## Summary

This video explores the latest TikTok trend where creators earn significant money by acting as NPC (Non-Player Character) or AI characters during live streams. The host explains how to replicate the trend, shares personal earnings, and provides tips for success.

### Key Points

- **The NPC Trend Explained** [00:16] — Creators act as NPCs or AI characters on TikTok Live, reacting to gifts with pre-planned actions. This trend went viral after Pinky Doll popularized it, leading to millions of views and high earnings.
- **Viral Success Example** [02:39] — The host's son created a video that got 10.2 million views and 879,000 likes, showing that even newcomers can achieve viral success on this trend.
- **Tips for Going Live** [03:35] — Key tips: stay in character, have pre-planned reactions for gifts, use background music, repeat a phrase (e.g., 'tap tap tap'), and ask viewers to tap the heart.
- **Recommended Strategy** [05:17] — Try the trend 3-5 times; if unsuccessful, note that a certain look (anime, colorful, young) is favored. Create a pre-live video to drive traffic to your live.
- **Withdrawal Limits** [08:21] — TikTok imposes daily withdrawal limits (e.g., $100/day). To withdraw larger amounts, you need to go live regularly to increase your limit.
- **Host's Earnings** [10:48] — The host made only $4.57 in 1 hour 15 minutes, attributing it to not having the 'right look.' He advises not quitting your job immediately due to withdrawal limits.
- **Creator Fund Delay** [12:18] — For TikTok Creator Fund earnings, there is a 60-day waiting period before you can withdraw funds.

### Conclusion

The NPC/AI live trend on TikTok offers a fun way to earn money, but success depends on having the right look, staying in character, and understanding TikTok's withdrawal limits. It's a short-lived trend, so act quickly if you want to try it.

