Silk had an interest and passion for acting and modeling since his childhood. He began using TikTok just like most other teenagers: to have a few laughs with his friends. In an interview with Staff Writer Anna Woodward of his school's student news site in March 2019, Silk says, “It actually started between my friends as a joke, because everyone was making fun of it”. Silk created the handle @willyum0313 in January 2019.

His first post, followed the 'Pretty Boy Swag' trend that was very popular on the platform at the time, in which the user donned a certain look and compared it with a lookalike among celebrities or from popular media. As rapper Soulja Boy’s song 'Pretty Boy Swag' played in the background, he reorganized his hairstyle before cutting to an image of popular cartoon character 'Ben Ten', and captioned the post “#basicwhiteboy”.

He immediately got noticed on the platform, and gained a lot of fame after one of his videos, showing him lip-syncing to a clip by popular YouTuber Brandon Rogers, earned over 200k likes. He began to take things seriously after he gained 75 thousand followers, as well as over one million combined likes on his videos, within a period of about one month.

Silk later changed his TikTok handle, to @liamsilk, and started regularly posting funny videos inspired by his day-to-day interactions with friends and acquaintances. He hit 1 million followers on the platform by June 30, 2019, following which he also made a celebratory post on his Instagram thanking his fans. While not the most popular video anymore, his first TikTok video is still his most favorite one because “it shows how I grew from there”.

His became active on Instagram in April 2019, and in November, created his eponymous YouTube channel, on which he has posted a few vlogs so far. While his YouTube channel is still growing, he has ready amassed a sizeable fan following on Instagram.

Silk currently uploads comedy video clips, lip-sync videos, and acting and dubbing videos as well. He mainly gained popularity on TikTok due to his comedic video clips, as it was the most interesting to watch on his personal page. His comedy video that was captioned “shout out to @thisaintjay also thanks for all the support” earned nearly 1 million likes. His shout-out to Johnathan Lynch in a video was liked nearly a million times.

Silk began pursuing a career in acting and modeling and signed with Vertex Management Group in 2019. And, he has collaborated with various other artists to make amazing videos. At the moment, he is a crowned user on TikTok with 7 million followers and 504 million likes on the platform.

Silk is popular on Instagram as well and he also runs a YouTube channel under the name “Liam Silk”.

Silk’s net worth is courted to be an estimated $500k and most of his earnings come from his social media presence as a content creator.

On TikTok, the creator could potentially earn upwards of an estimated $7k per post, excluding brand-sponsored deals. On Instagram, he could earn upwards of an estimated $3k for a brand-sponsored post. On YouTube, his average earnings are around the $600 mark per video, excluding brand-sponsored deals, for which he could charge upwards of $1k per video.

When it comes to brand collaborations, Silk has associated himself with several top brands over his social media and content-creating career. We currently do not have the figures to justify how much he could earn from these sponsored collaborations, but we can assume that it could be a majority of his earnings.

Silk also sells merchandise on third-party websites, like Red Bubble and Represent, that are catered to his fans. With the average price of each item falling between $25 to $60, we can speculate that Silk earns towards the 5-figure mark each year in sales. We currently do not know how much he precisely earns, as there is no information available regarding that.

Silk’s dominance on social media is very evident with over 7 million TikTok followers, while on Instagram he has over 583k followers, and on YouTube, he has 35k subscribers.
