One of the activities on the Internet that gives the best monetary income is the publication of videos to watch on computers and televisions. For this, there are different platforms headed by YouTube that host the videos and, depending on the originality of their content, monetize it according to their own policies.
However, the rise of mobile phones and their ability to create and play videos has given rise to other entertainment platforms that store and broadcast videos in an apparent format for viewing from such devices.
Among them, TikTok undoubtedly stands out, the platform of Chinese origin that broadcasts short videos in vertical format and not only that; It also puts various tools at the hand of content creators so that the task of producing and editing videos is as satisfying as possible and makes them go viral.
And how could it be otherwise, TikTok also rewards the most influential content creators within their community with payments for the number of views of a video and tips given by their followers. However, for this to be carried out there are a series of requirements that begin with having a user account on the platform.
