Different Ways to Monetize Your TikTok Account: Kenya vs USA Comparison

In this article, I will walk you through the differences in monetizing TikTok accounts between Kenya and the USA. We'll look at the benefits, requirements, and opportunities for creators in both regions.

Kenya TikTok Account

I started my Kenya TikTok account last September after my second account, which had 47k followers, was banned. Here’s how monetization works for TikTok creators in Kenya:

  • 1,000 Followers: You can start earning once you have 1,000 followers by going live and receiving gifts from viewers.
  • 10,000 Followers: At this level, you can work with artists and receive payments for your content.
  • Subscription: Viewers can subscribe to your content.

USA TikTok Account

I opened my USA TikTok account in June this year. Creators in the USA have more opportunities to monetize their accounts. Here are the main ways to earn money:

  • Subscription: Fans can subscribe to your content.
  • Marketing and Shopping: More robust marketing options are available, including integrated shopping features.
  • Creator Tool: This becomes available when you reach 10,000 followers. You can earn money through views. For instance, once you fulfill the criteria of being above 18 years of age and having 100,000 followers within 30 days, you become eligible to earn.

For creators in the USA, the account functions similarly to YouTube, where you can earn money through ad revenue, also known as Creator Program Rewards (CPR). This makes the USA TikTok account more versatile for earning without needing big gifters or supporters, unlike in Kenya where gifts are a primary source of income.

Conclusion

Overall, the USA TikTok account is superior in terms of monetization options. Even if you don't receive gifts, you can still earn money. This positions the account favorably for content creators who have confidence in their abilities and content.
