3. Make money on TikTok with Lives

This is one of the main ways to make money on TikTok, where hundreds, thousands of people spend hours of their day looking for gifts that are worth money. In this sense, these gifts are sent during the lives, through the people who watch.

There is also a battle mode with other users through the same live stream, where whoever has the most engaged audience with gifts wins.

6. Video Gifts

Another good option for making money with TikTok is receiving gifts in videos, similar to receiving gifts in lives. Furthermore, to be able to receive and count on this functionality, you must have at least 100 thousand followers.
