Go to your profile, click TikTok Studio, then find the Creator Rewards Program under monetization. If not visible, scroll to find it.

Longer Videos Pay More

Example Earnings

[06:50]
Repetitive Content Strategy

Create repetitive content based on what has already worked. Avoid repeating content that didn't perform well.

[08:08]
Live Stream Rewards

Live streams can be clipped and monetized. Live Rewards include gifts and bonuses from viewers, sometimes paying more than the Creator Rewards bonus.

Organic Content Works Best

Facebook Monetization Strategy

Post 10-100 videos per day, 2-3 minutes long, to monetize on Facebook. The creator earns $0.055 per month from one page.

[13:42]
Editing Tips for TikTok

Cut dead space at the start, add subtitles, use a headline, and add music. Save drafts and publish later.

[15:42]
Description and Hashtags

Use relevant hashtags and a compelling description. Avoid generic viral hashtags.

[17:08]
Account Safety

TikTok can penalize or ban accounts easily. Avoid reposting content from other platforms without original creation.

[18:02]
Indirect Monetization

Use TikTok to drive traffic to other platforms (YouTube, Instagram) for external income. Personal brand and original content are key.

Monetizing TikTok requires meeting eligibility criteria, creating longer videos with high retention, and leveraging multiple income streams like live gifts and subscriptions. Indirect monetization through driving traffic to other platforms can be more valuable than direct platform payments.

[00:01] 18 years old, have at least 10,000 followers, and have at least 100,000 video views in the last 30 days. Nothing more and nothing less TikTok account. You can now monetize a TikTok account in Latin America, but it's very

[00:16] important that you know the following: it doesn't work exactly the same as exactly the same as YouTube. Yes, you can earn money with any other content monetization tool, but be

[00:30] exactly the same way and there are many mistakes that can cause you to lose all monetization or even your TikTok account, as happened to me with this one. account monetization and whether it's available, go to your profile and then

[00:42] click the button that says TikTok Studio. Locate that button; if you can't the TikTok menu. Let's slide down. Normally, the content creator program should appear here in the monetization section , but if it doesn't, you have to

[00:56] scroll here and find the one that says creator rewards program creator rewards. The requirements will appear directly here. Here it's telling me disqualified because that's exactly what I want to explain to you: what not to

[01:09] see something more like this. Meet the Creator Rewards Program. In this case, you have three options. Earn rewards for quality content, and monetize with

[01:22] other top creators. The requirements are being 18 years of age or older, having more than 10,000 followers, and having at least 100,000 video views in the last 30 days. Just a little bit more. TikTok asks us to, but

[01:34] requirements, right? Facebook doesn't even have requirements for monetizing its content. TikTok, good job , good point for you. Now, something very important is that TikTok's policies are completely different from

[01:47] content. And that's exactly what I want you to understand: it doesn't monetize in account if you don't do it right. Now, let's get to the good stuff: how do you monetize the ? Because I have several TikTok accounts where some can make up

[02:01] to $700 and others where you can only make $50. There are others where I only have 150 and well, now my personal one where I'm reaching approximately $40 per month, which is the first month that I'm reaching

[02:14] quickly give you a guide on how to monetize your TikTok account, because it's not many things you can do to really get the most out of this TikTok Studio. Within this option, we're going to go to the

[02:29] rewards program, and I want you to see the following. TikTok will pay you promptly for videos longer than one minute, so as a longer videos. This is really interesting because if you create

[02:42] for YouTube, you can also record it from your cell phone. In other words, you can set up two devices to record and solve that clipping problem, which TikTok doesn't like very much in this case. But all the videos in general always

[02:54] last one minute, if you notice, 1 minute 6, 1 minute 17, 1 minute 23, 1 minute 7, 1 minute 8. All these videos exceed this duration time. actually makes me monetize on Facebook? We know that

[03:09] content monetization is based on interactions, retention, and everything involved in an interaction within that same video. TikTok handles it in a similar way, but with a reward or bonus. And

