We've broken down the Reels metrics in this handy carousel for your reference.
What happened:
TikTok is discontinuing their $1 billion Creator Fund on December 16.
What this means for you + clients:
This isn't a huge surprise since the original Creator Fund had notoriously low payouts and pulled from a pool of money that was a set amount.
But now TikTok says that creators in the US, UK, Germany, and France will no longer be able to monetize their content through the original fund (creators in Italy and Spain aren’t affected by the change).
Back in February, TikTok launched a new version of the Creator Fund called the Creativity Program which was supposed to result in higher payouts. The new program is slightly different in that you can only monetize videos longer than one minute. The Verge explains that "instead of publicizing a pool of money from which payments come out, TikTok said earnings would be based on views and other engagement metrics" for this new program.
