TikTok mainly monetizes through ads and sponsored marketing (if done through partnerships or alliances).However, TikTok users can only earn by receiving sponsorship opportunities from any brand. This is only possible if you have millions of followers. Followers are the absolute basis for even being eligible for sponsorship.
Then comes the level of sponsorship. This entirely depends on how good your engagement rates are on TikTok. Engagement rates depend on how many comments/likes your videos have and how much popularity you’ve achieved.
