TikTok monetization has its own rules and features. In particular, payment for views is not yet available for Ukrainian creators, but they can earn on the platform through other methods, such as advertising or sponsorship.
How to make money on TikTok?
The OMG agency resource discusses whether Ukrainians can earn income from a TikTok page.
The first thing you need to know is that the platform pays for views. So, a content author can receive $0.02 – $0.04 for 1,000 views.
Note: You can get $15 for 500,000 views.
If you find partners, your income will increase significantly. The author of videos or broadcasts can receive an additional $500-$1,000 for advertising/sponsorship material.
Live broadcasts . They can be held if the account has 1,000 or more subscribers. When the author goes live, he is given gifts, which are then converted into coins. Thanks to the online format, this virtual money can be transferred to PayPal. However, it is worth remembering that there is a limit on the withdrawal of funds. The minimum amount per day is $50, the maximum is $1,000. If the author has more than a thousand dollars, then the money can be transferred in parts on different days.
Song Promotion . With the help of the TikTok PlaylistPush program, you can get up to $ 250 per video. Thus, record companies often look for platform users who agree to use new tracks in their videos. The exact amount of income depends on the number of views of such a video. And you can join the initiative by submitting an application as a TikTok user.
TikTok Rewards . This is another way to earn money on the platform through so-called advertising. Only in this version you will need to recommend the application to your friends. This works through the TikTok Rewards program. The user needs to copy and send a unique referral link from their profile to their friends. If their friends or relatives join using this link, the user will receive a reward.
Brand promotion . Yes, you can sell products, advertise your own business, or manage your own brand through your own videos and content. You can shoot a video and attach a link to the product itself when publishing it. In particular, you can advertise things through live broadcasts.
In particular, the SendPulse resource recommends becoming a brand ambassador . This way of earning is suitable for beginner bloggers or, conversely, experienced ones with a large audience. The most important thing is the target audience you work with and the niche. In particular, it is not about direct advertising, but about attracting the attention of users to increase loyalty to the product.
You can also participate in challenges . Although there are many offers and options, you can only make money from such an idea if the account has at least 10 thousand subscribers.
Who can get monetized from TikTok and how much do they pay?
There are requirements for content authors, based on which the platform will pay for success and views. So, you need to:
- establish a Creator Fund;
- be over 18 years old;
- have more than 10 thousand subscribers;
- have over 100 thousand views within the last month.
Please note! This program is not yet available in Ukraine, but it works for bloggers in the USA, UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany. Ukrainians can start earning from affiliate programs, advertising, and sponsorships.
Regarding the amount of earnings. First of all, it is necessary to take into account that the platform has a large offer and they do not pay too much for views ($15 for 50 thousand views). As for other options, it all depends on the content and the author.
It is known that despite the fact that there is no direct monetization in Ukraine, there are successful examples of how Ukrainians earn money on the platform.
Kateryna Myhovych (@kate.myhovych) earns from 4 thousand hryvnias per advertising video and has a contract with Metro, where the amounts per video are even higher. Alya Gryn (@alya_gryn) also earns from advertising. One of their videos costs about 3,500 thousand hryvnias. In particular, the girl has permanent agreements with manufacturers and retailers.
At the same time, as duflu.org.ua writes, blogging in Ukraine is quite profitable. And the formula that works best is when the author chooses the right niche and works with content regularly, then profits can be in the millions.
In particular, the algorithms of 2026 show that the posts of bloggers who will be successful are AI-generated content with their own identity. That is, in addition to publishing, you also need to be active in comments, create polls, and show authenticity.
What else do you need to know about monetization?
-
One option for making money from content creation is YouTube. The main factors to consider are the country for which the content is created, as well as the type of video. For example, for the countries with the highest monetization, 1 thousand views will cost from 3 to 11 dollars.
-
In Ukraine, in 2026, a thousand views will cost approximately $4. So, approximately for 100 thousand views, the author will be able to receive up to $400. However, it should be borne in mind that the amount depends on many factors and will not be the same for everyone.