[03:21] this bonus is based heavily on the length of your video and very much on the number of new people who are discovering you. That's where TikTok really values monetization and can give you a

[03:35] example, this video, which is one of the fastest I have here, that monetizes this statistics, we can quickly see that this video has 146,000 views, 2,485 saves, 786 shares, and 5,700

[03:51] likes. The important thing about this is that the retention time for this content is not very good. If it had been better, it would have generated let's remember that what the

[04:03] on TikTok, to stay watching many more videos, much more content, and that better monetization. But if we look at another retention curve here, we can see that the audience doesn't drop immediately, which helped me a lot to get the video

[04:17] audience maintains their attention within the same content, the better. Now, this part is key. 90% of the people who will always see you on TikTok, 90% are new. Uh, we have this theory that the community

[04:31] important for you to get noticed, but no. Actually, on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook, 80% to 90% of the people who see you are almost always new people. Mind you, I'm talking about 85% of the chaos on Facebook,

[04:45] TikTok, and Instagram pages. I'm not talking about you, marketing expert, who's true. 90% of the people who see me are my followers." I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the 85% of people who are not you.

[04:58] OK? Now, this part is also very important because queries or makes TikTok recommend these profiles or consider them as growing profiles or profiles that are really good for search or

[05:11] discovery. In this case, my content is searched by 4.1%, which people who are really starting to come into this TikTok account. What does this mean? That 4% are people who are actually looking for that topic,

[05:25] could give me an extra bonus or add to the one it's already going to give me. example, has been monetized by me. I mean, I 'm showing you the real results account that there are many people who will tell you that they can make

[05:38] 'm not saying they can't, but the average length of my videos is one minute. I'm going to extend the videos now and I'm going to upload a video later monetizing TikTok with longer [music] videos. Look, this was

[05:52] one of the videos that earned me the most money on November 30th. It was 1 minute 26 seconds long and earned me $31, which is pretty good for making a TikTok video. It says $30 here, the interface said $31 a while ago, but oh well, it's TikTok. The

[06:07] retention is also quite good. It's a curve that isn't plummeting, mean a steep drop, because when the curves down here are literally a triangle, that's very bad. Retention is decreasing normally and I always

[06:20] have good plays, 90% of traffic sources and I have 8.4 4 search queries. That means that 8.4% of the people who watched this video arrived via a search, and that's pretty good for

[06:35] performance data, which we can see here within [music] on TikTok, is that I can see doing quite well in plays and in this way I realize continue talking about. This is vital. On TikTok, as a content creator, if you see

[06:50] repeating it, you 're basically losing a lot of told all TikTok creators to help them grow their accounts and monetize better is to create repetitive content that has already worked for you. Don't

[07:04] create repetitive content of things [music] that don't work. The more that you know people like to comment on, save, and share on TikTok, the more valuable it is. That generates a lot of

[07:17] growth for your TikTok account. Over a year ago, I posted a video showing how my TikTok account was deleted. I had a violation where I was teaching TikTok monetization tips. It seemed like they did

[07:31] n't like that type of content, so I had to start from scratch with that TikTok account and began growing this new one. Today I reached 250,000 followers. For me, this is very, very valuable because having a

[07:43] TikTok account, while it used to be monetized, now it's not, and for me it's a huge source of traffic because from this same account I send a lot of traffic to my YouTube channel, I send a lot of traffic to my Instagram account, to my

[07:55] huge community here that I'm starting to grow. Now, what else really helps you a lot to monetize? Aside from this methodology of repeating topics that work for you, live streams are a very good way to

[08:08] there is a tool where you can clip your live videos and those videos can be monetized. In fact, there is another reward or clipped from a live stream you created,

[08:22] which is quite good and in many cases sometimes even pays more than the creator reward bonus itself. Look, if we go into TikTok Studio here, we'll find the Live Rewards section, and basically here we can open the gift center.