you will never miss a video so what did I make  when I tried I was on there for about an hour   and 15 minutes and I made we are on Tick  Tock and we are going to type up AI lives
obviously people are already popping up  let's click on this one right here roses uh thank you for the lifting weights I really  need to do that because I need to lose some weight
Chili's hot talk to your daddy y'all let him talk  to his dad please this is going crazy people are   acting as non-player characters just as if you  were playing PlayStation you know how you get  
ready to select the character but then when you  select them they act out and do something and   so these people are just having fun and they're  collecting money doing it I think July is awesome   I feel so good ice cream is so good so everyone  knows who pinky doll is well she decided one day  
that she was going to go live and when people  sent gifts she was going to be a non-pc or an   AI character and then react out special things  to those gifts that people sent it went viral  
and now everyone is doing it as she mentioned  that now Elon Musk is tweeting about her it's   also been said and seen that Timberland  has even made a beat with her voice in it
now here's another example I want to show  you my son who also went viral and got   a video that has over 10.2 million  views while he's on a current live
attack hot dog yes please for
um I like this I can't I can't I can't now  this is my oldest son the video has almost   a million likes 879 000 likes he creates this  video uh behind actually attempting to go live  
and then it goes viral now I scrolled on  Pinky doll's whole page none of her videos   by themselves have even close to 10 million  the highest one is seven point million so to  
see that he made a video and he went higher  than hers that was actually kind of shocking   now I'm not saying anything in particular or  who's popular I'm just saying that if he can   do it there's still opportunity and room for  you to hop on this trend is what I'm saying  
let's go over a couple of questions you may have  in your mind one of the things you want to do is   talk on your live introduce what you're about  to do even though they may have seen the title   and clicked on it to watch it anyway you want to  make sure that you are staying in character you  
want to make sure that either you are bouncing  or moving or swaying you really don't want to   break character you want to let them cause you  to react by sending the gifts have it already  
in your mind you know what you're going to do for  certain gifts you may want to scroll through all   of the gifts first and have in your head already  the reaction that you were going to do it's also   a good thing to have some background music I've  already tried this I've been there done that  
um and people were saying you know you need some  background music I did my research and guess   what everyone has background music somewhere low  that way it's not just quiet and you're like this
waiting for someone to send a gift you  usually want to have a repeat phrase that   you're saying also whether there's music  in the background or whether you're you   know waiting for a gift you know some  people are saying you know tap tap tap  
tap tap tap or whatever phrase it is that you want  to say welcome to the live welcome to the live   until gifts start coming through a gift comes  through and whether it be a hot dog you know hmm  
hot dog welcome to the live welcome to the live  this is somewhat like a tutorial video should   you say you know what I might want to give that  a try I would recommend trying at least three to  
five times and if you're not successful after  that we do know that there is a certain look   that everyone is going for and it's usually an  anime character um someone dressed up wearing   colorful clothes outfit young is always a plus  we're talking you know maybe not someone my age  
even though there are older people on there you  still uh want to have a certain look they're Tick   Tock the algorithm is pushing a certain style a  certain look so you definitely want to try to see  
if you can you know pull off an outfit you know  do something different maybe watch all of the   lives that are going on right now and put your own  spin to it as mentioned before you want to create   a video before you go live you can create a video  about whatever or create a video about you doing  
the NPC or the AI lives and tell them to check  out your live and the reason why is because that   video has a chance to go on the for you page and  if they find that video on the for you page around  
your profile picture it's going to be highlighted  showing that you're live causing that video to go   viral and you to get more live attention we're  going to go back on Tick Tock right now and see   if we can find anyone who was currently live right  now doing the NPC or AI lives welcome my name is
3 800 people are watching him right now  he has 2.4 million likes on his live I may try this again I had a wig on I was looking  crazy this guy is clearly 38 years old you know  
thank you so much right cool uh he's talking fast  that's his thing he's switching it up now his   hands are just moving why he's black just like me  I got tired bro is sitting down 86 people watching
one of the other things is you want to  ask your people to tap the heart he's   not saying that so while I'm moving like  he is I will be saying tap the hearts tap
see he he's doing but in the middle I'm saying  tap tap tap tap tap tap so they're teaming up  
this is like a gangster NPC AI live like the live see even though whether  someone's doing it or not at least   he's telling them to like the live they're  trying to make this money why is your oh man
I'm not sure what's going on what I do want  to mention one thing you're going to find out   when you're making all of this money you will find  out that everybody has different withdrawal limits   you may say to yourself I just made you know two  hundred dollars four hundred dollars a thousand  
dollars and you know what you go to withdraw it  and then you find out you have a daily withdrawal   limit and maybe you get a notification and so one  of the things is is Tick Tock is telling you in a   couple of days or in a week you know they will  raise your uh daily withdrawal limit but you  
might not be able to grab that all out at the  same time and so although it's quick money you   will have to make sure that you have a a pattern  of going live every other day every day this way   your daily withdrawal limit can be raised  especially if you have things that you want  
to buy right away or if you want to pay certain  bills right away one thing to keep in mind so   if you put all of this energy in today tomorrow  the next day and you say you know what I'm a cash   out after three days and you go and realize you  can because you can only get one hundred dollars  
a day you know now the cool thing is is yes you  did make the money the cool thing is is yes it   is there but keep that in mind this may not last  long we figure probably about you know two months   maybe three months so if you're going to do it  I would recommend starting between now and at  
least next week ride this wave as long as you  can keep it fun keep it wholesome I wouldn't go   on there and make a fool of yourself and try and  to do things that are just out of your character   even though my son did a video and uh he said that  uh attention followers I would like to sincerely  
apologize for events that occurred earlier today  I must admit it was extremely out of my character   and I will look there is money involved
when you realize that you're able to take care  of that bill take care of that bill buy this you   know PC this iMac this camera you know and you're  not really doing anything wrong or unethical it's  
worth having fun it's worth doing it I encourage  you guys to do it have fun you know what I'm   saying keep it clean you know see how much money  you can make you know especially if they're   talking about you know van and Tick Tock and they  keep bringing that up they keep bringing it up  
you know they want to close it down but so much  good stuff is happening on the platform so what   did I make when I tried I was on there for about  an hour and 15 minutes and I made four dollars  
and 57 cents okay so that tells me that I don't  have the look that they were looking for you know   um I was trying it out anyway I was trying  something new um I have a couple of friends  
that said that you know uh or my niece said  she tried and she got tired you know so you   definitely have to have a way to talk to the  audience you have to have you know some type of   skill set you know do your research first you know  um know how you want to come across I wouldn't go  
out and quit your job right away as I mentioned  because you know you may have a daily withdrawal   limit and so that's something that you may want  to look into if you see that you're making all   this money and it's in your bank account do not  put your notice in tomorrow do not go in and  
quit tomorrow because you're probably gonna find  out oh snap I can't take this out until I have a   higher uh withdrawal limit so just be mindful of  that hey guys subscribe to this channel if you   haven't already if you want more insight like  this on trends that are coming up on Tick Tock  
Instagram Facebook and YouTube that way I can  make sure I deliver that to you and also let me   know what other type of videos you may need if  you're watching another thing to keep in mind   is if you haven't already or you're new to The  Tick Tock Creator fund to withdraw your first um  
earnings it's gonna take two months um Tick Tock  says you know 60 days from the time that the funds   were accrued so if you started making money today  and it's day one of the tick tock Creator fund 60  
days is this month goes by and the next month  goes by so if it's January all of January goes   by all of February March 1st that's when you're  withdrawing the money all right so hopefully I  
was able to share enough information on this NPC  AI live Trend that's going on um the different   characters hey so let me know are you going to try  this you know have you already attempted it and  
what happened when you did were you successful  did you give up were you tired is it a total   waste of time and I know some people say you  know what I'm not going to be looking stupid   so hey comment below I would love to know and  until next time I will see you on the next video
