Frequently Asked Questions
If your RPM is $0.01, you are likely still in the old Creator Fund or your audience is primarily from non-monetized regions (Tier 3 countries). Switch to the Creativity Program Beta immediately.
TikTok pays for Qualified Views (unique views watched for 5+ seconds). Likes and comments do not directly generate revenue, but they boost reach, which leads to more views.
With a $1.00 RPM, you need 1,000,000 qualified views per month. In the sponsorship model, a micro-influencer with 20k followers could make $1,000 with just 2 brand deals.
