Know your timing. It may be that your content is as tasty as a Michelin-starred dish, but if you post it in the middle night or when everyone’s busy watching Netflix, then it will get lost. TikTok Insights will let you know when your audience is most active. Was it during the lazy lunch break? Maybe at midnight snack time? It’s like catching the wave at its peak by hitting the “post” button just in time.

Let’s talk about hashtags. Oh, what a sweet symphony! You may think it’s smart to use popular hashtags, like confetti. Not quite, sir. Mixing popular hashtags with niche gems is the magic. Imagine hashtags as the little meeting place for your video in TikTok’s grand ball. Choose wisely if you want to mix with the super-viral people. Don’t go overboard. Nobody likes to have a hashtag overkill interfere with their video viewing experience.

TikTok is as synonymous with music as Batman and Robin. You can give your video that extra boost by looking at trending tracks. Have you ever noticed that those audios are so catchy, they make you sing in the shower? Use this power to do good. Why not make them dance to your music?

Keep it short and snappy. Many TikTok users and goldfish are notorious for having short attention spans. It’s important to grab them early. Imagine that you are a novelist with just eight seconds to grab hearts. It’s best to blend humor and emotional appeals. Have you ever tried to tell a story that starts with a punchline? You can do that on TikTok!

Captions are your golden pot of knowledge. You don’t have to limit them to your grandmother. Smart captions can be used as witty pickup lines at bars. It piques curiosity and directs the “IT’s eyeballs” directly to your video. Create captions that will evoke the imagination of your viewers. Use questions, challenges and slightly provocative statements as bait to get the viewer’s attention.

Consistency is the key to success on TikTok. Ride hard. Nature is a great example: water drops do not carve rock because they are strong, but rather because they are persistent. You can attract followers if you keep them entertained.

A rookie mistake that is often made when talking about audiences is to overlook the community. TikTok doesn’t only serve as a platform for speeches. It’s more like a cocktail party, where everyone is mingling. Jump into discussions. Leave a comment, or a reaction, and you are no longer a fringe participant. You’re now the life of the event.

Last but not least, be a learner. Learn from others. TikTok contains a wealth of creative ideas and knowledge. Seeing other creators’ work can spark your own creativity. It’s important to distinguish between inspiration and copying. You can still be true to yourself while taking inspiration from others.

Now that you have these new tools in your arsenal, it’s the perfect time to dive into TikTok. This is your ticket. This is not a simple platform, but a place to compete for attention. Be brave. Experiment. You can dance if necessary. Just keep on keeping on.
