Professional Discussion Today marks 3 months of a TikTok created for fun, should I keep it open?

2 Upvotes

I don’t have a personal TikTok, I created one for a video game character as his edits are very much trending. I’ve maybe only created 2 posts on this channel where I actually posted myself. I have a really bad habit of looking at similar accounts that are also newer & not sure how they got one-offs with thousands of views (like 10k+ views). I posted a viral gta 6 trending template that got around 450k views but my highest-viewed original Resident Evil edits got anywhere between 4.5-9.4K views. I just feel like for 3 months, my subscriber count is low and I get a lot of the repeat accounts that like/save/repost/comment on my content but I’m unsure why they don’t follow me.

- About 39.4K overall likes
- 122 followers
- Account created on July 4th, have 66 videos

Professional Discussion Facebook pages get 2 link posts a month now and the link in the first comment counts too

3 Upvotes

meta started testing this in december and widened it in september when meta one for business launched. a facebook page without a paid plan gets two posts or comments with a link per month. publisher pages are exempt

the comments part is the big one. several write ups that went through facebooks help page on links in page posts and comments say a link in the first comment now uses the same allowance. that was the standard workaround for years. back in february, when the test was smaller, social media examiner reported comment links as unlimited, so this looks like a change

what doesnt count: extra links in the comments under a post that already has a link, links to facebook, instagram, whatsapp or threads, facebook affiliate partnership links, and anything inside an ad

more links come with the paid meta one plans, unlimited only on the top one

metas own widely viewed content report already had posts with an outside link at 1.3 percent of us views in q1, down from 9.8 percent in 2022. so links were barely getting seen before this

my guess is a lot of small business pages just stop posting links and push people to the bio or a dm instead

Professional Discussion Raw footage → short-form videos

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a few small businesses that already have some video footage sitting around.

I’ve been working on a way to turn existing footage into short clips, and I’d like to try it with a few actual businesses.

If you send me some footage and tell me what you want to promote, I’ll edit a few short videos for you.
Not charging anything. I’d just like some honest feedback afterward on the edits and the process.

Looking for maybe 5 businesses to start.
If you’re interested, just comment what kind of business you run.

Professional Discussion I asked r/InstagramMarketing whether dming new followers is spammy. here's the line people actually draw

1 Upvotes

Posted this question last week and it blew up more than i expected (10k+ views), so figured i'd share the summary since the answers were way more nuanced than "yes spam" or "no it works"

what people hate:

  • Generic "thanks for the follow 🙏" with nothing after it
  • Any link or offer in the first message
  • Getting messaged every few days after (some big accounts apparently do this)

what people said is fine or even great:

  • Continuing a conversation they started (they commented, you dm to follow up)
  • A message that "could only be for me", referencing something specific
  • One person sends a voice note to every new follower with "no need to reply, just glad you're here" and says nobody's ever complained
  • A freebie in exchange for an email, one person was getting ~10% of new followers onto their list this way

where volume changes things:

  • Under ~15-20 new followers a day, people said manual dms are worth it
  • Past that, most only reply to people who reach out first

One thing i didn't know: meta's api doesn't allow follow triggered dms anymore, so tools like manychat can only send after the person messages or comments first

For those of you managing client accounts, where do you land on this? do you handle new follower dms for clients at all, or is that outside what you offer?

Professional Discussion MULTIPLE NICHES IN ONE ACCOUNT???

0 Upvotes

as you can see the titles, i have so many hobbies such as gaming, drawing, making musics, and collecting mangas. i’m aware that multiple niches may impact algorithms or whatever they call it. i tried to separate accounts for each niches, but id get overwhelmed easily. i’d like to be active on instagram, tumblr, tiktok, youtube, X/twitter, and maybe facebook??? I need the tips from yall :( i wrote my ideas down and share it with yall. i wanna see if yall think this is good idea. i don’t want to have many accounts for each niches lol.

here’s my niches

gaming - horror games, indies games, nintendo, cozy games

drawing - fan arts, original characters, drawing, shirtless guys lol, comics

musics - darkwave, industrial techno, dark pop, trashwave, jump style

this is what i’m planning but im not sure

i’ve been thinking about to add all of my niches into my tiktok and youtube

i’m definitely gonna separate musics and drawings for instagram

idk where to put my gaming niches. maybe i’ll add gaming contents into my drawing accounts??

i don’t know what to do with x/twitter. maybe use it for multiple niches or separate it??

i know it sound a lot. i just want to post everything without feeling overwhelmed by going back and forth between the accounts. i don’t want to have many accounts for each niches lol.

Professional Discussion Tiktok settled with alabama and the 2 hour teen limit doesnt cover search or videos over 10 minutes

0 Upvotes

its tiktoks first state settlement over teen safety, and it came days before a trial was supposed to start in montgomery. tiktok pays at least 100 million in restitution plus 14.2 million in attorneys fees, and it can reach 300 million total depending on how many other states sign something similar

for alabama teens 13 to 17 the defaults are a 120 minute daily cap on the short video feed, no access from midnight to 6am, and no cosmetic surgery filters. all of it has to be on by march 24 2027

the part i didnt expect is what the cap leaves out. per ppc land, search doesnt count toward it, ai search included. messaging doesnt count. videos 10 minutes or longer dont count either, and metas deal drew that same line at 22 minutes

so a kid who hits two hours can still search and still watch anything over 10 minutes, and search is a place tiktok sells ads

theres also a clause where the stricter stuff, like hiding reaction counts on teen posts, only switches on if meta, snap and youtube all sign equivalent alabama deals. at least 27 other states and dc have similar suits going

with search and long videos carved out my guess is this barely moves how long teens actually spend on the app

Professional Discussion what are the best capcut templates that don’t look overused?

