TikTok announces a new feature allowing creators to better monetize their content. In addition to earning money from the TikTok Creator Fund, popular TikTokers can now upload videos to a TikTok Series, the content of which is protected by a paywall.
Fans of these creators can purchase a creator’s premium content and have access to up to 80 videos, with each video being up to 20 minutes long. It is up to content creators to decide the price of their TikTok series, and access can be purchased through links in the videos or on a creator’s profile.
For now, creating a TikTok series is limited to a few creators. In the coming months, creators will be able to request access to this new feature.
What type of content is considered a TikTok series?
Anything that isn’t “adult content” can be compiled into a TikTok series, whether it’s cooking, exercise, beauty, lifestyle, or other topics.
Regular TikTok videos can be up to 10 minutes long. Doubling the duration can therefore allow creators to offer more detailed content to their viewers. While this new feature gives creators more control over their earnings on TikTok, TikTok series content must still adhere to TikTok’s Community Guidelines.
The TikTok Creator Fund was the first opportunity for creators to monetize their TikTok content. The main requirement was that a creator had to prove that they had received 100,000 genuine video views in the past 30 days to gain access to the Creator Fund.
But creators had to reside in certain countries, be at least 18 years old, and have at least 10,000 followers to be considered eligible. And if they were accepted, the money they received from the fund varied every day.
Some creators only earned pennies from their TikTok videos, while others earned millions of dollars. TikTok Series therefore offers creators greater stability and reliability when it comes to the money they earn from making TikTok videos.
