hello! i’m wanting to start doing tiktok shop affiliate creator and made a brand new account to try to get to 1k to be able to start. does anyone have advice on how to grow the fastest? i’m doing the follow for follow but i keep getting capped at how many ppl i can follow in a day. i started yesterday and am barely over 100 followers now. i guess at this rate i just need 2 weeks of doing this method. also does anyone have general advice on how to start? i’ve been watching youtube videos on how to start tiktok shop in 2026 and its the usual pick trending products and make good content etc but what else is there? i personally messaged some tiktok shop creators who i loved their way of promoting the products clearly and aesthetically and they’ve shown me their estimated commission and it’s actually insane how much they’re making so that’s why im motivated to just try it out instead of just dismissing it and thinking well i will never earn that kind of money cause who knows!! im currently unemployed (24) and while i am job searching, i still have so much free time to just do/get/make stuff and have been getting really interested in creating content and making side income so thank you in advance for any advice on this journey!

i am a beginner ugc creator who has yet to finish her portfolio and actually start pitching however i’ve been getting inspired to create content around ugc and documenting my exp growing my journey. i am seeing a lot of creators say through their social media presence they’ve been getting inbounds and because they have leverage from the company reaching out to them they’re able to charge some good numbers and thus grow their income. if im just starting out, how likely is it to gain inbounds? do most brands still care about view/follower count on my accounts therefore i can expect to only get inbounds once i hit 10k followers or something? i just wanna know what to expect and what the barriers of receiving inbounds are. ultimately i’d love to have a social media presence and receive a good chunk of inbounds so im not crazily sending 300 pitches every month or accepting low pay gigs. thank you in advance!

i started a tiktok and insta account with my sister to upload relatable content and insta reels does fairly but tiktok is always stuck at less than 100 views literally like 30 views sometimes. how do people “blow up” on here and why is insta reels easier to get engagement but tiktok keeps telling me to promote my video and only pushes it out to barely 50 people?

i am a beginner and am creating my portfolio to start reaching out to brands on the apps and reddit to secure some paid deals and hopefully grow. i am curious if there’s anyone who has “made it” and doing ugc content creation as their primary full time job and making 6 figures from that alone. i need some encouragement that if im consistent then this field can get me the opportunity to do this and make this type of money or if its oversaturated therefore you’re only seeing the top 1% make it so its all a hoax. thanks in advance!

i grew up in a loving household and ever since i was in high school, i’ve always wanted to make a lot of money to buy my parents nice things and take them on nice trips. they had me when they were almost 40 so now that ive graduated college, they’re 60 and experimenting health issues to where being on a plane is a bit difficult. i’ve been experiencing unemployment straight out of college so making money has also been delayed. i know i cannot compare my journey to my peers but when i am on a time crunch regarding the people i love and cannot provide for them, it really kills me. my boyfriend is also my age but has been experiencing quite the opposite. his parents are young, he got a prestigious job out of college, will be traveling a lot for work as a consultant and also be earning travel points to be able to provide nice hotels and trips for his family, they are currently at a 4 dollar sign ($$$$) expensive resort. im very happy for him and his family but its a direct reflection of how my current journey is and it stings just a bit more. has anyone else dealt with this and please tell me things get a bit better.

hi all! lately i’ve been wanting to manifest more of a vibe/aura. for example, when i see dancers, they just have so much cool aura and charisma as a person in my eyes. i wanna be like that. i just wanna have like a cool dancer aura. how do i even go about visualizing this? do i just tell myself i have charisma and infinite aura? it’s not necessarily concrete or like a tangible manifestation unlike manifesting a certain amount of money so how can i go about trying to manifest this and seeing progress?

As a product designer, what are some cool things you vibe coded? I’m getting into vibe coding and feel like my ideas are limitless but it becomes quite shallow. I am curious about what others have been vibe coding!

i’m nearing a year post grad unemployment. my target is a product designer. i’ve been applying, tailoring, cold messaging on linkedin, etc but haven’t landed interviews. what can i do? i’ve tried my school’s career services, tried reaching out to alumni, tried applying for internships, tried finding people on discord and reddit in my industry to connect with, tried a lot of random other things. i can’t seem to get my foot in! any advice or know anyone who can help, much appreciated.

