The purpose of every entrepreneur is to make profit and that seems to be the target of the creator of the app called Tiktok. If you have come across a 15 seconds video with the trademark of TikTok on it, then you need to download the app to fully enjoy more of that. The app boasts of publicity, fun, entertainment and more to the extent that it was recognized recently as the “Most Valuable Startup Company”.

Who actually owns TikTok?

TikTok is owned by a Chinese Company, ByteDance, whose founder is a Chinese entrepreneur called Zhang Yiming. The app was created as far back as 2012 and is believed to worth about $80 million. Research shows that TikTok now has a user base of over 500 million users across the globe and in the United States alone, it is believed that there are over 100 million downloads on the app as at the time of writing this.

So how does TikTok make money? Here are some of the means by which TikTok owners make their money;
