Monetization = TikTok directly pays you a share of the ads / impressions of your videos. Many influencers do of course receive external compensation (YouTube requires a direct mention of such compensation in the video, not sure about TikTok's views.) TikTok's monetization can range depending on the types of ads they can put in front of your content (from personal experience, "family friendly" content gets much higher rates), but typically fall in the 2-3 cents per 1000 views range. So 1 million views ~ $25. But first you have to be approved as a monetizable partner, which usually requires a certain threshold of regular content production, views, etc.
