Unfortunately, this boils down to – not much. So for most users, TikTok itself will not be paying a ton of money.
Do not despair, though. While it might be tough to make significant amounts of money from TikTok, it is still a viable platform to earn money from your hobby.
While TikTok pays about 2-4 cents per thousand views, YouTube pays about $2-$4 per thousand views. That is nearly 100 times more for the same amount of views.
If you are trying to maximize your income from TikTok, it is important to build a following. One important decision when building a following is whether to go deep or wide.
The core truth is that if people like you and are paying attention to what you are saying, there is a way to monetize it further.
