How To Join The TikTok Creator Fund (Signing Up & Getting PAID)

Introduction

Hey fellow creators, it's Joseph here. Welcome back to another video! Recently, there's been a surge of questions about TikTok's Creator Fund Program and the intricacies of signing up. To address this, today I’ll walk you through the entire application process. This guide will detail everything you need to know about getting started with the TikTok Creator Fund.

Before we get into it, I’ve released another video on my channel sharing my opinions on the TikTok Creator Fund Program. This is essential viewing as it discusses both benefits and drawbacks, what content TikTok is likely to pay more for, and pitfalls to avoid when you’re starting with the Creator Fund Program. With that noted, let's dive in!

Eligibility Requirements

Unfortunately, the Creator Fund isn’t a free-for-all; TikTok has set some criteria to ensure only eligible creators are part of the program:

  1. Pro Creator Account: You must have a pro creator account.
  2. Follower Count: You need at least 10,000 followers.
  3. Age Requirement: Must be at least 18 years old.
  4. View Count: You need at least 10,000 legitimate video views in the last 30 days.
  5. Geographical Location: Must be located in a supported country (as of this video: the US, UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain).

TikTok is gradually rolling this program out to more regions, so stay tuned if your country isn't listed.
