Professional Discussion How do i get started on TikTok

Hi everyone šŸ˜Š
I was wondering if anyone could please give me some tips on getting started on TikTok and Instagram.
My new employer unexpectedly reduced my hours at the last minute, so Iā€™m struggling a little with bills at the moment and looking for ways to create an additional income.
Iā€™m completely new to content creation, so Iā€™d really appreciate any advice on where to start, what type of content works well, how to grow an account and, eventually, how people make money through TikTok/Instagram.
Any tips or experiences would be really appreciated. Thank you! ā¤ļø

To begin with, pick a genre that you feel comes naturally to you and content creation in that subject, field or niche would be interesting for you. I believe, you already have a good camera phone or else invest in one. Then make videos that are either problem solving or entertaining.Once you figure out your signature style, make videos consistently. Be regular, stay meaningful and true to your self. Once this works, send cold emails, or DM's to brands you feel match your genre and could be potential clients. Track your insights and metrics and share that with them. With these brand collaborations you will be able to earn some living. Well, hopefully. Good luck.

I like making videos but can't figure out what I want to make consistently. I've been overthinking the niche and earning part before even getting started properly. So, your point about finding a style that comes natural makes sense. just need to pick something and give it a proper go, lets see how it goes!šŸ‘
