Substack is launching a $20 million creator accelerator fund to attract content creators, particularly those moving away from platforms like TikTok. The fund aims to provide financial security and support to creators transitioning to Substack, emphasizing the platform's potential for audience growth, revenue generation, and creative freedom.
Meta and YouTube aren’t the only platforms looking to benefit from TikTok potentially disappearing — Substack wants in on the action, too. The company announced Thursday it’s launching a $20 million “creator accelerator fund,” promising content creators they won’t lose revenue by jumping ship to Substack . Creators in the program also get “strategic and business support” from Substack , and early access to new features.
But creators focusing on Substack are also subject to ebbs and flows depending on what the company is prioritizing: first, it was newsletters, then it was tweet-like micro blogs, followed by full-on websites and livestreaming. For some, Substack’s initial stated mission of giving more freedom to independent writers is fading. And TikTok creators looking to move to Substack will need to rebuild their following all over again — you obviously can’t export your TikTok followers.
