Photo posts and carousels

How we ship most of our TikTok work today — carousels, packs, and the format gate that gets views.

What we ship most

Most of Sand Media's TikTok work today is photo posts and carousels — short, scroll-stopping slides with a clear hook. Video still matters; this is simply where the network has the most capacity and the clearest packs.

What you get (free)

  • Teaching: hooks, format gate, daily posting habit.
  • Resources: content structures, creatives, and community packs in Discord.
  • Feedback: review with a written reason when something fails the gate.

The format (same four checks)

  • Native text on slides — not a Canva caption card.
  • Listicle or numbered hook you can read in one second.
  • A real person or clear subject early — hold the scroll.
  • Every slide earns its place; no filler frames.

From resource to post

  • Grab a pack or brief from Discord / the app.
  • Build the post, publish from your assigned page.
  • Paste the TikTok link in Sand Media and submit once.
  • Views sync; managers approve; you earn on confirmed amounts with a level-based cut.

Pay (no membership)

Free to join. No course checkout under Sand Media. When campaigns pay you, the house cut depends on your clipper level — shown in the app.
