TikTok Live Subscription: Benefits & Eligibility Explained

TikTok Live Subscription: Benefits & Eligibility Explained

Subscriptions also open the door to an exclusive channel between creators and subscribers. The subscriber-only chat is another way of pushing users to pay a subscription fee in hopes of getting an opportunity to interact with creators without the hustle of commenting in a crowded space, such as being prioritized during an AMA session. Live subscriptions also grant custom emotes that have been designed by creators as a token of appreciation for their fans. These subscriber-only emotes can be used during TikTok live sessions. TikTok says creators must be at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 1,000 followers to access the live subscription feature, while subscribers will need to be over 18. The company has randomly picked up some well-known influencers in the early test phase of its new monetization program. For now, the program is strictly in an invite-only phase.

As per the TikTok Live Creator channel, TikTok live subscriptions went live on May 26 as part of a beta testing phase. The channel has been posting a few benefits of a live subscription, which include the ability to let subscribers control the creator’s camera during a live stream session. But launching subscription tools is one thing, and making it lucrative enough for both parties is an altogether different game. From a creator’s perspective, if they keep their best content limited to subscriber-only sessions, irrespective of the platform, they risk alienating a core audience that can’t afford a monthly payment but are otherwise vocal supporters.

From a subscriber’s perspective, well, they can always shift their attention to another creator in the same genre. Another problem with subscription-only content is limited cross-platform reach. Many TikTok creators repost their content on Instagram as Reels, but subscriber-only TikTok content will make that a tricky situation. In such a conflict, the creator will either have to limit Instagram re-sharing and lose engagement there or charge TikTok followers for exclusive content and distribute it freely on Instagram. In either case, TikTok creators will have some hard decisions to make.
