It is quite strange to have a brand campaign that does not consider him when seeking for influential TikTok influencers within Kampala.
The question; “But how much does he earn from these gigs?” is one often asked by those who seek to pick inspiration from what he does.
During a recent TikTok live, the usually smiley Miley revealed that he has been charging about Shs3m for endorsements with different brands in the past.
Since 2021, however, his charges hiked to Shs5m and he says that he can never take on any gig below that mark.
When people see you on TikTok, they start thinking they are equals. I don’t do any free advertisements.
Let me say this out loud right here, I stopped influencing for 3 million last year. I have never signed any monthly endorsement deal below Shs3m since last year.
It has to be Shs 5 million and above if you want my brand to work with you…and people give me that money.