[08:34] ads, offers you lots of things, and all these little gifts and bonuses are given to you when you're are donating to you, which is a great source of income. Sometimes I've

[08:50] even had donations in a single day of only 50. A lot of people connect and start giving me roses and wreaths and hearts and a lot of things like that. a lot to monetize is subscriptions. Here you can enable

[09:02] a subscription to have people who can connect with you, so you can to your content. To be honest, I'm not taking full advantage of this tool because I try to direct people to other subscription channels, for

[09:14] which, by the way, if you want to learn how to monetize Facebook pages and . We have classes every Monday. I just made a The monetization club is now available. Updated

[09:28] Facebook and YouTube courses with over 50 classes and live sessions every Monday to channels, and your Facebook pages. Join the largest monetization community in Latin America. Link in the description.

[09:40] you can see here, my total subscription rewards are only content creator who doesn't want to take your audience away, in this case from TikTok, you quite well. There are other tools that I personally don't like very

[09:54] much, such as working with artists where you can take music from certain musical artists or music producers and they can give you a reward if you use the music and your video has a certain number of views. To be honest, I'm

[10:06] not a big fan of this tool, but oh well, here it is and TikTok promoting it much anymore. Now, that's the tool I referred to at the This tool is actually quite good because you can get

[10:18] rewarded for what you're monetizing. It says here, "Monetize your live stream without having many followers, up to 868 per video." So, you enter specifications of what [music] TikTok wants you to make in order to

[10:32] the instruction that [music] says, "For every 1000 clicks on links you can generate up to 868 Mexican pesos, [music] which is on average [music] which is on average about 70 more or less. rules. Share your

[10:46] Tell viewers to click the link to start live. What does wants is for you to invite the people watching you to create a live stream by putting a button on your video, and the more people

[10:59] Now, the second option that [music] gives you here is how to get more followers with Live. Here, what TikTok wants is the same: for you to invite people to create live streams and finally do

[11:12] remaining reward, which in [music] this case goes to all creators, because there's a fund that TikTok invests and distributes to everyone doing this, so basically people can earn up to

[11:25] content creators participating in this program. So, that's consider that TikTok gives you so many activities to do no other platform is doing as well as TikTok.

[11:39] bonuses, but they're pretty lame, honestly, they don't really work that well. Here on TikTok, it actually gives you growth tasks, it gives you a specific task to tracks what you have to work on, and if you're

[11:51] products, selecting products to sell related to TikTok Shop, it also gives you quite a few commissions or percentages. So, in addition , you can be making at least, at the very least, if you're lucky,

[12:06] making at least, at the very least, if you're lucky, about $50 a month, if you really put in a little effort. I mean, if you really dedicate your quite well. Now I'm going to show you how I actually record my

[12:19] can see [music], I have this softbox that you're seeing here on my all the time, and honestly, I'm doing quite well creating this content. 've personally discovered with TikTok is [music]. The more organic and

[12:33] work. Professional and highly edited content also works, but if you don't want to get into that world yet, you can skip that 'm doing. I know perfectly well that there are many themes that work for me personally

[12:47] one. Basically, here on TikTok, I always use these filters, and I remove the music from the top because I don't love it. I do use music, but I'm not going to play it at that moment. That's how I managed to reach 45 million people on this

[13:01] Facebook page in a simple way. Oh, no. Simple way, right? 'll repeat it again. This is how you can get 45,000,000 Facebook page. So, there's the first part. Now I'm going to go up here

[13:13] dynamic visual changes. And on this same page, I'm generating $0.055 a month on if you're not doing it, you have to understand that organic content on TikTok works quite well, but on Facebook, everything is monetized. One

[13:27] monetize more on Facebook is posting between 10 and 100 videos a day, at least 2 to 3 minutes long to actually at all. If you want to learn

[13:42] action to send me a message because I know there are a lot of new people who Now, what I do is I always go into the TikTok editor right here and edit my content. I always cut out the first few seconds

[13:55] The TikTok recorder on the platform always records a few miss what you want to record. So, before I speak, I as it starts. "How can you get 45 million followers from a

[14:10] I cut this out too. Just dead space, man. Now, this video is 31 seconds long, okay? The idea is that you can make a one- quick example of how I edit my content. Now I add subtitles. I generate the

