Here’s How Many YouTube Views, Instagram Sponsored Posts And TikTok Followers You Need To Make $100K In A Year

Remember how when you were little your mom would ask you to get off the internet and do something productive in the old days, or simply the times when one could not make money off the internet but how times have changed now.

Internet and social media platforms have become a great way for content creators and influencers to make money nowadays and specially on platforms like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok influencers and creators can make a great amount. However, the main factor that determines your earnings is your follower count.

Big shot celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kylie Jenner and soccer Cristiano Ronaldo make around 1 million dollars per post according to Instagram analytics tool company Hopper HQ but that is because they have a following of over 200 million on Instagram. So is it necessary for a normal person to have such a huge following to make an amount?

The answer is no, well firstly because it is impossible for a normal content creator or influencers on these platforms to have such a massive following and so earning such an amount seems out of question but they can make a decent amount by just have a normal number of followers.

But what is exactly the number count which will determine that you are now eligible to start earning on the applications. To answer this, Lickd updated a social salary calendar where they used data from Influencer Marketing Hub’s YouTube Money Calculator, Creator agency Seven Six’s influencer pricing report and influencer branding platform SocialPubli’s blog post, to figure out how many followers you need on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok to generate 100,000 dollars in earnings.

The first thing a creator needs to do in order to earn a $100K on the platform is to have 1000 subscribers on their channel along with 23.9 million yearly views.

Furthermore, the creator needs to be enrolled in YouTube’s Partner Program (YPP), which allows creators to earn money through monetization on their videos.

According to YouTube a creator who want to become a part of YouTube Partner Program needs to have 1,000 subscribers and 4000 valid public watch in the last 12 months as well as a linked AdSense account.

Influencer Marketing Hub’s YouTube calculator concludes that an average creator on YouTube earns around $7.60 per 1,000 views, 45 percent of which goes to Google.

Lickd further for the creators on Instagram said that in order to make 100,000 dollars on this app creator need to have a minimum of 5000 followers along with 308 sponsored posts a year and those influencers with over 1 Million followers are reported to make around $250,000 per post from brands.

The only thing apart from gaining a massive following on this platform is to switch your account to a professional account and select business and boom you will soon start making money.

To make money on TikTok creators need to have a minimum of 10,000 TikTok subscribers and over 270 million views a year to generate $100,000.

However, another way to earn money on the platform is through TikTok Creator Fund which is TikTok’s own partnership application. To be a part of this creators need to be based in either the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Spain or Italy and be older than 18 years of age. Along with this those creators should have 100,000 followers and a least 100,000 video views in the last 30 days. The account also has to aligned with TikTok’s community guidelines and terms of service.

Making money on these app’s is also not a child’s play you need hard work, a lot of time, patience and dedication to your content to reach such a following where people genuinely like what you do and only then will you be able to collaborate with brands and earn money on these applications.
