Finds to Save & Make Money

Making Money on TikTok: Canadian Edition

Canadian TikTokers have different money-making opportunities compared to those in the US, and it’s not always clear how they can earn on the platform. This post aims to clear up any confusion and provide insights on how Canadians can make money on TikTok.

TikTok Creator Marketplace:

There are rumors that a content creator fund exists for Canadians on TikTok, but as of June 2024, this is not true. People are confusing the creator fund with the TikTok Creator Marketplace.

The TikTok Creator Marketplace (TCM) is a place where brands and TikTok influencers can connect and work together on ads and promotions. To join TCM in Canada, you usually need at least 50,000 followers. Once you meet the requirements, you can apply to TCM, where brands can find you based on your location, number of followers, and interests.

There’s a trending tag called #canadiancreatorfund where Canadians are adding this tag to their videos to help each other gain followers, hoping to qualify for a content creator fund. Unfortunately, this fund doesn’t exist. However, you can use this tag to gain more followers to reach the 50,000 needed for the TikTok Creator Marketplace (TCM) program.

Affiliate Marketing:

Affiliate marketing involves promoting products and services using special links. You earn money every time someone buys something through your unique link.

You can start affiliate marketing online with zero followers (See my post on the best affiliate marketing platforms for beginners here). But, to put a clickable link in your TikTok bio, you need either 1,000 followers or proof of a registered business. Having a clickable link is important because it helps your followers easily access your unique link for a successful transaction. Click here to sign up for Beacons.ai’s free link-in-bio service. Besides that, you just need to find the right affiliate program, create good quality content, post, and interact with your viewers regularly.

Merchandise Sales:

Got products to sell? Put them on TikTok! Use popular sounds, do cool dances wearing your items, show how you pack orders, and even make videos of you making your products. Sell your own stuff like clothes, accessories, or digital products directly to your fans.

TikTok Music Distribution Program:

Are you a talented musician? TikTok is an excellent tool to use to get your music out there. TikTok has a Music Distribution program for artists. This means you can put your music right on TikTok. When people use your music in their videos, you can make money from how many times it’s played or watched. You don’t need a specific number of followers to join TikTok’s Music Distribution program. But having more followers can help more people find and use your music in their videos, which means you might earn more money from royalties. So, try to grow your fan base by sharing great content and engaging with your audience.

TikTok Live Gifts:

With TikTok’s live streaming feature, once you hit 1000 followers, you can go live to connect with your audience. You can chat, play games, dance, or show your talents. Viewers can send virtual gifts, which you can turn into real money.

Crowdfunding: 

Boost your online presence and make meaningful connections. Use platforms like Patreon, Ko-fi, or Buy Me a Coffee. These websites allow you to receive support from your followers who appreciate your content. You can offer exclusive perks or rewards to your supporters as a way of thanking them for their generosity.

Cross-Promotion:

Use your TikTok fans to get more followers on platforms where you can make more money, like YouTube, Instagram, or Patreon. Create exciting and fun short videos on TikTok and encourage your viewers to check out your full videos on YouTube.
