Lemon8 from ByteDance has become a sensational lifestyle app in the United States since its launch in February. With its popularity, the number of content creators is increasing every day. But does Lemon8 have a verification badge just like on TikTok so that they can earn money?
Let’s discuss a few things on this topic.
What is a Verified Profile?
A verified profile tends to be a genuine account of creators.
If someone has an account verification badge they become more original content creators.
For example, if I’m posting something on TikTok that is based on true facts, informative, and helps the audience rather than copied then there is a high chance my profile will get verified.
But it also depends on other various factors such as authority, people’s trust, expertise, and experience.
Moreover, having a good amount of genuine followers, likes and comments also plays a vital role in getting a verification badge.
So, the verified profile can get a good amount of support in earning money with their posts and brand awareness.
Can You Get Verified on the Lemon8 App?
No, the Lemon8 app didn’t have a profile verification feature till now.
Every content creator on the app has a normal profile rather than a verified one.
So, you are getting the same features or options as another person without any restrictions.
There should be enough attractive posts that could bring the audience to you.
If your content doesn’t have uniqueness than others then it’s kind of difficult for you to sustain on Lemon8.
Does Lemon8 Will Ever Have a Profile Verification Feature?
I am not sure whether Lemon8 will add a profile verification feature in their system or not.
There are not enough users in the app which brings a lot of traffic from all around the world.
The app was recently launched in 2020 in a few regions of Asia such as Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam in the hope of replacing Instagram and Xiaohongshu.
Besides, it’s been only a few months since the launch of Lemon8 in North America and the UK in February.
With this, the app is new to people and it will take a lot of time to get used to it.
And, Other lifestyle app has taken over the social media platform which is a challenging job for a company.
Therefore, whether ByteDance is looking for enough traffic in the app or won’t bring the verification system ever.
Is Lemon8 Paying Creators?
There is no proof from content creators whether they are getting paid by Lemon8 or not for posting pictures or videos.
However, based on a report in The New York Times, influencers can earn money by making valid content using multiple images, descriptions, hashtags, captions, titles, and more.
For example, you can directly sell on Lemon8 or introduce products of some brands with their physical shop location and price.
If Zara is paying me to promote their newly launched fashion bag then I can post an image of a video of holding their product and talking about it. I can also include the price tag of the product with a tracked location in my post.
So you don’t need a business or professional Lemon8 account to sell products or become an influencer for promotion.
In this way, you can earn money as an influencer and Lemon8 also pays you when you have a quality post by following their guidelines.
However, you can’t always rely on Lemon8 to get paid since most of the people are doing the same thing as you.
Besides, there is hardly any entertainment, fun, or relaxing content on Lemon8 compared to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or other Social media apps.
All you can see are the posts from the lifestyle, fashion, Beauty, Travel, Fitness, and Food category that looks like the Social media platform version of an E-commerce website.
So, if you are into these types of content then Lemon8 is for you; otherwise, you may not like the app because of the same posts every single day without an entertainment category.
Should You Worry About the Lemon8 Verification Feature?
I personally don’t think you should care about the verified profile.
Rather keep on creating good content and bring out the new products in your post.
People do like new and different stuff rather than going for the same post over and over again.
So, think about how you can keep your followers with you for a long time instead of a short period.
