"NOT REAL LIFE - paid tea post. Yep likely if you see a girl with a large amount of followers promote a tea with an Instagram tag. They were paid a lot.... I did it when I stared at like $300 a post. With my following now I could make $2000AUD a post EASY."
That still seems relatively inexpensive to me if you were going to launch a new product (eg Instagram had a bunch of people tweet about their product).
My advice
Set up your account to get an email when someone replies to you or sends you a message, and then block the actual website using your hosts file (on Windows) so you don't get sucked into spending tons of time there.
Things you can do to market a product on Reddit
Add a link next to your username.
You'll sometimes see little images next to people's usernames that link to that user's personal Soundcloud / website. The images are called "flair", and you can set your image / link by looking at the right sidebar
TikTok
Advice from fadarsiddiq on WIP about how he edited his 800k-view video:
1 min video = the recording depends on the event but usually less then 10-15 mins / editing is less then 10mins.
For the 800k view video = recording time: 1hr, editing time: 30mins with voice over and script.
I usually do 1-3 or 1-5secs rule of recording per angle. Then i add all the video into 60secs 1 minute video.
Anyways now iOS 18 have new record/pause feature it will be useful to record different angle/scene then see the time 60secs / 1 minute.

How Twitch subscriptions work

So a 'subscription' is a 30-day thing where you get perks for that 30 day period. If you have Amazon Prime, every month you get a kind of 'subscription token', which is redeemable for a 1-month subscription, but you can only use these free token-like things for one subscription at a time.
