Social media platforms have evolved beyond just being a pastime; they've become legitimate avenues for earning extra cash monthly. If you're one of those people who watch TikTok and wonder, "How do people get paid for posting videos?" a Cuban content creator living on wheels has the answers.
Her name is @carolina_gf99, and she creates content while residing in an RV—yes, just like the ones you see in the movies—currently parked in Louisiana. From there, she shares her everyday life, quirky moments, and, this time, some insider secrets on how to start earning on TikTok.
In one of her recent videos, Carolina demystified what many are curious about but hesitate to ask: how to make money on TikTok. "The truth is, you need to have at least 10,000 followers for TikTok to start paying you. I believe you also have to be an adult; you can't be underage because they won't recognize you," she shares in a laid-back tone while giving a glimpse of her cleaning and cooking routine in her mobile home.
However, it's not just about amassing followers as if it's a race. TikTok also requires around 100,000 views in the last 30 days, and beware, not all views are equal. "Not all views are paid," she warns. It means that simply being watched isn't enough; it has to be a view that counts.
Unlocking TikTok's Earning Potential
Carolina also discussed additional ways to earn money, such as the renowned TikTok Shop. This program allows creators to receive free products to promote (and possibly earn a commission if things go well). "It's the free samples program," she explained. Who doesn't love receiving free goodies?
She wrapped up with a question for her followers: "Are you monetizing yet?" It's a gentle nudge, encouraging more to dive into the world of content creation.
From her RV, with nothing more than a phone and a positive attitude, this Cuban creator proves that it's possible: you can film, share, and yes... even get paid.
