People Turn to TikTok Creators for Financial Education

Here are 10 TikTok finance influencers to look out for.
By Pace Editor

I recently wrote a blog post about why businesses of all shapes and sizes should consider incorporating TikTok into their brand’s marketing strategy. In it, I highlight examples of brands who’ve seen great success on TikTok and provide tips on how to get started on the fastest-growing social media platform in the world. So, if you haven’t already, I highly recommend checking it out.

In my previous blog post, I mention the vast array of content and genres available on TikTok from both individual content creators and brands. Today, I’d like to dig into one especially noteworthy category of videos on the app that emphasizes educating users on a never-ending selection of subject matters. #LearnOnTikTok, an initiative launched to facilitate learning on the platform, is just one example of how the app encourages creators to share their knowledge with fellow users.

One area of focus that has caught the attention of many, especially younger users, is how to manage and grow your personal wealth. TikTok creators have been able to successfully turn a notoriously challenging topic into easily digestible pieces of content that seamlessly fit into users’ endless scrolling. These influencers are helping steer their followers toward financial wellness for FREE, and we are here for it!

While there is a long list of influential TikTokers in this space, we’ve selected 10 personal finance creators you won’t want to miss (placed in order based on following at time of publication).
