Tiktok Creator Fund: What Do You Mean By Original Content

What's up, everyone? Today, we're diving into one of the most requested topics about TikTok: the definition of original content, especially if you want to join the TikTok Creator Fund and get paid. Here's everything you need to know to ensure your content qualifies as original.

Getting Paid on TikTok: The Basics

First off, a quick recap: TikTok’s Creator Fund is an awesome initiative paying creators for their content. While I can't tell you exactly how much you might earn, I can tell you that payments are made daily, albeit with a three-day delay. Hitting your numbers consistently is key to getting those payouts.

Qualifying for the TikTok Creator Fund

To access the TikTok Creator Fund, you must ensure you meet the following criteria:

  • Be at least 18 years old.
  • Reside in the U.S. (other countries coming soon).
  • Have at least 10,000 followers.
  • Accumulate at least 100,000 views in the past 30 days.

What Is Original Content?

The pivotal requirement to get paid is ensuring your content is original. But what does that mean?

  1. Content Ownership: Your videos must be created by you. Simply uploading someone else's content—whether it’s a movie clip, a recorded sports game, or another person's video—won’t count.
  2. Trends and Creativity: While you can participate in trending challenges and dances, ensure you’re the one performing and interpreting those trends. TikTok supports creativity, whether you’re dancing, acting, or showcasing some other skill.
  3. Original Effort: You can use TikTok’s provided music and effects, but the effort and idea should be uniquely yours.

Key Takeaways

  • Ownership Matters: Only upload videos that you created and own.
  • Participate in Trends: Engaging in trends is fine, but add your unique spin to it.
  • Have Fun: Enjoy the creative process. While getting paid is great, the authenticity and joy in your content will resonate most with your audience.

Conclusion

The essence of original content on TikTok lies in your creativity and willingness to produce unique and engaging videos. Focus on what genuinely entertains you and your audience, and the rewards will follow.
