HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON TIKTOK

By Rachel Pedersen

Are you looking for how to make money on TikTok? If so this blog post is perfect for you. This post will go over the different ways that people are making money on TikTok and how they’ve been successful with it. I have also listed some of my personal favorite tips and tricks that I’ve found along the way in case you need a little inspiration.

Some of these methods may not work for everyone (and not all of these TikTok monetization methods are available everywhere) but, it never hurts to try new things- especially if it can lead to financial gain and serve more people! 

I hope this blog post helps answer any questions or curiosities about how to make money on TikTok and inspire others who want to do so as well!

Here are 10 ways that you can make money on TikTok (how to monetize on TikTok):

  1. TikTok Creator Fund – most people get approved after 10,000 followers.
  2. TikTok Marketplace – after you hit 100k+ followers and get approved, you may get approached by deals.
  3. Sponsorship deals
  4. Using your TikTok for selling your passive products
  5. Using your TikTok to generate leads for services.
  6. Using your TikTok following to generate speaking/writing deals.
  7. Affiliate income from the products you advertise.
  8. Using your TikTok to advertise your own physical products or merch.
  9. Using your TikTok to generate leads for coaching/consulting.
  10. Selling courses/programs.

1. TikTok Creator Fund – most people get approved after 10,000 followers. 

The TikTok Creator Fund is now LIVE in the UK, Germany, Italy, France and Spain, and here is how to apply!

The application process takes just a few minutes and if qualified with enough followers or video views then you will most likely get approved quickly- so what are waiting for? Apply today while it’s still live in these countries.

2.TikTok Marketplace – after you hit 100k+ followers and get approved, you may get approached by deals.

TikTok Marketplace is a famed spot for influencers to get deals. With the rise of popularity in this social media platform, it has become increasingly difficult for people without an established fan base to find success on TikTok. The marketplace offers those with 100k+ followers and after getting approved access exclusive opportunities that make use of their fame status through discounts, giveaways or free products from brands they are partnered with so other users can buy them too!

3. Sponsorship deals (they may contact you other places, most of the time, you’ll need to do outreach for deals, or find an agent).

Sponsorship deals are a great way to earn some extra cash. If you’re good at promoting yourself, they may contact you for other business opportunities; however, if that’s not your thing or just isn’t in the cards right now then I would recommend finding an agent who has connections with sponsors and can help negotiate on your behalf (though this is still something which requires managing).

Tips for TikTok Growth:

  • Create a unique username that is memorable and easy to pronounce. This will help others find your account amidst the millions of other accounts on this platform. Include some keywords in it such as “pizza enthusiast” or “ice skating.”
  • Make sure you include these words somewhere, like at the beginning of your bio so people know what they’re getting into when following you! 
  • Upload regular content. Posting nearly daily gives followers something new to watch every time they check their feed.

4.Using your TikTok for selling your passive products

Have you considered using the app TikTok to sell your passive products? It’s really easy and there are plenty of people who will watch videos as they show up on the For You Page.

Examples of passive products:

  • Templates
  • Worksheets
  • Guides
  • Ebooks
  • Masterclasses

5.Using your TikTok to generate leads for services.

6. How to make money on TikTok using your following to generate speaking/writing deals.

My TikTok following has helped you land a few speaking and even a book deal! By building a raving following on TikTok, your sellability as a speaker and/or author increases tremendously. 

When it comes to your followers on TikTok (a video-sharing app), these are usually young people who love sharing snippets from their lives via clips or short videos up for voting by other users and liking/rating them with hearts – so when you use this audience as an avenue into things like companies’ marketing campaigns…you’re already ahead!

TikTok tips for growth and monetization: 

  • Huge following does not equal big money.
  • Viral videos is not the only indicator of success.
  • Small accounts with low engagement can also generate tons of leads.
  • Famous does not equal rich.

7. Affiliate income from the products you advertise.

Affiliate income is a great way to earn money from home. You can make an ongoing residual monthly commission by simply making some advertisements on your site or blog and getting people to buy products you’re advertising for other companies!

