A friend messaged asking how long it took for my video content to take off on social media, because their friend is making £800 a month on TikTok. I posted my first YouTube video in 2015 and had my first semi-viral TikTok in 2019. I reached monetisation on YouTube in 2023. So I told her the truth, "about five years or so". She didn't reply for some reason 💁‍♂️
