TikTok Creativity Program Beta | What You Need To Know

Introduction

There's a lot of hype around TikTok's new Creativity Program Beta, with creators reportedly earning significantly more than before by producing longer content. If you're eager to understand how to qualify and succeed within this program, read on to find out the common questions and answers surrounding it.

Eligibility Criteria

The foremost requirement is that your videos need to be over one minute long. Videos of 59 seconds won't cut it. The program only rewards unique viewers who watch your content for at least five seconds—views from the same IP or device won’t be counted again.

Original Content

TikTok emphasizes the importance of original content. This means no stitches, no duets, and preferably music from TikTok or Capcut. Using copyrighted material such as clips from movies, sports, or popular music can risk your content being flagged as unoriginal. Sticking to videos that feature your own footage or voice-over with stock b-roll and effects from Capcut is the safest bet.

Eligible Countries

As of now, the TikTok Creativity Program Beta is available in the USA, France, and Brazil. While there have been instances of users from other countries being able to participate, these seem to be anomalies or part of a very slow, unpublicized rollout.

Transition from Creator Fund

If you're a part of the Creator Fund but want to join the Creativity Program Beta, note that it is a one-way transfer. Once you switch, you cannot return to the Creator Fund on the same account. However, a workaround is to manage two separate TikTok accounts—one in each program—if you're adept at building a following.

Post-Qualification

If you qualify for the beta—which requires 10,000 followers and 100,000 views over the last 30 days, being over 18, and having an account in good standing—you can find the application in the same menu as the Creator Fund. TikTok will usually notify you via an in-app message, or you may see the option in your settings.

More Questions?

Given its beta status, there's still a lot unknown about the TikTok Creativity Program. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out in the comments section. I also have a series of videos on TikTok covering this topic extensively, which might provide further insights.
