How International Creators Access US Creator Rewards
Create a Fresh US Account
Your existing account's region is locked. You need a new account registered from a US IP. See our complete US targeting guide for device preparation steps.
Use a Residential VPN
TikTok detects datacenter VPNs. You need a residential VPN with real US home IP addresses. Connect before creating your account. Follow our VPN setup guide.
Warm Your Account
Spend at least 6 days acting like a normal US user before posting. Our account warming schedule walks you through day by day.
Build to 10K Followers
Post 1-minute+ original content. Use trending US sounds, post during US peak hours (6-10 PM EST). Check our viral guide for content strategies.
Apply for Creator Rewards
Once you hit requirements, go to Settings > Creator Tools > Creator Rewards Program. The option only appears for accounts TikTok believes are in eligible regions.
⚠️ Critical: Stay Consistent
Never access your US account without VPN. Never switch VPN locations. Many creators use a dedicated device that stays connected 24/7.
