THE TIKTOK GIG ECONOMY

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

A wave of UGC gig platforms is emerging, with apps like Noise, Home from College, SideShift, and PayPer using TikTok-first strategies to recruit creators and grow. Noise, backed by venture funding, runs a network of accounts targeting moms, while Home from College focuses on Gen Z students.
