TikTok Creator Fund! I applied and got accepted. Whats next

Introduction

Welcome back to my channel! My name is Quincy, and I’m here to guide you through some valuable tips and tricks on social media. Lately, we’ve been diving deep into TikTok, and today I want to share my experience applying for the TikTok Creator Fund. After its initial $ 200 million allocation, TikTok has upped the ante to a whopping $ 2 billion to support creators like you and me.

I applied for the TikTok Creator Fund on August 18, 2020, which was the day it became available nationwide. It was an exciting moment for many creators eager to earn money while doing what they love—creating TikToks! TikTok launched this fund to compete with YouTube, and people were thrilled at the prospect of getting paid for content creation.

Requirements to Apply

Before diving into my experience, let's clarify the requirements to apply for the TikTok Creator Fund:

You must be at least 18 years old.
You need to have a minimum of 10,000 followers.
You should accumulate at least 10,000 views across all your videos within the last 30 days.

If you're gearing up to apply, whether you are 18 or will be soon, keep creating content that is positive, inspirational, and trending. By the time you meet these requirements, you’ll be set for success.

My Application Experience

A friend of mine recently applied for the TikTok Creator Fund, and I had no idea that it was open for applications. As soon as I found out, I jumped at the opportunity. Much to my surprise, I was automatically accepted on the spot! I expected a standard application process where I'd hear back later, but the system recognized my eligibility on its own.

For those who haven’t applied yet: If you're currently under the age limit or haven’t met the views or follower requirements, don’t be discouraged! Continue to produce quality content—good lighting and engaging material can significantly boost your chances of meeting those criteria.

Accessing the Dashboard

Once I was accepted, I immediately logged into my TikTok account to check my creator fund dashboard. Although my balance was initially zero (since I had just signed up), it provided me with important information about how and when I would start earning:

Earnings Calculation Timeline: Balances are calculated three days after video views occur. This means if you post a video today that gains views, you’ll see potential earnings reflected three days later.
Monthly Cash-Out: You can withdraw earnings approximately 30 days after the month in which they are awarded.

As a creator, it’s crucial to maintain good standing in your account, post original content, and meet eligibility requirements to keep earning.

How Funds are Calculated

Many creators are curious about how their funds are calculated. Here are several factors that influence your earnings:

Region of the viewer: Are they watching from the U.S., or are they in another region?
Video engagement: Higher engagement can lead to better earnings. Engaging back with your audience can increase this.
Authenticity: Legitimate views matter. Fake views won’t count towards your earnings.

In summary, TikTok is a platform filled with opportunities, especially now during the ongoing pandemic where content consumption is high. By focusing on creating engaging, quality content, you can maximize your chances of success!

I plan on making another video once I see my first deposit. If you’re thinking about applying, are you waiting to see how much I earn before applying? Share your experiences in the comments!
