[00:15] monetize it correctly, and how much you can actually earn. I'll give you a surprised me. In this video, I'm going to go much deeper into this niche, explore it, and ultimately tell you if it's still relevant and if it works at all. Why did

[00:28] Because a couple of years ago I tried to release TikToks myself, I made videos and there were videos that even got me 200 or 100,000 take a look. But, unfortunately, I didn’t earn anything from these videos,

[00:41] conditions that I didn’t know about, and these conditions must be met. I'll niche exploration. Even at the initial stages of studying this niche, I knew that TikTok pays for views. That is, this is the same motivation that is on YouTube. Well

[00:55] I encountered were niches. I had to think about how to create just shot random videos, I would n’t have succeeded, that’s obvious. And while browsing through Western videos while studying formats, I came across a couple of interesting

[01:08] attention. And one of them, probably the most important one, which I interesting to talk about some facts, how our world, our body, is structured, special artificial intelligence. That is, I think you have 100% seen this in

[01:22] next few days, I spent my time improving my visual skills, watching videos, and no, I was n't just degrading by scrolling through TikTok and calling it studying. I really works, why retention works, and so on. Day number five.

[01:35] find some suitable format for myself. At that moment I began to realize that I was identified a couple of niches for myself, creating content was really difficult for me short videos. And if I did something, I didn’t really like it.

[01:48] You can watch my old videos here. I once tried to do this too, succeed. I realized that something needed to change. I also advise you to first thoroughly study all the nuances, all the pros and cons, so that you don’t end up doing

[02:01] I learned that, it turns out, an account needs to be created in a special region. That is, if you live in the CIS, you simply won't be able to create an account, because all regions. After my next five days, I'll be trying to

[02:15] how to do it correctly, and so on. From that moment on, I realized that it would be more practical to study this niche selectively from people who are knowledgeable in this not clear at all what needs to be done. Or they put him on TikTok and I finally eventually

[02:28] pinned message in this Telegram channel. Let's read what is with monetization? The Starter game is for those who want to make money from content from scratch. Country matters. Monetization is only available in seven

[02:41] regions. USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea and Brazil. The best is the USA because of the high RPM. But you need a tax number. I will help if necessary. Preparing the device. Remove the SIM card. Enable a reliable

[02:53] VPN. 100% better than paid. Change your phone region if possible. Restart your device. Next, we register the email. Gmail is best. Outlog often switches, we reject email accounts. Let's create a new TikTok account. We turn on VBN. Go to

[03:05] TikTok and create an account. We register via email. We indicate the age as 18+, and Naturally, I won't read the entire message, because it would take up too much to get to know this in more depth, it 's best to go and read

[03:18] couple of niches from their pinned post and adopted them for myself. That is, I continued scrolling and already understood how it works absolutely free. So, I understood how high-quality views work, why TikTok pays, and how to increase engagement.

[03:32] explore this Telegram channel a little deeper and learned a couple more new recording an experimental video in which I'm studying this niche, checking whether it works going solo, I decided to contact the admin of this channel so that

[03:46] enlighten me, and show me how things work. To my surprise, the man answered almost friendly, and we started a small dialogue. Then I enlighten me a little more about the inside and tell me something specifically for this video.

[03:59] That's why he recorded a couple of circles especially for this video . Here they are. Hello. In general, look, we will create this niche. Here is one of my accounts. Niche and skeletons. It's done very easily, with virtually no investment. Here.

[04:13] And soon I'll send you the full guide, you'll try to learn. By the way, look, based on the results, I got paid $478 for this video. Here. I won’t say that it’s little, because the video got 5 million views and that’s the

[04:27] amount. And getting to 5 million on TikTok is actually very easy. By the way, if you're interested, I even have a YouTube button. Here, here is my channel. Well, after just a couple of days of our

[04:41] , because, firstly, we talked in person, secondly, they have been in this niche for showed me their office, and each of them bought themselves a car. And having summed up that you definitely need to know . Be sure to choose an

[04:54] if necessary, you can get niche templates from their channel. Next, we need to learn how to create intelligence. As I understand it, you don’t need to have super editing skills to auto-reflection and so on. It's enough to simply understand the basics of how an

[05:07] important points. Everything needs to be done on a permanent basis. And yes, indeed, over benefits. I'm speaking from experience because, as you already know, a couple of years I didn't have that kind of experience, I didn't have that kind of deep knowledge. But by giving

[05:21] minimal exposure to people, I was still able to gain over 2,000 subscribers and over 200,000 views. And all this with my minimal knowledge, I simply made content on a regular basis, that is, I posted it there 10 or 15 days

[05:34] day, I started getting videos because they were at least somewhat . If you start filming this on a regular basis now, there will be a payoff. The know is that you need to have more than 10,000 subscribers on your account.

