Blogger Simbochka shared that she earned well from streams on TikTok, where viewers sent her gifts and donations. She didn't specify the exact amounts but explained why she stopped streaming in 2023. This was discussed in an interview on Masha Efrosinina's YouTube channel. Similar monetization methods on the platform are described in the article about earning on TikTok.
How Simbochka earned from streams on TikTok
According to the blogger, during the streams she interacted with the audience, responded to comments, and held joint broadcasts with other authors. Viewers sent virtual gifts, which became a source of income.
«I gave up streaming. I earned very well from it. I stopped streaming back in 2023,» Simbochka shared in the interview.
She did not mention a specific amount of earnings. According to her, stopping the broadcasts was not easy, as they brought in significant income. Other bloggers also talk about earnings on social media: for example, Rusalka XL shared income from blogging.
Why the blogger stopped streaming
Simbochka explained that among her viewers were military personnel who sent her large donations. She was particularly struck by the story of a close friend, Dmytro, who regularly supported her during the broadcasts. After he disappeared, the blogger learned that he died as a result of a missile strike.
«This psychologically broke me. I stopped streaming and said, “That's it, I won't do it anymore,”— she recalled.
The blogger also mentioned that some military personnel sent gifts to the participants of her TikTok agency. When she found out, she claimed to have asked for the returned laptops and phones and closed the agency.
Simbochka wants to step away from public life
In the interview, the blogger mentioned that she is tired of media exposure and has long been considering ending her blogging career. She came to talk with Masha Efrosinina, particularly to support women who reach out to her through her own experiences of pregnancy and motherhood.
Simbochka noted that after giving up streaming, her income decreased, but she did not specify their current level. Previously, Inkorr reported how blogger Victoria can legally earn income from advertising on Instagram.
