TikTok Creator Fund Requirements 2025: Complete Eligibility Guide

Detailed Requirements Breakdown

1. Follower Count: 10,000+

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.

2. Video Views: 100,000 in 30 Days

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.

3. Age Requirement: 18+

You must be at least 18 years old to join the Creator Fund. TikTok verifies this through your account birthday or ID verification.

4. Location Requirements

As of 2025, the Creator Fund is available in these countries:

• 🇺🇸 United States
• 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
• 🇩🇪 Germany
• 🇫🇷 France
• 🇮🇹 Italy
• 🇪🇸 Spain

Note: You must have a bank account in one of these countries to receive payments.

5. Content Guidelines

Your content must be:

• Original: No reposts, duets only, or content you don't own
• Compliant: Follows TikTok's Community Guidelines
• Authentic: No fake engagement (bought followers/views)

How to Get Accepted Faster

1. Post Consistently

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.

2. Follow Viral Formats

Don't reinvent the wheel. Copy what works:

• Top 5 lists
• Fun facts / Did you know?
• Storytime videos
• Controversial opinions
• Before/After comparisons

3. Optimize for Watch Time

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..."

FAQ

Can I apply multiple times if rejected?

Yes! You can reapply after 30 days. Use that time to improve your content and engagement metrics.

Do I need a business account?

No, personal accounts are eligible. However, switching to a Creator account (not business) gives you better analytics to track your progress.

How long does approval take?

Usually 2-7 days. You'll get an in-app notification when you're accepted or rejected.

Can faceless accounts get accepted?

Yes! Faceless channels are 100% eligible as long as the content is original. Many faceless creators earn thousands from the Creator Fund.
