The short-video format app has become wildly popular in recent years with more than a billion active users globally but has been criticized for not providing a way for creators to effectively monetise content.
Under the new TikTok Pulse program, companies can place their ads next to user content in specific categories, including health, fashion, cooking, gaming, and others — and creators will get a cut.
“We will begin exploring our first advertising revenue share program with creators, public figures, and media publishers,” the company, a subsidiary of Chinese tech firm ByteDance, said in a statement.
“We’re focused on developing monetization solutions in available markets so that creators feel valued and rewarded on TikTok.”
Only accounts with at least 100,000 subscribers will be eligible for the first phase of the program, TikTok said.

The firm’s North America general manager Sandie Hawkins said that Pulse will roll out in the United States in June, and that approved creators will get a 50% cut of ad revenue.
In 2021, TikTok generated an estimated 4.6 billion dollars in revenue, according to the industry publication Business of Apps.
That figure is more than double the previous year’s revenue but remains roughly on par with competitor Snapchat, which has about 300 million daily users, according to Snapchat’s data.
Other major social networks that focus on videos, such as YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat, have already implemented revenue-sharing systems.
