You need at least 10,000 followers to apply. This is the baseline metric TikTok uses to determine if you have an established audience.
How long does it take? With consistent posting (3-5 videos/day), most creators hit 10K followers in 2-4 months.
Your videos must have accumulated at least 100,000 views in the past 30 days. This shows TikTok that your content is engaging and getting organic reach.
Pro tip: This is calculated on a rolling 30-day basis, not calendar month. Your views from day 31 drop off, so you need consistent viral content.
You must be at least 18 years old to join the Creator Fund. TikTok verifies this through your account birthday or ID verification.
As of 2025, the Creator Fund is available in these countries:
Note: You must have a bank account in one of these countries to receive payments.
Your content must be:
TikTok Creator Fund pays $0.02 - $0.04 per 1,000 views.
100K views/month: $2-$4/month
1M views/month: $20-$40/month
10M views/month: $200-$400/month
100M views/month: $2,000-$4,000/month
Reality check: Creator Fund alone isn't enough to quit your job. Most successful creators use it as one of many income streams (sponsorships, affiliate links, products).
The #1 way to hit 10K followers and 100K views faster is posting frequency. Aim for 3-5 videos per day.
Automation tip: Use AI tools like eztok.ai to create videos in 5 minutes instead of hours. This lets you scale to 5-10 videos/day easily.
Don't reinvent the wheel. Copy what works:
TikTok's algorithm rewards videos with high completion rates. Keep videos 60-90 seconds and hook viewers in the first 2 seconds.
Hook examples: "Wait for #3...", "This changed my life...", "Nobody talks about this..."
