TikTok is introducing new ways for creators to get paid.

Creators only makearound $0.02 and $0.04 for every 1,000 views from the TikTok Creator Fund, meaning most full-time creators rake in their primary income through other sources, like promoting products, podcasting, selling Notion templates, and other hustles. Now, TikTok is introducing a new way for creators to make money directly from the app: Series.

Creators in select regions currently have access to Series, but they have to be at least 18 years old, have at least 10k followers on an account that is at least 30 days old, have posted three or more public posts in the last 30 days, have reached 1,000 views or more in the last 30 days, and have an account in good standing. Other creators can still apply — like those with 1,000 followers — but they'll have to provide a link to other sold content.

"Series is in its early stages, and we're continuously exploring ways to improve the experience for our creator community and the way creators are rewarded," TikTok said in a news post. "We’re looking forward to hearing feedback from our community!"