You are able to get cash back from the products you sell. You can be eligible for an affiliate marketing program and earn commissions on every sale that is made through your online store or social media page, just by posting links to these items like a product review video of them in action while wearing some clothes they might happen to have been featured in!

8.Using your TikTok to advertise your own physical products or merch.

TikTok advertises more than just your social media posts, it also can advertise physical items. If you’re an artist or have merch to sell then Tiktok is the perfect place for you! It’s a great way to connect with fans and followers in one easy step by having them follow both of your accounts at once. Lastly, make sure that when loading these videos on TikTok there are tags and/or links associated so people who visit the app will be able to find out about what product they should purchase from their favorite creators!

9.Using your TikTok to generate leads for coaching/consulting.

So you’re looking for a way to generate leads? Well, look no further! TikTok is here to give your business the boost it needs. You’ll be able to use this app in order to reach an audience of millions – TikTok has over 800 million monthly active users with billions of video views per day!

This means that every time they post content on their profiles and stories, there are thousands more people seeing what’s going on inside of your company as well as outside interests too. So get ready because if this sounds like something right up your alley – you’re going to want to start TikToks.

Offer an application or way to sign up for more info about your coaching/consulting in the link in your bio on TikTok!

10.Selling courses/programs.

Did you know that TikTok is the latest social media craze? Well, here’s what we have to say about it: if you’re looking for a great way to generate interest in your Selling courses/programs, TikTok is a great way to go about it.

Start with evergreen educational content and then lead people to a freebie or training where you offer your courses/programs!

“No one is coming to save you.” This can be extr “No one is coming to save you.” 

This can be extremely triggering for those of us who experienced that feeling in childhood. 

When the system failed us... 

When police showed up with bad intentions. 
When CPS never showed.
When people you begged to help betrayed you. 

“No one is coming to save you” can feel like a death sentence... One child trauma survivors know all too well. 

It feels a lot like life promised us one thing and SWITCHED UP. “You’re on your own kid.” 

^^^^ If that resonates with you, hear me now, please.

There is a stirring happening. 

A future of giants and titans who have saved themselves. They heard that line and got to work. 

If any tiny portion of you has felt a desire to change the systems of government, leadership, service, religion, community, let that be a call to rise. 

When I say “No one’s coming to save you” please hear this 👇

“No one is coming to save you - this is the generational cycle we can break by being brave. We can be the first generation to save ourselves and lay the map for the next generations. Give them a hand up. It’s time to step up and be the leader you needed. It’s not fair and it will continue to not be fair until many leaders say ‘the buck stops with me’.” 

❤️

With that, I will be unavailable for the next 48 hours as I need sleep and rest. 

I’m so behind on comments and texts and responses. I’ll catch up soon 🙏

But we’ve got work to do, and we’ve all got to take care of ourselves before we can help others.
I will remember this week for the rest of my life. I will remember this week for the rest of my life. On so many new levels 🥺

So many things have been changing in my life… and in me. It’s been gentle like a supernova. Old things made new. 

@mrdavegonzalez THANK YOU for being the architect of connections for so many people in many industries!! 

The rooms I spoke to were so vulnerable, authentic, kind, generous, and SAFE. Just wow… 

The types of people that inspire anyone to greatness. Really incredible people doing good things in this world!! 

I did new things this week that I’ve never done before in this way… 

My wise therapist once said “you should standup comedy, you make me laugh.” 

It’s always been one of my biggest fears!! 

But I made a commitment to take good advice from wise people. 

So I did a standup routine for the first part of a talk. It felt so new and free. 

And it didn’t totally bomb 😂😂😂😂

And something happened for the first time in my life. I think the best way to explain it is… 

Some call it channeling or embodying. 
Some call it prophesying or being a mouthpiece. 

All I know is truth and wisdom came out of my mouth in a way I’ve never done in business before. 

If I met you at either event this past week - thank you for being YOU. 

As my life changes before my eyes (good changes - growth and opportunity), I have to say, it’s a constant reminder of how fortunate and favored I have been throughout my journey as an internet marketer. 