[14:23] appears below. I don't think you saw me click it. Subtitles. The option appears here customize the font because the fonts it has here are kind of ugly, to be honest. And it looks a bit like... I use CapCut with its templates, but it seems like they have

[14:37] n't fully integrated all of CapCut's features yet; they kind of leave it add the word changer, and I leave the default TikTok one. Okay, now at the beginning I always add a headline, that's my key, I always

[14:50] say "Monetize [music] Monetize Facebook with real content." Let's see, let's try that headline. Here I always add the blue and this little block, and I'm going to put it here. Now, if you notice, it covers the

[15:02] subtitles from the beginning and leave the subtitles after the first hook, basically. And here I delete those subtitles, and here I always add the "Follow me [music]" one and a little heart. Some people

[15:15] asking people to follow you. No, you don't get a penalty if you do it subtly. Obviously, it's going to get you in violation if you're constantly saying, "Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me." That's obviously super bad. Here, I've hidden that little window, I'm going to add

[15:28] the music, add sound. I'm going to use that one, the Dramaamine one, and I'm low. Not too low, though, don't exaggerate. And that's it. Now I'm going to the next one. And the important thing here on TikTok is that it does

[15:42] description, this [music], is vital, it's very important because that's how they're very important because that's how they're

[15:59] here on viral content, right? Those hashtags are super bad. And I'm going to use the AI ​​one. Okay, here, what's that? It just... Add another hashtag, TikTok gets really, really clunky. Here I also add a little cover image, and

[16:13] want to publish it directly. I always save it in drafts. I always keep this full. In fact, today, after finishing recording this TikToks because I always have to have drafts here, because

[16:26] to record. So, one day I try to take advantage of the time to record all the to record only Facebook videos, another day just for And today it's TikTok videos' turn, so all the drafts I have,

[16:41] upload these and I can't upload them," I save them here and that's how I build my for example, this one that's edited here, I edited this a little while ago, I already have it and select draft, and that's where it's saved. Then, when I want to

[16:54] edited, and I click publish. I'm not scheduling the content; I just like to do it this way with TikTok specifically. With other platforms, as a final recommendation, to take care of your TikTok account because they can almost

[17:08] penalize you for anything, or they can ban your account very quickly. Facebook and TikTok are very different, okay? The system isn't the same. showed you that have millions of views and millions of followers.

[17:21] I use many of these accounts basically to have massive content, generated by these accounts, to send it to YouTube, to send it to strategy with the intention of monetizing, it's not going to work. In this

[17:34] case, it is important that to monetize a TikTok account, you focus on content of You can record your TikTok videos there or edit them with a camera, then repurpose them on other platforms, which is pretty great. Now, a lot of this

[17:48] platforms, uploading it to TikTok is also fine, but always keep in mind that TikTok will read the metadata or information from these videos downloaded and detect where those videos came from, and basically, it won't

[18:02] important way to monetize TikTok is by using your personal brand or the brand of the content you're creating. That's how I monetize it, and it's currently TikTok. I have my platform, my

[18:15] send to YouTube, which I then funnel. Well, I have a complete system, and it's a pretty big funnel that also originates from Facebook, and that's how I earn money externally. Remember, I've always

[18:28] in all my videos. I almost always 's important, but indirect monetization [music], what it generates in terms of traffic, what it more people, and what you can monetize through that, is invaluable.

[18:42] Often, it's much better and more valuable to be paid by people outside the platform than for the platform to pay you for videos. Because, look, it's extra income, but you can't more income streams through your personal brand. And remember that on TikTok,

[18:55] original content. You have to appear on camera. The clips can't be just clips where you the content creator or the account owner. Now, understanding the entire

[19:08] but you'll also need to understand a very important funnel to see a whole can use in other ways. Now, if your interest is in monetizing a video below where I'll show you a... [Music] This system cost me over

[19:23] $50,000 so you can go see it right now and see the information I So click and I'll see you inside.
