AI Summary

This video provides a step-by-step guide for creators outside the UK to successfully monetize a UK TikTok account. It covers five critical mistakes to avoid, from using a local phone number to buying fake followers, and offers practical solutions like using the Gray app for payments and verifying identity without changing location.

[00:14]
Don't Add Nigerian Phone Number

Adding a Nigerian phone number to a UK TikTok account will flag the account. Use email only for account creation and communication.

[00:39]
Use Gray App for Payments

Do not add a local bank account. Use the Gray app to open a UK euro account, receive TikTok payments, then convert to local currency and withdraw.

[01:58]
Verify Identity Without Changing Location

When verifying with a Nigerian ID, keep your location set to UK. TikTok assumes you are a Nigerian living in the UK, so do not switch location to Nigeria.

[03:19]
Create Account in UK via Friend or Service

Have a friend or relative in the UK create the account, or pay a service (e.g., 5,000 naira) to create one. The location remains UK even when logging in from Nigeria.

[03:59]
Do Not Impersonate Anyone

Avoid using celebrity names or handles. TikTok flags impersonating accounts as fake, preventing monetization. Use original names or random ones.

[04:58]
Do Not Boost Followers

Buying fake followers or views violates guidelines. TikTok detects boosted accounts; only organic growth qualifies for monetization.

[05:25]
Check Account Health Before Applying

Use TikTok Studio's account check to ensure all videos comply with community guidelines. Delete any flagged videos before applying for monetization.

[06:09]
Increase RPM with Longer Videos

RPM (revenue per 1,000 views) is higher for longer videos. Aim for videos longer than 1 minute to maximize earnings.

To successfully monetize a UK TikTok account from outside the UK, avoid these five common mistakes: use email instead of a local phone number, use Gray for payments, verify identity without changing location, create the account in the UK, and never impersonate or buy followers. Focus on original, longer content for higher RPM.

[00:01] account to be demonetized. And if you have already been demonetized because of instruction that I'm about to give you in this video and reapply after the time they give you. And number one is don't add your Nigerian phone number to your

[00:14] UK account. Why will you add your Nigerian phone number to a UK Tik Tok account? You must not add phone number. Once your account is created with email, use that email on the account. You can change email, but don't put your phone

[00:26] number. You cannot put a Nigerian number UK account and expect them to monetize the account or not know that you are not in the UK. And number two, when you're when you are monetized, they will ask you to put your payment method, which is

[00:39] your account number so that they can pay you your earnings every single month. Don't put your Nigerian bank account, your local bank account. That is that is Nigeria. If you're in Ghana, don't put your local bank account. If you're in

[00:51] any other country that is not UK, do not put your local bank account. Now, here don't know for other country, but this one is what works for Nigeria. Use Gray. There's this app called Gray. With this app, you can open a UK account. You can

[01:06] open a US bank account. You can open a a Euro, pound, like many currencies in the bank account you want. So, once you register with the app, you also open a

[01:19] Nigerian bank account in the app. You open a dollar account, euro account, pound account and all those bank accounts. The currency they use in UK is euro. So after opening your euro account, just copy account number, your

[01:31] bank name and everything and fill it in the information where Tik Tok asks you to put your payment details. Once your payment is made into the gray account, you can now convert it to Naira and send it into your local bank account from the

[01:43] gray app. That's how to withdraw your earnings. Don't add your local bank because they will know that this one this one is Nigeria this one Nigeria. many people make mistake during monetization. So after you monetize they

[01:58] will ask you to verify your identity with [music] your ID card your national ID card your driver's license or anything. So some people because they want to verify yeah you can verify with your Nigerian ID card [music] but when

[02:10] you want to verify they will ask you what location are you in. Some people Nigerian ID card, they will not change their location to Nigeria. [music] And change your location to Nigeria. Your location should be UK. It's as if you

[02:25] are living in UK but you still have your Nigerian uh ID card because if you travel to UK, they wouldn't [music] just give you a UK ID card or a UK um driver's license immediately. [music] So they will just assume you are living in

[02:38] the UK but you are a Nigerian Nigerian citizen. So you're just verifying your identity. Do not change your location while verifying your identity with your they ask for. Don't change your location. Just verify your identity and

[02:51] continue with number four, if you don't have any idea of how to grow and faceless content, I made a video about different ways you can grow and monetize videos. I'll put the link of the video

[03:04] so you can go watch it and learn how to grow your UK account with faceless account and you don't know how to go about it, easy. You can just ask any of your friends or relative that live in the UK to help you create a UK account.

[03:19] automatically a UK account. Once it's created in the UK and after they create the account, you can login in Nigeria or anywhere you are. The location will not change as long as the account was initially created in UK. That's how Tik

[03:33] the account and start posting your videos. Now, in case you don't know or have anyone in the UK, you can message us on WhatsApp with this number on your screen to help you create your UK account with just 5,000 naira. And once

[03:46] you DM us on WhatsApp, just go straight to the point and send us your email account will be created in less than 1 hour. 30 minutes to 1 hour, your account will be created. Let's get back to number four. Number four is do not

[03:59] impersonate anyone. Impersonation is maybe using someone's name. [music] Now, in the video where I taught you guys how to make faceless videos and grow your Tik Tok account, I told you guys if you want to post live videos of celebrities,

[04:14] show speed live videos and posting it on your UK account on Tik Tok, do not name that page I show speed or I show speed live or I show speed clip. No, don't put impersonating someone. Do not impersonate anyone because Tik Tok will

[04:30] flag the account as a fake account and you can't monetize a fake account. You have to be original. [music] So you can name it any random name or just make it a blog. Make it you. Like you can name it um just ask Charpt for a random name

[04:45] and then put maybe TV or live or something. Do not impersonate anyone. Once you see someone is already using this name and is a celebrity, do not use your account will be flagged and you can't monetize any videos from that

[04:58] account. And let me give you guys bonus. Do not boost your followers. [music] If you buy fake followers or you buy fake views or you post um any type of boosting, you boost your Tik [music] Tok account to reach 10,000 followers or to

[05:11] accept. Yes, they know when you boost your followers [music] because they are not fools. They have the app. They own the app. They know when you boost your guideline, it says that you cannot be monetized without organic followers or

[05:25] views. You have to actually [music] post videos. Tik Tok will suggest the videos and you'll be monetized. Number five is when you want to apply for monetization, go to account check in [music] your Tik Tok studio, go to account check. when

[05:39] checking all your videos to make [music] sure nothing is wrong with all your videos, all your videos, none of your videos um violates community guideline standard. If he shows your account is in good standard then you can apply but if

[05:54] good standard then you can apply but if it shows um this yellow sign or in good standard and if you apply your application will be denied. So what you you that that those videos are the reason why your account is not in good

[06:09] standard [music] go and delete those videos before applying for monetization. standard. Now bonus is if you want your RPM to be higher. RPM is the cost you get per,000 views. Let me say your RPM is 10 [music] cents. That means you get

[06:22] 10 cents per,000 views. And if you get 10,000 views you will get Now you already know that your videos have to be 1 minute long. But don't just make it 1 minute. like all your video is just 1 minute because Tik Tok pays more for

[06:35] videos that are long. If you post a 1 minute video and I post a 2 minute video minute video and I post a 2 minute video and we both get 100,000 views, my video and that means Tik Tok made more money from people watching my video than your

[06:48] own. And your RPM will also my RPM will also increase because my video has more video for a long period of time. Just make your videos longer. Post original content and make
