This article can help you get started, check out three things you can do to make a nice income with pets.
Make your pet famous
Our first tip is focusing on one type of pet
There are many categories of pet accounts on TikTok. For example, in the category of dogs alone, there are husky, golden retriever, border collie, corgi, shepherd, samoyed, alaska, teddy, labrador, chihuahuas, German blackback, poodles and many more.
It is recommended that you create videos and use hashtages based on one type of pet. If you like husky, keep posting contents of husky that can attract exactly the lovers of husky.`
If you post huskies one minute and corgis the next, it either won’t work or the cluttered category won’t be helpful for the account to get massive in popularity.
Our second tip to make your pet famous is using hashtags
As we mentioned earlier in this article that #petoftiktok is trending on TikTok, there are also other related hashtags to use, such as #doglove, #catsoftiktok, #dogsoftiktok, #funny, #puppy, etc. For inspiration, look at some most viewed dog videos from famous pet influencers, like @twiniboo and @otis_thelab.
Our third tip is posting regularly
When one of your videos go viral, you should keep posting videos to hold up traffic with volume. Usually a video with hundreds of thousands of views can get you a few hundred followers.
Continuously posting videos means that the account will again have popular videos and gain more followers. However, there will be some fall back after reaching 10,000.
TikTok’s Creator Fund
You can start to make money on TikTok with your pet’s account using The platform’s Creator Fund. It is an incentive to steer TikTokers to make viral content that people would like to share, and then people stay longer on the platform.
However, you have to have a “Personal” account, instead of a “business” account, and make sure you post original contents, meaning you create content yourself.
Partnership with brands
Now that you (your dog) are a pet influencer with a large and engaged following, you are very much likely approached by TikTok’s brands that want to collaborate with you.
