Official TikTok LIVE Creator Network
A TikTok LIVE creator network, which most people call a TikTok LIVE agency, is an organization officially partnered with TikTok to coach and support LIVE creators. Official networks are free to join, don't take any of your earnings, and are paid by TikTok separately. Here are straight answers to the questions people ask us most, including the ones that make networks look bad.

The basics
A creator network is a group officially partnered with TikTok to help creators grow on TikTok LIVE. It provides coaching, a manager, account support, and access to network-only campaigns and events. TikTok pays the network based on how its creators perform, so the network does well when its creators do well.
Yes. "Creator Network" is TikTok's official name for the program. Most creators just say "agency." They mean the same thing, and we use both.
Official ones are. TikTok runs the Creator Network program itself, and official networks are verified by TikTok. What you need to check is whether the specific network inviting you is official, and whether it's asking for anything a real network shouldn't: money, a cut, or your password. See the red flags below.
Invites and verification
It's an invitation from a creator network to add you to their network. Invites from official networks come through TikTok itself, in your Messages tab as a system notification. They don't arrive as a random DM or an outside link.
Opening it shows the official Network Invitation screen inside TikTok. It lists the network's basic services, the management relationship period, TikTok's rules for leaving, and how rewards work. Tap Next to read everything before you accept.
What changes if you accept: nothing about how you use TikTok or go LIVE. You're connected to that network, which lets them give you coaching, management, incentives, and support through TikTok.
Go to the network's TikTok profile. Official networks show TikTok's Creator Network verification icon, a small storefront symbol followed by the network's name, right under the username. TikTok adds it, and a regular account can't. Our official account is @liveproofagency and shows the icon next to LiveProof.
Anyone can name an account after a network, so check for the icon, not the name. Watch for lookalike handles with an extra dot or underscore. If a network can't show you the icon, or the "invite" is only a DM or an outside link, be careful.
Money
A legit one doesn't. LIVEproof takes no percentage of your earnings, gifts, or diamonds, ever. You earn exactly what you would from TikTok whether you're with us or not. If a network asks for a percentage of your LIVE earnings, treat it as a red flag.
TikTok's own invitation says it too: joining a Creator Network "will not affect your LIVE rewards on TikTok."
Yes. TikTok Shop has its own separate agency setup that works differently. A TikTok LIVE Creator Network is paid by TikTok, not out of your LIVE earnings. If you've read that "agencies take a percentage," check which program the source is talking about.
TikTok pays the network separately, based on how the network's creators perform. That money comes from TikTok, not from you. It's why a network can offer coaching and support for free: we only do well when we teach our creators how to find real success for themselves.
TikTok pays you directly. Creators receive their LIVE earnings from TikTok weekly via PayPal, automatically, on TikTok's payout schedule. A network never receives, holds, or processes your TikTok earnings.
Separately, LIVEproof runs its own bonuses, prizes, giveaways, trips, tournaments, and other incentives. We explain the eligibility and rewards for each one when it's announced.
Commitment
You agree to our Terms of Service when you join and use our creator portal. It covers your participation, access to our services, and protection of our training materials. You're not locked in. You can leave any time, with no fee or penalty.
It's not a lock-in. When you accept a TikTok Creator Network invitation, you're agreeing to have that network manage, support, and protect your account for the period shown in the invitation. Ours shows three years. That's the window when LIVEproof is authorized to act as your Creator Network, and you can still ask to leave at any time.
Yes, any time. There's no fee or penalty for leaving LIVEproof. TikTok sets the rules for how leaving works, and they're shown in the invitation before you accept:
A network can also remove a creator at any time. These are TikTok's rules, and TikTok can change them.
No. You can only be with one creator network at a time. To switch, you leave your current network and wait out TikTok's cooldown.
Not with LIVEproof. There's no required number of hours, no diamond quota, and no posting requirement. Results do come from consistency, though. Creators who go LIVE regularly and use what they learn grow the most.
If someone goes completely inactive and never responds to our team, we may eventually remove them from the network. Being quiet for a while doesn't mean you'll be removed.
No. A network never needs your password or login, and you stay in full control of your account.
What we can see
What we can't do
Joining
No, not even to go LIVE. On your own, TikTok usually requires at least 1,000 followers before you can go LIVE. LIVEproof can get you LIVE access through a LIVE trial, even with 0 followers, as long as you're 18 or older and meet the other requirements below.
Some of our creators had never gone LIVE before joining. We care more about personality, willingness to learn, and consistency than current numbers.
To join LIVEproof you need to be:
TikTok may not let creators who've reached 500,000 diamonds in a calendar month in the last 6 months join a new network. We also don't accept everyone. We look for people we think can do well on LIVE and actually want to learn.
The main thing is education, structure, and real people helping you, so you're not figuring out LIVE alone. At LIVEproof, that means:
Yes, and it's one of the biggest benefits of having a creator network behind you. If you get a ban or violation you believe was issued incorrectly, LIVEproof can review it and escalate it directly to TikTok through dedicated Creator Network support channels that independent creators don't have.
Instead of handling an appeal by yourself, you have our team advocating for you and getting your case in front of TikTok for review.
We can't guarantee every ban will be overturned, especially when a violation was valid, and TikTok always makes the final decision. But when something is issued in error, having LIVEproof in your corner gives you a level of support and escalation you don't have as a solo creator.
Deciding
Walk away if a network:
A good network tells you up front what it provides, how it gets paid, what it can see, and what you're agreeing to.
You can go LIVE solo. What a network adds is coaching, a manager, account support, and access to network-only opportunities. An official network doesn't cost you anything or take a cut, so the real decision is choosing the right one, because switching later comes with a TikTok cooldown.
No. Nobody can honestly promise that. A network gives you education, strategy, tools, and support, but your results depend on your consistency, effort, and content.
