On TikTok, you can exchange gifts for money. If you’ll hit 100,000 subscribers, you can start earning special pictures called gifts during your live streams. People who enjoyed your content can send you gifts if they’ll pay for them with real money.

Each gift has its value, and you always can look at how much each of them costs inside the app. However, the price of the gift isn’t equal to the sum you’ll get after you exchange them, and you can do it only if you’ll get a certain amount of them. After you transform them into cash, you’ll most likely get only a quarter of the sum that people spent on them.

How to get money from gifts on TikTok

Not long ago, social networks could offer you only entertainment, and now you can earn money on some of them. On TikTok, you can do it in a few ways. The especially interesting one is about earning gifts.

Each gift costs a certain amount of coins. Users can buy a pack of coins while watching live streams and after that spend them on gifts. The range of cost for gifts is very different – from less than one to hundreds of dollars.

When you’ll get gifts in total cost more than $100, you’ll be allowed to exchange them for the diamonds. It’s another type of value, that was introduced for this transaction system. After you get your diamonds, you can exchange each for 5 cents.

How much do TikTok coins and diamonds cost

Before you’ll go any further, you need to know, exactly, how different the prices for gifts are. As already mentioned above, you can buy the cheapest of them for 1 coin, while one of the most expensive gifts – Lion, will cost you 29,999 coins.

Coins	Bonus coins	Dollars
65	45	1,19
330	95	5,99
660	195	11,99
1321	295	23,99
3303	495	59,99
6607	695	119,99
16500	995	299,99

If we don’t take into account the bonus part of each bundle, each coin right now costs a bit more than 1,8 cents. This means that the purchase price of the Lion gift is $539.99.

You may think that you got a jackpot if you got this gift, and you’re right. However, when you’ll exchange your gift for diamonds, there are a few things you better know about:

1. No matter what gift you got, you’ll get only half the number of diamonds from the number of coins. It means that if you get an Email Message gift for example, which costs 1000 coins, you’ll be capable to exchange it only for 500 diamonds.
2. Even if formally each Diamond cost 5 cents, you won’t get its full price after exchange. TikTok takes a 50 percent commission for each transaction of this type. So, for 500 diamonds instead of $25, you’ll get only $12.5.
3. To withdraw money from TikTok, you need to have a verified PayPal account. And you won’t be capable to withdraw more than $1000 gained on gifts per week.

Here are a few examples of how much you’ll get from a certain gift:

Name	Diamonds	Income $
Tsar	50	1.25
Necklace	200	5
Galaxy	500	12.5
Champion	750	18.75
Meteor Shower	1,500	37.5
Unicorn Fantasy	2,500	62.5
Sports Car	3,500	87.5
Planet	7,500	187.5
Rocket	10,000	250
TikTok Universe	17,499.5	437.49

How to buy gifts on TikTok and send them

To send someone a gift, there is no need to buy them prematurely. You can do it during a live stream, by pressing the corresponding button to choose the gift you need. There is how to do it:

• Open TikTok app on your smartphone.

• Proceed to the “Discover” section at the bottom of the screen.

• In the search bar on top, type any topic you think is interesting.

• When you’ll see the results of the search, pay attention to the panel under the search bar. There you’ll see the tab “Live”. Choose it.

• Then, among available live streams, choose the one you like more. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a gift icon. Choose it.

• A new window will pop up, with an assortment of gifts to choose from. Choose a gift you want to send. If you don’t have coins, the app will redirect you to the coin purchase screen.
• There you’ll have a choice, to buy the cheapest bundle or go to another window with a list of all bundles with coins.

How to increase the number of your followers on TikTok

Of course, to start making money without sponsorship, you still need to gain an audience. To do this, you’ll need to constantly monitor trends and look for popular topics. You’ll also need to check famous places in the area and ask yourself how to use them for your own profit.

Don’t forget that a large part of success in this type of work is the quality of your videos, so it’ll be wise to improve your ability to shoot and edit videos because although there is no limit to how many people can do this, but believe me, it won’t be easy to overcome the competition that already exists.

Another option can be to gain support from more experienced users. It may cost you money, but it’s a good way to gain popularity, especially if a user that helps you have over one million subscribers. In that case, you’ll achieve one thousand subscribers in no time.
