for those that make money on TikTok with how the algorithm is set up today, how many followers do you have and around how much money you make? I don’t mean to be tacky and blunt, but many of us would like to know if we are wasting our time or not. Thanks so much in advance!
I love pay transparency. So I am about to hit 71K on TikTok, and from the creator program I make on average 1-2K a month, my best month ever was $4,000 and my worst month was a $211. In 2025 I made 20,000 and so far in 2026 I’ve made almost $7,500 from just the creator fund. It definitely varies, and I always say it’s similar to the lottery because you truly don’t know how well videos will perform. An average video for me gains 1-5K views but when I do have a video that hits a big number it typically earns income for weeks
I have 250k followers and make maybe $50 a month on views. I’m in a niche where only short videos work so I very rarely do longer videos. I think my highest months was about $400 but usually it’s $40-$70
I started my page called MurphysPath with content about how I’m building a path in the woods to walk her just adding things to make it a more enjoyable colorful Walk. Videos aren’t getting traction like I thought but the 30 followers I have actually do seem to enjoy the content so I’m goin to keep pushin!!
