Nowadays, there are more social media platforms on which you can publish your content and earn from your hobbies. As a content creator, choose a platform that suits your needs, such as your target audience, content type, and market community.
Working with sponsored campaigns and brands is not the only way you can earn by creating content. Some platforms reward creators for their hard work. Here are the seven platforms which pay for content.
1. Instagram
Nearly everyone is on Instagram, with over 1 billion users, thus making it one of the best platforms for content creators and influencers to earn money. You can make money on Instagram by placing ads for different brands to promote their products. Besides this, you need to have some followers between 500 and 10,000.
As a content creator, you can earn from $80 to $650 per post, depending on your niche. Nevertheless, most brands want to ensure you have a good ROI to help track your IG metrics when negotiating with various companies, thus helping you to make money on Instagram.
2. Snapchat
Snapchat has about 250 million users. Having Spotlight, you can submit your most entertaining videos that meet the apps' requirements to be selected and get shared via Spotlight. There are guidelines you need to follow to get your content picked by Spotlight, such as:
- Original content.
- No services are being sold.
- The content should be 60 seconds only.
- Your videos need to be vertical with sound.
- The content should be suitable for audiences aged 13 and above.
If the moderators accept your content, you will get a notification.
3. TikTok
Do you love TikTok? It is among the most competitive platforms for content creation and earning. Various funny videos you see online are picked from the app, where millions of creators record and post videos of various comedic skits and dance routines. You must meet certain requirements to be eligible to earn including:
- Posting videos that comply with the community guidelines
- Have at least 10,000 followers plus
- Within 30 days, you should receive 100,000 views on your TikTok posts.
Once you meet the above requirements, you can click on the creator tool icon. By taking certain elements into account, the app automatically credits the funds.
4. Clubhouse
It is a great audio-only social media platform that grew in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it a perfect app for content creators who want to build relationships with a community of fun. The clubhouse does not pay you directly, so you need to get users willing to make donations. You do not have to find brands that will pay creators; instead, you will earn on your own.
5. YouTube
YouTube is a lucrative platform for all content creators. All you need to get started is to be of legal age and have a minimum of one thousand followers. Besides this, you should refrain from publishing inappropriate content concerning the company's standards.
You can launch your channel to upload videos and get paid when viewers engage with your content. Apply and follow the company's monetization policies. Growing your channel can take time, but it is worth it if you want to make money on autopilot from your hard work.
6. Facebook
Just like Instagram, Facebook offers content creators a selection of tools to use to earn money through
- A business webpage
- The Community of Followers
You can opt for paid subscriptions if you have a business page and a strong community. Aside from that, you can monetize content to earn money.
7. Pinterest
Over 4000 million people usually find inspiration for decorating, fashion, and DIY projects each month. As a content creator on this platform, you will sell your items using Product Pins. You get paid for creating original Idea Pins. Getting more responses and engagement to your pin increases your monthly rewards. You can earn it if:
- Have a Pinterest account?
- At least 18 years of age.
- Have 1,000 followers plus
- Make three or more idea pins.
You can turn guides, projects, and recipes into original Idea Pins to earn when accepted into the program.

You do not have to make social media your full-time job; you can reinvest in your content and make it more fun. So, begin sharing content on the listed platforms and earn directly from the source.
