Top 5 Richest Facebook Personalities

Posted on by scatty

Facebook has been a platform where we all share our status updates, photos and videos, but it has also been a place to become famous. This is thanks in part to the ability to livestream on Facebook, especially with Facebook Gaming. Between getting sponsorships, earning money from subscribers and more, Facebook users are finding more ways than ever to become rich. Who are the wealthiest among the pack, though? Here are the five richest Facebook personalities.

5. Darkness429 ($1.5 Million)

Most people have a full time job that runs from 9am to 5pm, and Darkness429 is no exception. However, his job is playing video games for thousands of people on Facebook Gaming. Now, Darkness429 is one of the most followed people on the platform, and the Tampa, Florida native specializes in the game “Escape from Tarkov” (though he’s good at just every first person shooter). He’s also popular on YouTube and Instagram, helping to earn him some extra money away from his full time streaming gig.

4. Alodia Gosiengfiao ($1.6 Million)

The first entry on the list from the Philippines is Alodia Gosiengfiao, who was born in March 1988 and earned recognition from her cosplaying photos on the internet. Back in 2018, Gosiengfiao signed a contract with Facebook gaming to make her instantly one of the highest paid people on the platform. Though she wasn’t too well versed in making video game content at first, Gosiengfiao found her stride and earned millions of followers and dollars in the process.

3. ChooxTv ($2 Million)

A native of the Philippines, ChooxTv has over 13 million followers on Facebook gaming. Among the richest non-Americans on Facebook, Choox spends most of his time streaming games such as Mobile Legends, which has earned him most of his views in recent months. Every video that he posts tends to get over 100,000 likes on Facebook as well as thousands of comments from his fans. Having a YouTube channel also helps, padding his net worth to the point of $2 million USD.

2. StoneMountain64 ($3.5 Million)

David Steinberg, aka StoneMountain64, is one of the original people that got popular on the Facebook Gaming platform. Steinberg had been uploading gaming videos to YouTube since back in 2011, and in 2015 started to use Facebook to upload his videos more frequently. Shortly thereafter, Steinberg was one of the first to ink a partnership deal to make him a full time streamer on the platform. Now with millions of followers, he’s worth millions of dollars and has over 1 billion minutes viewed on his videos in just one year.

1. Disguised Toast ($5 Million)

Born in Taiwan, Jeremy Wang moved to Canada at a young age where he learned to work with software, creating apps for major brands like Mercedes Benz and the NFL. After spending years behind the scenes, Wang started streaming on his own, earning himself a big following on Twitch by playing “League of Legends” among other games. Then, Yang took his talents to Facebook Gaming where he inked a large contract that earned him millions. Now, he’s at the top of the earnings board and is worth an estimated $5 million and a Streamer Award for Best Strategy Game Streamer. 

Top 5 Richest Instagrammers

Posted on by scatty

Do you remember back in the early days of social media when it was basically just MySpace and Facebook vying for your attention? Now, it seems like there are hundreds of social media sites available, and it’s wild to think that some of them can make you filthy rich. Among those is Instagram, which has seen a boom in ‘influencers’ that are making millions of dollars. Who are some of the richest Instagrammers, though? For this list, we removed those that were already celebrities before even hopping on Instagram. Instead, we’re focused on those that became famous because of Instagram.

5. Sommer Ray ($8 Million)

At first, Sommer Ray was a YouTuber that focused on fitness videos before branching out into other forms of social media. This includes Instagram where she has amassed a following of over 26.4 million people. Sommer Ray has been on a few different social media teams, which includes the Cloutgang with her then-boyfriend RiceGum. Ray also runs a beauty company called IMARAIS Beauty, though that company has just 21.6k followers on Instagram.

4. Dixie D’Amelio ($10 Million)

A name that you’ll see again later in this list, Dixie D’Amelio is the older of the D’Amelio sisters that have made a big splash on social media. After her father’s political campaign, D’Amelio took to TikTok with her sister and began appearing on various videos and TV shows thanks to her talent agency. Now, on Instagram, D’Amelio is making tens of thousands per post and has a following of just under 25 million at just 20 years old.

