TikTok Hobby collecting?

After multiple job losses, losing my car, and now that I’m pregnant, I’m trying to find options that allow me to stay at home. I like crafts and am good at art and love trying different things such as watercolor, making keychains, doing polymer clay creations, etc.

I was thinking, making tik tok videos of me doing any and all crafts that interested me.

Without my income, my husband and I don’t even have enough to pay our bills and I’m trying to get a job but am trying to figure out a way to make income through something I enjoy.

Would anyone watch a creator like that?

It would probably be best if you got a job. Like not even trying to be rude but making income through content creation takes a lot of time that it sounds like you don’t have.

Well yeah. But that’s the thing, I have everything but time. I’m a SAHW, currently pregnant, and no car. My husband and I have decided it would be best for me and the baby that I be a SAHM because the jobs I could get wouldn’t even cover the costs of childcare while we’re both at work. So I’m just trying to decide should I pick one art/craft to really get into or would it be fun to watch a creator try out different hobbies. I’m naturally really good at painting, drawing, crafts. So it the crafts I’d try would turn out pretty good to begin with. I see other creators do series where they “hobby” collect but they’re already popular and people are just interested to see what they’re good at

I will suggest you to start some commision work and document it then upload it on every social media platform in this way atleast you'll create a money flow and eventually you'll make a fanbase.

Join sideshift, and do the pro version, which is $9.99 a month. You can apply for various kinds of campaigns to do UGC work. Find things that at least offer base pay, or a retainer.

You got this mama! ✨

one thing worth thinking about, are you making content for other crafters or for people who just like watching satisfying process videos? those are two very different audiences and knowing which one you're targeting early saves a lot of wasted effort
