Who can join Creator Rewards
TikTok's rules for the program are short:
- You're at least 18.
- You have at least 10,000 followers.
- You've had at least 100,000 views in the last 30 days.
- Your account is a personal account in good standing, in a country where the program runs.
- The videos are original and over one minute long.
Why two creators with the same views earn different amounts
TikTok weighs qualified views by things like where viewers are, how long they watch, how original the video is and how much people search for it. That's why the rate per 1,000 views moves from video to video, and why longer, searchable how-to videos tend to pay better than trend clips.
The money beyond Creator Rewards
For most creators the program is the smallest cheque. Brand deals, affiliate links (including TikTok Shop), and sending viewers to an email list you own can each beat it by a wide margin. Views you can't email are views you rent.
