TikTok is one of the world's fastest-growing social media platforms, with millions of users signing up daily to create and watch short-form videos.
One of the app's distinguishing features is its virtual gift system, which allows viewers to donate to creators during live streams.
These gifts that look like stickers range from simple virtual reacts to elaborate AR effects and can be purchased with TikTok coins, which can be purchased from the in-app store using real money.
How Much Is a TikTok Rose Worth?
How do your favorite Tiktok influencers make money on the platform? Well, aside from advertisement deals and sponsorships, content creators can also make money through TikTok gifts from generous fans.
Dexerto tells us that the rose is one of the most popular TikTok gifts and only costs one TikTok coin (1.4 US cents). Along with the TikTok logo, Wishing Bottle, and Ice Cream Cone, it is the cheapest virtual gift.
TikTok gifts come in various sizes and prices, with some items costing up to $500 or 35,000 TikTok coins.
How to Buy TikTok Gifts?
To obtain virtual gifts, users must first purchase TikTok coins, which range in price from $1.29 for 100 coins to $134.99 for 10,000 coins.
Once they have coins in their balance, they can select from over 100 virtual gifts and send them to their favorite creators during live streams or in the comments section of their videos.
The Lion virtual gift is the most expensive on TikTok, costing 29,999 virtual coins or approximately $405 in real money. The gift includes a virtual lion that walks up to the screen and roars at the creators and viewers. The TikTok Universe gift is another popular virtual gift, which costs around $500 in real money or 34,999 TikTok coins.
Earning Big Bucks with TikTok Gifts
While virtual gifts are a cool way for viewers to express their admiration for their favorite creators, they also provide a sizable source of income for some TikTok influencers.
Top TikTok creators can earn up to $30,000 for a single sponsored post or brand deal, according to Advertisemint. However, not all creators have the same earning potential, and many rely solely on virtual gifts.
Take Note
Attention Always tells us that TikTok gifts also have age restrictions to protect younger users. Viewers must be at least 18 years old to send gifts during live streams, or 19 in South Korea and 20 in Japan.
This is to ensure that underage users are not spending money on virtual gifts without parental consent.
TikTok virtual gifts may appear trivial to some, but they are a substantial source of income for many TikTok influencers.
The rose gift is the most affordable virtual gift, but the most expensive one can cost hundreds of dollars, making them a costly investment for viewers who want to show their support.
