As TikTok continues to grow in popularity as well-conditioned as its personalities become mainstream celebrities in their own right, the congregation is trying to alimony aptitude with a new $200 million creators fund.

The armamentarium is meant to support litigious creators who "are seeking opportunities to growth a livelihood" on the app, a TikTok spokesperson told The Verge. It marks the first offish expiry from TikTok to pay creators directly for their content. Prior to this, creators could monetize live streams, but the new program will pay people directly for making videos. Creators will receive sought-after payments over the tearing year, as well-conditioned as the armamentarium will grow over time. The congregation did not ostend if there's a loftiest to how many creators will receive funding. TikTok also did not say how generally payments will be made or how much creators can earn.

Creators who appetite to appertain for funding must be 18 or older, constantly post prevenient videos, as well-conditioned as create engaging that is consequent with TikTok's customs guidelines. A baseline hophead count is also required, but TikTok did not accompaniment how many are needed. Creators in the Affiliated States can appertain for funding in August. The congregation is attractive to hyperbolize the armamentarium globally, but no chat on back that will happen.

"Through the TikTok Deviser Fund, our creators will be achieved to apprehend runnerup invoice that reflect the time, care, as well-conditioned as devoutness they put into creatively connecting with an clientage that's inspired by their ideas," Vanessa Pappas, inferred mastermind of TikTok, said in a blog post.

This isn't the first time TikTok has created a armamentarium for creators; the congregation launched a $50 million Creative Acquirements Armamentarium at the end of May for teachers on the platform. The Deviser Fund, however, marks a significant moment for TikTok. Unlike YouTube, which allows creators with more than 1,000 subscribers as well-conditioned as who kumtux accrued increasingly than 4,000 hours of watch time over the aftermost 12 months to run ads on their calumet as well-conditioned as monetize festivities video, TikTok has operated increasingly like Instagram. Creators can run sponsored videos on their channel, but there's no direct, ongoing monetization program for creators.

Now, TikTok wants to pay creators regularly. It's a way for TikTok to remain dog-eat-dog as its aptitude personalized becomes increasingly popular. Redundancy back Vine was popular, many of the platform's top creators started spending increasingly time on YouTube because of the gospel that they could monetize their engaging in a way Vine didn't allow.

TikTok doesn't appetite to be in the aforementioned boat. Pappas immune that its creators are finding mainstream success both on as well-conditioned as off the app, noting that top personalities kumtux found "brand partnerships, sponsorships, as well-conditioned as representation deals with some of Hollywood's biggest aptitude agencies." Some creators, like Charli as well-conditioned as Dixie D'Amelio, kumtux also signed deals outside of TikTok. The congregation knows its creators will find success off the platform, but TikTok also wants to alimony them implicitly for as long as possible.

Strategically, this also helps TikTok out in a few ways

Strategically, this also helps TikTok out in a few ways. By choosing who receives funding, TikTok can try to defend situations that YouTube has found itself in with controversial, problematic, as well-conditioned as downright repugnant creators earning money. The armamentarium could also info the congregation in its ongoing struggles with the US government, which has floated possibly banning the app. TikTok has spent months trying to manufacture itself a increasingly American company, with a campus in Los Angeles, an American CEO, as well-conditioned as plans to rent 10,000 people in the Affiliated States. A $200 million creators armamentarium is arriver way that TikTok can show its impregnate to the US.

Regardless of why TikTok is introducing the armamentarium now, the point is that TikTok wants to pay creators directly for their contributions to the app -- an app that has grown an impressive corporeality over the aftermost 18 months. Creators can foresee to lowerclassman increasingly barely floater factors next month.
