Hey guys it's Olivia and I'm back with another video.
So I haven't been in this location for the past couple of weeks; I've been out and about
in my car driving around and today I am back in my room filming a YouTube video.
So you guys have read the title; this week's video is going to be about TikTok.
So I have had a TikTok since it was Musical.ly; I started on the app in 2016 about a month after I started
this YouTube channel. Anyways, so I don't really talk about my TikTok very much on YouTube,
but I have 72,000 followers on TikTok and because of that TikTok now has a Creator Marketplace
where TikTokers can communicate with brands and potentially get sponsorship deals.
So because of my following I qualify to join this and I have qualified for a while
but I just never joined because I kept thinking of making a video of it and then never actually
filming that video, so that's what we're going to do today. But before we get into this week's video
be sure to subscribe to my channel because I make new videos every Monday. I make anywhere from
YouTube Tips videos, to Uber Eats Driver videos, to How To Make Money Online videos,
and with all that being said let's get into this week's video. So here is a screen recording of my phone,
this is my TikTok account, I'll just go through my stats real quick in case you're interested.
I'm following 40 people, I have 72,000 followers and I have 1.1 million likes.
And so I'm not going to lie I haven't been posting on TikTok as regularly as I used to.
Last summer I was literally posting every single day and then I took like months off
and now I'm trying to get back into it, but yeah. So to find out if you're eligible
to sign up for the Creator Marketplace, go to your account, go to Me on the bottom right,
then click the three lines in the top right. By the way you have to have a Creator account.
If I click Manage Account, as you can see I can switch to Business and before when you
just make an account you're going to have a Personal account, then switch to a Creator account.
So if you've done that, you click the 3 lines and then you click Creator Tools,
and then under monetization you have Creator Marketplace. So if I click that
then these are the requirements; you have to have over 50,000 followers you need to have received
5,000 video likes in the last 28 days, you need to be at least 18 years old,
and you need to create content that follows TikTok's community guidelines. So as you can see
I have checkmarks beside all of those things because I currently meet that standard.
So I'll just read their little spiel; "Connect with brands. TikTok Creator Marketplace
is the official platform for brands and creators to collaborate on TikTok. By joining TikTok
Creator Marketplace, you may receive invitations from brands on TikTok that are interested
in working with you." Another thing I want to say, they do have the TikTok Creator Fund
where you get paid solely based on the views, however, I'm in Canada and that is not available
in Canada yet. So the Creator Marketplace is the only way for me to currently monetize
my TikTok content. Anyways, so "By checking this box, you agree to Creator Terms and acknowledge
that you have read the Privacy Policy." So I check that box and then I'm going to click "Apply."
"Submitted! Thanks for applying to TikTok Creator Marketplace.
Your application is being reviewed and we'll notify you within the next 30 days." So if I click done,
then that's it for now I guess. Hi, future Olivia popping in real quick; it's about an hour later
and I have been approved. So if I go over to my notifications you can see that it says,
"Monetization: Congrats! Your application for TikTok Creator Marketplace was approved."
So then there's this little arrow so if I click that, "Advertisers will be able to search
for your account on TikTok Creator Marketplace now." Then if I click that again,
updated privacy policy; agree. "A beginner's guide to TikTok Creator Marketplace." There's opportunities;
"Try out Creator Marketplace. Explore how the creator collaboration works. Set up your profile.
Create a profile that pops and let the brands know about you."
And then there's the dashboard and everything is nil because I haven't done anything yet.
Ok, so if I go to creator account info; it has contact information, which I don't have yet 'cause I haven't set anything up.
And then it says Rate Set, so I can set my rate like, "Oh, for a 15 second video; this."
I think, I don't know. If I click Set, "You can revise your quote up to
2 times every 30 days. Starting from, enter an amount. The price is negotiable? Yes or no.
Free products accepted as payment? Yes or no." So that's stuff that I can fill out later.
Then if I go back to Opportunities and if I go to Set Up My Profile,
oh so that's when it's telling me to set all this stuff. And then if I go to Try Out Creator Marketplace, go.
"Explore brand collaboration opportunities. Opportunities tab is a place to explore monetization
campaigns launched in your country or region and see brand collaboration opportunities
under each campaign. Brands will connect with you if you match their objectives."
So Direct Invitations, it's giving an example, "These brands directly invited you to be in their campaign."
And then it shows how much they're offering you. Then next. "Get updates and take action.
Campaign updates show you the progress of each campaign and list all the
campaigns requiring action." So, "Campaign title. Videos can be uploaded after you
and the brand have finalized campaign details." Next. "Access the all-in-one dashboard.
Dashboard contains all the tools and resources you need to effectively track campaign status,
manage your account, check out tips & tricks, and get support." And that seems to be everything.
So when I start completing things this is what it will show up as; campaigns that are pending,
aka ones I have to accept or deny, how many I've completed, how many I'm in the process of doing,
and then how many inactive ones. And then click done. And that seems to be everything.
So yeah, that is that; I need to start setting my rates and setting up my account,
give brands a way to contact me, all that stuff. Then if a brand likes
the content I make and they think that my audience might be a customer of their product,
then they might reach out to me, offer me a certain amount of money for a video,
and there we go. So yes, I am now a part of the TikTok Creator Marketplace. Once I start getting requests,
assuming I do; fingers crossed, then I don't know if I'm allowed to, like,
disclose amounts of how much I make; because from what I've heard from, like, other creators
both like on YouTube and TikTok, you're not allowed to disclose specific amounts.
However, I think that I can show you guys the process of like accepting an offer, and like the making of the video,
and posting it, and whatever whatever. So if I get a request from a brand
that will be a separate video and I will talk about basically how to complete a request
from a brand if it is in fact a brand you want to work with. So that is all from future me,
1 hour in the future, and let's go back to past me. So yeah, I just wanted to show
you guys that there is a new way to monetize on TikTok that is accessible to a lot of people.
Because in my personal opinion it's not that hard to grow on TikTok. I would say
it's a lot harder to grow on YouTube than it is to grow on TikTok. I went from 7000 followers
to over 70,000 followers in 2 months. On YouTube I'm at 8000 subscribers and it's been 5 years.
So yes, technically I've been on TikTok/Musical.ly for 5 years, but I didn't start posting consistently
until last year. So for the first 4 years I had gotten 7000 followers just posting sporadically,
then I was like, "Ok, let me actually take this seriously," and then from the moment
I started taking it seriously my page blew up and I went from 7000 to 72,000.
Meanwhile with YouTube -- voice crack. Meanwhile with YouTube, I've been posting consistently since
the beginning and 8000 subscribers. Not that I'm mad at it; the fact that there's 8000
people who want to hear what I have to say every week, that is absolutely crazy.
But I'm just saying that the follower requirement for the Creator Marketplace is 50,000 followers
and I know it might sound like a lot, like if it was YouTube and they were like,
"Oh, you need 50,000 subscribers," I'd be like, "Wow, that's high; that's hard." But 50K on TikTok,
I know you guys can do it. If you guys are curious as to the type of content I make on TikTok,
I do Transition videos. Here is an example. ♪ What's new, Scooby-Doo? We're coming after you. ♪
♪ You're gonna solve that mystery. I see you, Scooby-Doo; The trail leads back to you. ♪
♪ What's new, Scooby-Doo? Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na ♪
And yeah, so that's all for this week's video I hope you enjoyed it, if you did give it a thumbs up.
