Viral clips don't pay rent. Your audience can.
Build a subscriber community that shows up for you.
You go viral on TikTok. 2 million people watch your bit. You make $60. The same 200 real fans who follow everything you do, watch your live sets, and would absolutely pay $8/month for more from you — those 200 people are worth more than 2 million views. Spotlightly is where they go.
The problem with TikTok / YouTube
TikTok pays $0.02-0.04 per 1,000 views on comedy. A viral 2M view video pays $60-80. YouTube pays $0.50-1.50 per 1,000 views on comedy content. You're creating content that people share for free and you're subsidizing their entertainment.
