TikTok sensation, Jackline Mensah, stressed the greater financial prospects of the social media platform compared to traditional acting roles.
Mensah, who has ventured into acting, discussed her perspective in an interview with Afia Owusu on X-Zone, broadcasted on TVXYZ.
Despite her relatively limited experience in the film industry, Mensah confidently stated that TikTok presently provides more lucrative opportunities than acting.
“TikTok pays more than acting, that’s what I can say for now because I haven’t worked with many production teams aside from YN Production,” she said.
Mensah’s assertion is backed by her statements from a 2022 interview, where she revealed earning approximately US$3,000 per week from the social media app. This amount, equivalent to GHC23,550.00 in Ghanaian cedis, highlights the significant earning potential provided by TikTok.
Her viewpoint was echoed by fellow TikToker Ansantewaa, who also took part in the interview, supporting Mensah’s claims about the platform’s financial viability.
Collectively, their testimonies shed light on the growing economic opportunities offered by social media platforms like TikTok, altering traditional career paths and redefining concepts of success in the digital era.
