Welcome to my article “How Gen Z Is Earning $100 a Day Using TikTok SEO” Let’s face it—when TikTok first hit the scene, most people thought it was just a digital dance floor for Gen Z. Fast-forward to 2025, and it turns out the “chronically online” generation isn’t just scrolling and syncing lip movements—they’re monetizing like mini moguls. While millennials are still writing blog posts (hey, no shade), Gen Z is busy ranking TikToks in search results and cashing in $100+ a day using something called TikTok SEO.
Yes, TikTok has evolved into more than a source of viral dances and oddly satisfying slime videos. It’s now a full-blown search engine, and Gen Z knows how to play the algorithm like it’s their part-time job—which, ironically, it is. With a few clever keywords, a trending sound, and a strategically placed affiliate link, these digital hustlers are stacking dollars one short-form video at a time.
In this guide, we’re pulling back the curtain on the secret sauce of TikTok SEO: what it is, why it works, and how you (even if you were born before 2000) can get in on the action. Whether you’re looking for passive income, an online side hustle, or just want to understand how these kids keep affording iced lattes and iPads, you’re in the right place. Spoiler: It’s easier than you think—and no, you don’t have to dance (unless you want to).
I break this down in my detailed guide. You can check it out here >>
