TikTok has become one of the most used social networks of the moment. Thousands of users spend hours on TikTok and the vast majority ask themselves more than once… How to get more visibility on this social network? Well, The secret to being successful on TikTok is to understand the workings of the system and approach it with proven strategies.
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:
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.
You can use #fyp, #foryou and #foryoupage – but you should also look at what other hashtags are trending. Tap the discover button on the bottom of your app and it’ll show you trending ones there. You can also start typing in a hashtag in the search bar, press enter and the navigate over to “Hashtags” to see what pops up.
