The recently launched TikTok Lite has captured the attention of many users in France with its focus on keeping things light on storage space and also in an ‘unusual way’.
They’re offering cash incentives through a dedicated app called TikTok Lite.
Here’s what we know about this program and how it might change how people use the platform.
TikTok Lite pays its users
While TikTok itself offers programs like the Creator Fund for qualified users to generate income through views and engagement, TikTok Lite doesn’t currently have a similar built-in system. However, some versions of the app, particularly in France, are experimenting with in-app reward systems.
According to Le Monde, TikTok Lite introduces a “coin” system that rewards users for their activity on the platform. These coins can then be converted into real money.
The report suggests a daily target of 3,600 coins, which translates to roughly €0.36 (US$0.38) – an interesting proposition for anyone looking to earn a little extra while enjoying content.
The app itself states: “You’ll be able to take part in various exciting tasks allowing you to accumulate points, which can then be exchanged for rewards,”.
How to get paid by using TikTok Lite
Le Monde also sheds light on how users can accumulate these coins. Simple actions like liking videos can earn you 150 coins. This suggests that consistent engagement with content is key to reaching your daily target and unlocking the cash rewards.
What if you are not in France?
The news about TikTok Lite offering cash incentives in France is exciting, but what if you’re not a resident?
As of now, the cash reward program seems to be exclusive to France. There’s no official information about a global rollout of this system with this version of TikTok.
The success of the French program might pave the way for similar initiatives in other regions. Keep an eye on official TikTok announcements or news updates to see if the program expands.
So, at the time of writing, if you are not a French resident you won’t get paid using the app but you may still download TikTok Lite using the links below.
Consider the time commitment
It’s important to consider the time commitment involved.
Earning the daily target reportedly requires roughly an hour of content consumption. Whether this translates to a worthwhile way to make money depends on your individual preferences and how you value your time.
