It's about this time of year that we all start imagining what the next one will have in store for us. Considering we're in the middle of a Great Resignation and people are simply saying no to toxic workplaces, you may have considered giving it all up to become afull-time TikTok content producer. But how much would you actually make?
Well, I don't know about you, or your talents, so I can't answer that. However I can tell you what the top TikTokkers make, and you can weigh up your options from there.
Twenty-two-year-old TikTok creator @jasminetxo has been posting a mix of dance videos, comedic skits and vlogs for six years now. Speaking to SMH, she explained that it's been her full-time job since graduating from university.
If you're terrible at dancing (like me), and not very funny — never fear. Kentucky local, Maddison Peel is 22, and was able to ditch her US$12 ($17.62) an hour job at McDonald's for a much more lucrative TikTok career as @maddisonskitchen.
Her account is all about cooking, in particular that really wholesome comfort food that almost makes me want to get into my kitchen, which is huge considering I truly hate to cook.
For her kitchen prowess, Peel earns almost A$7000 ($7410) to A$14,000 a month, according to Business Insider.
These women are even TikTok's top earners. One of the most famous TikTokkers, Addison Rae Easterling, was estimated to bring in about A$5 million a year, as of 2019.
So how do short videos turn into cold hard cash? It's mostly about sponsored posts and promos — which comes when you have enough followers watching your content. You can also ask followers to send you donations while you do live videos.
