Only qualified views on eligible videos earn rewards. Check the TikTok Creator Center for the current list, since thresholds and countries change.

What counts as a qualified view?
TikTok pays on qualified views, which exclude views from ads, repeated views by the same person and views under a minimum watch time, among other filters. In practice, videos that hold attention and are discovered on the For You page earn the most.
Why do videos have to be longer than one minute?
The program was designed to reward longer original content. A 20-second video can still grow your account, but it does not earn rewards. Many creators post short videos for reach and one-minute-plus videos for income.
How do you reach 10,000 followers on TikTok?
- Pick a niche viewers can recognise in the first two seconds of each video.
- Post daily for the first months; each video is another chance to land on For You.
- Reply to comments with video replies, which often travel further than the original.
- Study your analytics for average watch time and rewatch rate, and repeat the formats that hold attention.
A small follower base can make new visitors more willing to follow. If your content is consistent but the counter still looks empty, packs such as 1,000 TikTok followers help the profile look established. They do not count as qualified views, so the 100,000 views must come from real viewing. All sizes are on the TikTok followers page.
How do you get 100,000 views in 30 days?
Volume and retention. Twenty or thirty videos a month gives the algorithm many chances; strong hooks and tight editing keep viewers watching. Some creators add TikTok views to new uploads for social proof, but remember that purchased views are not qualified views for rewards.
