how much money i make on my side hustles
this is the kind of post i'd want to read from my fave follows online, tbh
every time i talk about my social media, people inevitably ask if i make money doing it (yes) and how much (not a lot). but there’s still a LOT of secrecy around earning income from the internet, ESPECIALLY from the platforms paying you (*ahem* TIKTOK). it’s all very vague and unclear and confusing, which is frustrating.
i still do not understand how so many girlies are doing the full-time influencer thing (okay, yes i do, the money is in brand deals) and i don’t ever want to be fully reliant on social for my income, but i AM grateful extra cash comes in from these channels.
i’m going to break down all of the things i do on the side (aka all my income-earning streams that are not my full-time salaried job) and i hope it’s helpful or at least interesting to see!
here are all my side hustles and how much money i make doing them:
tiktok creator rewards program
in the last 30 days: $5.26
in 2024 so far: $271.34
in the last year: $649.13
notes: i’ve been in the creator fund and now this ~creator rewards program~ and truly, it’s never been worth it. there are theories it hurts your views/engagement (bc cheap-o tiktok doesn’t want to pay out) and it might be true but at the end of the day, it’s silly how many views you’d have to get to make a real chunk of change and that is just NOT HAPPENING with my content these days!
