The "Live" feature on TikTokallows creators an effective way to engage with their viewers, grow their viewership, and if you’re 18 or older, potentially make a little bit of money.

But first, there are a few pre-reqs in order to have the ability to go live on TikTok:

1. Be 16 years old or older

2. Have at least 1,000 followers
