How to Grow on TikTok and Monetize Like a Pro in 2024
When 19-year-old Sarah posted a 7-second video of her air-frying Trader Joe’s gyoza, she didn’t expect five million views overnight. But what separated her from the flood of one-hit virals? She had a strategy — one that turned her TikTok momentum into merch drops, affiliate revenue, and even brand deals. In 2024, going viral is just the beginning. Staying relevant and cashing in is the goal.
Welcome to the creator economy’s fastest-moving frontier. Whether you're clocking 200 views or cruising past 200K, this guide will show you how to grow a TikTok audience that sticks and turn attention into income.
Cracking the TikTok Algorithm: What Works in 2024
TikTok’s algorithm evolves fast. In 2024, it doesn’t just reward watch time — it lives and dies by retention, saves, and shares. That means your content needs more than just punchlines and aesthetics. It needs purpose.
🔥 Viral Trends Still Dominate — But Strategy Wins
Remember the 'Photo Swipe' slideshow trend? Creators squeezed months of storytelling into 35 seconds. But only the strategic ones capitalized by:
- Pinning comment CTAs (“Slide 3 😭 — who else relates?”)
- Using niche hashtags like
#MillennialTherapyor#NightshiftChronicles - Following up with a part 2, part 3… then monetized with a Linktree
“Trends are just doors — smart creators turn them into storefronts.” — @DigitalLena (635K followers)
Organic vs. Paid Growth: What’s Actually Better?
Let’s be honest: Organic growth is gold. But it’s unpredictable. If you're launching a product, new account, or hype drop, strategic paid growth bridges the gap. TikTokCoins.ai offers scalable follower and engagement packages to boost visibility — without flagging spam filters.
| Organic Growth | Paid Growth via TikTokCoins.ai | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Slow/Moderate | Instant to 24 hrs |
| Sustainability | High (if content hits) | High with retention tools |
| Algorithm Visibility | Variable | Boosted with engagement velocity |
Powered by Crescitaly’s trusted panel, TikTokCoins.ai ensures real, quality users and authentic engagement metrics — the kind TikTok’s algorithm respects.
Turn Your Followers Into Revenue Machines
1. Use the Creator Fund (but don’t rely on it)
The average payout is 2–4 cents per 1,000 views. So yeah, those 100K views made you $2. Not exactly Lambo money.
However, it’s a credibility badge and it opens the door to brand collabs. So register, track your analytics, and deliver consistently.
2. Build a Cross-Platform Funnel
The real monetizers use TikTok to drive traffic to:
- Instagram: for long-form carousels and personal branding
- Telegram: for paid communities, drops, courses
- YouTube Shorts: to double-dip on short-form monetization
“My TikTok gets the eyeballs. Telegram is where I close clients.” — @CoachReel (SMMA coach, 80K TikTok, $20K/month from Telegram)
3. Sell What They Already Want
Monetization doesn’t look like an ad anymore. It looks like:
- “Link in bio for my Notion template” (Digital products)
- “I built this for creators with burnout — free for now” (Lead magnets)
- “Wanna grow like this?” (SMM services via TikTokCoins.ai plugs)
Data from Crescitaly shows conversion rates for micro-creators (10K–50K) are 2x higher than mega-influencers — especially when promoting niche products.
