Tiktok coins – How they work and how to earn them
TikTok coins and gifts are a great way to make money while live streaming on TikTok. Tiktok coins are bought by users and then converted into diamonds / gifts when they want to support a live streamer.
What Are TikTok Coins?
Coins are in-app currencies that are bought with real money. You can then use the coins to tip content creators during live streams in the form of emojis.
Depending on the exchange rate, the coins have different values. The system is always in flux, so the number of coins you get today for a dollar may not be the same tomorrow. The coins you purchase on TikTok are non-refundable.
