Thank you! Just made a TikTok business account and was wondering why I couldn’t add any of the good songs. If I want to use viral songs in my business videos down the road and have over 1000 followers should I switch to creator?
You're welcome! For Hammer and Home's TikTok, we switched back to Creator the minute we got to 1000. Although Creator is now Personal. And I made a video about that too btw :) th-cam.com/video/PLyM2n_RFKc/w-d-xo.html
this was very helpful I just created a new account to promote my Spotify and i had trouble finding trending sounds so appreciate you for making this video
Thank you so much for the info! It looks like TikTok removes favorite sounds though now because they caught onto this :( Is there another way to add trending sounds to a business account?
Question for you. Tiktok has gotten rid of the creator accounts and switched them to personal accounts. However, you can’t put a website link under a personal account and you could under a creator account. Is the only way to have a website link for your account to have a business account?
What is your accounts on personal but it’s public, because I still can use certain songs for trending songs and popular songs say it’s licensed, why so because I thought being on personal account is the creator tool , For example if I do go on business account even though I don’t sell business stuff will your Account to go Banned
Is the main idea to create a business account for the website link? Because I have a personal account And I still have my website in my bio even though it’s not a clickable link but is that really a big deal? I’d almost rather be able to use viral sounds. Just making sure I’m not missing something. And I’m guessing also the benefit of a business account as being able to promote videos?
Yes the website link was the main thing for me! If your followers really want to find your website, they'll be willing to write out the website themselves :)
I just tried switching my personal to business and vice versa and it still allowed me to add a website link and I seemed to have access to all analytics! It appears other brands still have access to this as well since they use trending sounds and have website & email link ?
For the most part, you’re free to use songs from the Commercial Music Library in your regular TikTok videos and ads, but for some you may need to fill out an application first. Best to read the rules carefully first. Good luck!
I have been known to bury the lead, lol! Changing the playback speed is one of my favorite features on TH-cam videos, have you ever tried it? Sometimes I crank that baby up to 2x.
Thanks Rona!! Glad to hear it was helpful. I have an entire playlist dedicated to TikTok newbies, check it out: th-cam.com/play/PL2ppY6dzXNjpDLDc_UQDLq4QafLlvN9hv.html
guys be careful with copyright infringement. it's not about figuring out a work around. it's more about using sounds that you didn't purchase proper licensing to
Here’s the all important question though. How do you adjust the sound volume? I tried a business account and all it lets me do is add a sound at full volume. 🤔
After you have the sound for your video, check the top right under Filters and Adjust Clips. There's a drop down arrow for more options. Volume is there!
How to switch from business to creator? Tiktok doesn't show me that option :( i can only switch between personal and business. I want to switch to creator
Click the 3 dots, go to Manage Account. The options are usually right there for the 2 types that you are not currently using. Is there a chance you are already Creator? (You can tell if you see Creator Tools in your settings. If you're Business, instead they call it Business Suite). Also, if you're in a very new account that is still in the default Personal mode, the first option you'll see is Switch to Pro Account. After that you'll get the Creator/Business choice.
Yeah I'm a soft talker. Usually I boost my audio in editing but I must have forgotten this time. But cranking the volume worked ok on my desktop, hopefully your speakers can help! (My ancient laptop has been letting me down in this department lately myself!)
Hi, check out this link for some Creator Fund info www.tiktok.com/creators/creator-portal/en-us/getting-paid-to-create/creator-fund/ Canadians aren't eligible yet so I don't know too much about it. Good luck!
Hi, I already change my account to pro account. I can switch between creator to business and to personal account. But now, I can't switch to creator account. There's only business and personal icon. Can u help me?
This is news to me, and I have checked 2 of my Business Account Tiktok profiles, with low follower counts, and I have the same thing! It almost makes me wonder if Personal is now also Creator. I also checked one of my Creator accounts, with almost 6k followers, and the only option I have there is to switch to Business. It doesn't mention Personal. I would love to hear if anyone else knows about this, or if you find something out, keep me posted, Lailita!!
