Meta Offers Cash Bonuses to Attract TikTok Creators to Reels
The program promises up to $5,000 for U.S.-based creators, with additional incentives like content deals and free verification.
- Meta's 'Breakthrough Bonus' program offers up to $5,000 over 90 days for creators who post Reels on Instagram and Facebook.
- Creators must meet specific criteria, including posting a set number of Reels each month and linking their accounts to third-party platforms like TikTok.
- Some TikTok creators are being offered larger monthly bonuses of $10,000 to $50,000 for exclusive early posting on Reels.
- Meta has introduced updates to Reels, including extending video lengths to three minutes and launching a new editing app called Edits to rival TikTok's CapCut.
- The initiative follows TikTok's temporary U.S. ban and ongoing absence from app stores, as Meta seeks to capitalize on the uncertainty surrounding its competitor.
