Some time ago my friends talked about how they managed to make some money with the help of the tiktok platform, they had created videos that went hand in hand for this platform that seemed to have appeared yesterday, being very popular today, at that time I thought it was just a joke and that it is impossible to make money with the help of funny videos.

I stopped thinking and created a range of products that were to be introduced in some videos based on the education of the buyer, videos being made in a funny style caught quite well and customers did not stop appearing. I had clients in the months when tiktok propelled my content into tranding. After this method, I managed to make sales of $ 350,000, of which I returned somewhere to $ 45,000 profit in the first year of activity.

Everything went pretty well considering that I had no expectations at all that I would make money with the help of tiktok, it gave me the chance to develop and on the client side the amount I raised was not a large amount but a it was an ok amount to reinvest in the company. My friends were interested in helping me for the first time, and they did. Along the way, they also developed their products and brought them on several platforms, promoting them on Facebook, Instagram, mail markering and our favorite platform tiktok.

Everything turned out to be profitable so we developed a few more skills and continued our sales on tiktok, on tiktok you can still make money with an affiliate account, if you have a tiktok account with many subscribers you can receive products that to promote them and for which to receive a certain percentage. You can of course create your own products and then you can post them on tiktok in case you don’t have a big enough page to start with.

In order to grow on tiktok you have to post content for the vast majority of people who are and who watch, mostly catch the short, funny videos that are addressed to the vast majority. As a new project we have the market study and create video clips for more niches that can become the future. Nobody knows how long the popularity of tiktok will last, but surely if we study this market and we will be up to date with what we are looking for, we will have a potential for success.
