How to Make Money from TikTok – 3 Tested Methods Described (For Pakistan Users)

TikTok has rapidly become one of the largest and most powerful social media sites in the globe. With millions of daily users in Pakistan only, it is huge in terms of business for content creators to earn money. Whether you are a dancer, a comedian, beauty vlogger, or someone who has a special talent or message, TikTok provides a platform for you to not only showcase your creativity but to earn from it as well.

There are quite a few methods of earning money on TikTok, but three of the most popular and most useful ones are:

1. Monetizing Your TikTok Account Through Video Uploads
2. Making Money from TikTok Live using Gifts
3. Withdraw Your Earnings from TikTok in Pakistan using PayPal (or other Alternatives)

Let’s go through each of them.

1. Monetizing Your TikTok Account Through Video Uploads

One of the major and long-term means of earning on TikTok is through monetization of your account by uploading quality, consistent content. TikTok has a program named the **Creator Fund** (or, in some regions, it might be referred to as TikTok Creator Rewards Program). But to qualify for this, your account needs to fulfill some conditions.

Requirements to Monetize Your TikTok Account:

To begin making money from your videos, you typically need to fulfill the following requirements:

* You should be **at least 18 years old**.

* Your TikTok account should have **a minimum of 10,000 followers**.

* You should have generated a minimum of **100,000 video views within the past 30 days**.

* Your account should adhere to TikTok’s **terms of service and community guidelines**.

* Having a **Pro Account (Creator or Business Account)** is preferred.

* TikTok monetization is now available in certain nations, but there are workarounds if you reside in Pakistan (detailed below).

Once you qualify, apply directly within the TikTok app (Creator Tools). If your application is approved, TikTok begins paying you from your video’s engagement – views, likes, shares, and watch time.

 **How Much Can You Earn from TikTok Monetization?**

TikTok rewards a few cents to a few dollars for every 1,000 views based on a number of factors:

* Geolocation of the audience

* Engagement rate

* Video duration

* Category or niche

For instance, content creators in the United States could earn between $0.02 and $0.04 for every 1,000 views. In Pakistan, direct payouts from the TikTok Creator Fund might not be applicable, but you can make content for international audiences or collaborate with sponsors and brands.

2. Gaining Profit from TikTok Live via Gifts and Diamonds

Live streaming on TikTok is also a great method to make real money. If you have a **TikTok Live broadcast**, your fans can reward you with **virtual gifts** during the stream. Your fans purchase these gifts using coins, and the coins are purchased using real money. When you get a gift, TikTok transfers it into a thing called **diamonds** in your account. Diamonds can be exchanged into real money later.

 **Steps to Begin Making Money from TikTok Live:**

1. **Enable TikTok Live Feature**:

   * Your account should have **at least 1,000 followers** before you can go live.

   * You should be **at least 18 years old** to be eligible to receive gifts.

2. **Engage Your Audience**:

   * Go live frequently.

   * Engage with your followers.

* Create entertaining or meaningful content that encourages gifting (e.g., Q\&A, singing, gaming, dancing, storytelling, or comedy).

3. **Receive Gifts**:

   * Viewers can send virtual gifts such as roses, lions, or dragons during the live session.

   * Each gift has a coin value, which is converted into diamonds in your account.

4. **Convert Diamonds into Money**:

* After you’ve earned enough diamonds, you can withdraw the amount from TikTok.

* TikTok rewards you with **~\\$0.005 per diamond** (i.e., 2 diamonds = 1 cent or \\$0.01).

* The payout threshold is typically set to **\\$10** or **\\$100**, depending on the platform’s policy.

 **Pro Tip:**

To earn more, live stream when it is most active (evenings and weekends), team up with fellow TikTok creators, or execute challenges and games that foster interaction and gifting.

3. Withdrawal of TikTok Income in Pakistan through PayPal (and Alternatives)

Most Pakistani TikTok creators are curious about getting their income withdrawn since PayPal and similar sites aren’t directly accessible in the country. Fortunately, there are several ways you can withdraw your TikTok earnings.

 **Withdrawing Money from TikTok (from Pakistan):**

1. **Connect PayPal to Your TikTok Account**:

   * If you utilize the Creator Fund or earn money through Live Gifts, TikTok pays out through PayPal.

   * Although PayPal is not officially supported in Pakistan, you can utilize indirect methods:

* Open a PayPal account with the details of a friend or family member from nations such as the UAE, UK, or USA.

* Utilize international virtual banks like Payoneer (for affiliate income or brand deals).

* Utilize internet platforms or intermediaries that provide exchanges to PayPal from JazzCash or EasyPaisa (with caution).

2. **Utilize Payoneer or Wise (Formerly TransferWise)**

* If you’re making money from brands or affiliate marketing on TikTok, you can receive payment through Payoneer or Wise.

* They support international payments and allow you to withdraw them into your local bank account or JazzCash/EasyPaisa (through linked cards).

3. **Withdraw Through Freelance Platforms:**

* Another is to integrate your TikTok content with freelance platforms such as Fiverr or Upwork.

* Provide services such as video promotions, influencer marketing, or content creation.

* Utilize these sites to accept international payments and withdraw to Pakistan conveniently.

 **Bonus Tips to Maximize Your TikTok Income:**

* **Brand Collaborations & Sponsorships:**

* After you develop a large and active audience, brands can reach out to you for sponsored content.

* This is much higher than the TikTok Creator Fund.

* You charge from \\$50 to \\$5,000+ based on your niche and number of followers.

* **Affiliate Marketing**:

  * Promote products or services with affiliate links in your bio.

* Get commissions for every sale made through your referral.
