TikTok opens paywalled content for creators to make money

San Francisco: More than gaining attention, Tik Tok stars can now turn their videos into money-spinners.

Chinese short-video making app offers content creators an opportunity to sell their videos to viewers.

The creators will be able to put premium content behind paywalls which their viewers can purchase.

Creators can set their rates from $1 to $190, which their viewers can buy using direct in-video links or from the creator's profile page.

The 'One Series' initiative can include up to 80 videos, each up to 20 minutes long, giving people a new, longer format to watch their favourite creators and content.

"Creators can select how much their Series should cost that best reflects the value of their exclusive content, which can be purchased for access via direct in-video links or through a creator's profile," TikTok said.

Through Series, creators can build even stronger relationships with their viewers while also giving viewers another way to support creators.
