How Do I Get Into the TikTok Creativity Program? A Creator’s Journey to Success

One evening, I was scrolling through videos on TikTok. I was watching videos of different types, including dance and funny ones. Then, suddenly, I stopped at a video in which a creator was showing off his earnings through TikTok Creator Funds that he had earned.

I was astonished to see the video in which it was being told how you can earn money from TikTok by making videos. I thought and started searching, so how can I join this program?

When I started working on this, I found out that it was not an easy thing to do, and I learned a lot along the way. If you want me to tell you my story in detail about how I joined TikTok Creative Funds and how you can do the same, then keep reading this article.

What Is the TikTok Creativity Program, Anyway?

Before I started, I had no idea what the TikTok Creativity program was. At first, I thought it was probably a new name for the old Creative Funds. But later I found out that this is a new version of Creator Rewards Funds, which you might call the Creator Rewards Program in some places.

Launched in February 2023, it is a new way for TikTok to pay creators for creating original videos within a minute. TikTok says that you can earn 10 times more in this program than in the old version, which is great to hear, but there are many requirements that need to be met. How much content do you have to create to get this program from TikTok to join?

Checking If I Was Eligible

When I started applying, I was nervous. I was wondering if I was eligible for it or not. So I opened my TikTok and went to my profile. After that, I went into the Creator’s Tools and looked at the criteria to see what the requirements were for it. I will tell you step by step what I found.

• Location: If we talk about the location, which countries are there where this option is available, then these include the US, UK, France, South Korea, Germany, Japan and Brazil. You can join this option in these countries.
• Age: The second step is your age. If you are under 18 years old, you cannot join. In South Korea, those under 19 years old cannot join, so you must be over 18 years old or over 19 years old.
• Followers: And if we talk about followers, then at least your account should have 10,000 followers. If you have that many followers on your account, then this is a clear step up.
• Views: And if we talk about views, your videos should get about 100,000 views within a month. If 100,000 views are coming within 30 days of your upload, then you have crossed this step as well.
• Account Type: Only personal accounts qualify, not business ones.
• Account Status: Your account must follow TikTok’s Community Guidelines.

If you meet all these requirements, you can join. Your chances of joining this program have increased.

The Application Process: What I Learned

When you have cleared all these eligibility marks, the way to apply is straightforward.

1. Open TikTok: I tapped my profile, hit the menu (three lines), and went to “Settings.”
2. Find Creator Tools: Under “Creator Tools,” I saw “Creator Rewards Program” (or “Creativity Program” if you’re still in beta regions).
3. Follow the Prompts: TikTok guided me through a form. I confirmed my eligibility, agreed to the terms, and added details about my content. They also asked for ID verification to confirm my age and identity.
4. Submit and Wait: After submitting, I got a “We’re reviewing your application” message. It took about a week for approval, but some creators wait longer.

Tips: Before applying, check your accounts again to see if there are any videos with violations in your accounts that could cause your application to be rejected. Then, clean up your accounts completely before applying so that you don’t face any kind of reaction.

Growing Audience to Meet the Requirements

As I told you, there are many requirements to join this program, some of which are that your accounts should have about 10,000 followers and 100,000 views within a month, so this is not easy. I will tell you some steps, by following which you can fulfil these requirements.

• Post Consistently: It is very important for you to be consistent if you want to increase your followers and views. You have to post daily videos with a routine. If you post two videos daily, your account will grow slowly.
• Engage with Comments: Engage with the people who are commenting on your videos. Respond to your viewers’ comments. This way, you and your viewers will connect, and TikTok will also get a signal that you are interested in it.
• Use Trending Sounds: Uploading trending sounds and your videos increases your chances of going viral. Before uploading videos, you can check which music is trending by going to the TikTok sound option. Try to create your videos based on that.
• Create Longer Videos: Since the program rewards videos over one minute, I started making 1–2-minute tutorials. My “How to Make a Smoothie” video hit 50,000 views because it was engaging and useful.

By following these steps, you can grow your account with the best edited videos. Which will help you meet your requirements.

What to Expect After Joining

If this application of some creators is approved and they are made eligible to join this program, they get excited that now our earnings will start, but TikTok pay on RPM, how much money will you get for one thousand views?.

Some people make only 200$ for five hundred thousand views, which is not life-changing, but some creators say that we earn one 1000$ dollars within a month. It depends on your niche and how you consist.

Conclusion:

Joining TikTok’s Creative Program is not just about making money; but its joy is also the result of your hard work. If you are ready to join, then you must check your eligibility, grow your audience, create original and high-quality content, make engaging videos, be patient, and keep working with consistency. With all these requirements and a little hard work and effort, you can join this program. Good luck.
