Every day, we scroll through the same platforms—TikTok, Instagram, maybe even Facebook if we’re feeling nostalgic. We know how they work. We know what to expect. But when I heard about Flip, a social shopping platform that pays for engagement, I had to ask myself: Why not try something different?

This isn’t about whether Flip is better than TikTok or Instagram—it’s not. They’re nothing alike. But that’s the point.

This is about being open to new opportunities. Sometimes, stepping outside our comfort zone—whether it’s a new platform, a new hobby, or even a career move—can lead to something unexpected.
