How to build a TikTok channel quickly then monetize as a side hustle.

This is an addition to my social media building posts here on this subreddit.
I have shared how to build a Youtube Channel and now I will share how to create a TikTok Channel and get ready for monetization. Yes this includes faceless channels!

I have helped many Redditors start building their social media side hustles, but who am I and why listen. First off I have been in social media marketing for over 15 years, and have been an AI algorithm developer for 5 years. Because of this, I understand at a fundamental level how algorithms work.

Have you tried to create a TikTok channel and have it stuck at 500 views, or maybe you broke through to 2500 views or more only for the channel to seemingly die out of no where..

Why this happens?
TikTok is very much as context based algorithm.
When starting it is totally normal to only reach 500 - 600 views. This is because one of the key datapoints TikTok uses is channel context. So it is important in the early stages to upload consistently on the same topic or genre. If you continue to do this step you will be added into the algorithm and TikTok will do its job of finding your viewers for you.

This is why some channels can die out of no where. In most cases with clients, and redditors I have talked with, they realize they have changed the subject of their videos in a substantial way, not realizing that they have now confused the algorithm about the context of your channel.

Important steps to building a TikTok channel.
1: Stay on topic! Only upload related topics, if you have another topic you want to talk about create a new channel specifically for that topic.
2: Descriptions are key. TikTok uses 3 main data points for your channel to understand context. One of the most important is description. Make sure to use relevant keywords in your descriptions and describe the video.
3: Hashtags are not enough, you must add weight to your hashtags by doubling and tripling the usage of the keyword in the description and in the video itself.

TikTok's key data points.
Video Description

Hashtags

Video Content (TikTok tries to convert your video into text format for the algorithm to understand what is being said in the video. This helps with Context.

Channel Context, uses previous uploads to try and understand context on the subject of your channel.

TikTok is great for monetizing on and off platform.
One of the best monetization methods once you have a following is live streams. The tipping community is really strong and active. Other platform monetization plans work just as well as on Youtube and other platforms.
