TikTok has several ways to earn: creator reward programs, LIVE gifts, TikTok Shop commissions and brand deals. Each has its own rules, and none of them is available to everyone everywhere.
Check eligibility by program
Programs usually have minimum follower and view requirements, an age requirement, and a list of eligible countries. Open the Creator tools in your app and see which programs are actually shown for your account. If a program is not listed, you cannot earn from it directly.
Understand how each type pays
- Gifts and rewards are often converted into a balance in the app before you can withdraw.
- Shop commissions follow the selling terms of the shop program.
- Brand deals are paid by the brand, outside TikTok, so you agree the payment method and currency yourself.
Look at the withdrawal options
Withdrawal methods vary by country and over time. Look at the payout settings in the app, note the methods and minimums, and plan around them.
Keep your own records
Screenshot your earnings page monthly and keep payout confirmations. They are useful if a payment is delayed and when you file your taxes. See our guide to records to keep for tax time.
