8 TikTok Marketing Tips for Businesses

TikTok has become a hugely popular video-sharing app, which means it carries more and more weight in marketing. If you want to grow your business on TikTok, you shouldn’t miss the 8 TikTok tips that The7 covers in the article below.

TikTok has become a social network that is growing at breakneck speed. Even so, many people still think TikTok is only for “immature kids” doing silly pranks or pointless challenges. That is a completely mistaken idea. This platform is, and will increasingly be, a fit for people of every age and every interest. Challenges, life hacks, business tips, cleaning tricks, humor, pets, and more. These are exactly the things that make TikTok so appealing to people.

Do you want to use TikTok for your business but don’t know where to start? Here are the top 8 tips every business owner should know.


8 TikTok Marketing Tips for Businesses

TikTok Tip #1: Create an Account and Start Watching Videos on TikTok

TikTok tip #1

The first secret to getting started with TikTok is to create an account and watch a few TikTok videos. Before you start using the platform, it’s important to understand how it works and what kind of content people are interested in.

Start by creating your TikTok account and exploring videos with content related to your business. Begin with plenty of relevant hashtags. Follow a few accounts and engage with videos so that your For You page stays focused on the right topics.

TikTok Tip #2: Understand How Important the For You Page (FYP) Is on TikTok

TikTok tip #2

When you first download TikTok, take note of the terminology. You may wonder “what is FYP” and “why do so many videos use tags starting with #ForYou.” The For You page is TikTok’s home page. It is the first page that appears when you open the TikTok app, and it is also where trending videos show up. There are many theories about how to go “viral” and how to get your TikTok onto the FYP, but no one really knows how TikTok’s algorithm actually works.

TikTok Tip #3: Try Making a Few Videos and Don’t Be Shy

Creating your first video on TikTok

Once you’ve finished setting up your account and have a few ideas for TikTok content, it’s time to try making a few videos of your own. It may sound hard at first, but once you learn a few key tricks, it’s actually quite simple. You may also notice that many trending TikTok videos can be a little silly and rough around the edges… So try being yourself! You might even start a new trend!

TikTok Tip #4: Imitate, but Add Your Own Creativity

When you use TikTok, you may see that many videos have similar content. This is because TikTokers tend to follow trends and challenges! So if you see a video you like, you can recreate it as long as you add a few ideas of your own and give it your own signature. In fact, recreating content with your own unique take on the filming is a highlight of TikTok. So take inspiration from the videos you’ve watched, but “blend in without dissolving,” and remember to follow TikTok’s community guidelines.

TikTok Tip #5: Plan Your Content

Planned TikTok marketing

This tip works for every social network, and it is especially effective on TikTok. It takes a lot of time to come up with ideas, shoot, and edit videos, so you should do just one task at a time. Example: Spend one day only on brainstorming ideas for all your videos and gathering any props you might need. Next, set aside another day and shoot several videos. Once you have a batch of videos shot and saved as drafts on TikTok, you can make the final edits and make sure videos go out consistently throughout the month!

TikTok Tip #6: Don’t Obsess Over Video Quality

TikTok videos are made on your phone, so they don’t have to be perfect. TikTok users usually love authentic content made by ordinary people. That means your videos don’t need to look overly polished. Still, remember that lighting in your video is extremely important.

TikTok Tip #7: Use Trending Songs

Music is always important in TikTok marketing

The best thing about TikTok, and what made its name, is the background music in its videos! TikTok offers plenty of great songs with no copyright issues, so you can use almost any famous song in your videos! When you come across a song in a TikTok video that you like or want to use, just tap the song name to add it to your favorites. That way, you can easily find it and use it for your own video!

TikTok Tip #8: Add 3-5 Hashtags Relevant to Your Video’s Topic

Although no one knows exactly how the TikTok algorithm works, one way to get your video recommended more often is to use hashtags. So add every relevant # hashtag to your video caption. Some suitable hashtags for businesses, especially small businesses, include: #business #smallbusiness #businesscheck #supportme #businessowner #entrepreneur #hustlecheck #businesschallenge
