TikTok has revolutionized content creation and consumption with its unique format and features, allowing creators to express themselves while fostering engaged user communities with limitless opportunities. For TikTok content creators, the platform is more than a stage for viral dances or trending challenges — it’s a path to creating a sustainable income stream.

Creating and publishing TikTok-related courses: This is one of the most exciting ways to monetize your expertise. But if you have been creating for a long time, you are always looking for ways to make passive income. When you teach others by launching your online course, you will be making passive income over time — that will be one of the best things in your long-term success.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll show TikTok content creators how to make the leap to courses on a platform that’s tailor-made to grow your audience and income. We’ll walk through each step — from how to register your account and distribute your course — to get you all set up for success! Also, we’ll share a novel way for you to receive commissions not just on sales of the courses themselves, but on the sales of other products of partner merchants.

Ready to convert your TikTok expertise into a lucrative business? Let’s dive in.


Why TikTok Creators Should Create and Sell Courses

That's because TikTok content creators have a distinct advantage in course creation. I think your talent to engage audiences, tell stories, and simplify complex ideas makes you a natural educator.

Here’s Why Having a Course is a Game Changer:

In this context, what are some opportunities for making money (note that you will have to be an expert at it):

  • Monetize Your Knowledge: Share your tips on how to build a TikTok audience, make TikTok virals, or how to take advantage of trends to make money.

  • Ability to Generate Passive Income: Once the course is up and running, it can make you money while you sleep with little upkeep.

  • Rev Up Your Brand — Courses establish you as a thought leader in the TikTok space, thus opening doors for new followers and opportunities.

  • Your Course Earns You from Two Different Sources: You earn from your course sales on our platform PLUS from the students in your course, who go on to sell partner merchants’ products.

If you haven’t created courses before, that’s fine. Getting started is simple with platforms like ours, and the  TikTok Affiliate Beginner Course takes you step-by-step on how to create a course your audience wants to take.


Your TikTok Course Publishing Step-by-Step

Creators on TikTok, this step-by-step guide is for you, so that you can take your idea all the way to a published course.


Step 1: Create an Account on the Platform

But the first thing we need to do is register an account on our course platform. You can register for an account for free and get access to tools for course creation. Just enter your email, set a password, then verify your account. After getting in, take a look at your dashboard to learn about content-building features.

Pro Tip: Make sure you fill out your profile with a professional bio, and links to your TikTok account. This leverages trust and demonstrates your expertise to potential students.


Plan the Content of Your Course

Outline your course before diving into creation. Consider what is unique to your TikTok journey. You are a master of short-form storytelling. Are you well-versed in how TikTok’s algorithm works?

Here are some possible topics your course could include:

  • Making cool TikTok videos

  • Building a loyal audience

  • Making money from your TikTok content

  • Using TikTok Ads for growth

Make sure that you have packed your course into modules with clear lessons that can be actionable. A module on “Crafting Viral Content,” for instance, might feature lessons on trending sounds, video editing, and hashtag strategies.


Step 3: Produce Quality Content

You know that visual preference to TikTok content creators, so be creative and make it juvenile, and use that in your course. Record videos with integrated tools on our platform, upload slides, and create quizzes. Lessons should be brief and engaging in a TikTok-like style. Try to create videos that are 5–10 minutes in length to hold student attention.

If you have no idea how to begin, the TikTok Affiliate Beginner Course provides practical advice on how to structure your content and provide value to students.


Step 4: Set Your Pricing

Determine what amount you will be charging for your course. As we have more data till Oct 2023, you can charge competitive pricing as we are providing you with knowledge with extra pricing. Charge a fee for ongoing access to your content instead — a subscription model.

Keep in mind — you’ll make commissions not only on course sales, but also on all merchant product sales that your students drive.


Step 5: Review Submission

Once you finish your course, submit it for review. We check for tone, relevance, and engagement — in short, we make sure you are meeting your quality assurance. This can take 1–3 days, and then your course is approved and ready to go live.


Step 6: Share and Share Alike

The beauty of our platform is that we promote for you, at no cost. Thousands of learners will discover your course in our marketplace.

Including your course link in your TikTok bio will also help push your followers to take that next step and sign on for your course. Utilize your abilities as a TikTok content creator to produce teaser videos that highlight what students will gain.


Step 7: Earn Commissions

When students buy your course, you'll get a commission for each sale. But that’s not where the earning potential ends. You will earn additional commissions if your students get into selling partner merchants’ goods (which can be purchased through our platform).

This dual income model sets us apart from other platforms for TikTok creators to grow revenue even more.
