Online Earning from TikTok: A Beginner’s Guide
TikTok is no longer just a platform for fun videos and viral trends—it has become a powerful tool for creators to earn money online. With its massive global audience and high engagement, TikTok offers several ways for users to turn creativity into income. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced content creator, here are the most popular methods to earn money on TikTok.
1. TikTok Creator Fund
The TikTok Creator Fund pays users based on the number of views and engagement their videos receive. To qualify, you must:
Be at least 18 years old
Have at least 10,000 followers
Have at least 100,000 video views in the past 30 days
Live in a country where the Creator Fund is available
The earnings per view are low, but it can become a steady source of income for creators with consistent content and large followings.
2. Live Gifts and Coins
TikTok allows users to go live and receive virtual gifts from their audience. These gifts are bought with coins (TikTok’s in-app currency) and can be converted into real money. The more engaged your live viewers are, the more likely they are to send gifts.
3. Brand Deals and Sponsorships
Brands often partner with TikTok creators to promote their products or services. Sponsored content can be highly lucrative, especially if you have a niche audience or high engagement. These partnerships are typically arranged through:
Direct contact from brands
Influencer marketing platforms
The TikTok Creator Marketplace
4. Affiliate Marketing
Creators can share product links in their bio or video descriptions. When someone purchases a product through that link, the creator earns a commission. This method works well with product reviews, “TikTok made me buy it” videos, and tutorials.
5. Selling Your Own Products or Services
Many creators use TikTok to promote:
Merchandise (t-shirts, accessories)
Digital products (ebooks, courses)
Personal services (coaching, freelance work)
TikTok’s ability to make content go viral means your products can quickly reach a large audience.
6. TikTok Shop
In some countries, TikTok has launched TikTok Shop, a feature that allows users to sell products directly through the app. Creators can tag products in their videos and earn commissions when followers buy through those links.
7. Cross-Promotion with Other Platforms
TikTok can be used to grow a presence on platforms like YouTube or Instagram, which offer other monetization options such as ads, brand deals, and memberships.
Conclusion
Earning money on TikTok takes time, consistency, and creativity. While the platform offers several built-in tools to monetize your content, combining multiple income streams (like brand deals, affiliate marketing, and live gifts) is often the most effective way to build a sustainable online income.
