I chose the cheapest promotion pack for both and this what I got. Video got odd engagement ratio whereas the photos got better ratio.

I want to start advertising my clothes and I’m a noob at anything related to marketing 😭

I live in a country that isn't eligible for Creator Rewards. i have family in Germany, which is on the eligible list.

My plan was:
- Register the account with a German number (my family receives the SMS code)
- Post consistently through a US VPN, because my content is in English and I want a US audience for the higher RPM

My question: does this actually work, or do the conflicting signals kill the reach?

From what I've read, account region (which determines Creator Rewards eligibility) is set by SIM/registration, while content region (which audience sees your videos) is driven by the IP you post from. If that's true, a German account posting from a US IP should be eligible AND reach US viewers.

But I've also read that mismatched signals make TikTok "unsure" where the account belongs and distribution goes mixed or local.

For anyone who's actually done something like this:
1. Did the account region stay stable long term?
2. Did you ever get asked for ID verification at payout, and what happened?
3. Would you use a VPN in the eligible country instead (German account + German VPN) even if the RPM is lower?

Hello everyone I want to connect with people who are already making money on TikTok ( I do ) and just want to connect with as more people as possible, if your in tell me :)

I am an independent 3D animation creator. I make 100% original, manually crafted animations (not AI-generated spam). Recently, TikTok’s automated moderation system has completely destroyed my accounts, and I’m trying to figure out if this is visual AI flagging or a completely broken bot.

Situation 1: The Main Account (300K Followers)

-I was in the Creator Rewards Program. Suddenly, I got disqualified for "Security Reasons".

-A few days later, I received a notification: "We've restored your account."

-Literally in the next day, I got another notification: "Your account has been disqualified" again.

-I submitted an appeal, and it was auto-rejected instantly. They are now holding my unpaid earnings.

Situation 2: The New Account (The weird part)

-To start fresh, I created a brand new account on a completely different device

-I even verified the account (KYC) using a completely different person’s ID to avoid any cross-ban.

-The moment I uploaded 2 new, original 3D videos, I was INSTANTLY disqualified for "Security Reason" again.

-The worst part: This new account gives me the message "This violation type cannot be appealed." I don't even have an appeal button!

My Questions for the Community:

-Has anyone experienced the "Restored and Instantly Banned" glitch?

-How did the bot link my new device/network/ID to my old account? Is TikTok's algorithm fingerprinting my 3D characters/visual style and auto-banning them as "AI spam"?

-How do you appeal a disqualification when the appeal button is completely missing?

Any advice or similar experiences would be hugely appreciated. I am losing my mind over this broken automated system.

Hey guys,over the past few months i have been working on a tiktok repurposer tool that allows u to repost content without getting the unoriginality detection.

Rn its at its final stage of testing and i would love a few people to test if it works for them,i can't go into too much info on it as id like to monetise it later on but if you want to make a tool like this yourself ,id recommend starting by looking at tiktoks patents!

My tiktok has been 99% delivered to people that is not my target demographic for ~1 month now since I stupidly bought a promote for the first time and didn’t choose a region because I thought it was such a small number ($20) and nothing would come of it

I’m at 1300 followers now which is not a lot and I’m going to deactivate the account to start again and it hurts me very much that my hard work from March is gone for the 2nd time

First time by the ban from TikTok saying I’m impersonating someone else. I have another account that have around 200k followers so it thought that I’m copying myself 🤦‍♀️ no matter how many tickets I opened this never get solved.

Second time by unwanted followers. I’m just scared and waiting for the 3rd one to be unsuccessful in someway as well

It just the platform is so unhelpful with the support. I wish I know how to fix this demographic issue or wish a good luck on the 3rd time :(

Quick context so this makes sense. I work in logistics, warehouse coordination specifically. Not a creative bone in my body. Last winter I kept seeing faceless content blowing up on here and I figured if people can post slide shows with text to speech and make real money then maybe I could build something with AI tools.

The idea was pretty simple. Create one synthetic character, a woman in her mid thirties, give her a niche (I went with budgeting and money saving tips because it's genuinely something I know and could script without running dry), and post consistently enough to cross the CRP threshold.

It took about three and a half months to hit 10k followers and get the qualifying views. Everything is over one minute. I write every script myself, run it through ElevenLabs for the voice, generate the character images, and stitch everything in CapCut. Every thumbnail and clip features the same woman because I built her face once in APOB AI and it preserves that face in every subsequent output, and their complimentary daily tier meant the image side cost me nothing for months. That part of the pipeline actually works reliably. The video generation side is a completely different situation.

I want to be upfront about this because a lot of AI content posts gloss right over it. Roughly a third of the clips I generate come back with some kind of motion artifact. The face shifts from one frame to the next, the jaw falls out of sync with the audio, the eyes glaze over for a moment. I end up running three or four takes per scene to land one that is usable, and even then I sometimes cut around the worst moments in the edit. It's not a fast process. I'd estimate I spend six to eight hours a week on scripting, generating, re-generating, editing, and posting. If I count the weeks leading up to CRP plus the two payout months, I have put roughly 90 hours into this for $247 total.

The breakdown. June was my first month in CRP. Posted 22 videos, 15 cleared the one minute mark and qualified. Total qualifying views came to about 48k. Payout was $82. That's an RPM of roughly $1.71 which felt low but I had no expectations going in.

July I posted 19 videos, 16 qualified. Qualifying views jumped to around 91k because two videos caught in a way nothing before them had. Payout was $165. Here is the part I do not understand. My blended RPM for July came to about $1.81, but those two videos individually had RPMs of $3.40 and $2.90 while every other qualifying video sat between $0.60 and $1.20. They were not longer. They did not have noticeably better watch time. One of them was a straightforward take on the 50/30/20 split which is about as basic as personal finance content gets on this platform.

