Day 2

Sunday June 8, 2025

Today I explored Whop because I am still waiting on my LLC to be approved (so I can't dive into the Amazon programs yet). What tf is Whop and can I make money from it? Whop is a social commerce platform where users can create and sell access to digital communities and tools. It essentially allows creators to offer online courses, private community access, digital downloads, and other services, often bundled together and called "whops". But I have none of these, so I am going to focus on clipping existing content to see if I can make any money there. First thing's first, what fuggin content do I clip and how do I drill down to a niche that isn't oversaturated (that people want to watch)? First thing that comes to mind is comedy...maybe pet vids? Eh, let's explore the platform first and then decide on a niche.

I am not going to lie. Joining Whop immediately made me think that there is money to be made here, but pretty much everywhere has people that will convince you there is money to be made....so, let's go down the rabbit hole with this one. They show you accounts and what they offer and I thought - heck yeah, I can totally do this.

Now that I have joined and I have a Whop page, setup begins. Important things to do for your Whop page. Link all of your socials. Right now I only have Insta and X, so linked those to my Whop. Set up your payment method because mama needs to get paid! Since I set up my LLC and will keep everything separate, I had to create a new Stripe account - no big deal. BUT WAIT. Stipe is a piece of ish for taking live photos of your ID. They don't allow an upload, you must take a live photo. I tried my ID, my license, and my passport. It wouldn't read any of them on my pc (I have a brand new LG Gram - LOVE this jazzy ass machine). I ended up taking the photos on my shitty iphone 13 and it worked. So, moving on... The rest was pretty straightforward.

Setup is done. Page created. Payout account linked. Now what??? I started by reading the Learn section on the Whop Clips page. Let the learning begin.
