I have over 7k instagram followers and over 50k Tiktok ones. I feel like I could be monetizing more but I don’t really make more than $100-$200 here and there when I feel like I could be making a better stream of income from it. Any advice on how to monetize better?

Sell a digital product that is valuable and solves a problem people have, that you can't google or ask AI for the info. Which means you have to share your personal experience of how you accomplished something. Start pitching brands for brand deals, earn on livestream, put your venmo in your bio.
Affiliate links, design and sell a digital product (use google to think of something), or hustle your ass odd and find a brand that you could work with for a brand deal/sponsorship if you make content that would allow for that. You’ll probably have to email like 100-200 brands to get at least one yes, but if you want money enough, you’ll do the work.
what is the niche you operate in ? that can help me give you some advice
Tik Tok will pay you but only if your videos are over a minute. Facebook offers big bonuses to creators, but you have to start posting on there for a while before you get invited. Amazon affiliate links can bring some nice income at the risk of being 'salesy'.
Hey all, I own a business that involves many clients that promote their product, art or website with TikTok (also Instagram, Youtube and Facebook). I want to offer them a way to post their content, or to get content created and posted for them on existing TikTok pages. Basically you got pages in a specific theme (sport, anime, cinema, culture, memes...) and you rent it for a specific period of time. You get paid every month, and all you have to do is basically connecting the account once to our system. You can opt-out anytime you want, you keep the full ownership of the account. That's basically a way to monetize your pages passively. For now I'm doing it myself with my own pages (3 tiktok pages with 500 to 3k followers, and 1 6k subscribers Youtube channel), I made around $800 renting these for less than a month. If someone is interested, please comment or DM!
I've been absolutely obsessed with short form content for the last two years. Like people have staged actual interventions about my health level of obsessed. I'm talking 11-14 hour days breaking down what separates successful videos from failures, experimenting with different hook variations, rewriting scripts until my brain hurts, testing every editing approach I could possibly get my hands on. Why this level of obsession? Because I'm absolutely certain short form video is the backbone of everything right now. Growing followers, selling anything, generating opportunities, creating brands from nothing. Every part of it depends on whether you can hold someone's attention for 30 seconds. But here's what nearly made me quit entirely: despite the constant daily grind, nothing was hitting. I'd pour 7-8 hours into crafting one video only to watch it crash at 300 views. Tried every tactic from every person claiming to have figured it out. Bought their courses. Applied their "proven" methods. Still going nowhere. I seriously started thinking maybe I'm just not the type of person who can make this work. Like maybe there's some fundamental ability I'm completely lacking. Then something clicked. I'm grinding constantly, but I'm operating completely blind. I don't actually know what's broken. I'm essentially just trying random things hoping something eventually works. So I stopped hunting for some mythical viral code and started analyzing actual data. Analyzed my last 50 videos second by second, documented every retention drop, and discovered 5 consistent patterns that were systematically killing my performance: 1. **Vague mysterious hooks are totally invisible** "This will transform you..." gets scrolled past every time. But "I used resistance bands for 55 days and my shoulder mobility actually decreased" stops people mid scroll. Specific concrete details destroy vague teasing without exception. 2. **Seconds 5-7 are where everything gets decided** Most viewers leave between 4-7 seconds if you haven't proven it's worth watching. I was creating slow buildups like a complete amateur. Now my strongest visual or most compelling number arrives exactly at second 5. That's where the hook that genuinely holds people. 3. **Any gap beyond 1 second absolutely kills your retention** Tracked this obsessively, anything past 1.2 seconds makes people think the video stopped. What feels like natural comfortable pacing to you reads as complete dead time to someone scrolling. Cut significantly tighter than feels normal. 4. **Visual variety is absolutely critical** If nothing changes on screen for more than 3 seconds, attention vanishes without warning. I started constantly rotating camera angles, cutting to b-roll, moving text placement, literally anything to maintain constant visual movement. Went from losing 50% at the halfway mark to keeping 70%. 5. **Rewatch rate is dramatically more important than most people realize** Videos people watch more than once get pushed exponentially harder by the algorithm. Started planting subtle details that aren't obvious first viewing, editing faster, adding elements worth discovering on rewatch. Rewatch percentage jumped from 8% to 31% and reach went completely through the roof. Honestly the biggest shift was abandoning all guesswork and actually measuring what was happening at every second. Came across this one app that goes way beyond showing where people drop off, it literally tells you why and exactly how to correct it. That's when everything transformed. Went from averaging 300 views to hitting 18k in about 4 weeks. Regular analytics show you people are leaving. This one shows the exact second, the actual reason, and what to adjust before your next post. If you're uploading consistently but stuck below 1k views, your content isn't the problem. You just don't know what's genuinely working versus what you assume is working. Listen, I'm sharing this because breaking through was honestly one of the hardest things I've tackled. I really wish someone had just explained exactly what needed fixing when I was stuck there. Would have saved months of confusion and doubt. So that's what I'm doing now for anyone who needs it.
I run a business and often make post on social media and make important announcements/ updates and how to contact me and people will still comment questions that’s obviously answered in the captions. I feel like a broken record and am honestly dumbfounded by how lazy people are when it comes to inquires. I’m just fed up at this point lol
I run pages on social media, mainly Facebook, but for the past few months, I haven't been getting many views. It feels like my page is taking its last breath, whenever I look at the graph. 😭 I feel like I've tried everything my brain could come up with, yet my page hasn't made any progress. Well, my page does get a spark once in what feels like an eternity, as if it's been struck by lightning. My views would suddenly go up for a day, but then it's back to taking its last breath. Any tips on how to fix this?
instagram and threads push your stuff to strangers, x feels like shouting into a void until you have followers. doing \~20 replies a day to smaller accounts, got a few replies back from bigger ones. anything you’d do differently? how long did your first 1k take?
To my understanding, social media market research is basically learning about my target audience and competitors in the niche I'm interested in. Could insights from that do anything for a non-business personal brand who is just interested in getting more engagement?
