2 years ago

The beauty of TikTok is that anyone can get involved and get their content seen by potentially millions of people. But often it can be hard to turn what starts out as just a bit of fun, into a cold, hard cash generator. Well, luckily there are several ways you can do just that. This is how to make money from TikTok.

How to make money from TikTok

1. First of all you’re going to need to post regularly and develop an audience

Before you even think about monetising your TikTok, you’re going to need to develop a good basis of content. Post regularly and develop your niche to keep people coming back.

2. Don’t neglect your engagement

To keep your audience engaged, it’s vital you actually… engage with them. This mean’s responding to comments, producing content that your followers request, and doing regular live streams. This will help nurture your following and provide a sturdy basis from which you could make money.

3. Use other platforms to promote your content

Your TikTok page is more likely to be found and engaged with if you promote it on other platforms like Instagram, YouTube or Twitter.

4. Join the TikTok Creator Fund

Once you’ve developed a well-liked page, now you can start thinking about using it to make money.

TikTok rewards popular creators with financial incentives through its Creator Fund. The big caveat is that you have to hit a couple of benchmarks in terms of both followers and views.

You must have a minimum of 10,000 authentic followers and a minimum of 100,000 authentic views in the last month.

If that wasn’t enough, you have to live in U.S., UK, Germany, Italy, France, or Spain and be over 18 years old.

The amount you actually receive could fluctuate depending on a few variables: video views, video engagement, as well as ensuring the videos adhere to the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

5. Partner with brands and create sponsored content

Once you’ve cultivated a strong following, you’ll become attractive to brands that want to use your audience to advertise their products.

Partnering with these brands could involve you producing sponsored content in exchange for money.

6. Generate money from TikTok ads

Start using TikTok for Business as this will help you make money from in-feed video ads, branded hashtags and brand takeovers.

7. Promote songs

TikTok often promote songs and you can help them out by featuring them in your content. In exchange you’ll get paid.

8. Try out TikTok’s Creator Marketplace

TikTok’s Creator Marketplace pairs brands and sponsors with creators. All TikTokers have to do is mention brands or products within their content, to receive a fee.

To be eligible for Creator Marketplace you do, however, have to have a minimum of 100,000 followers.
