1. How TikTokers Earn
TikTok creators earn income through:
- Creator Fund: TikTok pays based on views and engagement.
- Sponsored Content: Brands pay for promotions.
- Merchandise Sales: Selling branded products.
- Live Gifts: Fans send virtual gifts, converted into cash.
For this lesson, we’ll focus on Creator Fund earnings.
2. The Earnings Formula
TikTok pays an average of $0.02 to $0.04 per 1,000 views. Let’s use this formula to calculate earnings:
\[
\text{Earnings} = \text{(Total Views} \div 1,000) \times \text{Rate Per 1,000 Views}
\]
Where:
Total Views = Video views in a given period.
-Rate Per 1,000 Views = Payment rate, typically $0.02–$0.04.
3. Example Calculation\
Imagine your video gets 2,000,000 views.
TikTok pays $0.03 per 1,000 views.
What are your earnings?
Step 1:Total views divided by 1,000:
\[
2,000,000 \div 1,000 = 2,000
\]
Step 2: Multiply by the rate:
\[
2,000 \times 0.03 = 60
\]
You earn $60 from the Creator Fund!
