Questions

How long does this course take?

Each lesson takes six or seven minutes to read and ends with a task for this week. Plan two weeks to finish all six lessons and act on each one.

Is this course free?

Yes. Every lesson is free to read, with no account. The bio page in the lessons works on the More.You Free plan.

What do I need before I start?

An account you post on, a list of questions your followers ask, and this month's numbers from your app's insights. You can start without a website or a store.

Do I need a paid plan for this course?

No. Every lesson works on the Free plan. Two features in the lessons, Auto-Pin and post attribution, are on Pro, which is $5/month billed annually ($7 month to month).

Which lesson should I start with?

Start with the Instagram lesson or the TikTok lesson, whichever app you post on most. If a brand has asked for your rates, start with the media kit lesson.

How many followers do I need to make money on social media?

It depends on the path. Instagram Gifts asks for 500 followers, and TikTok's Creator Rewards Program asks for 10,000. Your own products, paid calls and many brand deals have no follower rule from the apps, so you can start with them today.
