Making money on Tik Tok in 2020

How to make money on Tik Tok , a s with pretty much every Internet-based trend that comes along, has constantly been asked.

The answer is that yes, you certainly can.

While Tik Tok is not built specifically around monetization and providing income streams to creators, the app is very commercial-friendly and it is possible to earn a good living by creatively using the platform. First things first:

What Is Tik Tok? Tik Tok, also known as Douyin in China, is a Chinese-owned social video-sharing app.

Users can shoot, edit, and share 15-second videos jazzed up with filters, music, animation, special effects, users can also collaborate on content while being in different locations and create split-screen “duet” videos.

Like its fellow social media apps like Instagram , Twitter , and Facebook , users can also follow, like, and comment on everything they see. Tik Tok can be used on iOS and Android operating systems.

To put it plain and simple, Tik Tok is here to make social media fun again. With over one billion installs, Tik Tok is becoming a very valuable app.

Tik Tok is one of the fastest-growing social media platforms in the world which presents an alternative version of online sharing.

Tik Tok’s mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. It enables everyone to be a creator, and encourages users to share their passion and creative expression through their videos.”

In doing so, Tik Tok competes with giants like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook that have either the backing of Google or Facebook.

Due to its simplistic user interphase, it’s able to stand out from other apps as anyone can be a content provider

Methods of making money on Tik Tok # Becoming an Influencer on Tik Tok

An influencer is an individual who has an above-average impact on a specific niche process. Influencers are normal people, who are often connected to key roles of media outlets, consumer groups, industry associations or community tribes. Influencers’ role is to add value to their opinions.

For instance, you don’t listen to your musically-tuned-in friend because he has a cool website or because your other friends told you he was great, you listen to him because you found that he has really good taste, and so when he recommends an album or an artist you know it will be good.

He is saving you time and money every time he opens his mouth, and that is why you pay attention to him. Tik Tok-specific influencers might not be huge yet, but they will be and you can work with them to widen your reach on the platform.

Generation Z is typically opposed to anything that looks like a traditional ad. So, working with Tik Tok influencers can really help you make a connection with that generation of users.

If you do have something worthwhile to say, and you have a huge following, then TikTok gives you a very straightforward method of monetizing your video appearances in the app.

All you need to do is recommend products and services that you genuinely do use and think are good; those brands, stores, artists, or whoever will then be very glad to compensate you for your advocacy of their product or service and therefore make money on TikTok.

You need to have a genuinely large and engaged following

#Live Streaming

Another viable method you can use to make money on Tik Tok is Live Streaming. To get started, please make sure you have the latest version of Tik Tok for Android or iOS .

Open the Tik Tok app and log into your account (If you haven’t already). Click on the add button from the bottom of the screen. The icon should be in the form of a plus sign (+). After the video screen opens up, click on the “Live” button which should be aside to your recording button. Now simply add an eye-catching title to your live stream which will let other users know what it is about. adding a title to your live stream. Please avoid using any banned words such as duet, follow, fan, BFF, drama queen, donation, etc. Finally, tap on the “Go Live” button and then you should be able to commence with your live streaming. The Go Live feature in Tik Tok is still in the testing phase and not available to all users. To enjoy this feature, make sure you are using the latest version of the Tik Tok app. Please avoid using any banned words in your live stream title, such as duet, follow, fan, BFF, drama queen, donation, etc. You may need 1000 fans before you can go live on Tik Tok. You can achieve this by grinding hard or using Social Media Automation Software . Live streaming on Tik Tok used to be on Live.ly but it has since moved to Musical.ly. Basically, users tip Tik Tok creators using in-app ‘coins’. The coins are bought via in-app purchases using real cash.

Obviously the tips depend on the quality of the video and the no of followers you have. This can form an income source and can quickly be scaled up depending on the degree of success.

# Promoting and Selling own product

This is probably the most realistic way for most people to make money via TikTok, even without accumulating a huge following and becoming a national-scale influencer.

The idea is to have some other line of business or store, and use Tik Tok as an absolutely free way to promote and sell your products or services, or to promote your existing business

Using influencers as mentioned above can come in handy. Tik Tok-specific influencers might not be huge yet, but they will be and you can work with them to widen your reach on the platform. Generation Z is typically opposed to anything that looks like a traditional ad.

So, working with Tik Tok influencers can really help you make a connection with that generation of users.

Finally, you can, in essence, advertise any business even if it isn’t something that translates well to video. By putting up a video that’s fun, funny, creative, or musically great, you’ll attract attention – and then you can have a few frames at the end pitching your product or service.

# Upload Tik Tok compilation videos on Youtube

One of the hardest ventures in penetrating an already saturated Youtube niche. Being relatively new, Tik Tok compilation videos is offering creators an emerging target niche.

As opposed to long videos, Tik Tok compilation videos offer many different short videos that are more appealing to even audiences with a goldfish attention span. These videos are aggressively gaining traction on Youtube and can offer a reliable income stream.

