Listeners, friends, community. Are you on TikTok? If so, follow me and watch, as I recreate

all the hottest memes, including the Stair Shuffle Dance Challenge, Gummy Bear Adele, and

my personal favorite, head-banging dog. Well, sadly, I'm not actually there. No Chris

Kilobo TikTok profile. My experience with TikTok is mostly watching it in the middle of the

night when I can't sleep. I just kind of pull it up and scroll through some videos. I got

to say I'm glad I'm just an author, because there are some seriously talented people out

there. Some of the work and effort it takes to make these really short videos is incredible.

Also, there's some people who have a lot of time on their hands, but that's okay. It's

cool. I respect it. Anyway, today's caller is wondering about monetizing her skills through

TikTok, taking her talents directly to the people and cashing in. Do I have any advice

for them and any other aspiring performance artists out there? Well, I'll think about

it over the course of this 30-second message from our sponsor. And then we'll dive into

I'm obsessed with TikTok. How can I make money from it?

Hi Chris. This is Kelly from Los Angeles, and I am obsessed with TikTok. How can I make

money from it? I was late to every social network, and I don't want to miss my chance

this time. And I see people using TikTok in lots of ways, and some 13-year-olds have

millions of followers. I'm not 13, and I don't have millions of followers, but I'm getting

good at making short comedy videos based on the stand-up work I do. But how do I go from

people liking my videos to getting paid? There seems to be a missing link. Thanks, and

I look forward to hearing from you.

Awesome. Thank you Kelly. So glad you're out there. I won't be keeping my fingers crossed

for your TikTok career. Now seriously folks, have you seen Gummy Baradale? Just Google
