In the past few years, TikTok has become a major influence for online commerce. It is a social media platform used globally and known as one of the most downloaded applications. The platform has over 732 million users per month, which is estimated to increase to almost 1.2 billion active users.
People have used this platform to gain millions of followers, as well as a major paycheck. How do they do it? TikTokers can earn anywhere from $400 to $20k per post. These social media influencers make videos on the platform that vary from comedy, dance tutorials or business insights. Companies then create deals with the creators to promote products or for them to be brand ambassadors.
TikTokers have become a major influence in the online world. These creators have gone from being viral sensations to actors, or product and fashion promoters. We can see examples of this at this year’s Met Gala, where creators like Addison Rae or Charlie and Dixie D’Amelio were seen in new fashion. These creators have made partnerships with many other companies and even fast-food chains. An example of this would be the Chase Hudson meal at Burger King.
