Despite first impressions to the contrary, TikTok is a significant company. This tutorial will take you through each step of setting up a productive, ever-growing TikTok for Business account.

To help business users become inspired when making TikTok content, the Company Creative Hub (link) has been created. It offers tutorials on content production and continuously shares popular material to benefit all users, from novices to experts. 

One of the greatest ways to rapidly become knowledgeable about app engagement best practices is to use the Creative Hub. Go to “Business Suite” in the app’s “Settings and Privacy” menu to access the Business Creative Hub.

With the help of TikTok Shopping, users can shop for goods online without ever having to leave the app. When a person has enabled TikTok Shopping, you can tell because their profile will have a special shopping tab indicated by a little bag.

Methods for utilizing the TikTok algorithm.

Although TikTok’s algorithm consists of a complex web of variables, its objective is straightforward: it presents users with information that matches their interests based on past interactions.

The following are a handful of the variables that TikTok’s algorithm looks at:

  • Content that you enjoy, revisit, comment on, and finish.
  • You interact with hashtags and captions (or incorporate them into your own work)
  • Content that you look for.
  • Popular music on videos that you interact with
  • Account options such as posting location, device type, and preferred language.
  • Items that you have designated as “not interested.”

You want your video content to appear on TikTok’s primary discovery page, the “For You” page, which is why it is crucial to fiddle with the algorithm. Because the TikTok algorithm places material on the For You Page, it is the aim of every artist to get their films in front of as many people as possible. 

Here are five strategies used by prosperous TikTok makers to game the system and make their work viral. To incorporate them into your own marketing, the company Raffiti can build social media content that will directly boost your brand with these key moves. 

Give user-generated content priority.

Any type of material (in this example, videos) produced by real TikTok users, not by brands, is referred to as user-generated content (UGC). Setting it as a top priority is an effective way to develop audience loyalty fast.

This is due to the fact that 56% of users on TikTok sense a stronger connection with companies that post raw material with regular people. Because user-generated content (UGC) is produced by real consumers who like your business and want to showcase the benefits of your goods without receiving any payment, it appeals to viewers on an authentic level. 

Furthermore, it turns out that customers are more inclined to stick with a brand they believe in. Gen Z users like authenticity; over the past year, their weekly TikTok usage has climbed to 63%.

Encourage clients to tag your company in their posts on social media to create user-generated content (UGC) for your business. 

Make sure to look for user-tagged material on your branded hashtag if you have one for your company.  This increases the visibility of your goods and services, which broadens the audience for your marketing campaigns and may provide you with an algorithmic boost.

Give TikTok advertising priority.

TikTok advertising has the power to alter your perspective on digital marketing. According to research, TikTok advertisements with an emphasis on user-generated content (https://www.copyrightuser.org/understand/rights-permissions/user-generated-content/) (UGC) perform better than other digital ad placements, such as ads on Facebook (by 32%) and more traditional digital ads including Google ads (by 46%).

These figures provide compelling evidence for redirecting your digital advertising spending away from other placements and toward TikTok.

Look up popular audio.

If the sound is approved for TikTok, you can also directly take it from someone else’s video. 

Tap the rotating, circular symbol located in the lower right corner of your screen to extract a segment of audio off a video.

Observe interaction using analytics.

You may utilize the statistics on your TikTok during Business account to better understand what material your target audience finds engaging and to improve the quality of your own content. Utilizing these KPIs will eliminate any uncertainty from your TikTok marketing plan, which is its main advantage.

The in-app metrics of TikTok are divided into four groups:

Overview: Monitors follower count and interaction.

Content: Monitors your most viewed videos.

Followers: Provides demographic and audience growth breakdowns

Live: Presents key takeaways from live footage

You may also monitor the performance of trends over time with global information like hashtag views and on the Discover tab. You will be able to tell if a pattern is still worthwhile writing about. If videos about “my coffee ritual” were quite popular a few weeks ago but are seldom seen now, you know it is not a smart idea to continue with that.

Enhance your TikTok marketing approach with a planning instrument.

The next stage in developing an effective TikTok marketing plan is to produce content now that you have gathered all the necessary components. Basically, the data you have compiled up to this point should give you a keen sense of what your customers and followers are looking to get from your brand. If you listen to the analytics, comments, and gauge interactions accordingly, you will stand to receive the benefits of a strong advertising campaign. 

If you are unsure of how to read analytics, or to build a campaign around the results and client social media interactions, there are companies that build content and marketing strategies based on this precise data. Do not be afraid to reach out to them and have a custom campaign built for your business which will maximize your advertising budget. 

If you do not have any experience in building a social media marketing strategy, this may be the best decision for you at this time. After a successful campaign, you can branch from it into building your own marketing strategy to reap the benefits of it. However, sometimes it is best to leave it to the professionals in the field of marketing on social media accounts.
