[@travelwithnicole]

hi. If you are starting out building a comedic channel on TIKTOK on just one topic, would you suggest a personal or business account? I'm doing different comedic short videos all based on one topic. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

[@tuittofficial]

Creator sounds like the right choice. Which did you go with in the end?

[@ScorpionicReadings]

Thank you so much for the info! Deciding to go with a business account - sold by the ability to sell directly on tiktok 😊

Can I add a non copyright song on my video and than add it to IG reels? Will it affect ads? There are so many classical songs that are not copyright and IG does not hav e them as music options on business account, idk why!

[@adamamir8554]

Amazing info dude

[@Tony2Styles]

Just saying Thanks

[@proartwork7189]

Am I able to add Amazon wishlist link if I have over 10K followers, or do I need to create a business account?

[@memow2129]

What would happen if you use a business account with coprighted songs because I see people do it

[@DoculandNigeria]

Nice content❤ but I've heard several talk that business accounts doesn't grow rapidly as personal accounts probably because of non-access to trending music and the likes, and it's better to start with a Personal Account and when it grows you can switch to Business Account. Can you give examples of business accounts doing well and growing on tiktok especially those that started as a business account?

[@RecruitingMaven]

I have a creator account and I’ve used ads and they work very well. I’m on the fence about switching over to biz because I’m afraid they’ll keep asking for money in order for me to grow. So my strategy is to keep my creator account and grow it; it’s growing quickly right now) I think it’s easier and zero money). Once I get 10K followers I’ll switch over to biz. Not sure if this helped.

[@MarcoKMusicArts]

Thx a lot! :) Now I can start with my musical carrer on TikTok on my on terms and ambitions thanks to your entertaining, short, but also very informative Vid. I folllow you now on YT, sir. Please keep making more vids. on TikTok; again thx a lot:)

Does copyright music interfere with monetization on personal/creator account?

[@fastlaneprofits]

[@paperdoll523]

Can or should I unlink my business account. I chose it by accident. I just want to promote products from the TT shop.

[@seasthechance]

I'm still unsure of what would be best for my situation. We will be traveling on a cruise ship for 3 years and want to use our social content to drive to Patreon while still earning from social platforms. what do you think we should be?

[@scolliecat]

Hi Adam, thanks for the great video! Do you know what happens to the content that I already uploaded to my personal account using audio from the library if I switch to a business account?

[@raulvillarreal7958]

Idk for sure but what should happen is if the Sound used isn't available to a business account then the video will be privated or turned into a draft until you change the sound

[@HasiYa.7-]

Which is better ?

[@Chigua]

how do i go creatir again

[@LivingGoodwithLandee111]

I’m finding the biz account to be much more difficult and involved. My showcase disappeared too

[@indigoauraessentials]

I agree! I'm thinking about going back to a creator account.

[@SimplybeingR]

Thank you for this video! I had noticed this because I have a business account. I did link my creator and business account...I want access to more music as a creator..should I have these account unlinked and do them separately, is that possible?

[@CycleBreakersCommunity]

That’s what I need to see

[@CultureIsKey]

I have a business account and can duet and stitch.

[@arminverwest220]

Les say im artist or a rapper or a dj or music producer. What type of account should i use.? Please help

[@starseed5089]

i would go for a creator account because you want to grow your audience and you can start making funds out once you have 10k followers.

[@nova3677]

Hello,,,8 have a question,,,,,i just open a tiktok account, but when I tried to follow for the first time,,,it keeps showing up 0 on my following list. I'm not able to follow ppls,but people can follow me. Anything I can do to fix it? I feel so guilty for not being able to follow

[@TheMotivationMasterer]

It thinks you’re a bot, you’re meant to warm up your account for a few days by liking and commenting on videos but whilst actually watching the videos

[@sanadl7302]

So im not able to menetize my tiktok videos or enable gifts on business account right?

[@tuittofficial]

Yup 😢. Simple solution, just have an account for business and another for personal with the monetization features.

[@jingojimsjungle]

can you set up business acc on TT if yours is just an ETSY store and not a registered entity?

[@tuittofficial]

Yes if you're a registered sole trader. Did you get a business TT profile?

[@shirleyojo5586]

Can you change from a personal account to a business account and back again to a personal account or are you stuck once you change?

[@tuittofficial]

You can switch from one to the other but rather than switching just have two accounts, one for business and one personal.
You have to submit a few items to prove you're a business to get the business account, so it's not really a process you want to revert after the hoop jumping to get approved as a business account. 😎

[@ojryantan7884]

I have a question, can I still get paid from my vids views, likes and followers once I switch to Bussines account?

[@juliettacarreno1966]

Exactly my question

[@MPM_News]

I’ve switched back to personal account but I can’t still get access to sounds? They are still restricted

[@TheGhostNotePodcast]

Are you still dealing with this problem? I’m thinking of switching to personal

[@Axgeljc]

is there any difference with getting noticed in the algorithm?

[@adzzzroberts]

Nope!

[@SirJayno]

What happens to my previous videos with music once I switch to business account?

[@adzzzroberts]

Currently, TikTok only lets businesses use music in their royalty-free library, other royalty-free sounds, or user-created sounds and songs

[@FinanceGuyOfficial]

hi adam, I tried joining creator fund with my tiktok channel but was told that i couldnt because i got a few videos and comments removed a few weeks ago. Do you happen to know how long it will take before my account is considered "in good order" so i can sign up to it? Great Thumbnails by the way 👍

[@adzzzroberts]

Why did your videos/comments get removed in the first place?

[@FinanceGuyOfficial]

@@adzzzroberts I was trying to get people over to my TH-cam Channel by saying check link in bio etc

[@adzzzroberts]

Here are some reasons why you shouldn't tell people to click link in bio on TikTok videos:
Spamming: TikTok has strict policies against spamming or promoting irrelevant links in bios.
Misleading: Telling people to click on a link in bio could be misleading if the link leads to a false or malicious website.
Decreased Trust: Promoting links in bio could reduce the trust of TikTok users as they may perceive it as a form of advertising or self-promotion.
Decreased Engagement: If TikTok users are not interested in the content of the link, they may not engage with the video or the account, leading to a decrease in engagement and followers.
It's important to maintain a healthy balance between promoting content and engaging with the TikTok community.

[@jazzyjeatz3343]

Question, do you get paid for your video views on TikTok with a business account or just a creator account?

[@adzzzroberts]

Not with a business account - with a creator account!

[@CycleBreakersCommunity]

They still have me in the creativity program

[@UnafraidCooking]

Tiktok has upgraded me to a business account but I never asked for it? Also can I still be a tiktok shop affiliate with a business account?

[@NotoriousFrmTheD]

I did too you figure out how to change it?

[@abdulhamidmhd360]

Please how can i switch my tiktok account to creator account

[@sookip1900]

Can you promote your business from a creator account to Garner following

[@adzzzroberts]

Yes!

[@Sauce_AV_SWMC]

Can you still go live ona creator account once you hit 1k followers?

yes

[@highpriestofseti]

Am 51, made my first tiktok account, am a twitch streamer, guess for streamers tiktok can be handy too.

You can repurpose your content for TikTok quite easily! Such a great place for streamers

[@calw8085]

@@tuittofficialagreed, it does not change the views only the kinds of music. Plenty of business accounts still going viral. As it’s the content interest and not necessarily the type of account.

[@veganfuture4224]

so with a business account you too need 1k followers now?

[@adzzzroberts]

You need to have a TikTok business account to sell on TikTok Shop, go live, add link in bio which requires you to have at least 1000 followers
