1, For You Page
Everyone’s For You Page is completely different, TikTok’s algorithm uses machine learning to determine what content a user is most likely to engage with and serve them more of it, by finding videos that are similar or that are liked by people with similar user preferences. There are a number of factors that influence what you see on the For You Page, such as:
- Level of engagement such as likes and comments within a specific timeframe
- The number of people that share the video in 24 hours.
- Full video views
- Video rewatches
- The hashtag used for the video
- The number of followers that is gained from the video within the first 24 hours
2, Jump on Current Trends
TikTok is an ever-changing platform, with trends coming and going within weeks. If you want to increase your visibility and crack the algorithm, make sure to jump on these trends from time to time. You can do this by browsing through the Discover section on TikTok, and look for the most popular hashtags and challenges. Find a hashtag or challenge that fits your personal brand, and give it a go.
In addition, you can also look for songs or sounds that are trending. You can find these in your video editor. Or have a look at sounds your viewers have listened to, which you can find in your account analytics. This data will give you an idea of which songs to try.
