Yes, Tik Tok can pay you for your videos!
If you’re in the Tik Tok Creator Fund, for creators with at least 10,000 followers and meeting other requirements, you can join Tik Tok’s Creator Fund which pays you based on the views of your videos.
The good news about the Creator Fund is that it’s easy, passive income.
Just create your Tik Tok videos and you earn automatically based on your views. They pay you real money, not rewards or coins or any other virtual currency. You get cash and I deposited the money into my PayPal account.
They pay out once a month.
The bad news is that the payout is very low.
You earn between 2 and 4 cents per 1,000 views, according to this source.
So that means a 1,000,000-viewed video would earn you between $20 and $40.
Imagine finally getting a viral video and having it hit 1 million views, only to earn around $40.
It’s pitiful.
That’s why a lot of Tik Tok creators are turning to other sources of income to monetize their following.
Four ways to monetize your Tik Tok following are:
- Affiliate marketing
- Brand deals (sponsorships)
- Products
- Services
Affiliate marketing income
Affiliate marketing earns you a commission when you refer products that result in a sale. You earn a portion of the sale as your commission at no extra cost to the customer.
Affiliate marketing can be passive income.
Placing affiliate links in your Tik Tok bio can make you money in your sleep when people click your link and buy.
This is one of the most common ways to make money on Tik Tok.
Brand deal income
Partner with brands you support and make money when they pay you to share their products with your audience.
I’ve earned as much as $1,000 for a single Tik Tok video.
