How to monetize 250K followers (alien.top)

My wife has built a pretty cool Tik Tok account up to 250K followers. A handful of her videos have 10M+ views while many others are in the 1-9M range.

It’s Harry Potter edits. She does all kinds of editing from the movies and games.

How can we monetize this? She has a linktree in her bio that is full of HP merch but after a month we got a whopping total of 2 clicks.

It’s completely faceless and I’m worried that suddenly reviewing a product might be too jarring. We see a lot of successful accounts that just post movie clips, how do they monetize?

A friend is in a similar spot with wanting to monetize an existing entertainment niche, and I've suggest custom enamel pins. Lots of people do it, so you're competing with a lot, but doing your own designs and small runs can have great margins. $1 each, and can sell for close to $10. Because they're custom, noone else has the exact same ones so no price shopping.

You could start with a "free plus shipping" model to test it out and order bulk Harry potter pins from AliExpress for 50 cents each, then ship them out for $2 and build up an email list.

This answers the questions "will our customers buy this?" And doesn't flood your home with bulky merch. The whole thing can be tested for about $50.
