I left the creator fund on TIK TOK #frameworkmotivation #socialmedia #coaching #socialmediatips

Introduction

Recently, I made the decision to pause my participation in the TikTok Creator Fund. For those who may not be familiar, the TikTok Creator Fund is an invite-only program that compensates creators for their content. Initially, the requirements included having 10,000 followers, achieving 100,000 views within the past 30 calendar days, and maintaining a clean account without bans or strikes.

Currently, my TikTok account boasts approximately 370,000 followers, and I attract around 50 business inquiries daily for potential brand partnerships. However, I've discovered a significant downside to being part of the Creator Fund: it appears that TikTok tends to throttle views for creators in the program. This practice essentially reduces their reach, leading to fewer views and ultimately less engagement.

In my case, I realized that I would prefer to prioritize community engagement and visibility over the earnings from the Creator Fund. Just a week after opting out of the program, one of my videos went viral for the second time. This experience has shown me that not all monetization opportunities have positive outcomes. Sometimes, stepping back from financial incentives can lead to greater growth and connection with your audience.

In conclusion, while the TikTok Creator Fund may seem appealing at first glance, my experience has proven that the value of engagement and community connection outweighs the financial compensation. It serves as a reminder that in the world of social media, not all monetization is good monetization.
