If you’re a regular TikTok poster, you might be wondering how you can start earning for the videos you upload. There are set guidelines you’ll need to meet in order to qualify.
If you’re creating regular video content and are securing high numbers of views, it’s not surprising you’d want to be paid for these views. TikTok have a Creator Fund which is used to pay high performing content creators.
However, the amount you earn really does depend on how often you’re creating content, and how many views and followers your videos are bringing in. Some large creators will earn a monthly income solely from TikTok.
It can be a risky decision because you’re never guaranteed to make the same amount each month, so if you have bills to pay, you can’t be certain how much you will earn. However, this isn’t too much of a worry for big earners because they’re still earning huge amounts.
TikTok’s Creator Fund has actually been renamed the TikTok Creator Rewards Program, but that’s quite the mouthful. To qualify for the program, you will need to be over 18 and have at least 10,000 followers. Your video views must be extremely high too.
100,000 views minimum to join TikTok’s program
You’ll need at least 100,000 authentic views in the last 30 days. This means you cannot use AI or a bot service to increase your video views. TikTok will know, as they have systems in place to stamp out this kind of behaviour.
It’s important to note also, your videos must be in line with TikTok’s community guidelines. You might notice some creators bleep out certain words they’re using while recording a video. This is because they could potentially be demonetised.
Like with YouTube, if you’re talking about sensitive topics, you’ll need to be careful with the words used because if the platforms pick up on it, your video will no longer earn money, despite the view count.
Any TikTok account wanting to enter the program will need to be a personal one. So, if you have a business account performing well, we’d advise turning it back into a normal personal account so you can apply for the funds.
