- Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and Twitter are social media platforms that can be monetized.
Social media is a popular platform for entertainment and communication in Kenya. However, it has also become a lucrative money-making opportunity for people with a large number of followers.
This is known as “influencing,” where people use their online presence to help sell products and ideas. Because of the sheer number of followers they have, influencers can command high fees for sponsored posts and product endorsements.

TikTok is a newer platform, but it has quickly become a popular way to make money in Kenya. To make money on TikTok, you need to have at least 1,000 followers and you can earn money through virtual gifts and brand sponsorships.

No matter which social media platform you choose, the most important thing is to create high-quality content that your audience will enjoy. If you can do that, you will be well on your way to making money through social media.
