It’s another happy TikTok Tuesday! We know TikTok strategies can be time-consuming, frustrating, or even intimidating. To get brands pointed in the right direction to get started, or adjust their current paths, here are the top TikTok tips to know.
Tip 1: Find your niche
- Don’t focus on going viral or keeping it all comedy all the time.
- Adapt trends to your brand, not your brand to trends.
- Whatever you make, provide value.
Tip 2: Show your brand’s human side
- Don’t worry about perfect, polished video content.
- This is your chance to get personal with your team, environment, process, maybe even pets.
Tip 3: Use TikTok’s Unique Features
- Go full send into TikTok features to increase your chances of getting discovered.
- Leave no stone unturned for making your content easier to digest and accessibile.
Tip 4: Repurpose your video content
- Because of TikTok’s popularity, Instagram has followed suit with Reels. Be sure to repurpose in a way that you can put the final touches on the video within the native app’s editor.
- Be wary of sounds, though. Not every platform has the same trending sound or music usage rights.
Tip 5: Partner with TikTok creators
- Creators are great for reaching niche audiences or to build trust with consumers on TikTok.
- Try and partner with creators or celebrities who are authentic — including authentic to your brand.
Tip 6: Learn what works best for you
- At the end of the day, experimentation is key. That’s the scary part.
- Like we said, TikTok does not always reward perfection. It rewards relatable, entertaining content.
- Play with formats until you get a better understanding for what works for you, not just your competition.
