Howto & Style
Introduction
Hey guys, what's good? I’m Angie, and I’m back again with another video. Today, we’re going to dive into how I grew my TikTok platform from zero followers to a whopping 200,000 followers in just three months. If you’re curious about my journey, here’s the proof. I’ll be sharing the tips and tricks that worked for me, so let’s jump right into it!
Start Fresh with a New Account
If you’ve been grinding on TikTok without much success, my first piece of advice is to start with a new account. I personally created four different accounts before I finally hit the mark with this one. Some users might luck out with a viral video after years, but if you're looking for a better chance, starting fresh could be the way to go.
Plan Your Content
Before jumping into creating content, it’s crucial to have a plan. As the saying goes, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." So now that you have a new account, take some time to brainstorm and organize your ideas.
Choose a Niche
Having a niche is important for growing your following. While some content creators manage to blow up without one, your chances are higher if you focus on a specific category. You can either entertain or provide value. Personally, I opted for value by teaching viewers how to pose for pictures. But if humor is your thing, comedy is an excellent route as well.
Post Frequently
To boost your growth, aim to post at least three times a day. This might sound daunting, but consistency is key. When I was in full swing, I would dedicate a day to film 21 videos for the week. The more you post, the better your chances of blowing up, even if not every video goes viral.
Use Hashtags Wisely
There’s a debate surrounding the effectiveness of hashtags on TikTok. While some argue they don’t make a difference, I believe they help categorize your content. I tend to use relevant hashtags related to my videos instead of generic ones like "FYP" or "trending." For instance, hashtags like “poses for pictures” or “how to pose” worked well for me.
Selecting the Right Sounds
When it comes to sounds, I don’t obsess over how popular they are. However, I recommend using sounds that have between 20,000 to 100,000 videos attached to them. This sweet spot often indicates a sound that’s on the verge of going viral.
Research the Competition
A key part of my strategy was researching successful content in my niche. I would look at videos with the most likes in a certain timeframe, noting popular hashtags, comments, and titles. I even realized that making my titles more engaging could draw in more viewers.
Make Your Content Engaging
A common theme in successful TikToks is that something happens in the video that gets people talking. So I began to style my outfits in a way that piqued viewers' curiosity, prompting them to ask where I got my clothes. Getting people to engage in the comments is crucial!
Focus on Quality
Improve the quality of your videos to match that of popular TikToks in your niche. For instance, I transitioned from shooting half my body to my full body and switched from my front camera to the back camera on my phone.
Engage with the Community
One unexpected tip is to actively leave comments on other users' videos. I discovered my humor through this, as some of my comments received thousands of likes! Engaging with the platform can lead to better exposure overall.
Analyze and Adapt
After achieving some success, keep replicating what works! If a certain video format or type of content performs well, consider producing more similar content down the line. Just don’t overdo the same act repeatedly, as that can bore your audience.
Stick to Your Strategy
Lastly, even after achieving success, it’s vital to continue implementing these strategies. Although I’ve recently struggled to keep up my posting frequency, maintaining a consistent presence on TikTok will surely benefit you.
That wraps up my tips! I hope you found this article valuable as you embark on your TikTok journey. If so, I’d love your support in subscribing to my channel. Catch you guys next time!
