Paid subscriptions that have been live for a few months are about to come to TikTok. This thing has finally been made official by the social network with a dedicated blog post and a promotional video. Starting Thursday, March 26, a handful of users will be able to test the new functionality in beta, which will allow them to gain a certain number of benefits. Currently, you will first need to get an invite from an influencer to join the program.
Also, not all influencers on the platform can ask their subscribers to subscribe to a paid plan. You will need to have at least 1000 subscribers to be eligible for this. Similarly, only adult users will be able to send money to their favorite influencers on a monthly basis. If all these conditions are met, all that remains is to issue the credit card.
