TikTok has built an official platform to connect creators with brands: TikTok Creator Marketplace (TTCM). This platform streamlines the sponsorship process for both sides of the deal.
What Is TikTok Creator Marketplace?
TTCM is TikTok's official influencer marketplace where brands can discover creators and send collaboration offers. It operates entirely within the TikTok ecosystem — no third-party platforms required.

TTCM Advantages
Brand access: Thousands of brands are actively looking for creators to work with.
Secure payments: Once a campaign is completed, payment is guaranteed through the platform.
Performance transparency: Brands have access to real-time campaign data, which encourages long-term partnerships.
Data-driven matching: Brands find you based on follower demographics, engagement rate, and niche alignment.
Optimizing Your TTCM Profile
Bio: Clearly state your niche and value proposition. Specific descriptions like "UK's top gaming creator" significantly improve brand matching.
Niche selection: Choose the 2–3 categories where you perform best. Selecting too broad a niche makes quality matching harder.
Media kit: Optional but powerful. A single-page document showing your average views, engagement rate, and audience demographics builds brand confidence.
How Much Can You Earn?
Campaign fees on TTCM vary widely:
- Nano (10K–50K followers): $50–$300 per video
- Micro (50K–250K): $300–$1,500 per video
- Mid-tier (250K–1M): $1,500–$7,500 per video
- Macro (1M+): $7,500+
Alternatives Outside of TTCM
TTCM isn't your only option:
- Direct outreach: Email a brand's PR department directly
- Third-party platforms: Micro-influencer agencies
- TikTok Shop Affiliate: Commission-based earnings from product sales
