What is TikTok?

In recent years, it has become more popular as a social media platform, it is a great app for entrepreneurs and companies to share their content and reach a new audience. TikTok is unique in that it allows users to create short videos (15+ seconds or less) that can be shared with others on the app. This makes it a great tool to promote your business or products.

A few months ago TikTok created a paid app, where the most famous brands publicized their products. It is called TikTok for business, But to grow up into this app it is not necessary to waste a lot of money, you can earn organic followers, and show your products without pay, you need to be original. 

At the beginning of TikTok

This Douyin app, which means “shaking music” better known as TIK TOK, originated in China in September 2016, created by ByteDance in Beijing, making it all the rage worldwide.

This new social network became known for generating short videos of 1 minute or less, allowing you to create, edit and upload videos in «Selfie» format, applying special effects without requiring extensive editing skills.

How does the TikTok algorithm work?

It automatically detects the user’s tastes and preferences, based on their searches, likes, comments, geolocation, trending songs, hashtags, and even those videos that you ignored or marked as negative. The main objective of this app is for the consumer to spend a lot of time inside it interacting.

Under the “For you” section, all the videos of interest are shown, the objective of the app is to not let you go to another platform since it is constantly projecting relevant content for you as a user. 

5 tips to improve your TikTok profile 

  • Use current content trends: Tik Tok algorithm promotes content aligned with the current trends because people want to see the freshest and most engaging content.
  • Don’t create long videos: In Tik Tok the time of the videos, ideal is 30-40 seconds. Too short, and the message can be unclear; too long, the viewer loses interest and may check out or move on before showing the essential information.
  • Post original content: It is important to create relevant and original content, to make a difference between competitors. By posting every day, you can collect feedback on what is effective, this will help you to find a design that works, doing marketing success.
  • Use subtitles: It also allows users scrolling without sound to access your message, creating an impression and preventing them from skipping the video. It also helps you to access people who have impaired hearing.
  • Add a call to action: If you have another social app, copy the link and paste it into the biography, this will give you the opportunity to increase your followers. Tik Tok has the bottom of Instagram, users click here and go directly to it.