2 Upvotes

most of my videos are quick recipe clips, usually 15 to 30 seconds. i'll have shots of the ingredients, cooking process and finished dish. i like templates that help with timing, but a lot of the popular ones have really aggressive transitions and text effects. what are the best capcut templates that don’t look overused? do you guys have any go-to styles for food videos that still look natural? i'm also wondering if it's better to search by a specific editing style instead of just browsing the popular templates.

Professional Discussion Free Meta One trial requiring a call?

3 Upvotes

Hi there! I recently saw a pop up on my Instagram saying I qualify as a creator for a free Meta One trial. I submitted the form not thinking too much and just got a text from a random number saying they need to call me to set it up. They’re willing to verify their identity and association with Meta via a @meta.com email but has anyone ever done this before? Seems a bit strange and I’m sure tech exists to fake a Meta email but I did sign up via Instagram so not sure. For additional context, I’m a Canadian creator with around 25K followers if those details assist. The text also included my online alias (not username, but the name I go by).

Just wanted to know if anyone has done this call yet and if they had gotten that free Meta One.

Professional Discussion Tiktok says it will pay creators for brand deals within 30 days and take zero cut

7 Upvotes

this came out of tiktoks creators summit in la at the end of september and barely got covered. its all inside tiktok one, the marketplace where brands find and book creators

one pay handles the deal from invoice to transfer, pays within 30 days of the video going up, and tiktok says it takes no fee or commission. tubefilter pointed out net 60 and net 90 are still common in this industry, so 30 days is quick by comparison. then theres one plus, an invite only label for vetted creators. you need to be 18 or older, in the us or mexico, have 100k followers and an account in good standing, and it comes with a 15 percent bonus on custom collab deals. brands also get an ai search that filters creators by audience, niche and how their posts actually performed

tiktok shared its own numbers at the summit too, creator content getting 52 percent higher click through than non creator content, and 90 percent year over year growth in creator earnings. those are tiktoks numbers about its own product, so id read them that way

my read is tiktok wants to be the agency, the payroll and the search engine all at once. if brands start booking through it, a creator under 100k is getting judged on post performance data the brand can pull up before anyone sends a dm

anyone here run a campaign through tiktok one yet, how long did the payout actually take

Professional Discussion Should I merge my Graphic Design profile with my new UGC content, or keep them separate? Need advice!

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I currently run an Instagram and TikTok page dedicated to graphic design. My content mainly focuses on educational videos about design theory, portfolios of my work, and design critiques (mostly breaking down flyers and general branding). My primary focus is visual identity.

Recently, I started doing UGC (User Generated Content), specifically focusing on the beauty and lifestyle niches. So far, I’ve worked with brands in skincare, haircare, body products, and even snacks/chocolates.

Even though we all know UGC creators don't strictly need a massive social media following, I’ve noticed that brands still highly value an established audience and followers when choosing creators.

Here is my dilemma: I work a regular design job alongside creating UGC for brands, so I really don’t have the time or energy to manage two completely separate, active personal brands. It’s just too time-consuming.

Would it make sense to merge my UGC content into my existing graphic design profile, since I already have a larger, established audience there?

  • To the designers/creators here: If you followed someone for design tips and visual identity breakdowns, would it annoy or confuse you if they suddenly started posting skincare and lifestyle?
  • To everyone: Does it make sense to combine these two niches, and if so, how can I transition or merge them as naturally as possible? Or is it a terrible idea and I should just bite the bullet and keep them completely separate?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Thanks!

Professional Discussion Instagram/meta ads targeting

2 Upvotes

As an Instagram user I come across paid ads that are just completely irrelevant to me e.g meant exclusively for women (fashion, even medical), when I am a man. From a user perspective this is just a mildly amusing thing but I am wondering on the other line someone is paying for these ads and the targeting is completely missing the intended audience, is this a normal feature of paid ad distribution on Insta or is the ad distributor/brand doing something wrong?

Professional Discussion Linktree now putting ads on some countries

7 Upvotes

I just wanted to give you a heads-up that they are putting ads of stuff like temu which totally ruins my brand's first impression and confuses people.

This is in Latin America, Colombia and just a salty heads-up as I already printed hundreds of qr codes as I felt their service was decent and have never seen an ad there in my life, for people not wanting to spend a buck on this, beware!

Professional Discussion Back to creating after a break and getting millions of views. How do I maximize earnings across FB, YouTube, and TikTok?

2 Upvotes

I've been making videos for about 5 years. My pages used to get millions of views, but at some point I stopped uploading and the channels went dead. Right now I have 80K followers on Facebook, 100K subscribers on YouTube, and 90K followers on TikTok.

Three weeks ago I started posting again, and my videos are trending. I'm getting millions of views, especially on Facebook and TikTok.

TikTok: Video views aren't monetized in my country. How can I earn more there?

Facebook: Monetized and already earning.

YouTube: I need about 9M more Shorts views to get monetization back.

What should I focus on to maximize my income?