[05:48] will have access to communization. Over time, you might actually be able to Author Awards program. Well, the most important nuance that we do not need to remove the usual. That is, if you thought that you can simply post videos like this one in a row,

[06:01] not at all in a row , the main thing is that they are in a row and so said at the beginning, we first need to decide on a niche, and only then , if you don't know which one, you can look it up on these guys' Telegram channel

[06:14] 15. At this point I was already halfway through my journey. And the most important thing understood that I had not just wasted my time. Firstly, I have closed the questions figured out how the inside works. I met new guys who have

[06:28] my opinion, this is amazing progress in 15 days . Even when I was on say: "If you do everything right, you won't give up. If you follow all the rules, it's possible to reach this turn." Well, let's dig deeper.

[06:41] But still, I am more deeply interested in numbers. And for this video I decided to go admin of this Telegram channel again and asked them to let me into their closed I was really interested to see how many people were already involved in this niche. And the

[06:54] came here - to find out the numbers, how much they are already earning. I am very grateful to kindness, and for the fact that they actually helped a lot in creating this video. And the most I was most interested in the numbers and how the videos were created. That is, how

[07:08] videos per day need to be released, and so on. And at that moment I was in a bit of shock, because the videos I was watching, a couple of them I definitely you do too, because they really measure up quite well. Naturally,

[07:21] . After all, this is a closed Telegram channel. Well, let's move on Here, guys, in the screenshots, they showed me their income from the video. And here you can see that the video has received 229,000 quality views.

[07:33] Our RPM is $1.17. The reward for the video is $268. Here the video about the bathhouse has garnered 775,000 high-quality views, and our RPM is 0.60. The reward for couple more screenshots. Here you can look at the account itself, and here are some additional

[07:49] interesting fact: some people from Russia who already had a media presence, that is, they had subscribers on their, so to speak, wrong account, they created new accounts, drove their audience there, and are now filming on new

[08:03] some bloggers have already figured out this trick and are making full use of it. The numbers for yes, that monetization works if you do everything right. But the most important ordinary guys are doing this. That is, these videos are created by ordinary guys who simply

[08:17] and pour it out. My task was to understand My answer: does monetization work on TikTok? 100% yes. This is an absolutely real niche. But here's my honest feedback. Doing everything solo, trying

[08:31] content in an unknown way - it's hellish work. You will spend hours how to use artificial intelligence correctly, how to do think you can tell a neural network, "Make me a cool video,

[08:44] do it for you," then no. Promts are very decisive. deeper the video you get. That means there will be better quality and better development. who makes dozens, or even hundreds, of generators a day. The deeper and more

[08:57] accurate your promo, the better your video will be. So, figuring why I fully understood the value of these guys' closed Telegram channel . They don't just teach you how to make videos, they give you relevant links. They're essentially

[09:09] saying, "Okay, guys, this type of content is popular in the US right now. Do it like this, edit it like this." So, in essence, they potentially nerves. My verdict. If you want to get into this niche, now is really the

[09:22] the times when I was trying to do something, there weren’t so many undeveloped tools, there weren’t such opportunities. The content came to be filmed the I really want to thank these guys separately for enlightening me and

[09:36] truly grateful to them, I'm telling them about them in this video, and I also think it's the best idea to leave a link to their Instagram channel in the description. So go ahead and study. free material. And if you value your time, want

[09:49] ready-made links, and support from the admin, feel free to visit their private account, most importantly, as you know, I personally looked at their product, saw its can confidently say that it is high-quality and worthwhile. But the most important thing, you know, is that you don’t just

[10:03] you just press it and that’s it, the money starts trickling in. You are learning a useful consistent action, as well as studying the right information, will you reap the income. I hope you enjoyed this video . Personally, thanks to this video,

[10:17] new, different part of my life, because every day I saw content, yes, millions of views. And now I understand that this isn't just a video this video is a person who uses the right tools and