Hi thank you so much for this video. Yours was the only one that answered my questions! After watching your very informative video I do have a question: When you go into random people’s accounts that are using a viral song and has made it their original… what do you do about the “added” noises in the song you just favorited. So for example the video you favorited had a guys voice with the viral song.. do you just accept that your video ad will now also include that creates noises too? So sorry if this is a confusing question it’s hard to describe without sounding awkward! Thank you so much for your help regardless
It's tough, now that so many people are on TikTok, soooo many more "sounds" are being created every minute. If I hear a song I like on someone's video, I take the extra step of finding the original song, and try to favorite it. You can Search the musician. But then that is also when you'll find out whether the original song is commercially licensed. It's time consuming, but I still find it easier and less time consuming than going through the commercial license library in the business account.
Great channel and looking forward to more content - have been watching Sean's content for just over a year now as this is when I joined YT - Planning to join the VRA when I make my first $100 to pay for the subscription. Are you in the VRA and would you recommend ??
Hey, yes I am! I'm actually watching one of their live FB shows right now. Besides the course, they have a lot of bonus live content exclusively in their FB group. It is not a subscription, it is a one-time cost (which you can break down over payments) BUT I think I just heard them say something about changing the lifetime access to a subscription situation in the future.

Struggling to decide between Creator and Business accounts on TikTok? If you have less than 1000 followers, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/h06dsUjtxp0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Kenny, if you're using sounds that have a commercial license, you should be A-ok. If you're using sounds that don't have a commercial license that you used to make a video while you were on Creator, I haven't heard of people getting a violation.... yet, haha. But if you had hundreds of videos that you made in Creator and wanted to switch to Business, that would be a lot of videos to delete, since you can't edit them after. I'd hope that TikTok would consider that.
Nope because the key point of my method is to find sounds that do have commercial licenses :) However I did get a violation for a totally different reason, this is how I got it resolved: th-cam.com/video/avawgIiOk0k/w-d-xo.html
It looks like they changed it. So the personal account is now also the creator account. You can switch on analytics without upgrading to business. Thats why there seems to be no pro-creator account anymore.
@@TiffanyINC You are welcome 😊 Btw they told me it is a testing phase and that they are experimenting different stuff. So chances are they will switch again after testing. We will see 😊 Oh I have a question. Do you know by chance how I can use trending songs on longer videos? I made a video 1.5 minutes long and wanted to use a trending song with 0 Audio to trick a little bit. But after a certain length its not possible to use some sounds anymore. I think there is no solution to this or is?
I find that now a lot of sounds are created with people's voices mixed in with the hit song I'm looking for. I have to pay attention to make sure that the sound I'm favoriting is purely the song. Is that what you mean?
@@TiffanyINC yes I used to do that too but I noticed, from my business account, even the trending songs who have the other creators voice over it are now unavailable to use. That wasn't the case a few months ago as these sounds with voice overs would be marked as "original sounds" before (despite the trending song in the background).
Thank you for this!!! I’m launching a product and am a caveman when it comes to SMM. Please let me know if you’d be interested in mentoring me for your fee- or refer me to someone you’d recommend. Thanks again!!!
Hi Toby, so glad to hear this video was helpful! I'd really have to recommend my mentor, Sean Cannell. His course is all about TH-cam, but it's been the foundation for my approach to social (which I haven't even kicked into high gear yet). Besides VRA, he's got a FB community with weekly live shows, q&a and tons of support, so I highly recommend it. He's always thinking about the business of YouTubing and how to make it work for you. This leads to a free webinar courses.seancannell.com/a/2147496552/rDoUSbLn Full disclosure: it's an affiliate link. Sean's coaching lead me to become a content entrepreneur and digital marketer. Best of luck with your product!

How to find sounds starts at 7:15
Thank the lord
Not all heroes wear capes.
Jesus christ what on earth was she yapping about until then?
Just switch to a personal account, select the songs you want to use, then switch back to buisness account
I always get nervous that they'll clamp down on that one of these days... but so far lots of people are doing it, no prob
