•  You must be constant: 

The TikTok algorithm is a blessing, but if you're not consistent it can become your worst enemy. Influencer Marketing Hub in 2018, commented that more than a million videos were uploaded on TikTok a day. Complete madness! That means that the competition is UNSTOPPABLE, therefore, it is best that you upload several videos daily. 

Our recommendation? Take a day to create content and upload at least 2 or 3 daily, chances are that some of them will go viral or be close to it.  

•  Make duets!

Dual videos are a type of content available on TikTok where you pick a post from another user, record yourself doing the same (or trying) and it is posted to the app in split screen. 

This video is very useful because it is attractive and refreshing, since it is not the usual content that you can see on other social networks. 

Check out this example! Spotify used a viral video where a boy taught his grandmother to correctly pronounce the word SPOTIFY, the lady ended up saying something funny and the brand made a DUO video where the name was changed.

•  Edit your content before uploading:

As we mentioned before, there are so many videos that people watch daily on TikTok that you need to stand out in some way against the competition. 

Edit your video before uploading it, add effects, music from the app that is trendy and add a description with popular hashtags related to your content. 

Check out this example! Netflix Latin America wanted to present the protagonists of its new series WINX. To edit their video they simply used the app's tools, adding creatively appearing text and some emojis.

@netflixlat Her name is Paulina, but you can also call her Flora 🌸✨ #Winx #WinxClub #DestinoLaSagaWinx #Flora #Series #NetflixSeries ♬ Bloom. Destiny. The Winx Saga. -Netflix Latin America

•  Share your profile on other social networks:

TikTok is in fashion! Buuuut… Your company may have an account here and many of your customers and followers from other networks don't know about it. So you have to advertise on other platforms that you are already present here to bring your community to your profile! Add it everywhere: web, newsletters or post.

• Analyze your progress and learn from your mistakes:

TikTok for companies offers statistics. Do not forget them and keep them in mind! You should also be very aware of which videos have attracted the most people. In this way, you will be able to better understand your audience and find your line of content.
