🎯 Core Ways to Monetize TikTok (2025)

🎥 “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.
