How Much Money Does TikTok Pay for 1 Million Views?

TikTok pays content creators $0.02–$0.04 per every 1,000 views. This means you’ll get about $15 for 500,000 views and $40-$50 for 1 million views. 

It sounds insane—we know—especially when compared to YouTube, which pays between $2,000 and $4,000 for a million views.

That said, you can monetize your videos on TikTok by using affiliate marketing—i.e., placing affiliate links on your TikTok bio or making deals with brands and promoting their products.

How Much Money Can You Make as a TikToker?  

It depends on how skillful and dedicated you are. Here’s how most people make money on TikTok:

1. TikTokers can make $2,000–$4,000 from live streams.

How many followers on TikTok do you need to go live? At least 1,000. Plus, you need to be older than 16 to enable the live feature. 

This may be the easiest way to earn some cash. Namely, when you launch a live video, your followers are able to give you gifts — aka coins — that you can later exchange through PayPal.

As a TikTok user, you can buy up to 10,000 coins. You just have to pay $1.39 for every 100 coins you buy, and then gift them to your favorite TikToker.

Thinking about going live yourself? Then you should know the most popular live categories on TikTok are gaming, Q&A, talents, daily life, and fashion.

2. What does TikTok pay for 100K views? People with 100,000 followers usually make $200–$1,000 per month.

Similarly, TikTokers with one million followers can earn up to $5,000 monthly.

Now, let’s say I got 1 million views on TikTok, how can I double my earnings?

Aside from making videos and going live, TikTokers often sell their merch, use affiliate links, and make deals with brands to earn extra money.

3. Brands pay between $200 and $20,000 for promotional videos on TikTok.

How much does TikTok pay you for promotional content?

Nothing. TikTok only pays per number of views — but that doesn’t mean you can’t monetize your videos in other ways.

To earn real more money, you can reach out to different brands and create sponsored videos. 

For instance, brands like Nike, Princess Polly, and L’Oreal, pay influencers to promote their products. This is how Charli D’Amelio became the highest-paid TikToker in 2021.

So, if you have a large number of followers, consider reaching out to your favorite brands. Popular TikTokers can charge a whopping $500,000 per post!

Making the Most of Viral Videos

So, how much money does TikTok pay for 1 million views? Not much. But now you know where the real money is — marketing.

All you need is a considerable number of followers, catchy content, and a variety of branding tactics to make some serious cash on TikTok!
