CPM and Revenue on TikTok
TikTok's Creator Fund pays significantly less per view than YouTube's ad revenue. However, TikTok creators often compensate with higher engagement rates. Brand deals on TikTok range from $500 for micro-influencers to $100,000+ per sponsored post for mega-influencers with 10M+ followers. Beauty, fashion, and food niches command the highest brand deal rates.
