Do youwant to increase your followers on TikTok? With some of the platform's stars making literally millions per post, it's no surprise that becoming a professional TikTok content creator is a highly fashionable career. Who doesn't want to be paid jackpots to make fun videos and live in a mansion?
While unfortunately not everyone can become a full-time TikTok star (otherwise, literally everyone would), there are some easy ways you can take your TikTok numbers to the next level and boost your personal brand.
Here are 5 tips to increase your followers on TikTok!
1. Find what makes you unique
Finding your own specialty is what will help you differentiate yourself on TikTok. Sure, when the platform started, it was enough to look cute and dance, lip sync, or play pranks.
But now that the platform is saturating with more people, it is becoming more important to stand out, something like Instagram! From chefs to calligraphers, there are some talented people who do really creative things on TikTok, and amass a lot of followers for it.
So think about what your unique abilities are. Do you know how to make pretty unicorn colored smoothie bowls? Do your friends always congratulate you on your awesome writing? Do you have epic makeup skills? Can you play an instrument? Find your strengths and show off!
2. Production value
You don't need a $5000 camera and professional lighting setup to make amazing videos on TikTok. The beauty of this is a bit how raw and quirky they can be, not to mention super short. But, making some simple adjustments to your gear can really improve the quality of your videos and make it look super professional.
This is even easier to do when you are at home in auto-iso and you will always take your videos from the same place.
3. Collaborate with others
TikTok houses are totally on to something with their approach to making videos. They always appear on others' TikToks!
These videos are not only much more fun to watch (especially if they involve a dance battle) but they are super smart because it means they have access to others' audiences. Since you can tag your friends in your videos, it means that your followers can click on that and say "ooh, it looks interesting, I'll follow it" and vice versa.
Obviously, you can't meet your squad at this time because of the coronavirus. But keep an eye out for fun challenges everyone can collaborate with your friends, like the Makeup Brush Challenge that took place earlier this month.
4. Embrace your personality
One of the best things about TikTok is how it encompasses the weird. Seriously, when has it been cooler to dance like an absolute idiot?
So instead of trying to be like everyone else, show your authentic personality.
If you're a little awkward, let that shine through in your videos! Super feminine? Don't apologize for that! Are you a nerd when it comes to everything Disney related? Make it the subject of your videos! The more you do well what you like, the more people will vibrate with your content.
5. Promote your content through other platforms
There is a good reason why all TikTok stars have Instagram/YouTube accounts and post to them often. They are not putting all their eggs in one basket, because you never really own your followers on social media. And if that platform closes, you don't want to be left with zero followers!
Also, being active on other platforms is a great way to make your content more widely seen. Try adding your TikTok to your Instagram bio and posting some teaser videos there, mentioning that you post more videos on TikTok.
You can also try to make some longer videos on YouTube, Facebook or Tangi, and link them to TikTok from those biographies as well. The wider your network, the more eyes will be on your epic content! And most importantly: the faster you can increase your followers on TikTok.
