What Are TikTok Coins?

TikTok Coins are a form of virtual currency that users purchase with real money. These coins can be used to send virtual gifts to creators during TikTok Live or eligible video content. When creators receive these gifts, they are converted into Diamonds, which can then be withdrawn as real cash.

Checklist: Are You Eligible to Earn from TikTok Coins?

Before you can cash in on TikTok Coins as a creator, ensure you meet these requirements:

• You must be enrolled in the Creator Next program.
• Your account is at least 30 days old.
• You have at least 1,000 followers.
• You’ve posted at least one public video in the last 30 days.
• You’re 18+ (or 19+ if in South Korea).
• Your content follows TikTok’s Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.

Note: Stitches, duets, ads, or sponsored content are not eligible for gifts.

How to Enable Video Gifts

1. Open TikTok and go to your Profile.
2. Tap the Menu (three lines), then go to TikTok Studio.
3. Select Monetization → Video Gifts.
4. Enable the Gifts feature and confirm eligibility.

How to Convert TikTok Diamonds into Cash

Diamonds are awarded based on gift value and video popularity. You cannot send Diamonds to others, but you can withdraw them for real money.

For example, a gift worth 399 coins costs the viewer about $5.30. You, the creator, would receive $2.65 after TikTok’s cut, since diamonds are worth 50% of the coin’s value.

Minimum withdrawal is $100, and payouts can be made to PayPal or your bank.

How to Buy TikTok Coins Cheaper

• Use the TikTok website instead of the app to avoid App Store fees.
• Use a VPN to switch to a region where coins are sold cheaper (use this cautiously and ethically).

Tips to Grow Fast and Get Monetized

Building your follower base can be challenging. Consider hiring a professional social media agency like Delivered Social to accelerate growth. They offer social media management, follower engagement strategies, and content creation.

TikTok Coins offer a rewarding opportunity for creators in Kenya to monetize their audience and creativity. While the earnings are modest per gift, consistent engagement and live content can yield meaningful income over time. Start by meeting the eligibility checklist, enable Video Gifts, and go live with confidence.
