Tinx never set out to be known as “TikTok’s older sister.” But five years of real talk on taboo topics – dating in your 30s, botox, and having zero clue what to do in life – makes a name like that stick. Social media and influencing has gotten crowded since Tinx started posting on TikTok during COVID, and she admits she’s been rethinking her relationship to the internet and her business. Tinx shares how she's finding ways to build her career offline, thanks in part to her debut novel, Hotter in the Hamptons.
In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Tinx shares:
The difference between Tinx and Christina (yes, that’s her real name)
A boundary she has with the internet (that we could all use)
Why she only started feeling secure in her business this year
The main reason why not all influencers can sustain their career longterm
