TikTok gifts allow users to appreciate what other creators do during their live sessions. If you are a new creator on the platform, you could wonder about getting TikTok gifts and how to get started.
Read on to find out.
How to Qualify for TikTok Gifts
Below are some of the steps to get started:
- Open TikTok Account: If you don’t have an active TikTok account, download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple Store. Sign up, set up a username, and write your bio. Setting a catchy profile is one of the best ways to attract an audience.
Build a following: Consider creating a loyal following once the account is ready. One of the best ways of doing that is creating engaging content. You can choose a niche so you can have a particular audience.
Still, you can begin by being a generalist creator before narrowing your focus. Ensure you use relevant hashtags, are consistent, and collaborate with other creators. Before you know it, you will be on the list of top creators.
Activate Virtual Gifts: To go live, you can enable virtual gifts after building the recommended following, which is 1000 followers in Kenya.
Tap on the profile at the bottom and then tap on the menu button at the top. After that, tap creator tools and then tap on video gifts. Proceed and turn the gifts setting on, subsequently reviewing the eligibility requirements, and turn gifts on.
