How To Make VIRAL Motivational Content For The TikTok Creator Rewards Program

Introduction

If you've yet to discover TikTok, you might be living under a rock. The platform has exploded in popularity, boasting over 1 billion active monthly users. As part of their Creator Awards program, TikTok pays creators based on the views their videos accumulate. Many content creators, including myself, have leveraged this opportunity to earn thousands of dollars each month from social media.

The Motivation Niche: A Lucrative Option

My most successful TikTok account reached over 500,000 followers in just six months by posting motivational content. Although that account was unfortunately banned due to unoriginal content, it opened doors for diverse income streams, including sponsorships and info products related to the motivational niche. Many content creators in this space build a loyal audience and monetize it effectively.

In this article, I'll guide you through creating viral motivational videos, helping you build an audience quickly and explore avenues for earning money across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Requirements for TikTok Creator Awards

To get paid through TikTok's Creator Awards program, you must meet specific criteria: 10,000 followers and 100,000 video views in the past 30 days. While gaining views is relatively easy, reaching the follower count can take several weeks as you post content and aim for viral status. Until you join the program, your videos won't generate any income.

An alternative pathway to earn from day one is to purchase pre-monetized TikTok accounts. Platforms like Tik Accounts offer TikTok Creator Awards program pages, TikTok shop pages, and YouTube accounts.

Creating Motivational Videos

Motivational content is highly popular, which means your videos need to stand out. The most viral motivational clips typically contain a common essence. To mitigate unoriginality flags, use a variety of clips in one video with your unique editing style.

Here’s how to get started:

1. Sourcing Clips: Use platforms like Wondershare Filmora for editing your videos. Screen recording is a good option if you are using a mobile device. Popular motivational speakers like Tony Robbins and Les Brown often provide usable content. Aim for clips that are 7 to 10 seconds long.

2. Background Music: Select accompanying music for your clips. I’ve compiled a list of motivational audios that you can access in the description below, for free.

3. Editing Process: Import your clips into the Filmora workspace. Set the aspect ratio to 9:16 for TikTok. The final video length should be around 60 seconds to qualify for revenue while staying under the limit for YouTube Shorts.

4. Stylizing Your Video: Develop a consistent branding style—black and white themes have worked well for me in the past. Apply different video filters, trim clips, and add transitions or effects as necessary.

5. Add Captions: Use Filmora’s AI feature to automatically generate captions in your preferred language, ensuring they stay viewer-friendly.

After meticulously editing your video and making final adjustments, export it and prepare to upload.

Multi-Platform Strategy

Don’t limit your content to TikTok. Cross-post your motivational videos on Instagram and YouTube Shorts. Long-form motivational content can also be shared on YouTube, with a different aspect ratio (16:9) while following the same principles for virality.

To maximize your income potential, diversify your revenue streams. Selling info products linked in your bio can significantly boost your earnings, alongside sponsorships and affiliate marketing.
