Peter Kafka: 我想利用这段时间来做一些我之前在这个节目中从未做过的事情,那就是告诉你内容公司和创作者实际上是如何使用TikTok以及他们如何在TikTok上赚钱和不赚钱的。这包括TikTok的运作机制,内容创作者如何利用平台,以及他们如何通过品牌合作等方式盈利。 同时,我也想了解TikTok与其他类似平台(如Instagram Reels和YouTube Shorts)的差异,以及这些平台的算法和用户群体有何不同。 最后,我还想探讨TikTok在美国面临的政策风险,以及这些风险对内容创作者和内容公司带来的影响。 Adam Faze: 我主要想谈谈Gymnasium的运作方式,以及我们如何在TikTok上赚钱。我们公司主要制作短视频节目,并通过品牌合作来盈利。TikTok的算法对我们的成功至关重要,它能够快速地将我们的内容推荐给目标受众。 与其他平台相比,TikTok的算法更注重用户的兴趣,而Instagram Reels则更倾向于激怒人的内容,以提高用户参与度。我们发现TikTok的用户群体相对年轻,而Instagram Reels的用户群体则相对年长。 虽然TikTok的政策风险确实存在,但我们目前并没有因此改变我们的运营方式。我们仍然专注于制作高质量的内容,并与品牌建立长期合作关系。我们也积极在其他平台发布内容,以分散风险。 我们公司成立18个月以来,已经成功制作了两个热门节目,其中一个获得了亚马逊的赞助。我们的成功秘诀在于,我们专注于制作高质量的内容,并与品牌建立长期合作关系。我们也积极在其他平台发布内容,以分散风险。 我们制作的节目与网红内容不同,我们更注重故事性和创意性,而不是单纯的流量。我们与有才华的创作者合作,制作出真正有价值的内容。

Shownotes Transcript

TikTok banned itself for less than a day. Now it’s back in the U.S. - despite a law that says it shouldn’t be operating. We’re not going to weigh in on all of the… weirdness around the last few days on this episode, in part because we don’t know how it’s going to play out.

But in the meantime I wanted to talk to someone who knows how TikTok actually works — from a content creator’s perspective, at least. Adam Faze runs Gymnasium, a small production studio that specializes in TikTok videos, and so far it’s gone well: In 18 months, he’s launched two successful shows, signed up Amazon to sponsor one of them, and is ramping up to make more. He walked me through the way companies like his actually make money on TikTok, how the platform differs from TikTok clones like Instagram Reels, and how he thinks this could grow in the future. Assuming TikTok sticks around the U.S., that is.
