TikTok, the global social media platform beloved by creators worldwide, is introducing new initiatives designed to monetize content more effectively and reward the creativity of its users. These offerings could present an exciting opportunity for small businesses and budding entrepreneurs looking to expand their reach and generate revenue.
The first of these initiatives, called Effect Creator Rewards, seeks to recognize the creative efforts of Effect House creators who have significantly influenced TikTok culture through their innovative effects. A $6 million fund has been set aside for this initiative, available to creators in select regions. Rewards will be based on user engagement with creators’ effects. For instance, if an effect is used in 500,000 unique videos within 90 days of being published, the creator will earn $700. For each subsequent 100,000 videos published using the effect within the same timeframe, an additional $140 will be earned.
This move is aimed at expanding opportunities for effect creators and acknowledges the integral role these effects play in content creation and user engagement on the platform. More information on the program and eligibility criteria is available on the Effect House website.
The second initiative TikTok announced is the expansion of the Creativity Program Beta, initially unveiled earlier this year. This program encourages creators to deliver high-quality, original content, with the prospect of generating greater revenue and unlocking more real-world opportunities.
Eligibility requirements for the Creativity Program Beta are set to ensure the quality and reach of the content. Creators must be based in Brazil, France, or the U.S., have an account in good standing, a minimum of 10,000 followers, and at least 100,000 views over the past 30 days. Videos must also be original content, lasting longer than one minute.
The updated program features a new revenue model that offers a higher average gross revenue for qualified video views, providing creators with the potential to earn greater rewards. An updated dashboard will also be available, giving creators insights into estimated rewards, video performance metrics, analytics, and details on video eligibility.
TikTok’s commitment to community safety remains steadfast, and all content must comply with the platform’s Community Guidelines. Feedback from the creator community continues to be instrumental in shaping and evolving these initiatives.
For small business owners and creators, these changes offer not only an opportunity to generate revenue but also a chance to extend their reach on a global platform. Small businesses can leverage these new programs to showcase their products and services in a more engaging, interactive manner and tap into the vast, dynamic user base of TikTok.

I really like the idea of putting price tags on these accomplishments. Then it becomes more defined and creators can know they’ll have some revenue coming in even if their content isn’t driving direct revenue. Smart move by TikTok.
