$100K/Month TikTok Video Downloader Website

SnapTik.app is a simple website that lets you download TikTok videos without the watermark.

According to SimilarWeb, the site gets about 60 million visits per month 📈

(They also have an Android app with 1M+ downloads)

The homepage of the website is available in ~20 different languages, and there’s little to it beyond that.

It’s monetized with Google Adsense display ads 💰

Using the official Adsense calculator, 60 million monthly page views in the Arts & Entertainment category works out to an estimated annual revenue of… 

• $4.2 million in Asia and Pacific Countries
• $4.0 million in North America
• $2.6 million in Europe, Middle East and Africa
• $1.6 million in South America

(Who else is surprised that North America isn’t the most lucrative market on the above list?)

SimilarWeb tells me that the majority of the site’s traffic comes from Asia, especially Indonesia 🌏

I think it’s safe to assume that it’s earning at least $100,000 per month from those display ads, or about $1.2 million a year 🤯

And I don’t think this is a case of first-mover advantage.

TikTok has been around since 2017 and already had 700 million users by May 2020, which is when the SnapTik.app domain was registered.

So I doubt they were the first TikTok video downloader out there.

I’m guessing they got traction by doing a few things…

• Keeping their site super-simple and easy to use
• Having an app on Google Play
• Building backlinks for SEO

Easier to do the last one after doing the first two.

They’ve got links from posts on high-authority sites like…

• Hootsuite: 4 Easy Ways to Remove the TikTok Watermark
• PCMag: How to Download TikTok Videos (Without a Watermark)
• Sprout Social: How to stitch on TikTok and 7 tips for making them great

Those links may have happened organically, or someone at SnapTik could have been actively reaching out to sites and asking for a link 🔗

However they got them, those links are likely the #1 reason SnapTik now ranks high on Google for terms like…

• tiktok downloader
• download tiktok video
• remove tiktok watermark
