How To Survive TikTok Armageddon

Welcome back to Creatoor HQ, yup, I changed the name from Creatoor AI.

Why? Well, because I realized I'd rather bring value with information on the ever-changing world of tech and AI than try to keep shoving my AI tool Creatoor down your throats. I'll cover more below about this move.

Coming Up:

• Why I Changed The Newsletter Name
• What To Do Now TikTok Is Gone (Oh it’s Back? But For How Long)
• A Preview of What's Coming With Creatoor AI

Why Creatoor AI is now Creatoor HQ

2025 is a year of bold moves. That's what I told myself coming into this year. Ignore imposter syndrome hard! So if you'll humor me a moment, let me explain the direction I've decided to take this.

I started this newsletter off the waiting list of the AI product we are building, Creatoor AI. What I realized early is that I wanted to give value, but I didn't really know how.

Until now.

Moving forward, Creatoor HQ will be the homebase for Entrepreneurs and Creators who want to stay ahead and learn the latest tools and news from the world of AI and Tech. So expect actionable tutorials and insights into what's happening in tech and AI. Another reason is slightly selfish. I'm not new to this newsletter game.

In fact, one of my first newsletters I sold recently was bought for multiple six figures (I only owned a small % but built the entire format and branding before user acquisition was invested in and it was scaled up). So I know that building something that is valuable to you all will allow me to scale this newsletter even further. This will mean more sponsor dollars, more collaboration opportunities, and more free stuff for all of you!

Before I finish this section, I do have a couple of last "shameless plugs":

1. We are close to completing Creatoor AI and only need about $10,000 USD to get to the finish line. If you would like to have a pretty piece of Creatoor in exchange for investing at this early round, then just reply to this email.
2. Please follow Creatoor AI. We are growing our Instagram and would love to have you hit the follow button so we can reach more amazing entrepreneurs and creators like yourself.

With that being said, let's get into today's timely conversation.

How To Survive The TikTok Armageddon

So.. it happened. The US Gov’t shut down TikTok (atleast for now)

One of the biggest themes I keep seeing is that people lost their main source of income. The strategist in me is a little surprised so many people had no back-up but also I get it. Everybody is just doing their best. If you are one of those whose business is affected by this, I feel ya so I made a short list of a few ideas I actually use (not ChatGPT recommended) to start generating income as fast as possible.

1. Start A Newsletter

I’m not just saying this because you’re reading this right now. When I launched Nomad Cloud, not long after with just 5,000 subscribers it was making about $1,000 USD per month thought affiliate links and a few smaller sponsorships. You can even automate the process in little to no time by creating fake UGC influencers that don't exist.

2. Create Niche Content and Sell Consulting

This was one of the first ways I made real income. I mastered content creation and offered sessions to entrepreneurs I found online whose content sucked. Anywhere between $250 to $1000 for people who had no idea what they were doing. I was no Mr. Beast, but since I was a little bit ahead, I could charge for that knowledge and experience you know?

3. Become a UGC Creator

Would you be open to being paid $50 to show off a new electronic toothbrush? This is what people on platforms like UGC Shop are doing. Sure it’s not a ton of money but it’s something. And if you commit long term to building your portfolio, you’ll be able to rake in the big bucks because companies have more trust in your ability to deliver.

Creatoor AI Check-In

It’s been QUITE a journey! About a year ago I thought of this concept and started exploring the possibilities of building an AI content-generation platform that would revolutionize the AI space!

Or atleast that’s what I thought. What’s happened over the last year is so many other players have entered the arena, so I’ve had to spend a lot more time on the PRODUCT.

Meaning Creatoor AI is not just a “faceless AI tool” or the same AI clone product that most companies are offering.

What we’re building is a turn-key solution to generating content with your likeness you can post within minutes on your social media.

I can’t tell you everything because we always have competitors snooping but what I’ll say is there is no complete product focused on your needs as an entrepreneur online looking to make relevant content for your niche and at scale. Ooops said too much, execution is all that matters right? ??
