TikTok monetization ideas
🎯 Core Ways to Monetize TikTok (2025)
1. Affiliate Marketing (Direct Links or Funnel)
Promote affiliate products (like Wealthy Affiliate) through storytelling, tutorials, or mini case studies.
Use tools like Linktree, Stan Store, or Beacons to house your links in bio.
🎥 “How I made my first $50 from home – no tech skills!” → Link in bio
2. TikTok Creator Fund / Creativity Program
TikTok pays you for your video views if you meet eligibility.
Requirements: 10K followers, 100K+ views in 30 days, and age 18+
Not super high-paying but good for passive income from viral videos.
3. Sell Your Own Digital Products
Promote:
E-booksCourses (ex: “WA Beginner Blueprint”)
Printables, templates, planners Checklists (ex: “Start an Online Business Checklist”)
🎥 “I built this WA checklist after starting from scratch—download it free in bio.”
4. Promote Coaching or Strategy Calls
Offer:
Blog setup sessions
Affiliate roadmap consults“Pick My Brain” calls
Christian entrepreneur coaching
5. Live Gifting / TikTok Live
Go live and receive virtual gifts (convertible into money) from viewers.
Teach a live lesson, review your WA dashboard, or share a weekly faith+biz update.
6. Brand Sponsorships
Partner with brands in your niche (tools, courses, even WA-related ones).
Start by tagging relevant brands and pitching to micro-sponsorship programs.
7. Drive Traffic to YouTube or Blog
Repurpose TikTok videos into full YouTube videos or blog content.
Funnel traffic to monetized platforms where you promote WA or your other offers.
8. Use a Paid Community or Subscription Model
Invite TikTok followers to:
Join your Facebook Group or WA teamSubscribe to exclusive content (via Patreon, Ko-fi, Substack)
9. Sell Merch (Print-on-Demand)
Create faith-inspired, business-themed, or motivational merch. Example: “Faith Over Fear” shirts, or “Affiliate Mom” mugs.
10. Promote a Challenge or Series
Host a 7-day challenge like:
“Build Your First Affiliate Site in 7 Days”“Faith & Finance Challenge”
Use daily TikToks to drive engagement, then monetize with WA or upsells.

this is good knowledge paul I have been a member of TikTok for a long time,even become an affiliate on TikTok, but I still don't understand how to create content which is often watched by TikTok users, even i just got 2 product affiliate orders on tiktok 3 days ago, it was fun for me.
Well done, Randy. Congratulation on those sale. This is your milestone. It start small. 1 sale, 2, 3.... it can reach 100 and even thousands sale. It starts small. Keep it growing and make it better for next bigger and better sales.
Paul.
Hey Paul! Thanks for the post! I've been teaching Math and Further Math on TikTok for some time now and the channel is growing by the day.
Now, I only need to get the required number of followers to start monetizing my videos.
Israel
Well done, Israel. That's the way to go. I'm still dragging behind. I hope you will get the required number very soon to start monetizing your video.
Paul.
Thanks so much for your word of encouragement and hope, Paul! Will run some promotion soon to get that number. Can't wait to start earning from my Math videos.
Israel
You're welcome, Israel.
I used to teach Maths in high school 12 years ago. It would be interesting to watch some of your tutorial videos to get some inspirations.
Paul.
Good to know you were a Maths teacher, Paul! I'll share my TikTok profile link with you via PM.
Thanks again!
Thank you, Israel. Maths was one of my favourite subjects from my Primary to Higher Education. That's how I ended up choosing Maths to teach when I did my BEd. I'm looking forward to see how you are doing the tutorials.
Paul.
Interesting, Israel.
Nice meeting you here too.
I look forward to getting to know and learn what you're doing.
Paul.
Amazing article, thank you very much for sharing it with us, your advice is very valuable. I would love to implement it. I will look into it further. Very interesting, thank you.

Had a Tiktok profile for a while, but wasn't popsting. Last week I posted a 6 second clip that got over 28k views and still counting. I haven't made any money over there, but I can see potential for the things that do make me money online.
That's interesting, Bo! I'm living in a country where TikTok is banned and I can't access my account anymore.
It sounds like YouTube shorts. Grab this opportunity, Bo. It might turn into something extraordinary into the future.
Regards.
Paul.
Yeah, I keep hearing we are gonna lose it again, but I don't think we will here in the United States. Too many people are making a lot of money. My guess is that there are a lot of inlfuencers that have the current administration's ear and something will be done to continue the service in the US. I have a nephew that would greatly miss his followers
Hardworking citizens will only become the victims of the decisions make by the government of the day.
Hope nothing will happen to TikTokers in the US.
Paul.
