There’s always a new money-making opportunity you wish you’d been earlier to the game on. From Bitcoin in 2012 to crypto and NFT booms in 2021, opportunities keep evolving. Today, a new opportunity has emerged: TikTok’s Creativity Program. This initiative offers a billion dollars in payouts, and shockingly, not many people are talking about it yet.
By simply posting TikToks, you can earn anywhere from a few thousand dollars a month to $30,000 or even $50,000 monthly if your content gains traction. Let’s dive into how you can join this program, qualify, and start making money.
The TikTok Creativity Program: What Is It?
This program is different from TikTok’s Creator Fund. The Creator Fund paid creators a fraction of a penny per thousand views—essentially, pennies for viral content. In contrast, the TikTok Creativity Program pays around $1 per 1,000 views. That’s $1,000 per million views, an unprecedented payout for short-form content.
Why is TikTok offering this? With competitors like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Snapchat Spotlight, and even Twitter entering the short-form space, TikTok is fighting to retain creators and users. This program incentivizes creators to stay on TikTok and produce engaging content.
Real Results from Creators
Here are some examples of earnings:
- $652, $500, and $2,000 from individual TikToks.
- $730 for a TikTok with 1 million views.
- $1,200 for a TikTok with 2 million views.
- $1,000 for a TikTok with 878,000 views.
These numbers are achievable, and TikTok’s algorithm makes it relatively easy to go viral.
How to Qualify for the Program
To join the TikTok Creativity Program, you need to meet a few requirements. Here’s how to qualify and get around potential hurdles:
- Be 18 Years or Older:
- If you’re under 18, have a parent or older relative sign up with their information.
- Reside in the USA, France, or Brazil:
- If you’re outside these countries, collaborate with someone from these regions to set up your account.
- Have 10,000 Followers:
- This may sound daunting, but starting with a new account and using proven strategies makes it easier than you think.
- Achieve 100,000 Views in the Last 30 Days:
- This is manageable if you’re actively posting viral content.
Strategies to Succeed
Step 1: Choose a Niche
Pick a topic you’re passionate about or something trending. This helps create focused and engaging content.
Step 2: Create Content
You have two options:
- Film Your Own Videos:
- Pros: Build a personal brand and enjoy creative freedom.
- Cons: Requires time and experience.
- Repurpose Viral Content:
- Download previously viral videos, edit them, and repost. This strategy is highly effective and time-saving.
Step 3: Focus on Viral Content
Before worrying about earnings, focus on hitting the 10,000-follower mark. Post consistently and follow TikTok’s short-form content principles.
Step 4: Post Strategically
Once you qualify, post two 1-minute videos daily (to leverage the program’s payouts) and one shorter video to diversify content. For ideas, bookmark 1-minute videos you find on TikTok to inspire your own posts.
