How to advertise on Tiktok videos without paying for Tiktok ads
Updated December 1, 2024
With Rite.ly, you can share Tiktok videos with your advertisements (Link Ads) riding on top of them. Share to social media, in emails, or anywhere you can share a link (URL). You can also do the same with many other content sources. You can generate Enhanced social posts of multiple Tiktok or Youtube videos with RiteBoost Bulk Creator or single posts, and you can do the same with single posts from Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, and nearly any blog or news site.
Note that the advertisement does not actually appear in native Tiktok, and not with the Tiktok link. It does show on top of their video when someone clicks your rite.ly URL, Thus, the thing to do is share your rite.ly links in social posts, emails, etc., and attract by the premium content, the top Tiktokers' stuff you share - and advertise on top of it. What's more, if you pay for Rite.ly, use a custom subdomain (search our help for the how-to), you will find that you can post plain-vanilla content (e.g. not diet, crypto, gambling, etc. that FB blocks) - but advertise what you need to in what you do with the Rite.ly Link Ads.
Note that for links shortened with Rite.ly, Facebook and LinkedIn will not accept them. This is beyond our control; FB and LinkedIn are now blocking all short links created of full URLs. So, if using RiteForge, RiteBoost for scheduling posts, we suggest that you do not shorten links for posts you schedule to LinkedIn or Facebook. If just using Rite.ly, even with custom subdomain, please use them in Tweets, emails, IG comments - and everywhere else - just not in FB or LinkedIn.
Not just for Tweets or FB posts, but IG, Snapchat, Tiktok, Vimeo and Youtube videos as well.
Here is an example of a Tweet in which we advertise on a Charli D‘Amelio Tiktok video — the most followed social media influencer on Tiktok.
To understand the effect, click the Rite.link URL in that Tweet.
Note that the brand logo in the lower-right is something you would replace with your logo or one of your clients’ logos. You can set the logo per link ad — and brands are unlimited with Rite.ly. Thus, you control where people land when they click the Link Ad button, but you also control the logo, and this clicks through to wherever you want as well!
How the Tweet appears in Twitter:
The only “call to action” on the page is the Link Ad!
Here's a Tweet demonstrating Rite.ly on Tiktok (semi-NSFW): see this if you dare.

TIPS:
For Tiktok, there is currently no way to get a Tiktok video URL on desktop, so you will need to find and email yourself Tiktok videos from your phone. (This may soon change, as Tiktok is evolving rapidly.) Android users can get the Android RiteForge or RiteBoost app and use the share menu from a Tiktok or other video to Enhance and send/schedule posts with their Link Ad riding on top of the Tiktok/other videos directly from their phone/tablet.
It's also very good to use Rite.ly Image Link Ads on Snapchat, IGTV (Instagram videos), Youtube videos or any videos.
We recommend image Link Ads. Note that animated GIFs can be used as images for images Link Ads.
The RiteKit Package is best, as it allows for 45,000 Link Ad views per month, and includes Rite.ly and also a large tier of RiteForge, for your social post scheduling, publishing, and Enhancing (auto-hashtag, auto-emojis and much more, as per your customization of Enhance). The Package also includes the RiteBoost automation dashboard and browser extension, as well as your hashtag generation anywhere tool, RiteTag. See this comprehensive help page on everything included in the RiteKit package, how it replaces Buffer Premium, Snip.ly Business, and MeetEdgar.
You will need to install the RiteForge browser extension from the bottom of our site, getting the extension for your preferred browser. Search our help for instructions for using the Chrome extension code on many other browsers.
Have your default Rite.ly Link Ad set in your default Enhance.
Find a Tiktok video on your phone and Android users can either complete the process by using the Share Menu to share to RiteForge or RiteBoost, and share the Enhanced post or, iOS or Android users can email themselves the link.
Open the Tiktok link on your desktop.
Click your RiteForge browser button to Enhance a social post of the page. You can modify the post and you can click the Rite.ly in it to see which ad you are using, and can change to another ad.
