My wife has built a pretty cool Tik Tok account up to 250K followers. A handful of her videos have 10M+ views while many others are in the 1-9M range.

It’s Harry Potter edits. She does all kinds of editing from the movies and games.

How can we monetize this? She has a linktree in her bio that is full of HP merch but after a month we got a whopping total of 2 clicks.

It’s completely faceless and I’m worried that suddenly reviewing a product might be too jarring. We see a lot of successful accounts that just post movie clips, how do they monetize?

    I am curious, Since much of her content revolves around movie edits, and you are selling HP merch, is it possible that if you become too big, that HP could come after you to cease and desist for copyright infringement.

    Maybe that is your whole question of how to pivot off of that in order to monetize, sorry if it was I just wasnt clear if you were looking for how to continue doing the same, or if the whole goal is to leverage what you have built and go in another direction to monetize.

      Fair Use. If it came down to court OP would likely win. If it were coming down to court, OP would probably go bankrupt and could not survive till it comes down to court. But really you have to look them in the eye stand your ground and claim fair use talk about how your work is actually free advertising for them, and protest on your Tiktok about your plight. The negative reaction from fans is what will make them back away.
