TikTok has increased the TikTok Creator Fund from $200 million to $1 billion. Can making videos on TikTok become a full-time job?

TikTok is a popular video-sharing platform that is rooted in the creativity of many TikTok creators. Many creators and artists showcase their talents through TikTok but such content creators were not receiving as many financial benefits as they would from other social media apps like YouTube and Instagram unless they had a huge number of followers.

But now it is going to change because the app is launching the TikTok Creator Fund to encourage such creative video creators to use their voices and imagination to forge inspirational careers.

With the ever-looming threat for TikTok to get banned, it is not going down without a fight. TikTok has realized the value of creative content creators and thus they have announced their one billion dollar TikTok creator fund. But what exactly is this TikTok Creator fund?
