 Tiktok is also Dropping messages for this subscription game. Let's throw this up on the screen Bam exploring new ways for creators to build their community and be rewarded with live subscription now Before I even get it to this message jacquory. What is your being your experience with the live subscription? Cuz then you turn yours on. Yeah, I turned it on but I haven't got to go live and usually I was waiting on my Emotes to get done. You know saying they just finished up Tell them about that process. So so in order to sign up for The the new subscription feature. I mean when your profiles again I don't know if they have any like follower or like watch our requirements for yet They weren't too clear on that but in order to sign up for one thing they make you do is you have to create at least one Emote for your profile. So they make you name your subscriber badge They make you upload at least one emote recommended file at least one And you have to set like what your subscribers rewards are for subscribing So they give you like I'm gonna say like 12 different categories. You can pick from you have to pick at least four So like I think for mine I picked like they could go live with me They could recommend topics that could send me their music and it was something else But you have to pick at least four of those things. So what's a little bit different with their Suscription services going back to the emote thing They're making sure that you take it at least a little bit serious Before you or even to even make it go live like it's not something you can just like click a button and then do it and start Making money. It's like no, like like as I brought a go pays my own fire to make me I'm guessing if you someone that has graphic design skills and you put it together yourself You you will essentially could do it for free But they're forcing you to put a higher level of activity into it just to start using it You know Sam, which is interesting. Yeah, that's that's interesting because I mean one it is a higher barrier of entry, so I guess they wanted to be of a certain level of quality and Have you seen the amount of payment? Yes subscriber so each Subscription I think is $5 or $4.99 and then the creator makes and I could be wrong And I think it's $2 and 10 cents a subscriber or $2 and 40 cents subscribe one of those two Okay, it's $2 and something saying so because the graphic they sent to my email when I signed up was like, you know if you got like 3000 subscribers, you know I'm saying you making like seven bands a month or a little almost seven bands a month That was a good graph. They sent me got it. Um So I mean is I've seen a couple of credit come from my for you page that seem to have a good amount of subscribers already I mean they seem to I mean still pretty new like I think they've been bettering it for a while but it seems like they're just starting to roll it out to most of the The I would consider myself a smaller credit. So it's not the smaller credit. It's like we just starting to get it, but I Don't know man kind of goes back to like what we just said about you too Like it looks like tiktok is trying very hard to figure out not to pay us directly Yeah, but they give you these opportunities to make money off the audience that they'll give you which it's like It's hard to complain about it because like well, they are Giving you the audience pretty quickly. Yeah, if you use it correctly like it's like it makes me think like man How fast could I build up three thousand subscribers on tiktok? All right, how fast could I build this to seven and ten bands a month off of just a subscriber base? But I know what they want me to do when they want me to live stream on that shit every day for a couple hours a day And that's the part. I don't know if I haven't any to do yet You know man, that's the part that I don't know if I have that work ethic in me to live stream like a true live streamer That has to that's a whole business model. That's a thing. That's not a part of your business bottle It don't make sense. Yeah, that's that's the problem with it So it's great for people who truly want to do that I'm sure a lot of people gonna make really good money. All right, I can imagine myself, man If I was in that space, I'd be live streaming on tiktok you to Same time talking to all right. Who'll give me the most money? I'm gonna talk to y'all over here It ain't about no money, bro. They ain't tipped off. Yeah Shut it off man. Y'all come over to you too. So I I could see Why it'll be beneficial for creators who want to put that that work in the problem is I feel like it's minimal for Many artists All right, we already talked about before tiktok lives is a great opportunity still to get discovered and do some really cool things And we know many artists that are making good money from just going live and getting those badges alone Yeah, so I wonder would that be $5? Whatever your subscription price? And so far you don't get to change the subscription price It's just well, I'm saying like but your subscription price But then you're also making money on top of that with stickers like what it could eliminate stickers No, so yeah, so yeah, so all that stuff like all the regular live stuff still apply The badges are just for all the subscriptions are just for a way for you to almost It's like the equivalent to the super fan feature