After you get 10K (or 100K) followers, its time to monetize them and make money from them. 
As you know Tiktok doesn’t support links except for Youtube and Instagram, so it's a little difficult to make money from followers through TikTok. This problem can be solved by getting TikTok followers on your Instagram or Youtube so don’t forget to add your Instagram and Youtube links in your profile. (It's better to ask your followers to follow you on Instagram.)
There are many ways to make money from TikTok. Best ones are as follows:
1. Live Streaming 
Live streaming is the only option TikTok provides for monetization. It is one of the best ways to make money with your account.
Your fans need to purchase some TikTok Coins with their real money with In-App Purchases and they can send this money to you during live streaming. You can withdraw this money into your Paypal account.
2. Doing Sponsored Posts 
Sponsored posts are the best way of making money on TikTok. Just build an engaged audience up to 1M on TikTok (or 100K on Instagram) and brands that want to get in front of your audience will connect with you.
Nowadays, brands prefer those influencers whose engagement rate is high regardless of the follower's base. You should keep your followers engaged and the best way to do is post consistently and interact with your followers.
You can find sponsored posts through Izea, Ifluenz, BrandBassdor, GrapevineLogic, Famebit, Upfluence, Webfluential, BrandBacker, Repped, and JuliusWorks.
3. Become an Affiliate 
Becoming an affiliate and making a commission selling other brands’ products is also a good source of income. Keep in mind, only promote products that are good and relevant to your audience/ niche. Don't shatter the follower's trust by doing a biased review.
You can find companies offering affiliate products through ClickBank, Amazon, RewardStyle, Shareasale, Rakuten, and Stylinity (great for fashion bloggers)
Before you pick a product to promote, ask yourself questions like:
- Who is your audience?
- What type of content do you already post?
- What existing brands do you admire (they might have existing affiliate programs you could join)?
After selecting any product for affiliate marketing, add its affiliate URL on your captions or in your bio. You can either use bitly.com to shorten and customize your affiliate link OR use bio link tool, ContactInBio, and add all product links there so that when people are interested in any product, they can purchase it through your link.
4. Sell Physical Products
When you have a loyal audience 
, you can sell them anything you like. It can be a physical product, a merch or a digital product.
You can sell your own produced physical products or you can purchase from suppliers and sell it then. You have to spend money on stocking some inventory and a storage place along with building your website on Shopify, which is free for 14 days without entering credit card details. Just upload products and start promoting it.
Now you can sell products directly on Instagram through Instagram Posts and Stories. By simply tagging products in your Instagram images, you can lead your Instagram followers to your product pages where they can purchase products quickly.
5. Start Dropshipping 
Storing, packaging and shipping products is a headache but nowadays you can sell physical products by avoiding this headache.
Dropshipping is a business model in which the retailer (you) does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers the customer orders and shipment details to either the supplier who then ships the goods directly to the customer.
Dropshipping is very easy now. All you have to do is set up your e-commerce website using Shopify, and installing Oberlo’s forever Free plan to find suppliers for your products. After finding suitable products, just double click to add it to your Shopify store.
After a product is sold, the supplier will send them directly to your customer.
Tip: Best products for an Instagram and TikTok influencer is "Custom Name Jewelry." It costs 5$ for each custom name jewelry and you can easily sell it for 15-20$ on your own website. You will get 10-15$ solid profit on every sale.
For authentication, you can check the supplier price of the "custom bar necklace" at AliExpress and retail price on Amazon to know the profit margin.
6. Create and Sell Digital Products 
Creating a digital product requires a one-time effort. You don't have to worry about managing inventory and packing products. Digital products can be a course, ebook, printables 
, recipes, workbooks, to-do list template or any other downloadable product.
Digital product format differs from niche to niche. If you are in the health niche, e-books 
will be your main digital product to make money while helping followers. You can learn more about creating and publishing a Kindle e-book by this course.

Selling merchandise is one of the favorite ways of influencers for making money. All you need is to create a beautiful design for merchandise with your branding and upload it on Teespring. They will handle manufacturing to delivering it to your followers. You will get a fixed amount of profit on each sale.
If you want a branded look, make your own merch store on Shopify (14 days free trial without credit card) and use Printful as a supplier.
Tip: I would suggest you make a separate brand and advertise it on your handle. Make a separate account on all social media platforms.
8. Offer a Paid Service
When you have loyal followers and you have any skill that your followers are interested in, you can offer them as a paid service. This paid service can be photography, video editing, dance lessons or anything you are expert at.

Use VidIQ and TubeBuddy for optimizing your YouTube videos for higher rankings.
