TikTok to Empower Creators with Cutting-Edge Monetization Features 

‍

TikTok has been in the headlines for quite some time now. Whether due to TikTok bans happening across USA and Canada, or because of a TikTok trend gone wrong, the app encounters media coverage every now and then. Despite facing all this scrutiny and diplomatic pressures, TikTok continues to establish itself as the top social media platform. And its success can be attributed to the platform’s constant feature updates that make TikTok even more creator-friendly. 

In the last quarter (January - March), TikTok was all about improving user experience, strengthening brand-creator partnerships, and enhancing targeted advertising. But this quarter (April - June), it shifted its focus towards creator monetization, enhancing creator marketing on TikTok. Let’s explore each of TikTok's social media updates in the last three months.