3. Khaby Lame ($13 Million)

Nobody has more followers on TikTok than Khaby Lame, and that success has translated into a booming Instagram account. The 22 year old from Senegal went viral for his videos where he doesn’t really say anything, instead silently judging life hack videos. Lame is now an ambassador for several companies including Hugo Boss and his reach on Instagram has neared 77 million while he lives in Milan, Italy.

2. Addison Rae ($15 Million)

Another influencer that first found success on TikTok when it was still in its infancy, Addison Rae is a Louisiana native that was a dancer and aspiring sportscaster at Louisiana State before her social media career took off. Rae has used her success to reach over 40 million followers on Instagram and has made big bucks from her own fragrance that was a creation of her partnership with cosmetics giant Sephora. Throw in a little bit of acting with “He’s All That” and a hit song with “Obsessed” and Rae is doing just fine for herself.

1. Charli D’Amelio ($20 Million)

The other D’Amelio sister (the younger one of the two) is now the richest influencer on Instagram. You probably guessed that she got her start on TikTok, and was the most followed person on the platform before Khaby Lame overtook her. Still, D’Amelio is doing great at only 18 years old thanks to her many social media partnerships and has nearly 50 million Instagram followers. Has money changed her? “I’m trying to show people that I’m a person, and I deal with the same thing as you guys,” she said. “I’m trying to make the best of it.”

Top 5 Ways To Make Money On TikTok

Posted on by scatty

After a social media app starts to take off, not many people are thinking about how they can make money from the trend. Eventually, though, that platform will become so large that it’s a money making machine, and it’s not just those behind the scenes that are pulling in cash. Users are able to make money from their content, and that includes TikTok. Want to know how you can earn some cash through your TikTok hobby? Here are five ways to do just that.

5. Creator Fund

Beginning in March 2021, TikTok rolled out what’s known as the creator fund, calling it an appreciation for those that have made the app as successful as it is. This is not the easiest program to get into, however. To become part of the creator fund, you have to have over 100,000 authentic views in a 30 day span on your videos. As long as you get that amount, you can grab a piece of the pie, but there is no one set amount for each creator.

4. Ads Manager

Don’t feel like trying to get viewers the old fashioned way on Tiktok? There’s an easier route you can take, but you have to invest in yourself first. Through TikTok ads, you can promote your own videos that show up in between popular videos on the site, and this will direct people to your profile or a store that you run. While it might not be the easiest or most organic way of doing things, this is a better option if your goal is to sell things instead of creating videos.

3. Make Some Coins

There’s a newer feature on TikTok where a virtual currency can be sent to content creators called coins. When someone sends you coins, you can cash those out for real money with a minimum cashout of $100. The best way to get coins is through live video on TikTok. People that are watching are more likely to do realtime donations through coins than they would a video that was published several days prior. Think of it like donating bits to a Twitch streamer.

2. Sponsored Content

Of course, nothing makes money on social media quite like doing some old fashioned sponsored content. There are plenty of companies that are willing to advertise on TikTok by working with content creators, even if they’re on the smaller side of the follower spectrum. To get in on the action, simply go to the ‘more options’ tab on your ‘post’ screen then click on ‘branded content.’ You can also work directly with brands to advertise on your TikTok, eliminating the middleman in your sponsorship.

1. Merch Sales

Just like any entertainer, you can make a good amount of money just from your merchandise sales. Musicians do it, movie studios do it, content creators do it, so you might as well join them. Making merchandise on websites like Teespring is easy and doesn’t cost you anything. Of course, they’ll take a cut for being the ones using inventory to design and ship out your merchandise, but you still can set how much of the profits that you’re getting. Make sure to add your merchandise link on your TikTok profile and you’ll be good to go.

Top 5 Ways To Make Money On Pinterest

Posted on by scatty

With over 450 million active users, Pinterest is one of the most used social media platforms on the internet. It’s different in a lot of ways compared to other sites, too, but it does have one thing in common: the ability to make money. If you’re on Pinterest daily, consider using it to earn some extra cash. Here’s five ways to do just that.

5. Tagging Brands

The first way you can make money on Pinterest doesn’t involve Pinterest in the transaction at all. Instead, you can work directly with brands via paid partnerships, and you don’t have to have a massive following to take part. You can tag a brand on your Idea Pin, and they will receive a notification. From there, the brand can choose to approve your pin. If they do, then the brand can promote your pin and start earning you some money. Of course, brands will be selective when doing this, but as long as your pin is good, there’s nothing to worry about.

