“I Threw TikTok Money in the Bin” #details

Introduction

As a content creator on TikTok, it's crucial to understand the specific requirements for qualifying for the TikTok Creator Fund. Failing to adhere to these guidelines can lead to wasted efforts and lost revenue. Many creators are unknowingly throwing money down the drain simply because they don't realize how stringent the TikTok Creator Fund's criteria are.

My Earnings Breakdown

In the past year, I earned a substantial amount from the Creator Fund. However, this achievement came at the cost of 146 million qualified views. The term "qualified views" here means that users watched my videos for more than five seconds and didn’t mark them as "not interested." It’s also worth noting that views from profiles with suspicious activity or "hackers" are not counted.

TikTok's Content Preferences

TikTok aims to shift away from its reputation as an ADHD minefield, filled with content that is only a few seconds long. To achieve this, the platform has implemented stricter guidelines for videos to qualify for earnings from the Creator Fund.

  1. Video Length: To qualify, videos must be at least one minute long. Shorter clips do not qualify for the fund.

  2. Duets and Stitches: TikTok does not compensate creators for duets or stitches. Therefore, if you think you can earn money through collaborative content, you're in for a surprise.

  3. Sponsored Content: There are also limitations concerning sponsored content. If a video is marked as sponsored, it will not qualify for the Creator Fund. This means that TikTok discourages creators from receiving double payment for the same content.

  4. Reposts: Previously, reposting content could help creators qualify. However, TikTok now mandates that reposts must include creative changes to be counted.

In conclusion, if you're looking to earn from TikTok's Creator Fund, it's essential to carefully read through the requirements and understand these guidelines. Ignoring them can lead to lost opportunities and revenue.
