The TikTok Marketing Podcast with Fexingo: Short Video, Creator Economy, and Viral Content

Fexingo

Lucas and Luna dissect the mechanics of short-form video marketing, from TikTok's algorithm to the creator economy's revenue splits. Each episode examines a specific case — a brand's viral campaign, a creator's monetization strategy, or a platform policy change — and extracts the numbers that matter: cost-per-engagement, average watch time, affiliate conversion rates. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering social media trends, pushes for concrete data; Luna, a former brand strategist, tests those numbers against real campaign performance. They debate whether 'viral' is a repeatable strategy or a lottery, how creator equity deals compare to ad spend, and what the TikTok Shop rollout means for small businesses. This show is for marketers who need to justify their short-video budget to a CFO, creators who want to understand platform economics, and anyone tired of hot takes about 'going viral.' Can a 30-second video really drive a seven-figure product launch — and if so, how? #TikTokMarketing #ShortVideo #CreatorEconomy #ViralContent #SocialMediaStrategy #InfluencerMarketing #Algorithm #ContentStrategy #MarketingROI #TikTokShop #BrandPartnerships #Monetization #DigitalMarketing #Marketing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketingPodcast #Business Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

    How TikTok Creators Sell Their Brand Deal Rate Cards

    In this episode of the TikTok Marketing Podcast, Lucas and Luna unpack the quiet rise of the creator rate card. As brands pour more money into TikTok than ever, top creators — from MrBeast to niche micro-influencers — are ditching vague 'DM for rates' and publishing transparent price lists. Lucas walks through the anatomy of a rate card: how creators price a single video, a series, or an exclusive, and how they factor in usage rights, deliverables, and their engagement-to-follower ratio. The conversation zooms in on a real example — a mid-size lifestyle creator who doubled her income by switching to a published rate card — and contrasts it with the risks of anchoring too low or coming across as too transactional. The hosts also get into the psychology of negotiation in the TikTok economy, why rate cards are becoming a signal of professionalism, and what brands actually think when they see a price list. If you're a creator looking to monetize smarter or a brand trying to understand creator pricing, this episode gives you a clear-eyed look at the new rules of the game. #TikTokMarketing #RateCard #CreatorEconomy #InfluencerPricing #BrandDeals #Monetization #CreatorStrategy #TikTokCreators #InfluencerMarketing #Negotiation #MicroInfluencer #ContentCreator #MarketingPodcast #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CreatorTips #BrandCollaboration Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
