The Cuban influencer known as Flor de Cuba recently unveiled to her followers the financial benefits she has reaped from TikTok, detailing her earnings since she began monetizing her content on the widely-used platform. In just four months, she has seen substantial financial gains and encourages others to consider this avenue for income generation.
"Every month, I receive payments from TikTok. The app offers several programs to earn money," Flor de Cuba stated. "I'll show you my earnings from the last month: $1,160 in October and $1,383 in November," she revealed. "But it wasn't always like this. The first month I earned $571."
In total, Flor de Cuba has amassed $4,870 over the span of four months, which she attributes to her hard work and dedication. She explained that she participates in the Creator Rewards program, which is open to creators with at least 10,000 followers. "They send you a message saying you qualify. You monetize videos over a minute long that need to be original. Payment depends on views and the country from which they're viewed," she elaborated.
Exploring New Avenues for Income
Flor de Cuba has also ventured into other monetization methods, such as TikTok Shop, where she has promoted three products and earned a $200 commission. "This is already a job, and you can make a lot of money if you put in the effort. This is real," she declared, expressing her excitement about further growth on the platform.
Challenges for Cuban Residents
However, she pointed out a significant hurdle for those residing in Cuba: the lack of direct access to TikTok payments. "If someone is in Cuba, they need someone in the United States to provide banking information because payments are made via PayPal. I have a relative who sends it to me through an agency," she explained.
With this revelation, Flor de Cuba joins a growing number of influencers who see TikTok not just as a platform for sharing content, but as a genuine opportunity for economic gain. Her journey serves as an inspiration for others to explore this possibility and transform their passion for video creation into a sustainable source of income.
