What Type of Content will Work on Tiktok?
The answer totally depends on an individual’s choice. You can upload anything from 3 seconds to 15 seconds in length and if needed you can combine multiples videos for 60 seconds. You just need to blend in entertainment with your business information to make a Tiktok video.
1. Bio Description
Tiktok provides 80 characters word limit for bio description. Take advantage of trending hashtags. Add SEO based bio on your Tiktok profile. Add a few searchable hashtags to be discovered on Tiktok. A quick formula to a captivating bio would be to add ‘who, what, why’ in your Tiktok profile.
2. Use Highlights
For example: Show behind the scenes which are extraordinary, show funny stuff you see behind the scenes to your business. Forex: When things don’t go right when employees doing something kind of fun.
Behind the scenes is a transparent way to grow your brand or business because it shows the people who you truly are.
3. Establish your Niche
You can really be known for your niche quickly. There are already tones of a niche in this app as in makeup world, travel, art, or fitness. So now will be time to get established in your niche. The trick will be to figure out how your niche works on Tiktok.
4. Pets and Kids
Two things are really doing well on Tiktok are Pets and Kids. If you do have a pet (you see a lot of fun pet videos go viral of being fun and playful with their pets) and any funny thing you come across with kids, you can record the TikTok video.
5. Access to Analytics
Sign up for the Tiktok pro account to get access to analytics. This is huge because by analytics you can see how is your Tiktok profile doing on the platform, how people are finding you, hashtags defining you, the gender, the age group these all are important aspects for Tiktok marketing.
6. Follow Others
Follow 100 to 200 people per day in your niche for example Gary V or entrepreneurs. Or 100 and 200 people that are following Gary V a day, they are also gonna follow back.
This is a follow and unfollow method to quickly establish your account but this is won’t benefit you much in the long run, for that you need to go viral by your Tiktok videos.

Jump on what’s already trending. You might not know this, there is a discover page on Tiktok like the explore page on Instagram. So, I recommend checking out what hashtags are trending on Tiktok accordingly, you can customize because using hashtags is going to be key.
