- An influencer marketing agency is offering $1,000 for a job scrolling TikTok for 10 hours straight.
- The lucky applicants will be asked to help spot new trends.
An influencer marketing agency is tapping into social media users' love of TikTok and offering up a dream job opportunity that will pay users to scroll TikTok endlessly.
Ubiquitous, a company that helps brands grow through influencer marketing campaigns, has opened up applications for its "TikTok Watching Job 2.0" that will pay three successful applicants $100 an hour to scroll TikTok for 10 hours straight to help them discover "emerging new trends."
The application asks candidates to subscribe to Ubiquitous' YouTube channel, fill out a form with a 50-100 word explanation about why they should get the job, and do an optional tweet about why they deserve the job. The tweet will fast-track candidates into priority consideration for the job.
All applicants must be over 18 and familiar with the platform. The application deadline is May 31, 2023.
In October, Ubiquitous offered a similar program, where winning applicants could earn $50 an hour for 12 hours on TikTok alongside other gift card perks, per the New York Post.
TikTok has grown rapidly over the past few years, doubling its worldwide user base from 291.4 million to 655.9 million between 2019 and 2021. Insider Intelligence estimates it will reach one billion users by 2025.
Wall Street analysts at Bernstein Research previously compared the app's addictive short-form video content to crack cocaine. Its format has quickly been mimicked by other social media companies including the introduction of Reels on Instagram and Shorts on YouTube.
Ubiquitous did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment about the job.
