For six years in a row, Finland has been named as the worlds happiest country. Now, as part of an initiative to drive tourism, the countrys tourism bureau has been offering people the chance to be trained in being happyand has received more than 150,000 responses through social media.

The initiative, led by Visit Finland and developed by agency SEK, will offer a select group the opportunity to participate in a four-day masterclass in Finnish Lakeland to help Find Your Inner Finn.

Featured in the masterclass are four key themes: nature and lifestyle; health and balance; design and everyday; and food and wellbeing. Helping participants to connect with nature, the masterclass takes place at the Kuru Resort in the Finnish Lakeland, a luxurious destination surrounded by fragrant pine forests.It will also be made available as an online resource in the fall.

We believe Finnish happiness is a skill that can be learned: Anyone can connect with nature, learn about a more balanced approach to life, and discover their inner Finn. With this masterclass, we want to give more people the keys to happiness, explained VirvaKatajala,head of marketing at VisitFinland.

A 45-second campaign film outlining the opportunity to win a place in the masterclass was also released across social media platforms, showcasing the natural landscapes of the country.

To get involved, social media users on Instagram and TikTok were encouraged to share the first thing that came to mind when thinking about Finland to win the chance to attend the masterclass. Influencers around the world were tasked with joining in to drive awareness of the initiative, too.

We encouraged people to create Reels on Instagram and Duets on TikTok. This allowed us to experiment with the strengths of the two channels; at the same time, participants could have a lot of creative freedom and fun, said EnomaEdevbaro, socialmedia and influencer marketing lead at SEK.

We gained lots of organic traffic, and the message of Finnish happiness reached diverse communities from all over the world, she added.

Having begun in March, the social campaign led by Accenture Song using the hashtag #FindYourInnerFinn drove around 150,000 video entries from more than 190 countries, and more than 20,000 social media challenges were received. It was supported by PR outreach which has, so far, generated coverage across 900 media outlets including CNBS and CBS News.

The NFLs first television sponsor in 12 years is thinking social first with its activation plans, and is also considering bolt-on deals with EA Sports and league media rights holders Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.

TCL, the Chinese television maker that has increased global market share in recent years, wants to supercharge its brand recognition and sales in the United States specifically focusing on its gargantuan 98-inch models and their potential role in the life of a football fan.

Weve got aspirations to be the best-selling 90-inch-plus television brand in America, and thats what were focused on, said Chris Hamdorf, an electronics sales veteran hired by TCL in April 2022 to guide its growth ambitions. Thats going to create a halo effect for the rest of our line.

The terms of TCLs sponsorship deal are unknown, but Hamdorf called it one of the companys most significant marketing expenditures globally.

TCL went big in the NFL to promote its giant 98-inch televisions.

TCLs giant TVs had a prominent spot during the NFL Draft telecast, when they served as the backdrop for red-carpet interviews done by ESPN analyst Mina Kimes. However, the brand is now focused on the regular season part of the calendar that accounts for 55%-65% of all television sales, a period that coincides with holiday shopping. Theyre considering activating around the Aug. 3 Hall of Fame Game as kickoff to TV-buying season.

Social media, a marketing channel still in its infancy when market leader Samsung left the NFL fold in 2011, will play a key role in, as Hamdorf puts it, giving the consumer permission to consider the 98-inch option.

TCLs vision for social marketing is to create short-form content showing their products in the lives of NFL players and teams. Imagine, for instance, an Instagram reel showing players entering training camp in August and being wowed by new, giant TCL televisions showing highlights, or playing video games on a TCL screen.

Thats one of the things where we have an intersection with a lot of the players, younger players especially they love to game, Hamsdorf said, floating the possibility of working with the Madden video game series produced by EA Sports under contracts with the NFL and NFL Players Inc.

So far, TCL has done team deals with the Atlanta Falcons, Los Angeles Chargers and Seattle Seahawks. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf and Chargers safety Derwin James Jr. will appear on packaging. TCL will shoot a commercial with Herbert in June, Hamsdorf said.

