the video, you can join my Discord and get access to a document with 103 hooks. This will give you insight into what makes a good hook, and you can even use some of the hooks to date. This video right here explains hooks even deeper. Now something I want you to aim for is 70% of your viewers to watch at least the first 3 seconds of your videos. If you’re able to get that retention level, it means that your hooks are actually performing at a decent level, and from there you just want to slowly improve.
Viral Challenge Expectations
30-Day-Viral is a 30-day challenge, guys! We often have unrealistic expectations when it comes to social media. After posting three times, “Why have I not gone viral?” Are you kidding me right now?
TikTok Growth Strategy
I want you to create a TikTok account and use everything that I’ve mentioned in this article. Remember me when you’re 100k! Give it time, be relentless in your mind. You need to think, “I’m going to keep posting until I go viral!” If after 30 days you don’t get the results you want and it’s really not progressing, stop, reassess, start a new account.
TikTok Success Reality
Most of the TikTok gurus and people who are really really successful on TikTok or social media in general and myself have put in loads of hours into different accounts, and not every account is successful. You need to realize that!
Content Originality
Number two is unoriginal content, guys. If you are using unoriginal content, you are risking wasting time, as once you get to Creativity Program eligibility, you will probably be declined. There’s no surprise – you need to create original content.
Monetization Methods
Number three is thinking that the Creativity Program is the only way to make money. No guys, so many pages can be making money with affiliate marketing, with drop shipping. There’s so much potential guys.
