For clarity before giving my opinion, are you asking specifically on how to get TikTok to pay you or are you asking how to monetize yourself, even if it's not specifically on TikTok?

Build a following and find sponsors. If some of your following can transfer to youtube and you make content there as well that would be a way also.

Are you already making content?

THISSS! I make a living off of tik tok and it’s crazy how long internet money really is. I’m so glad u posted this to help others get motivated! Literally my life was changed within a month or 2.

I'm not sure what qualified someone to access Branded Missions, but keep trying to make quality content and real in followers! Even though these opportunities don't require a lot, most do require you to somewhat establish yourself a presence on the app, even if it's a smaller one.

I want to get better and understanding tiktok shop. UT everyone and their mom sells a course and it's hard to know who's legit 😅

I recently started posting regularly after doing it sporadically and accidently going viral. Since the viral video, I’m stuck at 700 views max. I really want to start making money with TikTok. I have an inoperable brain tumor and after 20 rounds of chemotherapy and 6 brain surgeries, the medical bills are insane, and only continue to get bigger. So anything I could make doing this would help so much with that.

Thank you so much for the amount of details you put into this. It’s extremely helpful. I’m saving this post for later.

My account is @mattieroseyo if anyone wants to give me feedback 💛

Of course!

I took a quick look through, and these would be my suggestions!:

• Cut down on the memes/template (if not all together for a bit). Even though tiktok seems to encourage using them, I think they have a much harder time performing well. To me it seems you started posting memes, and now Tiktok is now showing your content to much of anyone because it's considering it as spam.

• The best sort of Tiktoks are the ones with natural light, video style, and VERY expressive. Tiktok also tends to only want to push content where they're more confident it's original content & not copyrighted stuff (stuff you pull from google) A lot of your stuff is meme templates & google images (with your added text) so I think Tiktok is catching this and surpressing most content. A few things did seem to start enough conversation and engagement (amongst your nurse community) so it does seem like that didn't always matter.. but I also see some stuff of photos of you/what you ate in a day/etc that appears to hhave done way better than a lot of the more unoriginal image stuff.

SO after looking at that! I would say post more of the follow:

• More what you ate in a day! Maybe do "What I ate in a day as a nurse working a x hr shift". Def theme any popular trends you do with being a nurse.

• Show more of your face. I knowww this is hard for a lot of people who aren't use to it!! And if you don't feel comfy, I would suggest maybe trying some POV angles then or aesthetic faceless angles showing your hands/uniform/neck down etc or phone covering your face. Anything that helps connect people with that there is a real person behind the tiktoks/content they're seeing!

• More photo slide shows/story times related to being a nurse using your photos! Looking back those seemed to perform well, so I would def start doing more photo style tiktoks using your own original photos (and not the same photo twice).

Soo TLDR!!-- Maybe start by doing daily "What I ate in a day as a nurse!" With a daily mirror selfie in uniform, and then a photo slide show of each thing you ate with a little story time/caption that goes with each photo. Add nurse themes/anything other nurses can relate to.. and I think you might see some performance!!

Thank so much for all this info! I’m currently stuck at around 7k followers 😭 I feel stagnant

You have to have a huge following to really make any money. 10k you can join creator fund if you meet the criteria. But I’ve heard it’s not much unless you get really big or do ads and stuff.

I personally made $1k in a day yesterday - my first day selling. My account was already restricted from posting a link in my bio, so instead, i was commenting my website in the comments and pinning it. Tiktok didn't alert me of it, but after 24 hrs it suppressed that, too - when using my other account, the pinned comment wasnt there.

Even better, the payment portal deactivated me account, too, because the purchase of my ebooks looked like spam.

You can make a shit ton of money on tiktok. They just don't want you to.

TDLR; I am fuming like mad mad mad lol. You can make 6 figures if your product is good but you will be suppressed by every company you meet in the name of "spam/fraud protection"

Yeah you’re not gonna make any money at 2K followers. If you can get up to 20 or 30 K you might make some money partnering with a couple brands depending on what your content is based on. I wouldn’t sign up for the creator fund. It’s a fucking joke. They’ll rip you off and they will suppress your views. YouTube is where the money is.

Tbh ur not going to make any real money at 2k followers, heck I’m on 150k followers and have only earnt £700 in 18 months

You could earn money from lives but u would almost certainly have to show urself

You make money by offering a real service that people want.

Yeah, and use a tool like this to make your first dollars come just a little quicker (like Linktree, just actually money-making to creators)

Delete TikTok and find a real job.

Use TikTok to sell feet pics

Steal content from live streams and claim it as your own. TikTok is trash and people it all the time.

Consistency is key Post regularly about Unique talents or skills you have, engage actively with your followers and use trending hashtags Remember, don't chase the money, chase the passion. The money will follow. Good luck!

Well, decide what your niche is and just make content. I feel like if the content is there, you’ll grow on tiktok. I feel like what I’ve seen work best is the Gary v method. Interact with other similar accounts that you enjoy. Give value and then here and there plug what you want to promote (follow my IG or YouTube). I mean if your only goal is to sell the account then you should target to sell within the niche you created but honestly I wouldn’t sell. If you build something great keep it and expand on it. I know some people have joined the tiktok creator fund but unless you’re kicking out viral videos like Charlie, it would be very small money gains. Going live on tiktok and having your Venmo posted is the easiest way as tiktok takes like 60% I think? I could be wrong but it’s a nice chunk. Basically if you do this and do it right, it’ll be a snowball effect and you’ll check all the boxes. Just focus more on engagement though rather than worrying about follower numbers.

As an artist, when someone makes a video with your song, it’ll count as a stream as well

Join up with a few other accounts in your niche and make a merch website that exploits that niche. if you see any traction, then invite other accounts to come in on the agreement that you take a small % of their merch.

Ideally you own and operate the website 100% but can still make them "partners".

Bumping :)

I am on TikTok for almost 3 years and I earn mostly from brand collaborations and promoting smaller creators. From personal experience, I can say that you definitely need followers and views if you want to earn on TikTok. In the beginning, to grow my account I used services like Marketing Heaven and their TikTok packages to gain credibility. I improved my reach so I could also start earning through affiliate marketing. Now, with 70k followers and about 2 million views per month, I earn over $1k monthly.

there is essentially no risk from being on tiktok. A billion people use it and tens of millions have posted on it.

No one is sitting around waiting for you to post your face so they can do something to you.

On the other hand - tiktok is not supposed to be very good for making money. Youtube remains the best way to actually make money.

Depends on what you do. Digital footprints exist. Don’t act like a fool or a dickhead, and you should be fine.

This is like asking if it's realistic to make money with an MLM or by scalping goods. You might be able to, but you'll probably be hated for it.

you can do it if you want, yes after a while you can monitize your account

There are plenty of Pros and Cons on Tik Tok (professionals and conment). But ultimately it's like any other social media - for every successful person who can make real money there's hordes of people who can't.

Could try selling stuff or make videos over 1 minute you'll get money if people watch over 6 seconds

Brand deals are the only way, basically. Or sell something.