To the brand awareness end, the NFL rights allow TCL to show NFL broadcast footage on its display models in retail (Best Buy, Costco and Walmart are key distributors). The company is also in talks with Amazon and Google to specifically promote and display Amazon Thursday Night Football or YouTubes Sunday Ticket in stores.

In 2022, TCL narrowly edged out rival LG to become the second-largest TV brand in the world by units shipped, according to a February report by research firm Omdia. However, its estimated 11.7% share remains far behind Samsung, at nearly 20%.

A television this big and wide is a premium product. But with economic uncertainty roiling U.S. consumers, TCL will make a value pitch to football fans, Hamsdorf said: its 98-inch screen TV has a typical price of around $6,000, similar to other brands 85-inch models.

This story is part ofCNBC Make It'sSix-Figure Side Hustle series, where people with lucrative side hustles break down the routines and habits they've used to make money on top of their full-time jobs. Got a story to tell? Let us know! Email us atAskMakeIt@cnbc.com.

The idea behind Morgan Eckroth's social media business is simple: Create the "warmness and comfort of a coffee shop" online.

She's pulling it off, if her six million TikTok followers are any indication.

Eckroth launched her account, MorganDrinksCoffee, as an experiment to hone her social media marketing skills in June 2019. She never intended to make a living from it but now, her videos recreating orders and reenacting coffee shops earn her up to $9,000 per month, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.

The 24-year-old's side hustle involves posting on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Her revenue comes from ads, branding deals and merchandise sales. It only takes her about eight hours per week, and it's far more lucrative than her other time-consuming jobs, she says.

Eckroth is also a competitive barista and marketing strategist for coffee brand Onyx Labs, where she makes $45,000 per year. Last year, her total income was $141,000. But turning what you love into work can be dangerous.

"I've had to put boundaries in place so I don't burn out," she says.

Here, Eckroth details how she built her six-figure side hustle, what those boundaries look like and what you should know before trying to make money on social media.

CNBC Make It: How did you learn how to create content that would attract an audience of more than six million followers?

Eckroth: My high school experience was very shaped by being on Tumblr, so I've always been pretty aware of the social landscape and things that trend online.

While I was getting my degree [at Oregon State University], I always knew I wanted to go into media marketing and digital advertising. I started making TikToks as practice, and it was a very natural progression.

My content on TikTok and Instagram is short-form, vertically oriented sketches focusing on barista life like how baristas really react when they say, "Enjoy your drink," and you respond, "You, too!"

I started my YouTube channel for my capstone project in February 2020, and it gradually gained traction. My YouTube has always been geared toward [videos about] skill building and the actual technique of making coffee.

How does having a successful social media business affect the way you consume social media?

I try my best not to consume my own content or other coffee content online. Otherwise, social media starts to feel like work all the time. That was a small shift that made a really big difference.

There are times, like days when I'm filming, when I need to scroll through platforms to be analytical, research and find inspiration. Those timeframes are strict now. I don't drag filming into the evening when I'm not brewing coffee.

Eckroth, a decorated competitive barista, won the 2022 U.S. Barista Championships and was the runner-up in 2023.

CNBC Make It

I do track numbers and pay attention, but I think I do it a lot less than other [content creators]. I only create content that feels authentic to me and what I think will connect to other people in the service and hospitality industry in hopes that people will follow along with it.

I've also had to carve out hobbies for myself that are not monetizable. When I'm not doing my multitude of jobs, I'm usually in vintage bookstores, looking for science fiction and fantasy books.

I enjoy creative writing, too. And I have tons of ongoing writing projects that aren't anywhere on the internet. Those are just for me.

What should people know if they want to start their own social media side hustles?

Social media [as a side hustle] is cool because there's a pretty low barrier to entry. But I do hesitate to say anyone can do it or rather, that anyone should do it.

It's very easy to lose yourself, your voice, if you're just online and posting what everyone else is. I think you need to have a thesis for why you're making content. It's great if that's "I want to sell more of my product." For me, I want to translate the coffee experience online.

Having that written out for yourself is really helpful, because then you can align every video against that thesis. I always ask myself, "Am I accomplishing what I set out to on here?"

That's kind of like a boundary, too. Put those boundaries in place as soon as you can, so you don't create something that will drag you down into burnout.
