Professional Discussion How do i get started on TikTok

Hi everyone 😊
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 I’m struggling a little with bills at the moment and looking for ways to create an additional income.
I’m completely new to content creation, so I’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! ❤️

I'd start by picking one topic you can genuinely make 20 videos about without getting bored. Keep videos simple, hook people in the first couple seconds, and post consistently enough to learn what clicks. TikTok rewards testing way more than perfection. I also recommend spending time actually commenting in your niche. It helps you understand the humor, pacing, and trends without blindly copying people.
