Money is tight in these current economic times, so it helps to have some additional money around and that might be finding a part-time job. But after working all day, you probably just want to chill out and enjoy some time on your phone, watching an app like TikTok. If that sounds like you, there is some good news: you can now get paid to watch TikTok. That’s right-there are certain apps that will give you money just for being on the social media platform you were already watching.
Curious to know how? Here are four ways to get paid for scrolling on TikTok.
Ubiquitous
The influencer marketing app Ubiquitous is paying users of TikTok to do what they do best: watch and engage with TikTok. The company is searching for three people on the app who are willing to watch TikTok for 10 hours in order to better understand trends, virality and how the platform interacts with viewers. In exchange, each user will get $1,000, but you do have to apply ahead of time.
Bytedance
The parent company of TikTok, Bytedance, wants to better understand the habits and patterns of users of the app so they are going to pay TikTokers money to watch videos, along with referring friends. The downside is that this chance to earn some income watching TikTok will not be available in the United States. However, if you are in Spain, France, Germany and other parts of Europe, this is a great time to make money spending time on TikTok.
lit.it
One app that’s been around for a few years already is lit.it, which rewards users for watching short-form video content, like TikTok. The longer you stay on the app watching TikTok, the more tokens you earn for your time, which can then be converted into cash.
TikTok Benefits and Rewards
While other apps and companies might be able to pay you externally for watching TikTok, there is also a chance to get paid by the app itself via TikTok Benefits and Rewards. Eligible users can sign up in the app and start to see payments flow into their accounts just by participating “in regular video watching tasks that can be accessed from the activity page,” per the apps website, as well as referrals. New users and their referrer can then continue to earn TikTok Rewards based on each others’ activity, engagement and sharing of the rewards program.
