TikTok took over thesocial media world. It is a fact. Many of us would love to participate in this craze too, become a blogger, create fascinating content, and influence people.
It is an absolutely real possibility, and pretty much anyone who wants to do it can do it. Still, it takes two major things to succeed on a platform like TikTok: a passion for creating content and knowledge on how to craft a viral video.
We can’t help you to find a passion, but we can help you to create a viral TikTok. Interested? Then keep reading!
Do your research
TikTok, like any social media platform, doesn’t work randomly: it is ruled by the mighty algorithm. We are sure that to make viral TikTok videos and make money online, you just need to know how this mysterious algorithm works. We can actually tell you the process (it is TikTok’s secret), but we can give you advice on managing the algorithm and becoming its friend.
The algorithm often changes, so some of our recommendations can become old even tomorrow, so do your own research too. But, in general, here are our tips on how to conquer TikTok’s algorithm.
- Use trendy music in your videos: since TikTok offers this unique option, it is only logical to use it to stand out in the feed.
- Participate in challenges. It is your job to be a TikTok personality now, and challenges are a big part of this community, so we strongly advise you to participate in them too.
- Make multi-part videos. Users on TikTok enjoy multi-part series, and they often go viral, especially if you have something interesting to talk about.
- Use a hashtag generator for TikTok and add appropriate hashtags to every video you post. You do this to give a search algorithm an idea of what your content is all about. It is one of the most effective ways to help you go viral so use hashtags!
Follow TikTok trends
TikTok is a social media platform, and like every social media phenomenon, it has trendy things that everybody follows. We totally understand if you don’t want to do the same things as everybody, but trends exist for a reason.
They represent the need for a particular type of content in the community, and you, as a creator, probably should follow this need since you make the content for your audience in the first place.
Of course, if you find some current trends stupid, dangerous, or absolutely opposite to your personal style, you can avoid these trends. However, we still think that at least some TikTok video ideas for your profile should go in accordance with current trends.
Edit your videos
Yes, it happens quite often that a simple video goes viral. However, in these cases, these videos are usually going viral by accident, and our goal here is to do a viral TikTok video on purpose. That’s why we recommend you edit your videos before you post them to make even a small 60-second clip look professional.
You can use a TikTok video editor, and it is pretty good. But for a video to go viral, it has to have some pretty unique editing, script, and premise. That’s why we do think that using professional video editors is a much better choice if you really want your videos to go viral.
We also think that you can use free video editors like Apple’s iMovie or Windows Video Editor since TikTok clips are usually pretty simple videos. However, if you find the Windows editor too simple or, like we, experience iMovie freezing sometimes, you can absolutely invest in a little bit more professional video editor. Maybe even into Adobe Premiere Pro, one of the best video editors for professionals, in our opinion.
Spice up your videos
Sometimes you don’t have time or energy to make a solid, edited video, but you still need to post something regularly, right? Social media do love quality content, there’s no doubt in it, but they still prefer creators who produce content all the time.
I guess here quantity over quality wins. Or, in our opinion, the good balance between quality and quantity wins here.
That’s why we suggest you make not only interestingly edited videos but also use TikTok filters, various interesting templates, and effects on them. Make something unique for your audience, something worth sharing!
Always learn something new
Even when you think that you know all the tricks that guarantee you a viral TikTok video, it is not the time when you can stop and only enjoy your success.
Everything in this industry is moving extremely fast, and your position on the platform can change from the top to the bottom in a matter of days! The only way that can help you to always stay among the best is by learning.
Do research, try to predict trends, learn new video editing tips to make your videos more interesting, ask fellow TikTokers, take online courses for influencers, etc. You can do so much, and we believe that a constant search for something new and exciting can help you become a famous influencer and remain so.
In conclusion
Creating viral videos is a new way to make money online. The method was previously unknown to most of us, and many people still can’t get how a random video creator can make so much.
But like with every new industry, we can’t skip this step of denial and make people believe that blogging is a decent serious occupation. Years will go by until it happens.
However, you don’t need to wait years to become a TikTok star: you just need to use our recommendations, and it will happen. All you need to do is start, so do not hesitate and see you on TikTok!
