How TikTok works and how to make money with TikTok
TikTok Lite is a simplified version of TikTok. An application that was born last year and which, after having conquered Japan and South Korea, was launched in recent days in a few selected countries of the European Union, specifically France and Spain. The timing for the release in Europe has not been disclosed.
The application has a simple interface and an important additional functionality compared to TikTok. It’s about a rewards system that allows you to accumulate points viewing videos and taking part in other activities (such as inviting friends to download the app, watch videos, follow creators or much more), which can then be exchanged for prizes or cash.
Everyday you can earn up to 3600 coins, which correspond to 0.36 euros. This figure, which can be defined as negligible, can be converted into PayPal gift cards, Amazon vouchers or virtual coins which can be used to obtain benefits or send gifts during TikTok live.
The TikTok Lite rewards system is reserved only for users who are 18 years of age or older. A verification system has been put in place to reduce the possibility that minors may take part.