4. Affiliate Links

On top of the tagging that you can do on Pinterest, you can also work directly with a brand to become an affiliate. When doing this, the brand will set up a contract with you to create a certain amount of pins with an affiliate link that guides people to their website. Each of your posts will have an affiliate link that’s able to track how much web traffic that you brought in. Though you may not be paid up front, a successful post can net you a lot of money in commission thanks to your link.

3. Set Up Your Own Shop

Want all the money for yourself and not have to split it with other brands? That’s something that you can do on Pinterest, as well, as the app makes it incredibly easy to open up your own shop. When under the ‘Shop’ tab on Pinterest, let them know what products are available and for what price. From there, you’ll be able to showcase your products in your pins and you’ll get most of the sale minus a small fee. It’s a great way to not have to create a full website, instead using a business account on Pinterest.

2. Creator Rewards

Pinterest recently introduced a program known as Creator Rewards, and it’s a great way for users to get paid without needing a massive following. All you need to do to be eligible is to have a business account that has at least 250 followers with three idea pins and 150 saves on published pins in the past 30 days. Your original content will get you enrolled in the program and you’ll be able to work toward goals that get you paid. It won’t be much at first if you have a small following, but it can blossom quickly.

1. Become a Coach

Let’s say that you’re a Pinterest expert, but don’t really have anything that you want to sell or don’t feel like trying to monetize your content. Instead, you can help other people get to where they want to be through coaching. Offer your services as someone that can grow a brand quickly and you can make a full-time career out of it. Small businesses are often looking for social media managers, and this could be the right spot for you.

Top 5 Ways To Make Money On YouTube

Posted on by scatty

YouTube is the absolute king when it comes to video content on the internet, and it has made some of its content creators very wealthy. When seeing how much money some of the highest creators are making, it has caused a lot of us to think about getting into the YouTube business ourselves. It’s not an easy egg to crack, but you can still make some money on the side with your channel. Here are five ways you can do just that.

5. Use Original Content

One of the quickest ways to make sure that your YouTube channel doesn’t make a single cent is by using other peoples’ content. It’s even faster when you’re using content that’s owned by a large company such as movies, television shows and music. If everything that you post is completely original content, there’s no way that you can get a copyright strike filed against you. Even playing video games can be tricky as some of these games contain copyrighted music so you have to be careful.

4. Accept Fan Donations

Even if you don’t have a large following, there might be some people that still want to donate to your channel to support your efforts. Make sure to set up a PayPal link in the description for each of your videos. This allows people to send you money directly, but make it clear that there are no refunds as there have been some issues with chargebacks to troll YouTubers. YouTube also has ways in which content creators can receive money directly from fans, and we’ll get right to that.

3. Become a Partner

To add a button that allows fans to send you money right under your video without having to even leave your channel, you have to become part of the YouTube Partner Program. This isn’t an easy program to get into, however. You need to have at least 1,000 subscribers, which is the hardest part of the program. You also need to have 4,000 hours worth of your videos watched in the past 12 months. You can then link your AdSense account and you’ll start to earn revenue from your videos.

2. Find Sponsors

Some content creators that don’t have a large enough following or post enough videos to get into the YouTube Partner Program will find a way to get revenue through sponsors. It might not be a large deal that you strike with a sponsor, but you can get paid to do a quick shoutout to your sponsor or even have an affiliate code that tracks how many people are using your video to get to your sponsor’s website.

1. Sell Merch

Selling merchandise is one of the easiest and most fun ways to earn money on YouTube. Websites like Spring allow you to create your own merchandise for free, and the ability to not have to pay anything upfront means that you get a big chunk of the profit. Of course, these sites will take a big cut since it’s their inventory that’s being shipped, but if you have a good enough design, it might transcend your YouTube channel altogether.

Top 5 Ways to Make Money on Facebook

Posted on by scatty

Facebook isn’t just a website where you can update your status or see what your friends are doing. These days, it has evolved into a massive social media platform where you can do just about anything. That includes making money, whether it be on a part time or full time basis. So whether you’re using Facebook as a side hustle for some beer money or making it a career, here are five ways to make money on Facebook.

