TikTok Introduces New Ad Program Allowing Creators to Earn Money for Branded Content
- TikTok unveiled a new monetization feature called Creative Challenge that allows creators to earn money by making branded video ads for advertisers.
- The program is open to creators 18 and older based in the U.S. with at least 50,000 followers.
- Creators submit original content to brands, and can earn money if the brand approves and runs the video as an ad.
- Payments will depend on factors like views, clicks and conversions, but creators have no guarantee of compensation.
- The program provides a new way for TikTok and brands to leverage creators and their audiences, but offers no assurance of payment for creators' work.
