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?

It’s rough with a faceless account, best bet would be sponsors reaching out to you, but also the creativity program is decent from what I’ve seen for most people if the tiktoks are 60 seconds plus. Maybe try build a youtube following too with longer videos, if successful that’s a lot easier to monetise

This is correct. (Check my post history)

Without a face, it’d be hard to get consistent sponsors. Brands love personalities and people moreso than faceless and possibly ai generated content. Not all views are equal.

Best bet for OP to sell Harry Potter merch and link in bio, is constantly plugging it in the videos/slides. Though even this isn’t that enticing as the Harry Potter niche is already saturated at a glance.

Keep going regardless. Id suggest sprinkling different IPs occasionally and progress beyond a Harry Potter edit account, over time of course.
