If you are a novice blogger and dream of becoming popular on TikTok from scratch – this article is for you. We tell you what you need to do to get your first subscribers and promote yourself on this social network.

How to become popular on Tiktok: 10 tips and recommendations

Decide on your goal.

The first thing you need to answer yourself the question – why do you need a Tik Tok profile, and are you going to make money in it?

What may be your goals:

• You have your own business, and you want to attract customers from Tik-Tok.
• You want to become famous + make money from popularity.
• You create a profile solely for the purpose of making money from advertising.
• You need traffic for other social networks where it’s harder to get promoted, like a YouTube channel or Instagram page.

2. Choose a niche.

Some of the niches currently being shot at Tic Toks are:

• humorous videos;
• dance;
• music – vocals, covers;
• tips, tutorials;
• specialist profiles – doctors, lawyers, fitness trainers, psychologists, teachers, photographers;
• everything to do with visualization – drawing, animation, sticky videos of experiments;
• social theme;
• sports;
• trash videos – unusual looks, freaks;
• videos with animals;

By the way, there is often advice on the web to make several accounts in Tic-Toc for different niches, and then develop the one that gets the most views.

3. Stop with the click-fraud

Scamming, as well as other violations of the rules of the social network leads to the ban of videos or the account as a whole. Now there are the following types of bans in TT:

• shadow ban – the videos stop getting into the recommended;
• ban of a particular clip;
• ban of the whole account;
• Ban for violating the rules during live broadcasting (e.g. alcohol or cigarettes in the frame).

4. See what’s trending right now and shoot on those topics

You can do this by watching the recommended videos section and monitoring popular Challenges. This especially helps in the beginning stages when you don’t have a clear plan and no idea what to shoot.

How users create content for Tik Tok:

• They come up with an original story and post it on social media.
• Watching what others are doing, copying completely or trying to do better.

In the first case, you need to spend time looking for ideas – some will “fit” the audience, some will not. In the second case, you don’t waste your time on experiments, you just have to copy similar videos that are already popular. But don’t copy the content of your video one-to-one – add at least something of your own.

Of course it’s always better to create something new, but it all depends on what your goals are. If your aim is just to get subscribers and post as many videos as possible – you can take someone else’s ideas as a base and make your own interpretation.

Follow the recommended videos and challenges to shoot what’s in the top, rather than posting a video on a topic that’s long out of date. For example, if you go into the Tik Tok now with lip-synch (when you open your mouth to music, imitating singing), then no one will pay attention to you, because this was in trend when Tik Tok first appeared.

5. Find your thing

It should be something that is associated with you and your content. For example, the way you speak, the way you look, the colors in your video. Despite the fact that 90% of the content in Tik-Tok – is the copying of other people’s ideas, there is still value individuality. The one whose commercials are copied is always more successful. But some manage to surpass the original.

6. Follow the new features of Tik-Tok

That is, make the most of social networking features. Tik Tok is now one of the fastest-growing social networks – new masks and filters appear almost every week. When you enter Tic Toc, check to see if something new has appeared; if you use it as one of the first, attention is guaranteed.
