In Canada, TikTok is no longer just an entertainment platform for young people. More and more ordinary people are also seizing the opportunity to monetize their side jobs here. According to Statista's 2024 data, more than 60% of TikTok users in Canada are aged 18-44, and the demand for content creators is exploding.
Want to quickly start and monetize TikTok in Canada? Here are proven and feasible steps:
Choose the right track: niche vertical fields are more likely to explode
High-traffic categories are highly competitive, but small and specialized fields are more likely to break through.
For example:
Local life store exploration (restaurant, cafe, supermarket review)
Outdoor sports (camping, skiing, hiking sharing)
Health and wellness (low-sugar diet, fitness routine)
[Real case]
A full-time mother in Toronto, just by sharing the special discount information of nearby supermarkets every day, her account has accumulated 150,000 followers in 4 months. Her video content is real and down-to-earth, with tags such as #TorontoLife #GroceryDeals, and each video has an average of more than 8,000 likes.
Mastering content production: The first 3 seconds determine life or death
TikTok official data shows that viewers decide whether to swipe away within the first 1.5-3 seconds.
Common characteristics of successful videos:
Throwing a strong question at the beginning (such as: "This supermarket has a big discount today!")
Using high-contrast images or exaggerated expressions
Speeding up the pace in the middle, changing the focus of the picture every 5-7 seconds on average
Localized operation: Telling stories with Canadian culture
The content is more down-to-earth and can quickly impress local users:
Telling reviews of new Tim Hortons products
Participating in the Canada Day Challenge (#CanadaDay)
Using bilingual (applicable to English + French regions)
[Real case]
A student in Montreal quickly accumulated 300,000 fans by filming local knowledge (such as "Why is Montreal's underground city so big?") and received cooperation from the Tourism Bureau, earning 500-1500 Canadian dollars for each content.
Accelerate the growth of followers: Understand the TikTok algorithm preferences
TikTok Canada has preferred the following content in the past year:
Original high-interaction content (likes + comments ratio higher than 5%)
Positive energy themes (positive, positive life)
Short and fast videos (10-25 seconds is optimal)
Maintain at least 2-3 stable updates every day, use batch testing (A/B title, cover, rhythm), find high-playing videos and then copy and fission.
Sideline monetization path: diversified combination
In addition to opening TikTok Creator Fund, common sideline monetization methods in Canada include:
Product display (selling Amazon and Shopify products)
Local small business cooperation (restaurant and gym promotion)
Knowledge payment (English, fitness, photography teaching)
Summary:
In Canada, as long as the content is authentic, updated regularly, and local storytelling is known, ordinary people can also quickly increase their fans through TikTok and start a stable growth sideline monetization path.