Love you all ❤️
“No one is coming to save me…” This picture was t “No one is coming to save me…”

This picture was taken right as that truth hit me like a 2x4. It stung.

We were rebuilding my business after 2022 and I was full of hope. I’d learned a lot and was ready to build right.

But the hits didn’t stop…

Surprise tax bill we weren’t prepared for…

Court case where I was intensely cross examined…

Kids with dreams, activities, uniforms, fees…

Then my dad died suddenly before I could ask important questions.

He hadn’t planned for a funeral - so we stepped up. $25k for his end of life. Our “rebuild” safety net, depleted.

Then I broke my hand racing and couldn’t type fast. How was I supposed to catch up?!

We still had full payroll and family on our team. If I didn’t work, nothing moved. I had to generate $80k a month to keep the lights on. With a dead dad and a broken hand.

So I worked through mourning.

And yet I was still angry at my parents - a dark, growing sliver of my heart embittered.

I couldn’t breathe - panic attacks hit daily. “Is this how being an adult goes? Is this the rest of my life?”

Looking around at leaders of industries, begging for a way free… only to realize the truth was obvious.

They too were on a conveyor belt of “keep the lights on” and “do more.”

WHERE WAS THE FREEDOM ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROMISED ME?

Entrepreneurship is incredible - I love business and marketing.

But we missed things along the way (like building security, becoming your own safety net - not just making more money to fix each crisis).

No one is coming to save me… or you. People don’t hand out parachutes for emergencies.

Depressing but I can handle truth. I prefer it.

So I did the internal work. Saving yourself is a long haul and I needed to be ready.

I forgave my parents (and today I’m so grateful for the relationships I have with my family and mom).

And I stopped believing entrepreneurship alone was enough. We need real battle plans for real life.

I found a way to build forever-security from a mentor I’d trade lives with. I’d love to share it once I’m off the belt fully.

Because…

No one is coming to save us - it feels unfair.

Yet it’s the truth.

Before you save the world, save you and yours ❤️
I wish I had seen bodies like mine when I was a yo I wish I had seen bodies like mine when I was a young mother. So I’m sharing it now!!!!!

Absolutely obsessed. And my book Unfiltered is a USA-Today best-selling book - thanks to all of youuuuuu 🫶

$60 in the account. I had to choose between cupc $60 in the account. 

I had to choose between cupcakes for my kid’s birthday and food for the family.

That was the number I looked at a few years ago. AFTER I had achieved success.

I had made millions before that low moment... 

And was sitting there staring at a balance that didn’t work.

But honestly that wasn’t even the worst part.

The worst part was waking up and not recognizing my own life.

Bitter at the business.

Hollow in the relationships.

Even the thought of a regular job felt soul-sucking.

I just kept thinking… I need to change something.
(Anything. Please.)

And then I remembered.

I had forgotten the most important thing.

I was allowed to make a new choice.

You know that feeling? When your life looks nothing like what you thought it would, and somehow you’ve convinced yourself you’re stuck with it?

That was me. On the floor of my life, sobbing. 

Until I remembered I could become my own role model. The person I admired was able to be BUILT.

I had built it before. I just had to go back and pick up what I learned on the way up… and bring it with me on the way back.

People like us, we build things. We rebuild things.

Here are the things I focused on:

✨ Faith and imagination and delusion are closer relatives than you think (in business vision).
You need both to see something new where the old thing broke.

✨ You’re allowed to change your mind.
Try new things. Pick a new direction for a project.

✨ Take ownership for the things that aren’t your fault.
Especially those. That’s where your power lives. I’m not talking about childhood trauma... I’m talking about who you choose to be after it. 

✨ Lean on your creative imagination. It’s been waiting for you.
Work like hell on yourself. Not on the optics. On YOU.

✨ And do not have a single minute unaccounted for. I had become irresponsible with my time. I was calling self-pity “healing.”
When you’re stuck… serve. Help one person today before you close the laptop.

They will tell you it’s too late...
That THIS is just who you are now.

They are entirely, completely wrong (if you decide so).

You don’t need to burn down your life. 

You just forgot you’re allowed to build one you like.
:]
