She's worth $5 million at age 27, so she knows what she's talking about!
Kris Collins.
Kris Collins, @kallmekris on TikTok, now knows the ins and out of the social media world and claimed the title of the second-highest-paid TikToker in all of Canada for 2022. She made a massive $4.75 million from it that year, according to Forbes.
This iconic TikToker from Vancouver, B.C., wasn't always so famous and just happened to fall into it, after losing her hairdressing job during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The full-time video creator now has over 49.5 million followers on TikTok, making her the most popular TikTok creator in Canada. She also has 9 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 3 million followers on Instagram.
In an interview with Narcity, Collins got real about how to actually make money on the platform and shared some tips for anyone looking to get into the content creation game.
@kallmekris What has TikTok Diagnosed you with?
"TikTok is definitely the easiest platform to grow your audience on, so I would definitely start on there," Collins said.
@kallmekris Tell me yours 🫣
Should you work with a content creation agency?
If you are looking to become a TikTok pro like Collins and make money off of it, working with an agency might be a good idea.
"Finding good representation is really important starting out," Collins said.
Although, she added to "never go with an agency that charges more than 10% commission."
"I learned that the hard way," she said.
How do you stand out on TikTok?
@kallmekris This Audio Fits Her Too Well😂
Collins was able to stand out in a crowd and become one of Canada's highest-paid TikTokers, so she knows a thing or two when it comes to finding your niche.
"I highly suggest starting out with content that separates you from the rest," Collins said.
How do you choose what to make videos about?
The old saying, "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life," goes hand in hand with Collins' content creation advice.
"Whether it be comedy skits, cooking, giving parenting tips etc., do something that you're passionate about and find a way to make it your own," she said.
What is the key to success on TikTok?
Collins' last piece of advice to take yourself to the top, is to "stay consistent."
Keep up your content game, and post on a regular basis. Good luck out there all you future TikTok millionaires!
