I think I may have finally achieved something on TikTok. Not viral fame.
Not thousands of pounds in commission. Not even anotherfree PR package.
No.
I have become possibly TikTok’s worst affiliate earner. And honestly… I’m quite proud. (Not really 😆)
I have products.
I have a phone.
I have a face.
I have opinions.
What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, all of it.
I’ve tried hooks.
SEO.
POVs.
ASMR.
Voiceovers.
Trending sounds.
I’ve even stared mysteriously into the camera holding a bottle of serum like it contains the secret to eternal youth. Trying to bewitch the watcher in case it’s my voice that irritates.
Other creators in my agency are casually announcing:
“I made £5,000 this month!”
Meanwhile, I’m celebrating a £2.90 commission for the month of August. My GMV? £95.00.
Actually, let’s be honest. At this rate, I could probably make more money flogging the lot on Vinted. But I won’t.
I’m still here. Still filming. Still posting.
Still hoping that the next video will finally be the one. Because I refuse to let an algorithm defeat me.
Although…
it is currently winning. The bitch!!!!
Until then I’m going a full time job trying to conquer TikTok’s funny algorithm.
Meanwhile I got myself this book and figure I need the therapy. How to be your own therapist
