San Francisco, February 21: Chinese short video-making app TikTok, which is facing controversies in the US, has introduced a beta version of its new monetisation tool "Creativity Program" for creators.

Currently available in the US, France and Brazil and expected to roll out to more regions soon, the new monetisation tool is designed to help creators "foster their creativity" and "generate higher revenue," the company said in a blogpost on Monday. Top-20 Highest-Earning TikTok Stars of 2022: Charli D’Amelio, Khaby Lame and Bella Poarch – Check List of TikTokers Who Are Earning a Tidy Sum From the App!

"To start earning, creators must create and publish high-quality, original content longer than one minute," the platform said. Moreover, creators will have access to an updated dashboard to view video eligibility, estimated revenue, and video performance metrics and analytics. "Keeping the safety of our community in mind, all videos for the Creativity Program must abide by our Community Guidelines," it added.