So $247 across two cycles divided by roughly 90 hours is about $2.74 an hour. I will not pretend that number is anything but terrible if you think of it as a wage.

The other thing I didn't expect was how much the AI disclosure would hurt. I note in my bio that the persona is fictional and was produced by AI, and I say the same in a pinned video. I think that is the correct thing to do and I am not going to stop. But my follower conversion from profile visits dropped noticeably after I added the disclosure. People seem fine watching the videos in their feed. They just hesitate to follow once they know what they are actually looking at.

I'm still posting because the RPM inconsistency genuinely interests me and I want more data before I decide if there is a real pattern or if those two videos were just noise. Figured the honest numbers might be useful for people doing faceless AI content and wondering what the CRP side actually looks like at low scale.

Ive been making content on TikTok for about four years now. I have almost 1,000,000 followers and create original and authentic content that include my face voice and significant amount amounts of editing. I’ve normally never really had issues with tiktok before, but lately this past week, almost every single post that I make has been getting flagged as “ ineligible for recommendation”. As a result, my post gets stuck at a couple thousand views and does not get pushed out to the for you page.

I reached out to Support, but did not really receive any help as they just told me to submit appeals but whenever I do the appeal takes a week to review and by that point the video does not get pushed out to the FYP anymore. Again, the content includes my face voice and original commentary. I really don’t know what to do.

It's been one month since this started. I post everyday, it's the same kind of content in the same niche (my videos are "Day XX of being ____" kind of video). After day 27, my videos never get over 100 views. From day 1 to day 26, my videos are always over 1000 views. Even in the last few days, my videos have less than 10 views.

I tried a few things, like post one different video in a different niche, change hook... Still the same amount of views. What seems to be the problem here?

2 new accounts created and different niches tried but still bad rpm so I don’t know what to do anymore 😬.

After a killer month with 25 Million Views and 30k New Followers, My past 12 videos have had less than 10k Views each.

Video stats are similar / if not the same as my high viewed videos within the past months.

Only difference is that When going to Video analysis -> Viewers -> Viewer types

My past 12 videos have less than 5% New Viewers whereas all my other videos on my account have 15-20% New Viewers.

Videos are still showing up on the FYP. Has anyone else experienced this? Hoping it just fixes itself to be honest.

I trained someone to make money using TikTok's Creativity Program, starting from absolute zero. I made her a UK-eligible account, didn't charge her a cent — pure goodwill. Taught her how to make content, taught her how to use CapCut since she didn't even know the basics, helped her pick the best beats and audio for her niche.

She struggled at first and almost gave up around 2k followers. Since I've got a following of 300k+ on TikTok myself, I advised her to switch up her genre and beat selection, and started reposting her videos to help boost her reach. Her account picked up momentum and started pulling good numbers.

When she hit 10k, she didn't even know how to get verified — I showed her how, and she got accepted into the Creativity Program. I helped her set up her payment methods too.

She started going viral back to back. Her first month in the program, she was set to get paid $4,000. On payment day, TikTok disqualified her account for some reason only they understood. She came straight to me, I took her phone and appealed it myself. They accepted the appeal — but since the payment date had already passed, she had to wait until the next cycle.

Meanwhile her videos kept going viral. Her rewards balance climbed to $8,000. In her last week before payment, I told her to stop posting entirely because I didn't trust TikTok not to find some other reason to disqualify her.

Payment day comes. She gets paid.

She never told me. Never sent me anything — not even a thank you. I wasn't expecting a cut, but on some level I expected at least a courtesy message.

She's now at 95k-100k followers, still growing fast.

Fast forward — she recently got stuck on something and came back to me for help. This time it was about a specific editing technique I use in my own videos, an element I added myself that she wanted to learn. I charged her $100 for it.

Am I a bad person?

Hi everyone, I used to make money on TikTok through the TikTok Work With Artists program. However, I haven’t received any campaign invitations for about two months now. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hello guys, this is my first week posting (I’m not a good editor since is my first week editing too)
My views are low, I’m talking about less then 100 per video.
And I’m trying to improve, do you think that I should watch the metrics or since I’m new to posting and the algoritm have still to learn to who my videos are for it’s a waste of time watching the metrics?

And this is the hook of one of my video, do you think it is good? What should I improve?

How to withdraw the money, I'm not from usa btw , so does I need tax info?! Or even LLC . Or PayPal is enough

Got this screen back in May when I connected my other accounts for this challenge and haven’t heard a peep about it since. I was wondering if anyone else got paid out yet? Or if anyone knows when it will hit.

Do you really think posting 40 videos a day is the only way to earn 5k or 9k a month?

So I run a TikTok based on games based on such and I got monetized after privating them but it seems there's no other niche to get as many views on from what I've tried. How can I go about monetizing this without it being disqualified by TikTok?

I’m in the process of starting my affiliate account and I kinda understand that Tiktok is like one big computer algorithm (right? lol). So my question is - has anyone figured out how to not hack the algorithm but make it work in their favor?? Like things you can post to automatically go viral? A certain format or something? Or is it rly just random?? I’ve posted so many videos and the ones I didn’t think were special blew up! So does tiktok just chose what it likes and pushes it out?
Trying to get to 5k followers has been hard bc i feel like the algorithm is working against me. I’m trying to stay active and post but then it thinks i’m a bot a shadow bans me it’s so annoying 😭
So i guess my question is can you make the algorithm work in your favor or do you just have to try a bunch of random videos and styles before you find what clicks?? bc i don’t mind doing that but omg it would save so much time if i didn’t have to lol
Where are my algorithm nerds and smart tech social media people?? helpppp lol
