A company is now paying people £80 (£79.34 to be exact) an hour to scroll through TikTok and watch videos. The position has been created by influencer marketing company Ubiquitous, which is now on the hunt for not one professional TikTok watcher - but three.
Thanks to the success of Ubiquitous’ first TikTok Watching job, which received over 50,000 applications, the company has decided to bring it back with an opening for three professional watchers. Successful candidates will receive almost £800 in total for ten hours of TikTok watching.
The chosen candidates will be charged with helping Ubiquitous to discover emerging trends by filling out a simple document of recurring trends they spot. Though it’s not technically a requirement, to boost your chances of winning it’s also encouraged to also tweet Ubiquitous_HQ to explain why you’d be perfect for the job.
Just like the firm's previous role, there are only two requirements: you must love TikTok and you must have some form of an active social media presence. Here’s the job description:
- Watch 10 hours worth of TikTok videos over a three-day period
- Follow @Ubiquitousofficial on both TikTok and YouTube.
- Record all emerging trends you encounter
- Post a video on the social media platform of your choice talking about the job, tagging Ubiquitous
Jeremy Boudinet VP of Growth at Ubiquitous said: “Due to the success of October’s TikTok Watching job, we felt it was only right to bring it back for a second time and make the idea even bigger than before. Absolutely anyone can apply as long as they have a TikTok account.
“We’re not looking for an expert or a TikTok connoisseur, we’re just looking for someone who uses TikTok fairly frequently and has an active social media presence of their own."
Applications are now open and will close on May 31. All you need to do is to fill in the application and give a brief explanation as to why you deserve the job. All applicants must be over 18, to apply, simply click here.
The winner of the first TikTok Watching Job was Rosella Cruz, a student with just shy of 75,000 followers on TikTok. Commenting on her position, she said: “My mom found the job online, and I’m somebody that spends all my days doing TikTok. I love content.
"I knew I wanted to be a content creator since I was younger, and I spend all my day on TikTok anyways, so I felt like this was an opportunity to make money and learn more while doing something that I love.”
