Ask How do TikTok influencers get paid from brand collaborations?

[SuperAffiliateX]

I keep feeling a little confused about this whole process. I see so many TikTok creators talk about working with brands. I tried reaching out to a couple of companies myself just to see what would happen.

I share videos regularly and pay close attention to brands that message me back. Sometimes companies send emails with offers, sometimes nothing comes through at all. I signed up for a few creator platforms to make connecting easier.

Does anyone actually know how TikTok influencers get paid from brand collaborations?