Hey yall, tell me a pain point about Klaviyo so far or what you think could be improved.

how can i deal with my bf helping his younger sister out so much. he helps her financially and even small things like subscriptions or subletting problems he’ll step in and even contact people for her etc. i feel like these are all things we gotta do ourselves and maybe our older sibling can guide us but not take over…am i wrong? sometimes his mom will call him to ask and make sure he helps his sister with internship applying and apartment finding and everything and she’s 22 and he’s 24 so there’s not a huge gap in experience. i’m the younger sibling and don’t really need my sister to help in these things so when i see their dynamic im just very confused if it’s necessary? jealous or not idc im just tryna figure out what i can do or if anyone else has dealt with this

My bf (24) and his younger sister are very close in my eyes. I have an older sister so the dynamic is a bit different even though me and her are also very close. If you have an older brother, they can actually physically protect you so parents telling the son to take care of their sister when they’re on a trip is very valid vs an older sister also can’t really go out at night with her younger sister since they’re both vulnerable. so the dynamic is different. when it comes to financially tho, he takes care of her well when she also has her own money or can ask her parents. she is 22 so she’s had internships so far and part time and i heard she makes like $50 an our for her internships so it’s very good money and if she were to get a full time job after college, she can def make a lot of money with her major. however my bf still sends her money to take care of her so she doesn’t have to stress about this. for me as the gf, i feel like i have to pitch in more for money stuff because i don’t want my bf to have to budget tighter but i feel as though him giving money to his sister is so unnecessary. i don’t get money from my sister. he also seems to help mentor her and text her every day about things and i heard he is her role model and idol because he’s good at everything. why does this bother me. i know they’re not weird and being sexual and they’re genuinely just close but why don’t i like it.

My bf and I have been dating for a year now and we both graduated recently and during college we talked about our future together and went on trips and Boston was really nice. When applying for jobs we prioritized Boston, neither of us are from that state. I wanted Boston to just be our place and home since it would be unfair for him to have to find a place and move to TX (where I’m from) I thought finding a place where we both like and living there doing life together would be fun. After awhile, his parents out of country visited Boston to help him move and his younger sister also visited. Now they love Boston and wanna move her and his sister wants to get a job here after being obsessed with living in NY. The biggest thing for me is I don’t wanna have to be near his family, not cause it’s toxic but I will just miss my family more if his family is here and I can’t see my family often. He’s also close with his family so I don’t wanna have to always see them and feel like I’m being judged to see if I’m on my best behavior etc. How do I deal with this and is it valid to feel this way about wanting to live life together with my long term bf and wanting to find a new location to make our home? I’m not tryna gatekeep a state, at the end of the day him and his family can do whatever they want.

So i am wondering how often siblings give each other guidance the older you get. i know when you guys are kids the younger siblings tend to mimic the older sibling and follow their lead more. maybe in college too there’s a lot of ways the older sibling of a couple years can help their younger sibling with jobs and resume and other adult things maybe helping out with how to spend their money wisely and apartment finding etc since they’ve learned all of those things before. now when you guys are 30, how much do you guys really learn from each other? besides hobby things, what’s something the younger sibling will still learn from the older sibling at that age and what’s something the older sibling can guide their younger sibling about?

I want to hear from other people’s experience who were particularly close to their parents and siblings growing up, after marriage, are you able to hang out with them a lot still? how often do you guys visit each other or call/text? is it true that once you grow up, you’re gonna spend more time with your chosen partner than your birth family? what about the dynamic with your siblings?

i just have one older sister i’m 24 she’s 27 and since we were maybe 20 she’s been very volatile with her emotions. if something pisses her off, she lashes out at her family, we have to walk on eggshells around her. we’ve given her grace here and there but even my parents cannot “control” her attitude and she will yell and disrespect them etc. very recently, her contract role ended so she moved in back home until she finds a new job. we’ve been butting heads at everything again. sometimes i or my parents genuinely cannot even say anything without her remarks or attitude that i’ve now resorted to not hanging out with her as much during the day but at any point of any time she lashes out about anything. i know people cannot be controlled and maybe it’s just her personality at her age, she’s not a little kid where my parents can discipline her and mold her to change, however what are some ways where i can just feel more at peace when i’m near her. i’ve taken a lot of her negativity to heart because i’m seeing her lash out to my parents and she randomly gets mad at me and gives me attitude that she’s affected my mood a lot to. i wanna get closer to her and actually have good times with her but i think she and i are very different people so we keep clashing. thanks for any advice.
