How to make money on TikTok?

There are two main ways to earn and make money on your TikTok profile.

The usual way is influencer marketing, which means that you promote brands or products in your videos. This means basically having sponsored ad videos that would generate sales for the brand or the product.

The second way to create money on TikTok is to advertise or sell your own products or services in your videos.

Whether you are doing influencer marketing or promoting your own brand, you will need solid traction on your profile. This means that you will need many followers, likes, comments and views before your profile attracts enough engagement for the advertisements to be worth for the brand. Usually you will need at least 100 000 followers and hundreds of comments per each video.

Amount of money differs very much for each profile. You can generate anywhere from 50 000 USD to 150 000 USD per one brand partnership. This of course depends very much from your location, profile niche, target audience, profile engagement, etc.

It usually takes around four to eight months to get solid traction and follower amount. This depends mostly from your content, as some profiles 100 000 followers on already on their first month. Those profiles have created high quality content with very good engagement rates.

If you live in a country with lots of TikTok users, like United States, India, Russia or Turkey, you can become Influencer much faster as your possible audience is much larger. This of course can mean that competition is also bigger.

There is no magic trick to become TikTok Influencer. But don't worry! There are lots of things that can get you ahead of the competition.
