‘Pulse’ is a new TikTok program that will focus on brand advertising. Users and creators may be affected, but how? TikTok describes Pulse as “a new way for us to make money from the most popular content that you see on your For You Page.” — TikTok.
Ads on TikTok are currently limited. When you initially open the For You Page, you could see a video ad, and as you scroll down, you might notice a few sponsored articles, but they’re not overly intrusive.
TikTok Pulse may result in an increase in the number of advertisements you view as you scroll through content. Brands that participate in the campaign will appear “next to” the most popular posts in the top 4%.
How TikTok Pulse works
In the For You Feed, TikTok Pulse “allows advertisers to place their brand alongside the most relevant content.” Only the top 4% of all posts are seen on TikTok, and they are divided into 12 categories.
Beauty, fashion, food, and gaming are among of the most popular subgenres of TikTok content. “This provides a rare opportunity for brands to connect with the people who matter most to them.”
Who can join TikTok Pulse?
Only those who have at least 100,000 followers will be eligible for the income share scheme.
If you’re an advertiser on TikTok Pulse, this is wonderful news for you. “We will begin exploring our first advertising revenue share program with creators, public figures, and media publishers,” TikTok revealed recently. In order to keep TikTok’s creators happy, the firm says it’s exploring revenue methods in the areas where they’re already present.
