During the Monday, November 3, episode of Jason Tartick\u2019s \u201cTrading Secrets\u201d podcast, Bader, 30, recalled being short on funds earlier in her career while struggling with a binge eating disorder. \u201cWhen I started making videos, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI think sharing my salary is something that sets me apart from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/best-influencer-accounts-to-follow-in-2026-jake-shane-and-more\/\">so many other creators<\/a> and helps build trust with my community,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Edelman got candid about his finances during a 2025 episode of the \u201cTrading Secrets\u201d podcast, sharing that he <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/influencer-bran-flakezz-breaks-down-his-765000-content-creation-salary\/\">made $768,000 in brand deals<\/a> the previous year. He went on to explain that he had been \u201ctrending up\u201d to about $5,000 per month on the TikTok creator fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat people don\u2019t realize about TikTok is I just get money from the creator fund. I see creators that really use TikTok Shop and they\u2019re making like $10,000 to $15,000 a month on TikTok Shop, which is crazy,\u201d he claimed, adding that the majority of his income is brand partnerships. \u201cI\u2019m not a product pusher. I\u2019m not a linker. Do I do it here and there? Absolutely. But that\u2019s never going to be the bread and butter of my business. I\u2019m more entertainment, comedy-focused.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Edelman said at the time that he was toying around with the idea of hiring an assistant, which he thinks would be an investment that could benefit him in the long haul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m at the point of my career now where I\u2019m like, \u2018OK, but do I need to put $70,000 of that towards an assistant who can help me then post on threads, post on Snapchat? And then I\u2019m paying her $70,000 but what if she\u2019s able to make me a few $100,000 off of other platforms that I\u2019m too spread thin right now to manage?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cSo those are more of the conversations I\u2019m having now as a business person. It\u2019s like, \u2018OK, how do I sustain the business?\u2019 Always the most important thing. How do I sustain? How do I grow? And how can we get creative with growth because now the following is there. It\u2019s great. Of course I always want to grow my platform, but I\u2019m very happy with my platform size. Now it\u2019s like how do I actually grow that dollar amount? And it\u2019s having those conversations of, do I invest in this, do I invest in that?
