FestivalInfluencer Network – Creator Program

What Is TikTok Creator Rewards Programme?

TikTok's Creator Rewards Programme (formerly Creator Fund) pays eligible creators based on video performance—views, watch time, engagement, and authenticity. For festival creators, this means you can earn money from your festival content beyond brand deals.

Current Eligibility Requirements (2026)

Account Requirements

**10,000+ followers**

**100,000+ video views in the last 30 days**

**18+ years old**

**UK-based account** (or other eligible country)

**Account in good standing** (no community guideline violations)

Content Requirements

Videos must be **longer than 1 minute**

Original content only—no reposts or compilations

Must comply with TikTok Community Guidelines

Content must be suitable for all advertisers (brand-safe)

Why Festival Content Is Perfect for Creator Rewards

Festival content naturally checks all the boxes:

**High engagement**: Festival content drives comments, shares, saves

**Longer format**: Easy to create 1-3 minute festival vlogs, reviews, tips

**Original content**: You're filming your own unique festival experience

**Repeat views**: People rewatch festival content for FOMO and planning

How to Maximise Earnings from Festival Content

1. Focus on Longer Videos

Creator Rewards favours videos over 1 minute. Festival content naturally lends itself to longer formats:

"Full festival day vlog"

"Festival survival guide"

"Best and worst moments ranked"

"What I packed for [Festival Name]"

2. Post Consistently

You need 100K views in the last 30 days to stay eligible. Post festival content year-round:

**Pre-festival**: Packing tips, ticket giveaways, lineup reactions

**During festival**: Live updates, daily vlogs, hot takes

**Post-festival**: Recap videos, "would I go again?", photo dumps

3. Drive High Watch Time

Creator Rewards prioritises watch time, not just views. Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds and deliver value throughout:

Use pattern interrupts ("But wait, this happened...")

Build narrative tension ("You won't believe what happened on Day 3...")

End with a strong CTA ("Comment which festival I should cover next")

4. Stay Brand-Safe

Avoid content that could limit monetisation:

Excessive profanity or explicit content

Dangerous behaviour or illegal substances

Controversial political statements

Graphic violence or disturbing imagery

Common Mistakes That Disqualify Festival Creators

**Using copyrighted music without clearance** → Videos get muted, views drop

**Posting only short clips** → Under 1 minute = no Creator Rewards earnings

**Inconsistent posting** → Falling below 100K views/30 days = lose eligibility

**Community guideline violations** → Instant disqualification

How Much Can You Earn?

TikTok doesn't publish exact rates, but creators report:

**1M views** = approximately £20-40 (varies by engagement quality)

**High-quality festival content** tends to earn on the higher end due to strong engagement

**Earnings are in addition to brand deals**—double monetisation opportunity

Action Steps to Qualify

1. **Check your current stats**: Go to Creator Tools → Analytics

2. **If under 10K followers**: Focus on growth strategies (trending sounds, niche content, consistent posting)

3. **If under 100K views/30 days**: Increase posting frequency and optimise for watch time

4. **Once eligible**: Apply via Creator Tools → Creator Rewards Programme

5. **After approval**: Focus on 1+ minute festival content with strong hooks

Creator Rewards turns your festival passion into passive income. Meet the requirements, create quality content, and let TikTok pay you for what you already love doing.
