TikTok Feels So Weightless..
So I made a YouTube video and a TikTok video about the same thing.
The YouTube video got 1,000 views, the tiktok got 42,000 views
The TikTok got me 120 followers within like 2 days, from one 30 second clip that I put together in less than an hour.
The YouTube video has gained me 10-20 subscribers.
On paper, the tiktok did a lot better, and I should be focusing on that, but I really don't want to.
Even though I got 42,000 views, nothing has changed, other than I can get a little bit more clout from saying it.
If I got 42,000 views on a YouTube video, I'd likely be monetized, possibly in talks for a small brand deal, and have an audience that follows me.
That's not the case with tiktok.
In fact it's not even close. I know people who have thousands of "followers" on TikTok, have some videos with millions of views, and yet they can't make ANY money from it.
Like they technically have a following, but they just lack the "influence".
It's easy to get distracted by the low hanging fruit that is TikTok views, but in reality they seem to mean very little.
In general, the shorter your content is, the easier it is to get views, but also the less a view is worth.
From a feature movie, to a youtube video, to a tiktok.