Going by just the above example, using a conservative CPM of 1.5, the above Youtuber has already made over 40,000 in just over a year. This is just from a single video

Social Media Journalism: The New Wave

Social media has taken the world by storm in the last decade. With the rise of social media giants such as Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Tik Tok, the younger generations are some of the most active online. From the moment we wake up to the last few moments before we sleep, our phones are usually always within reaching distance (Twenge 20). First thing in the morning, we get up and go on our phones to see if anything interesting among our social circle has happened overnight. We are constantly taking in content and information. Social media has become a vital part of our culture that “defines us, our world, and our place in it” (Baran 9). Social media tells us what’s trending and happening in our world. For millennials and Gen Z-ers, social media has become embedded in our daily lives and routine – and that is exactly why I think the new age of journalism belongs with social media.

The unfortunate truth is that print news and magazine journalism is dead. While the older generations may still value print journalism, most millennials and Generation Z-ers have never even picked up or bought an actual newspaper. Not only is print journalism a complete waste of resources such as paper and ink, our generations also do not even have the attention span for it.

The new generations revolve around succinct and efficient ways of life that have no time or patience to sit down and read a forty page or so newspaper to get their information. Social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or Tik Tok have conditioned us to receive information in bite-size pieces. For example, Twitter has a 280 word count limit; Snapchats are usually around 10 seconds or less; Tik Tok videos are at most 60 seconds. So, you can see how print journalism is dead to our generations; we do not even have the attention span for it.

We are the future of America yet we are missing out on a lot of important information and decisions that would directly impact us. Why? Because the majority of our youth either pays no attention to the news or does not take enough time to thoroughly do their research. I, along with many others of my generation, often can not even sit through a five to ten minute read article without getting distracted because of how long and boring it is. If news companies were to create a more active presence on social media platforms that would appeal to younger generations, it would create massive change. For example, younger generation voting turnouts in the past have always been significantly lower than the baby boomer and Gen X turn outs. Had our generations been more informed about what was happening during the presidential elections, maybe the turnout would’ve been drastically different.

While many news platforms are already using social media to an extent, they often do not give you the main points of the news article on the social media page. Instead, they post titles of articles followed by a link to the actual article on their website – this is where they lose many of their readers. I propose that news companies focus more on creating and releasing bite-size paragraph posts that give you the main points. My hope is that they can educate us enough through social media platforms that we build up an adequate foundation of knowledge on current events that we can then take the initiative to do further research ourselves if we wanted to. I am not saying that news companies should only share news through social media, but that they give us enough news through there to get us started. And the best part is, with so many people already on social media, news companies would not even have to advertise very hard to gain followers.

Not only is social media a great way to educate our younger generations, it is also an extremely easy and accessible way to get our information. The average high schooler spends about six or more hours on media per day (Twenge 51). During that time, they will come across loads of news and information on their different social media platforms. Information spreads like wildfire online. If news companies were to post more content on these platforms, they could reach a huge audience of youths without even really trying. In an age of “retweets”, “hashtags”, and “tagging”, it would not take much for important information and news to spread. To relate it to current social issues, the recent protests that have happened in the United States in support for George Floyd and the #BlackLivesMatter movement has been heavily covered on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. The organization of protests and updates on the situation can be found there as well. Many youths who normally don’t watch the news on television are able to get the same information, if not more, from scrolling through social media. Looking at just how much information has been shared during this time is proof alone on how powerful social media can be as a news outlet.

In his article, Robert McChesney claims that in the future, news may be aimed at the affluent population and may even require a subscription (226). However, the right to knowledge is something all people should have. With the internet and social media being a public good (McChesney 226), it would provide equal access to vital information for all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Nowadays, almost everyone has at least one social media account. In 2016, it was reported that “ 59% of 18- to 29-year-olds used Instagram and 56% used Snapchat” (Twenge 57) and I am sure the numbers have only risen in recent years. It was also reported that now people of all different races and classes have access to social media as opposed to before, when it was more predominantly white and higher social class people who had access (Twenge 55). By creating a bigger presence in social media, news companies would be able to reach and inform so many more people who previously were not able to access such information.

To play devil’s advocate, there might be some critics who question the reliability of social media. While this is a completely valid concern, I think this critique could be applied to all sorts of news media outlets. There will always be a question of how reliable a news source is. What I propose is that news outlets create a team within that solely focuses on editing their social media content, to make sure it goes out with the same quality that you would expect from more traditional news outlets such as magazine and newspaper articles. Of course, it will be hard to make sure all the comments and feedback from social media news posts are reliable as well but I think that is the beauty of social media. People are allowed to have their own opinions and thoughts about the news and the comment section allows for them to educate others on various other viewpoints of the same subject.

Social media is an untapped gold mine for journalism. Its ability to spread information, create trends, start movements, and so much more is incomparable. The younger generations are our future and journalism needs to update itself to cater to us in order to succeed in the years to come. Change is inevitable and we can either embrace it or let it take us over.
