Tik Tok wasn’t initially created with the idea of users earning money. It was all about sharing videos and having a good time. But like most hobbies, Tik Tok has also been monetized and you can make some money on the side if you are really creative. It won’t make you rich but can definitely help you augment your income and get returns for investing your time and effort.

Here are some ways in which you can earn through Tik Tok.

Promotion of Brands

This is one of the most sought-after ways of making money through Tik Tok. Once you become popular enough to have a follower base of a few thousand, promoting brands could earn you some money. A large follower base makes you an influencer, which means that marketers will be happy to ink a deal with you. This will involve the promotion of the brand among your regular followers to increase the brand’s web footprint. Brand deals have the potential to help you earn quite a lot of money, if you are a trending influencer on the Tik Tok network.

Also, there has been a lot of concern over non-disclosure of such deals by influencers. So, don’t hide any such tie-up from your followers, especially if you are looking to make progress on social media.

Selling Your Merchandise

Again, only established influencers can use this approach to improve their chances of making money. When you start making viral videos that get shared by people on other social media sites, it truly means that you are all set on to become a famous personality on Tik Tok. Along with the entertaining videos, you can subtly add a line for the promotion of your merchandise and give the link to the site where people can buy the items from. Another way of promoting your official products would be to make dedicated videos on them.

But, remember not to focus too much on selling products once you’ve gained popularity. Keep the quality and freshness quotient of your videos as your priority.

Promotion of Other Ventures

In case you are already an influencer on other social media platforms, such as Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, etc., you can leverage your popularity on Tik Tok to promote your other ventures. Your followers will most probably help increase the number of likes and shares on some of your other work.

This is also a safe strategy in case Tik Tok changes its regulations and you are unable to maintain your popularity status on it.

Live Streaming

Last but not the least important way to make money is via Live.ly. This is the live streaming option in the app, where you can earn through tips from audiences. You just need to put your content and make sure that it is good enough. If people love it, they can tip you to express their appreciation.

All these methods require a lot of patience, hard work and gaining a good follower base before they can be used to the fullest. So, keep posting exciting videos and increase your follower count to make some real cash out of Tik Tok.
