How to go viral on TikTok?
TikTok is one of the most popular social media apps! With more than 1 billion downloads, everyone is getting addicted to watching, liking, and posting on the new trending platform.
TikTok allows users to record 15-second videos and upload them for the world to see.
The content varies—from comedy skits and dance routines to lip-syncing and pranks, it has spread like wildfire among younger audiences, particularly with the Gen Z demographic.
Naturally, as you scroll, you can gather insights about how videos are going viral. Those trends and ideas are most of the time pretty simple, and that is where the process begins.
Here are some tips and tricks for creating successful videos on TikTok!
Choose a Popular Sound
If you are new on TikTok and don’t have a huge following yet, it is recommended that you use a sound that is popular.
Using trendy audio will not only give you a better chance to get views but will also have a chance to get onto the “For You” page.
The easiest way to pick a sound is to go onto the For You page and scroll until you find a video with a lot of likes using that sound.
Audio that you constantly hear on TikTok is very beneficial to creating potentially viral content.
Lighting and Background
When shooting your TikTok, be sure that the video will be of good quality.
If your video is bad quality, it is more likely viewers will just scroll past your vid and head to the next one without shakiness or low resolution.
Your lighting and background are very important. Make sure there is enough natural light in the room so your face is clear and not pixelated.
The background is the next important step to creating a successful video.
Viewers do not want to see your dirty dishes in the sink, or your messy room with clothes scattered all over the place.
Having a video that is aesthetically pleasing to the viewer’s eye is another factor that will benefit you greatly.
Getting on the ‘For You’ page will get you more likes, views, and followers, so it is almost necessary that your video gets onto that page.
Hashtagging on TikTok
Hashtags are another important factor in creating a successful content on TikTok. The hashtags will either make or break if you get on the highly coveted ‘For You’ page.
Using hashtags such as “#ForYou, #fyp, #ForYouPage” after your caption gives you a much better chance of getting on to the page.
Other hashtags to use are the ones that are trending, even if your video doesn’t make any sense with those hashtags.
The trending hashtags mean that people are viewing those videos constantly and using them with their videos.
You can find these hashtags right as you type in a “#” and they will be directly under.
Consistent TikTok Content
The key to TikTok is volume! Get creative, loop in some friends, get crazy. You never know what viewers will like so don’t hesitate to try the unthinkable.
It’s important to find a popular niche, create a theme for your page. If you want to post about makeup and beauty, try to stick to glam. If you want to post comedy, stick to comedy videos.
A page with high-quality consistent content is more likely to go viral because people will always know what to expect from them.
You will receive more followers as well since you stick to one category so people who are interested in that category will be loyal fans and followers.
All in all, it isn’t the easiest process to go viral on TikTok or create amazing and trendy videos.
Trends come and go rather rapidly on TikTok so try to have the perfect combination of speed and quality when creating content.
These tips and tricks are all ways to better your chances of getting your TikTok vid’s likes and views.