5. Use the Marketplace

Believe it or not, one of the oldest features on Facebook is the Facebook Marketplace. In its infancy, it became a very similar feature to Craigslist, basically being a classifieds section for Facebook. SInce then, it has grown and relaunched with new features, now being featured as prominently as other Facebook apps like Messenger. Marketplace now offers sales for items that you might not be using across the nation instead of locally. This can be anything from hand me down clothes to that brand new car you bought and for some reason decided you didn’t want.

4. Start Making Videos

Do you have a lot on your mind and want to do some live streams to get your opinions out there? Or perhaps a giveaway that can help drive viewership? Facebook allows you to go live, and the platform now offers in-stream advertising. The algorithm will find a natural break where they can fit an advertisement in, and you’ll get paid. How much you get paid depends mostly on the amount of people watching, as well as the company that’s advertising.

3. Getting Branded

Just like with other social media platforms, working with brands so that they can advertise on your content is one of the most surefire ways of making money. Those with an active following on Facebook can use the Brand Collabs Manager tool on Facebook to set up sponsored content that’s most effective for both you and the brand. There’s an application process, but if you’re following is pretty sizeable, you should be accepted.

2. Fan Subs

Just like seemingly everything else now, people are able to subscribe to your page no matter what type of content you’re creating. This is good if you already have a large following but aren’t sure how to monetize your popularity. For a small fee, people can subscribe to your content for exclusive access to certain posts or even just to support you. All in all, your page must have 10,000 followers and at least 250 returning viewers every 60 days. Lastly, you’ll need to have 50,000 post engagements during that time.

1. Stars

Is your page not quite large enough garner subscriptions but you still have plenty of loyal people who want to support you? There’s good news, as you’re eligible for the Stars program when you have 1,000 followers for 60 days in a row. With this program, users can give Stars to their favorite content creators during live streams or on demand videos. Every one Star that a fan sends you translates to $0.01 USD, and the amount of stars that’s been given is visible to everyone. This means it can turn into a competition amongst users to see who can be the most generous.

Top 5 Ways To Make Money On Instagram

Posted on by scatty

People are learning more and more these days that they can actually make money on social media. It’s a place where many of us never thought we would be in, but even apps like Instagram allows the average person to make some side money. If you want your piece of the massive money pile that is Instagram, here are five ways to get your hand on some cash.

5. Badge Support

Live streaming has been the biggest trend in social media, following the likes of Twitch and YouTube to get people engaged in content. Instagram is now on board with live streaming, and there’s a setup that allows streamers to earn money from their live feeds. Instagram introduced what they call badges, and viewers can purchase them and give them to their favorite creators. These badges will convert into real money for the creators, with badges being marked at $0.99, $1.99 and $4.99 increments.

4. Bonuses

While some social media platforms will refer to them as bounties, Instagram has a system where you can collect bonuses from your amazing content. One of those programs is called Reels Play, which brings in revenue depending on how many views your reel has. If you have a reel that goes viral, you can pull in a lot of money, though the minimum cash out is $100 total. This is invite only for now, but it is only offered to those with under 1 million followers.

3. Affiliate Program

Instagram rolled out a program where you can become an affiliate with the platform, working with brands where you drive sales from your posts. Instagram offers a playbook where you can find out all about the program, but in short, you get a commission from a brand’s sale anytime someone clicks the link on your profile and makes a purchase. The commission will vary based by brand and your following on Instagram, with some of the larger Instagram profiles making more enough to earn a living. This is still a new program so not everybody is eligible yet, but keep an eye out for the future.

2. Become a Salesman

You don’t have to sell things for other people on Instagram to make money, as you can simply sell your own merchandise. Let’s say you design your own clothing or make art, you can sell those products directly on Instagram without users even having to leave the app. To start, you’ll have to tag your product and there will be a link to purchase said product. Instagram will take a small cut for being an advertising platform, but you’ll still get most of what you charge to potential customers.

1. Sponsored Posts

While the affiliate program isn’t open to everyone just yet, you can still make sponsored posts without being a big time Instagrammer. Brands are willing to work with just about anyone, although you’ll obviously get more sponsorship opportunities if you have a larger following and get more money. Try connecting with brands that fit your interests. If you’re often posting about your fitness routine, try to team up with athletic brands that may be able to hook you up with a sponsorship. This will likely be in the form of a link in your caption or a code that tracks how many sales you’re bringing in.
