About BEAR MINIMUM

What is BEAR MINIMUM?

+

BEAR MINIMUM is a boutique creator network. We coach creators from the ground up.

We're a TikTok LIVE Creator Network and a Certified TikTok Shop Partner. Our support covers 1-on-1 LIVE coaching, content strategy across platforms, brand readiness, account protection with direct TikTok support channels, TikTok Shop, growth planning, and merch programs.

Built on 15+ years of experience in livestreaming, esports, and content. No contracts. We never take a cut of your TikTok LIVE earnings.

What's your approach to working with creators?

+

Most networks sign creators and disappear. We actually invest in your growth long-term, across every platform, not just the next stream.

We think 5, 10, 20 years out. We treat creators like businesses without killing the creativity. That means hands-on coaching, strategic planning, brand positioning, and building infrastructure around your content so you can focus on creating.

It's the difference between being one of 5,000 names on a list and having a team that knows your content, your goals, and your trajectory.

What makes you different from other networks?

+

Small network, real attention. We keep the network intentionally small. Every creator gets personalized 1-on-1 coaching. Not group webinars, not automated tips, not a dashboard and good luck.

Full-service, not single-service. LIVE coaching is just the start. We also handle TikTok Shop, brand readiness, multi-platform content strategy, dynamic media kits, and growth planning. Everything under one roof.

Account protection. Direct TikTok support channels for bans, restrictions, and appeals. That's a safety net solo creators don't have.

Multi-platform growth. We help creators build across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and beyond. Real growth isn't built on one app.

Network-only opportunities. Access to brand campaigns, paid promotions, and opportunities that aren't available to solo creators.

Your TikTok LIVE earnings are yours. No contracts. No hidden fees. Your Diamonds stay in your pocket.

How is BEAR MINIMUM free?

+

BEAR MINIMUM earns through its TikTok Creator Network partnership, brand campaign programs, TikTok Shop commerce, and merchandise programs.

As the creators we support grow, the business grows with them. Your TikTok LIVE earnings are never part of the equation. That's a hard line.

Do you take a cut of my TikTok LIVE earnings?

+

Never. Your TikTok LIVE earnings are 100% yours. BEAR MINIMUM does not take any percentage of your Diamond payouts, gifts, or stream revenue.

That's a hard line for us.

Is there a contract or lock-in period?

+

No contracts. BEAR MINIMUM does not require you to sign a long-term agreement or commit to a lock-in period. You're here because you want to be, not because you're stuck.

We believe in earning your trust through results, not paperwork.

How It Works

What kind of support do you provide?

+

Hands-on, 1-on-1 creator coaching. Not generic webinars or automated tips.

That includes LIVE stream strategy and performance coaching, content strategy across platforms, brand readiness coaching, TikTok Shop onboarding and optimization, account protection support with direct lines to TikTok, dynamic media kits, growth planning, and merch program guidance.

The goal is to help you grow as a creator. Not just on one platform or one feature. We see the whole picture.

What is a TikTok LIVE Creator Network?

+

A TikTok LIVE Creator Network is a partner organization that operates on TikTok's platform to support LIVE creators. Networks provide coaching, growth strategies, account protection support, and access to opportunities that solo creators don't get on their own.

Think of it like having a team behind you. Helping you grow faster, earn more, and avoid the pitfalls that trip up solo creators.

BEAR MINIMUM is one of these TikTok Creator Networks, but our work goes well beyond just LIVE.

How do I know if a creator network is legit?

+

A legitimate TikTok LIVE Creator Network should never charge you to join, should never take a cut of your TikTok LIVE earnings, and should be verifiable on TikTok itself.

The easiest way to check: look at their TikTok profile. Real, TikTok-approved creator networks have "LIVE Creator Network" listed as the category. Only verified networks get that.

BEAR MINIMUM is a verified TikTok Creator Network. No fees, no cuts from your TikTok LIVE earnings, ever.

What are the red flags when joining a creator network?

+

Be wary of any network that charges you to join, takes a cut of your TikTok LIVE earnings, locks you into a long-term agreement, or offers large gifts in exchange for joining.

If the incentive to join is a gift and not the actual support they provide, that tells you where their priorities are.

Do TikTok creator networks take your money?

+

No. A real creator network should never take money from your TikTok LIVE earnings. TikTok pays the network directly for supporting creators. Your Diamond earnings, gifts, and payouts are yours.

If any network asks you to pay a fee or share your Diamond revenue, that's a red flag.

Joining & Requirements

What are the requirements to join BEAR MINIMUM?

+

BEAR MINIMUM works with creators across platforms, not just TikTok. For our TikTok LIVE Creator Network specifically, you need to be 18 or older, based in the US or Canada, have under 500K Diamonds earned in the past 6 months, not currently be in another Creator Network, and only have one account that goes LIVE.

For our other services like brand readiness, content strategy, TikTok Shop, and merch, reach out through our contact page and we'll figure out the best fit for you.

Can I join if I'm already in another network?

+

No. TikTok's policy requires that creators can only be in one Creator Network at a time. If you're currently in another network, we cannot engage with you or offer guidance on leaving your current network.

You would need to consult directly with your current network about their process.

Be aware that there is a cooldown period after leaving a network, and depending on your Diamond earnings, you may no longer meet the eligibility requirements to join another network.

What if I've earned too much to join a Creator Network?

+

You can still work with BEAR MINIMUM. The 500K Diamond cap is a TikTok Creator Network eligibility requirement. But BEAR MINIMUM is more than just a CN. We're also a Certified TikTok Shop Partner, and our work goes beyond any one program.

Even if you don't qualify for the CN, you can still access brand readiness tools, TikTok Shop support, content strategy, dynamic media kits, merch programs, and more. If you're not currently in another network, reach out. There's a good chance we can still help you grow.

Earning & Growth

What income streams does BEAR MINIMUM help with?

+

TikTok LIVE Diamonds are just one piece. We help you build diversified income:

Brand opportunities and sponsorships. We coach you to be ready when brands come looking. TikTok Shop affiliate commissions. Earn from products you promote during streams and in content. Creator merchandise programs. Design and sell your own merch. Content creation opportunities across platforms.

The goal is to help you grow and earn on your terms. Whether this is your full-time thing or a side hustle.

How long does it take to see results?

+

It depends on where you're starting and how much work you put in.

Creators who follow the coaching and stay consistent typically see meaningful growth within the first 30 to 60 days. Better engagement, more viewers, and stronger content.

Brand opportunities and Shop revenue take longer to build, usually 2 to 3 months as your audience grows. There's no overnight success, but with the right strategy and consistency, the growth compounds fast.

LET'S BUILD
SOMETHING.

It starts with a conversation. No contracts, no pressure. Just a team that's been doing this for 15+ years.
