ReesaTeesa, a popular creator on the video-sharing app TikTok, became an overnight sensation when she posted a 50-part series titled "Who TF Did I Marry?" In the series, she shared the story of her whirlwind romance with a man she called "Legion." The captivating videos quickly gained millions of views and caught the attention of international media outlets.
As with any viral sensation, there were rumors swirling about ReesaTeesa's financial gains from the series. Some speculated that she made a significant amount of money from the real-life drama depicted in her videos. However, the content creator, whose real name is Teresa Johnson, took to her TikTok platform to set the record straight.
In a recent video, she addressed the exaggerated claims about her earnings, stating that they were "wildly inaccurate." She also clarified that when she started the series, she was not yet part of the TikTok Creator fund, which monetizes content for popular creators. It wasn't until midway through the series that she was approved for the fund, and even then, not all of her videos were eligible for monetization.
To add to the challenges, ReesaTeesa's account was suspended from monetizing content soon after being approved for the Creator fund. She explained that this was due to multiple violations, as she had re-uploaded some of her videos, which goes against TikTok's policies. As a result, she will not be making any money from her videos for the next thirty days.
Despite the rumors of her supposed massive earnings, Johnson revealed that the actual amount was nowhere near what was being speculated. According to The Nashville Film Institute, TikTok creators typically earn 2 to 4 cents per 1,000 views, depending on various factors such as engagement levels and location. The highest earning potential is for users in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy.
Apart from the TikTok Creator fund, brand partnerships are another way for creators to earn money on social media. ReesaTeesa's "Who TF Did I Marry?" series caught the attention of several brands, including Hilton and BMW. However, as of now, there have been no official announcements of any brand partnerships.
It's clear that ReesaTeesa's success on TikTok has not solely been about making money. Her videos have been entertaining and relatable, resonating with millions of viewers worldwide. And while she may not have made a fortune from her series, her talent and creativity have caught the eye of not only the TikTok community but also major brands.
