TikTok’s global footprint is undeniable, but when it comes to monetization options in Bangladesh, things get a bit nuanced. While creators in countries like the U.S. or UK enjoy full access to programs like the Creator Fund or Creator Marketplace, Bangladesh is still in a transitional phase. That said, there are active monetization paths available right now—and more are on the horizon.
Let’s walk through what works, how it works, and what you’ll need to make money on TikTok from Bangladesh.
1. Live Gifting: Diamond Gifts That Pay
What It Is:
When you go live on TikTok, viewers can send you Coins (purchased with real money) as virtual gifts. TikTok converts these into Diamonds, which you can redeem for cash.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Minimum 1,000 followers
- At least 16–18 years old
- Account in good standing
- Live-stream via a Creator or Personal account
How Much You Actually Earn:
- Users spend Coins (e.g., 1 Coin ≈ $0.01)
- TikTok converts those into Diamonds (about 50% of that value)
- For example, a Lion gift worth 29,999 Coins (~$300) yields about $150 to the creator
Creators in Bangladesh report earning ৳10–20k (~$100–200 USD) in a single stream, and ৳30–40k monthly from live gifts alone.
2. Video Gifts & Tips on Regular Posts
What It Is:
TikTok now supports tipping on regular videos, not just during live streams. Viewers can send gifts that convert into Diamonds.
Requirements:
- At least 1,000 followers
- Minimum 18 years of age
- Active account (recent posts, good standing)
How to Maximize It:
Creators recommend:
- Producing high-value content (educational, entertaining)
- Acknowledging supporters publicly
- Reminding fans subtly that tipping is available
3. Brand Collaborations & Sponsorships
What It Is:
Peer-reviewed content campaigns where brands pay creators to promote products or run hashtag challenges.
Bangladeshi creators typically charge ৳5k–50k ($50–500 USD) per sponsored post depending on niche and following.
How to Get Started:
- Build a niche-specific, engaged audience
- Create high-quality, engaging campaigns
- Pitch brands directly or via influencer agencies
Many brands in Bangladesh already run TikTok marketing campaigns targeting young audiences.
4. Affiliate Marketing & TikTok Shop
Affiliate:
Use platforms like Amazon, Daraz, or local marketplaces to promote products via affiliate links in your bio, captions, or swipe-ups.
Bangladeshi influencers report ৳30k–40k monthly from affiliate sales .
TikTok Shop:
Currently rolling out globally in 2025—with features like:
- Marketplace seller accounts (5,000+ followers minimum)

Creator Fund:
Pays creators per view, but only in limited countries (U.S., UK, Canada, France, Germany, etc.). Not available in Bangladesh yet .
Using VPNs to bypass restrictions is risky and against TikTok policy .
6. Other Opportunities: Series, Creative Challenges
- TikTok Series: Pay-only access to curated episodes or tutorials. Needs 1k+ views and 3 new videos in 30 days.
