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

Welcome back, fellow creators! In this article, we will walk you through the entire application process for joining the TikTok Creator Fund program. There have been a lot of questions regarding the technicalities of signing up, so we are here to clear up any confusion. Before we begin, we recommend watching our video discussing the drawbacks, benefits, and important details about TikTok's Creator Fund program. Now, let's dive into the application process!

Step 1: Eligibility Requirements

Before you can participate in the TikTok Creator Fund program, there are a few eligibility requirements to keep in mind:

  1. Pro Creator Account: You need to have a Pro Creator account to apply for the program.
  2. Minimum 10,000 Followers: You must have at least 10,000 followers on your TikTok account.
  3. Age Requirement: You need to be at least 18 years old.
  4. 10,000 Legitimate Views: Your videos need to have at least 10,000 legitimate views in the past 30 days. Artificially inflating or manipulating your metrics will not count.
  5. Supported Countries: The program is currently supported in the US, UK, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. However, TikTok has plans to expand the program to more countries in the future.

Please ensure that you meet all these requirements before proceeding with the application process.

Step 2: How to Sign Up for the TikTok Creator Fund

There are two ways to submit your application for the Creator Fund program:

  1. Notification Stream: TikTok may send you a notification inviting you to join the program. Click on the notification and follow the instructions to apply.
  2. Pro Account Settings: Go to your account settings and navigate to the Pro Account section. Look for an option to join the Creator Fund program. Click on it and follow the prompts to apply.

If you don't receive an invitation or don't see the option to join the program in your settings, consider the following:

  • TikTok wants creators who bring originality to the platform. If your content heavily relies on trending songs or sounds, you may be less likely to receive an invitation. Focus on creating original visuals and audio to increase your chances.
  • Check your for you page exposure. If your content is primarily shown to your existing fan base and not reaching new audiences, TikTok may not prioritize your application. Ensure that a significant portion of your views come from the for you page.

Step 3: Understanding the Payout Process

Once you are accepted into the TikTok Creator Fund program, it's important to understand the payout process. Here are the key details to keep in mind:

  • Your Creator Fund dashboard may take up to three days to update with your views. Don't be alarmed if there is a delay in seeing your earnings.
  • Payouts typically occur at the end of every 30-day period.
  • The minimum threshold to receive a payout is $50. You won't be paid until your earnings reach this amount.
  • You need to link a valid payment method, such as a PayPal account, to receive your funds. If you have already linked a payment method through accepting donations or gifts during live streams, you do not need to link it again.

If you ever decide to leave the Creator Fund program, you can do so by clicking on the three dots on the dashboard and selecting "Leave TikTok Creator Fund." Keep in mind that you can rejoin the program the next day if you change your mind.
