How to monetize your TikTok account? Make money on advertising or affiliate programs, broadcast live, sell products, earn income on likes and subscriptions, become an expert, etc. Note that there is no official way to monetize a social network, but there are many other options for earning..
What it is
Monetization in TikTok is the process of earning money on your profile thanks to followers and their activity. TikTok does not provide an official affiliate program that would pay money for views. Previously, there was unofficial monetization of TikTok from views for the most popular bloggers, but since the beginning of January 2020, this practice has also been discontinued. Perhaps in the future something will change, users will be able to enable the built-in version of income generation, but for now you have to be content with third-party methods.
Instructions: how to set up and use
Now let's figure out how to enable monetization in TikTok, because for each option this question is individual. Consider the main options..
Video with other people's music
Many singers and musicians pay popular TikTok bloggers to sing along to their songs to promote a track. The amount of payments is influenced by the number of subscribers, likes and other factors. On average, for one video you can get 500-1000 rubles.
Advertising
Another way to monetize your account is to shoot commercials on TikTok, which take place according to a certain scenario or by improvisation. To attract attention, bloggers use special hashtags or phrases, and show a certain product in the video. With more than 1,000 followers, advertisers tend to find you themselves. Otherwise, you can place ads on advertising exchanges. The cost of the video can be different - from 200 rubles to 1000 dollars and more. It all depends on popularity..
Partnership programs
A proven way to monetize your TikTok account is an affiliate program. Let's see how this process takes place. The task of a blogger is to bring a new client to the company. For example, a tiktoker can advertise some perfume and post a link to buy it. For each buyer, certain funds are charged.
The number of affiliate programs is huge, so some posts in the TikTok account can be used for such earnings. To find affiliate programs for monetization, you should use a search engine, various CPA networks (for example, Admitad). Alternatively, you should go to the store / office website and look for affiliate programs there, and then write to the management.
Live broadcasts
If you have 1000 or more subscribers, you can conduct live broadcasts, and there are two ways available here - offering goods / services or using coins. The last method involves the purchase of virtual coins, stickers and their transfer to the blogger. On average, 100 coins are worth $1. For example, Meng Lei made over $167,000 this way.
Services
Do not dismiss the opportunity to monetize your account on your own services. If, in addition to TikTok, you write articles or mount videos, you should advertise yourself. The amount of profit depends on the cost of the work performed and activity.
Sale of goods
The TikTok social network is easy to use to sell goods. This method allows you to monetize your account. It is very popular among hyped users. You can sell prints, information courses, audio books and more.
Income from likes and subscriptions
A popular monetization option that is suitable for novice users who make money on cheat sites. The bottom line is to watch the full video, like and leave a comment. But here you need to be careful, because TikTok rules prohibit account cheating. The amount of earnings on likes can be no more than 100 r / hour, which is far from the best indicator.
Development as an expert
One of the ways to monetize your TikTok account is to provide expert services. This method is suitable for users who can share some knowledge with the audience. Recently, the profiles of lawyers, doctors or psychologists are gaining popularity. The amount of earnings is limited only by your assessment of your work.
Promotion of your brand
The brightest TikTok bloggers promote their own brand. They live in show business, participate in TV projects and simultaneously maintain an account on a social network. This combination allows you to earn up to 30-50 dollars a month. To do this, you can advertise other tiktokers, conduct live broadcasts, promote products, etc.
Other ways
There are other ways to monetize your TikTok account. Let's take a quick look at the additional options:
- accepting donations;
- execution of any requests for payment;
- sale of accounts / finished videos;
- maintaining other people's profiles, etc.
At the same time, you don’t need to figure out how to set up earnings for a long time. In each case, the approaches are individual.
Terms and Conditions
Many are interested in how many subscribers can monetize an account on TikTok. There are no restrictions in this regard. The main thing is to have views and activity from users. It happens that a blogger has millions of subscribers, and only 800-1000 people watch his videos. For an advertiser, this is a bad sign.
It is important to pay special attention to the age of the audience. The social network is positioned as a teenage one, so the content should also affect the interests of users. At the same time, trends do not change quickly, which allows you to stay afloat for a long time.
Note that it will not work to put a working link in your Tik Tik account or under the video in order to monetize your profile. The user will have to copy the address and paste it into the browser. Recently, the social network has been testing a URL with the possibility of a direct transition, which is a big plus for employers.
Cheat on TikTok is prohibited, and this can lead to a ban. So it is better to focus on quality content.
