Yeah, it's a disappointing change for sure. It's a setback but don't let it discourage you. Do what you can right now with call to actions and whatnot until you get to 1000. You'll grow faster if you can post often and jump on trends/sounds. Key is not to give up, it's a detour, no reason to give up on your journey.
what they're doing is preventing companies from creating a million affiliate accounts and flooding the algorithm with copies of videos, that would turn people off the tiktok platform
Thank you for the update, for being honest💕 I think it’s completely unfair alienate people for not having enough followers. Specially for business accounts who want to grow.
The website link recently became available to me however I don’t have a business account but I have over 1000 followers. The problem is that it appears and disappears. My husbands says that he only sees it occasionally on my profile. Why?
Question- I've had over 1k followers for months now, but my link recently stopped working. I am on a personal creator account. I tried switching to business and still not working. I can add the link in either setting with no problem however it doesn't direct correctly.
Hey! Sorry to hear, that has to be frustrating. I would switch to a business account, restart your phone and then when you enter your website in, make sure you add either or before the www. so for example: www.ecomgeeks.ca If you've done all that and it still doesn't work, I'd reach out to TikTok support. 🤞You get it working, I know it is a pain to wait for support. Here is the full article on website link requirements: ads.tiktok.com/help/article?aid=10001428&fbclid=IwAR0tY3Enww5DWMrh7H4fNGBkhnnIOcxRe9ann6OrlgDXeH06lpK_vmjJFuw
@@EcomGeeks I wanted to circle back on this in case it happens to anyone else. I appreciate all of these suggestions and did follow through, however my link was still not directing to my site. TikTok support wasn't much help either, I received what seemed to be almost automated response with no follow up. I found that reinstalling the app finally fixed the issue. Thank you again for taking the time to reply to my comment and making these videos.
@@darlingmandie Thanks for taking the time to write out what fixed the issue for you, I'm sure it will help a lot of others who are experiencing the same thing!
I have 30k followers, and now I cant see my website or anyone else’s. No links. No website option. Only thing left to do is business acct, but I was fine until just 2 days ago. I don’t want to switch to business only to find out it doesnt work.
It is my understanding that you do need to switch to a business account. Here is the full article if you want to read up on it: ads.tiktok.com/help/mobile/article?aid=10001428&fbclid=IwAR0tY3Enww5DWMrh7H4fNGBkhnnIOcxRe9ann6OrlgDXeH06lpK_vmjJFuw
Worth to mention that once you have the privilege to have 1k followers and you switch to business account you lose a lot of music options. So you miss some opportunities to follow trends 😞
Very true! The good news is, there still are some trending sounds available for business accounts. If you follow @sydneyonsocials she keeps track of trending sounds for business accounts and posts them to her TikTok account. There are other accounts as well that do the same.
Does anyone know why I have no links in any tiktok creators account. No links available at all. App is updated. Checked settings. I don’t understand why.
Great video! Any idea why my link shows on the app, but on the Desktop version it does not? I have over 1000 followers and it is the same on 2 accounts that I have
My problem was,,i already have more than 1000 followers but when i already link my official tiktok account on my tiktok sellershop it always shows that "The account does not belong to the same country as the shop"... haysssttt it give me a lot of headache,,hope.you can help me to fix it😭😭🙏🙏🙏
I had it before and I recently had to switch because of a glitch and now I can’t put it back and it’s the account from before the same one can someone explain
Oh noo! :( If you previously had the website link before January 20, 2022 (even if you didn't have 1000 followers) they would have allowed you to keep it but if you switched you would loose it. To get it back you will need to have those 1000 followers. If you already meet the requirements and it still isn't working, someone else in the comments had the same issue and they said uninstalling and re-installing the app fixed it.
@@EcomGeeks ok thx for letting me know that was really helpful I appreciate i will just keep posting until I hit a thousand followers one again thank you for your help :) I have a good rest of your day 😊
Hey Crystal. Have you switched to a business account? If not, you'll need to do that. If you have and it still isn't working, another person commented that they had that issue and had to uninstall and re-install the app. As a word of caution though, I believe doing that would erase your drafts so make sure you have backups.
I like this. But what happens if I finally reach 1k followers, add my link, and then some one unfollows me and I drop below 1k? Will my website link still work?
You are very welcome! Yes, 1000 followers and you will need to switch to a business account. Here is the full article on website link requirements: ads.tiktok.com/help/article?aid=10001428&fbclid=IwAR0tY3Enww5DWMrh7H4fNGBkhnnIOcxRe9ann6OrlgDXeH06lpK_vmjJFuw

i dont think thtas true becuese i already had over 1000 followers before the update

Hey! You need to switch to a business account for the link to work. That and have 1000 followers.
But why are all the links for every company broken? Any link in bio loads an error page
I think TikTok was doing an update or a test or something. A lot of people had their links missing even though they met all the requirements.
