How Many Followers on TikTok to Get Paid in the UK?

In the UK, TikTok creators can start earning money through various monetization methods once they reach a significant follower count and meet certain criteria. One of the primary ways to get paid on TikTok is through the Creator Fund, which requires creators to have at least 10,000 followers and 100,000 video views in the last 30 days. Additionally, you must be 18 years or older and have a TikTok account that complies with the platform's community guidelines.

Another avenue for monetization is through brand partnerships and sponsored content. The number of followers needed for these deals can vary widely depending on the niche, engagement rate, and the brand's requirements. Micro-influencers with around 5,000 to 10,000 followers can often attract brand deals if they have high engagement rates, while those with over 100,000 followers may command higher fees.

Live gifts and donations during live streams also provide an income source. TikTok users can send virtual gifts to creators, which can be converted into real money. The ability to receive gifts typically requires meeting the same eligibility criteria as the Creator Fund.

Here is a summary of the requirements and monetization methods:

Monetization Method	Follower Requirement	Additional Criteria
Creator Fund	10,000	100,000 views in the last 30 days, 18+, compliance with guidelines
Brand Partnerships	5,000 to 100,000+	High engagement rates, niche relevance
Live Gifts and Donations	No specific requirement	Must be 16+ to receive gifts (18+ for cashing out)

To maximize earnings on TikTok, focus on creating high-quality, engaging content and building a strong community. The more followers and engagement you have, the better your chances of securing paid opportunities and growing your income.
