Based on current research and fraud data, the percentage of TikTok money-making offers that are genuinely solid and accurate is extremely low—likely in the single digits or less. Here's what the data shows:
Misleading Financial Content Dominates
Approximately 70% of financial advice on social media platforms (including TikTok) is misleading or inaccurate, according to multiple studies analyzing thousands of "finfluencer" accounts

55% of people who actually acted on social media financial advice lost money—meaning more than half who followed the advice ended up worse off

Common TikTok money-making scams include:
"Money-flipping" crypto scams promising to turn $100 into thousands

www.southbendtribune.com
Dropshipping "courses" that cost thousands but deliver no real business
e.vnexpress.net

"Watch videos to earn money" schemes that steal data or install malware

Why "Get Rich Quick" Content Is Almost Always Fraudulent
Legitimate wealth-building typically requires:
Time (years, not days/weeks)
Real skills development
Capital investment with understood risk
No guarantees of returns
TikTok's algorithm rewards engagement over accuracy—so content promising "easy money," "$10k/month side hustles," or "secret methods" gets amplified precisely because it triggers emotional responses (hope, FOMO), not because it works

.
The Reality
While TikTok does host some legitimate business educators sharing real strategies (e.g., actual e-commerce operators discussing supply chain logistics), these creators:
Rarely promise quick riches
Disclose their actual timelines and failures
Don't sell "secret systems" for $497
Represent a tiny fraction of money-making content
Bottom line: If a TikTok offer promises fast, easy money with little effort or risk, it's almost certainly misleading or fraudulent. The percentage of truly solid opportunities in this space is likely under 5%—and even those require significant work, capital, and time that the videos rarely disclose. Real wealth-building doesn't go viral.
