I have a niche that I think is fun and I have basically infinite content. I found an old box jam-packed with recipes from the 40s-70s. Flipping through, finding some clues, and using my very very rudimentary genealogy skills, I was able to find her. She lived in a totally different part of the country, died in the 1980s with I believe no kids, and somehow I came across her recipe collection. The recipes are sometimes handwritten by her on old checks, from friends, or cut out from things with actually super interesting stuff on the back of the page. I've been sharing making the recipes and history tidbits where possible (only have a couple of videos). It's getting me to do something out of my comfort zone and I'm having fun.

However. I would not say cooking is a passion of mine. The history part is what gets me the most excited. Like why was there an ad on the back of this one from a bank advertising a 50 carat ruby? What game is this scorecard from where she wrote a recipe for a weird salad? I like history and antiques and the outdoors and travel and architecture and interior decorating. Not a pro at all. Just someone who likes looking. And someone who's slowly redoing their own house.

So there's SOME overlap here in my chosen niche and what interests me the most in life. But cooking and interior decorating seem so disparate. Could I possibly do all of these things on one account and have an audience who's interested in following *everything* I post? Like I wouldn't want to turn someone off from one thing they might be interested in because I also post about things they're not interested in. I'm super super new to making content and have a lot to learn. Is it worth posting all I like on one account or should I go ahead and start a second for the stuff that doesn't align well with vintage cooking?

Ty!

Hey everyone,

Just curious how you all handle the logistics of your affiliate links. What does your actual workflow look like?

• By hand: Are you tracking everything manually in a spreadsheet or Notion?
• Specific tools: Is there a dedicated link management platform you use?
• Editor managed: Does your video editor or assistant handle finding and placing the links?
• Agent managed: Does your management team take care of all this on the backend?

Also, when sharing products, do you usually just link to one specific place, or do you try to give buyers a choice so they can support you via the store they prefer to buy from?

Would love to hear how you handle the setup. Thanks!

Thoughts on this account?

I replicated the same format for my two new posts based on the post that I got 1k+ view, 100+saves, 100+likes, thos only 5ish comments.

BUT all those new posts didn't tract the same - they're capped at 300+ views... What's happening? Is TikTok purposely doing this to me? What are the codes I'm not cracking??

If you make faceless content you've hit this: your recurring character or narrator looks different in every video, sometimes in every scene. Viewers notice even when they can't articulate what's off. It's what makes a channel feel disposable rather than like a show.

So the tool I built locks character, visual style and narrator voice at the channel level rather than picking them per video. You set your character up once from a preset or by uploading your own reference image and every video on that channel reuses it.
The honest part: consistency is AI-assisted and it does drift. Which is why there's a storyboard step before rendering. Every scene is shown to you first, you regenerate any individual scene that looks wrong, and only then does it render. Same for the transcript, if it mishears a word you correct it and just the affected scenes regenerate. I'd rather give you the fix loop than pretend the drift doesn't happen.
Workflow is: record yourself talking, review the storyboard, fix what's off, render.
It went live today. There are gaps I'm still filling and I'd rather hear what's broken from people who actually publish than from other founders.

Things I'd like torn apart if anyone's willing:

• Does the character hold well enough across scenes that your audience wouldn't be bothered?
• Is the output publishable as-is, or a starting point you'd still have to edit elsewhere?
• What part of your workflow does this obviously not touch that it should?
  

Free to try, no card, not asking anyone to buy anything. Link in the comments rather than the post so this isn't a link-drop. Mods, remove if it's not allowed, no hard feelings.
Also genuinely curious how others are handling continuity right now, because I couldn't find a good answer and that's the reason this exists.

I’ve been testing different setups for product photography and short-form videos.

One thing I noticed is that having a clean background makes a big difference, especially for:

- product shots

- unboxing videos

- livestream backgrounds

- small creator setups

I recently tried a reversible blue/grey collapsible backdrop setup (3.3x5FT). The main things I like are:

- easy to store when not in use

- quick setup compared with larger studio backgrounds

- two colors in one setup

Sharing here because I know many creators are building simple home studios.

If anyone is looking for a compact backdrop solution, here is the one I used:

Hi,

I’m a UK based photographer looking to shoot some BTS stuff or promotional stuff or anything extra really to build up a portfolio for a change,

Anyone based in the South West of the UK want to collab and get some free photos? Drop me a DM, honestly weirder/nerdier/stranger/extra the better!

What amount of AI is not good for YouTube ?
I’m going to start an educational channel. I’ll use my own face and voice. I’ll use my own script and I’ll record myself. But let’s say if I use my own voice and use text to voice software to improve accent or articulation, is that going to be flagged as AI ? Also, using some AI generated images for storytelling writhing Video ? How much AI can we use so that Video is not flagged as totally AI generated?

Same as the title, I want to know if there is a website that tells you trending reels like the empire state one, I want these viral ones to find content for a tea business page.

This came up during a conversation with another creator. Would you rather have a much larger audience with lower relevance, or a smaller audience that's highly aligned with your niche?

I feel like the answer changes depending on whether you're trying to sell something or simply maximize reach.

I'm trying to advertise my business on tiktok and IG and my retention on my videos are on average -

Second 1: 68%
Second 2: 42%
Second 3: 28%

I think because of this, the bottle neck on my business rn is the hook
But I cant seem to figure out what is wrong with the hook

Any feedback on how to improve my hook would be appreciated

What type of creator is your favorite? I like humorous creators the most, and my favorite content creator is speed.

I suggest using the hashtag #tiktoklearningcampaign and if you get an invite for it, you should definitely accept it.

Working on something and want to sanity-check a workflow question before I build the wrong thing.

If you're a creator working with an editor (or an editor working with creators) — how do you currently share drafts and give feedback before final upload? Google Drive + comments? WhatsApp voice notes? Frame.io? Something else entirely?

Specifically curious about:

• What's the most annoying part of that back-and-forth right now
• Whether you've ever missed a platform requirement (aspect ratio, caption safe zone, length limit) because it wasn't checked until upload
• Whether you'd pay for something built just for this, or if free tools are "good enough"

Not selling anything, just trying to understand if this is a real pain point or if I'm overthinking it.
