Tiktok entered our lives 6 years back in around 2016, and ever since then, it has become the talk of the town through its innovative new features such as Tiktok filters, reels, short videos, and much more!

This popular video-sharing social media platform is known for its influential and mostly funny lip-syncing videos. With over 1 billion monthly active users, it has been known that an average user spends around 90 minutes per day on the platform. Well, isn’t it too addictive? I mean, 90 minutes is no doubt a LONG time to spend on an application, but what if you’re getting paid for it? Yes, according to some reports, TikTok pays its users with 1 million views from around $80 to $200. Well, that’s massive for just VIEWS!

Views have never been a problem. If you have talent, creativity, and passion for making videos and coming up with something new, there’s no doubt you’re the next TikTok star getting paid for posting your content. I mean, do you remember the famous Dalgona coffee that got famous on Tiktok during the early Covid Pandemic times? Yes, during the past depressing and traumatizing Covid days, people needed a platform to escape from reality and have something that could simply make them smile and keep them busy.

Luckily, Tiktok proved to be that shield, and people who followed this trend got so many views that they ended up earning in the times of Covid when everyone around the world was unemployed. How amazing is that?

Are you also one of those who want to get paid for your insanely creative content? Do you want to know how much Tiktok pays you for 1 million views? Don’t worry; this article has you covered. Earn some cash from Tiktok which is, although a relatively new player but has already overtaken internet giants like Google and Facebook to become the most popular website in 2021. Let’s dive in!

TikTok Pays You for 1 Million Views!

Over the past year, TikTok has grown as one of the most popular social media platforms, and this trend doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. With its trending and creative videos, it’s no wonder that people are flocking to the app.

Collaboration & Sponsors

Now, the best part is that for every 1,000 views, TikTok gives their insanely talented content creators around $0.02 to $0.04. This means you’ll get roughly $15 for 500,000 views and $40-$50 for 1 million views.

However, this can be very less to some people if they are aware of the fact that YouTube pays their users around $2,000 and $4,000 for a million views.

Well, don't worry! what you can do is monetize your videos on TikTok by using affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is basically putting affiliate links in your bio or striking up partnerships with companies to promote their goods.

For instance, companies like L'Oreal, Nike, and Princess Polly pay influencers to advertise their goods. This is how Charli D’Amelio became the highest-paid TikToker in 2021. I mean, it’s not so hard; after all, you just have to review a product that you’ll be getting for absolutely free!

In fact, you can also get paid by selling your OWN goods and services on TikTok. I mean, what’s the harm in selling your used clothes or, say, online courses? If you really have something of value to offer, sell and earn!

Live Streams

If this doesn’t make sense to you, then let me tell you that TikTok also pays its users for live streams.

Do you know what the best part is? You can make up to $2,000 and $4,000 just like your YouTuber friends!

However, to go live, you need at least 1000 plus followers, and also you must be older than 16 to activate the live feature. Oops!

As difficult as it may sound, this is one of the easiest ways to earn cash from TikTok.  Basically, when you start your live video, your viewers can give you gifts like coins which you can later swap through PayPal.

Also, you have the option to purchase up to 10,000 coins on TikTok. Simply pay $1.39 for every 100 coins you buy, and then give them to your favorite TikTok. How cool!

So what are you waiting for? Get your fashion or cooking games on and bring out your inner talents to start a live video ASAP.

You can even go live and talk about what’s trending. Without a doubt, one of the best ways to showcase your personality and differentiate it from the competition is through TikTok trends. Ultimately, these new trends can help you increase your TikTok followers and, ultimately, earnings to a great extent!

Content Creator Fund

Do you know that there was a fund TikTok launched in 2020 just for their content creators? This fund, which had around $200 million initial budget, was created to reward creators for their insanely talented videos and overall content.

However, again, in order to get payments from this fund, you must have at least 10,000 followers and 10,000 views on your posts within the last 30 days. Also, as mentioned above, you must be at least 18 years old.

However, if you’re lucky, TikTok will start paying you for your videos on every 1,000 views. What this means is that you NEED to have more views to make a good Tiktok salary. Woah!

How To Even Get 1 Million Views?

To have money, you need to have views. And to have views, you need followers.

Well, one of the easiest ways of having 1000 followers on TikTok would be first to have a profile that appeals to your viewers’ interests. People are more inclined to follow you if you get more likes and comments on your posts. Trust me when I say that a good camera, decent lighting, and a high-quality profile photo are all it takes!

Moreover, if you want your bank accounts filled by TikTok, make sure you post at the ideal time (when your target audience is most likely to be online). Now, how can you decide exactly when is the best time to upload on Tiktok so you can attract a large audience and make the most of your content?

I mean, no wonder your primary focus should be creating engaging content for your target audience, but you also need to know when to post it online to increase the likelihood that people will see it when they are actively using the social media platform of your choosing. For example, on a Monday, there is a rush on TikTok at 6 AM, 10 AM, and 10 PM. 6 am because EVERYONE wakes up early on Monday, and the first thing they do while they are on their way to the schools and offices is check their social media. 10 am because perhaps it's the break time, and 10 pm because, come on, it’s time you finally go to bed!

You can also attract people with a catchy description and by even using hashtags! Basically, a good description will encourage people to engage with you (by liking, commenting, and sharing) and ultimately follow you. It has to be a call to action where you provide people with a statement they can’t ignore. It should be so compelling that they really think they NEED to follow you.

Similarly, creators use hashtags to make it easier for people to find their content on social media. They can help you pop up on the accounts of a large group of audience. So what are you waiting for? Find the most appropriate hashtags that fit the style of content on your TikToks and add them ASAP!

Key Takeaways!

Remember that TikTok is not some kind of a get-rich-quick scheme. I mean, no one can make millions of dollars overnight neither can they achieve the 1 million view mark. However, if you’re ready to put in the time and effort and produce high-quality material, this can come true!

So start focusing on your profiles. We know that there are a lot of factors that affect the growth of your TikTok profiles. But from posting a video every day to making sure to take part in trends (using trending sounds and including 2 to 4 hashtags), your video is bound to go viral!

Forget about $200; you can even get $2000 by following the tips above. Hopefully, this article answers all your questions. Happy reading!
