Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and average video performance

Creator Rewards (Est. Monthly)

No estimate

Creator Rewards is for personal accounts. TikTok lists @katmabu as an organisation account, so we don't estimate a payout from the program.

Sponsorship Value (Est. Per Post)

Based on 303.5K followers

$2,428 – $4,552

Our per-follower range for accounts this size; real deals vary with niche and audience. How we estimate it

Disclaimer: These are rough estimates: Creator Rewards at the $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views creators report (TikTok publishes no rate), brand deals at our per-follower ranges (how we estimate them). Actual earnings vary by niche, audience demographics, brand deals, and individual negotiation. TikTok Creator Rewards payouts fluctuate and are not guaranteed.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 38 videos

3 of the 35 videos that aren't pinned (8.6%) passed twice the average plays and 2 passed five times it. Plays are uneven from one video to the next (consistency grade D). 3 of 38 videos are under 15 seconds and 21 run a minute or longer.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 38 videos

The videos we analysed went up most often on Friday and most around 19:00 UTC.

Posting Frequency

How often the account posts, against the typical tracked creator. It tells you whether to expect a steady stream or occasional drops.

Not shown for this account. The 38 videos we analysed include 3 pinned videos, which TikTok keeps at the top of a profile however old they are. Counting them stretches the date range, so a weekly rate from this sample would understate how often the account posts. The day and hour charts count the same videos.

A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why? Because it’s actually a front for AIPAC dark money. And they’re doing everything they can to buy my race. #aipac #trackaipac #fyp #foryoupage #woketok