on Or super child super fan feature on YouTube right or like the subscribers on Twitch like hey I'm still a part of your regular viewers on your lives I just know get a badge and I can use your emotes and I pretty much I get to stand out in your fan base So you still get your sticker donations um I know one of the difference they talk about like your subscribers get a separate chat In your in your live so like you can see like your subscriber chatting like a regular live chat You can still get donations from all of them. Hey, hold up. Hold up Hey, y'all y'all can't see this but I had to rig the light over jacquory And it's slowly about to fall, bro. So if you could catch that before the light It should be cool though. I like let's let's just hope it stays right. Let's let's see if the light changes on them All right jacquory gonna look it's gonna look a little bit darker, bro. You might have to come closer to the table you know, I mean we're You know had to rig the light last second But you know jacquory look a little bit better, you know the whole background Is a little bit better quality and everything in the other episodes. So, uh, yeah, bro I was hoping you were gonna catch that You know the rig the rig has to happen sometimes, you know, we better next week All right, well with that being said though like Tick tock with the uh with the lives. I think I mean youtube's going crazy with lives tiktok's going crazy with lives Um, who else obviously twitch Instagram has the subscriptions. They're not going crazy with lives, but they are going subscriptions They got the badges you can buy So obviously It's a huge opportunity for all these platforms. They see it. They want to make it happen. Yeah One thing that artists have to do is make sure they don't get caught up in all these opportunities because this is why I don't like doing videos on all these random tools, right? Where people like oh, here's a new tool where you can build your audience faster And then here's a new tool every week. They're talking about a new way you can use gated downloads or uh, certain playlist or What do you call it the private groups where you join? Like the telegram group thing. Yeah, and y'all all like each other stuff. Oh, yeah I know what it called, but it's leaving my mind for engagement pods engagement pods things like that, right? Because if you get caught up in all these different things, you're just chasing you're chasing you're chasing And you're never really getting the chance to have a strategy that you can stand on Which is why a lot of those big youtubers also don't just get caught up in new platforms because I'm like I'm winning I'm killing it. I'm dominating something and do I do want to take advantage and figure out a grow and add more But it has to be worth it But if you're always chasing each of these tools that really aren't going to change the game for you Right, unless you invest in them and make it a significant part of your strategy You'll just be running around like a chicken with your head cut off And you're over year you and try 20 tools and you're not that much further along All right, where there we know that there's artists who are winning without using presafes Which hey, we've had massive success using presafes without using influencers But we've had massive excessive influencers without using some things like the the what do you call it? The like the toned in links all these different things, right? they're just tools and they have to have a consistent space in place within your strategy and Having all these opportunities sounds good that tick tock that subscriptions Oh, I can make money on tick tock now and I can make money through You know youtube subscriptions and pay uh instagram all that stuff sounds good But you can get lost in a sauce like you can't have subscribers paying on all these multiple platforms, right? So That that opportunity isn't as big as it looks and I think all of them know like we're playing this game And we're trying to win and figure out which one of us are going to win in terms of the pay subscription Socials that people will be willing to do that's the way it feels like battle. This is the subscription model It's a battle for real. It's it's for real. So you don't want to make That's why you also have to watch right the boat that you're in yeah, because some people might end up Dedicating themselves to a model that won't be there next thing, you know all youtube Yeah, we're actually sunsetting our program. So this will be the last year or last six months that we're running subscriptions Thank you guys Well, yeah, but we're moving on we found better ways to serve our creators You know, it's gonna be flipped like that And you just built your whole business right and one that's not gonna exist anymore So now you're like dang, I should have built it on tik tok So That's why it's important these conversations of things that we talk about it's like because it's not just okay You do good But you got to do good on the right ship because if that shipping around anymore Then it's like dang. You just wasted a lot of effort. Yeah, all right, so That's something to pay attention to these are great opportunities But which opportunity is the one to take advantage of and Appreciate you watching fun fact every time you soak up one of these gyms You get a little bit smarter from these clips.
