The best thing about a duet on TikTok is that the other person on the other side won’t have to approve or something. It is not like on YouTube when you have to ask permission to be in their video. 

You could literally take any video that is eligible for dueting and duet the crap out of it. Although, it is possible to turn off the duet feature. 

This means there will be some videos you cannot duet on TikTok by default. Before we get into nitty-gritty details, let us first talk about; 

Meanwhile, we have a post for those who have ever wondered if follow for follow method still works on TikTok. 

Perhaps you wanted to get more TikTok followers? Then, turn to our guide for 2022 where we list 50 different ways to gain followers and grow accounts on TikTok.

What is dueting on TikTok

Dueting on TikTok is a feature that lets you make reactive videos on top of the videos of other people. 

You can react, watch, or do something together with the video. You must already know that if you have watched TikTok just for a while. 

Because some of the users on the platform have been coming with incredible and creative ways to use dueting. 

You can even duet with a video that is already being duetted with. What that means is that you can react to a react video. 

That is one of the coolest features of the platform and one that is not utilized often. Because dueting itself does the job if you are looking to get more views and likes. 

How to duet on TikTok (on Apple & on Android)

Dueting on TikTok is not hard at all, regardless of the operating system, you are on. All it takes is just a few clicks and you are duetting with someone. 

• To start a duet, you need to open the app, and find the clip you want to duet with.
• Then, click on the share icon and choose duet from the options

This is pretty much all it takes to duet with any video that allows duetting.  You should not freak out if you are not allowed to duet with some of the videos. 

As we mentioned,  the user has control over the permissibility of this action. The videos should also not be private. 

If you want to know to control this, let us quickly talk about this too

So when you are about to post a new clip onto the platform. Just before the last step when you should click on the post button, you will have three toggles. 

The middle of which will be the option to toggle the permission to duet. 

Using duets as a means of collaboration for businesses has been a great catalyst in driving business accounts. 

How to duet on TikTok with a video from gallery 

The quickest answer to this question will be no if this was all you needed to hear. 

But we know that you probably won’t take no for an answer and will be looking to find ways to make duets with a video that is already saved on your device. 

This is fact is possible, but is a bit tricky and takes a few steps to go through before you can actually post it. 

We cannot go over each step, but will explain to you the idea behind it so that you can do what you intend to do; duet on TikTok with a video from the gallery. 

You will need to download the video you want to duet with. There is a small caveat here. 

You remember that dueting was a feature that is not possible for everyone unless the owner made it so on purpose. 

The same logic applies to downloads as well. On TikTok, you have control over the possibility of the downloads. If you set the toggle to no, then your videos won’t be downloaded. 

Considering you found a video that fits all the prerequisites, we can go and explain how to duet on TikTok with a video from the gallery. 

To duet with a gallery video

Once you downloaded the video, you will need to go to your TikTok and go to the post screen without really posting, and click to add another video and choose the one from your gallery. 

Organize them side by side so that it looks like it was duetted. But what you are really doing is just cheating the viewers to think it was a duet. 

This is why you should add the user after the hashtags and let them know that you are dueting if you think it is necessary. 

Does TikTok notify when you duet ?

Now at this point, there may arise a question if TikTok notifies the user of your duet?

The answer is yes, the TikTok usually notifies the account being duetted with. 

There are some ways to avoid this if you don’t feel like letting the user know about this. But that depends on how much you don’t want them to know about this. 

Because the only way to stay away from letting the user know is by blocking them right after you duet. 

As a matter of fact, when you duet, if TikTok notifies the user, this is not a big deal. As it will help them too. 

We will talk a little bit about why you should consider dueting and making that a habit to grow your account faster.

Why to duet on TikTok 

Dueting on TikTok is one of the best ways to get more followers, views, and likes. When you react to something that is already popular, your clip is also likely to become popular. 

But this works both ways. For example, if you react to something that wasn’t so popular, but you were so creative that your reaction went viral. 

Then the original account will get some benefits from your duets too. So, when you are dueting, don’t think about it like you are leeching something off of the user. 

But think of it a different way as if you are adding more value to the video. The more value you add, the more your duet is likely to get more views and likes.

When you go viral or become popular, you will have the chance to be featured on the official site of TikTok as one of the creators to duet with. 

Now that is a goal worth chasing.

Final Thoughts 

Dueting is a feature that only belongs to TikTok. There is no other social media platform that allows you to react to other peoples’ posts. 

This brought a great deal of opportunity for the world and for those wishing to become influencers.

If you have not hopped on a train with the dueting thing yet. It is still not too late, and you should get on board as soon as possible. 

If you go to TikTok and write the #FYP hashtag you find out that there are 14178.6B views as of the time of writing this article. 

By the time this article gets indexed and ranked, you will probably see a totally different number.

So the question remains all the same: what is TikTok FYP and how to get on FYP?

To the question of what is TikTok FYP, we will answer right away quickly and give you an example. 

Tiktok #FYP is a hashtag that shows the latest trends on the platform.TikTok FYP algorithm works in such a way that shows the videos that each individual will likely be interested in.

In that, feed on the TikTok FYP page is different and dependent on the history and the engagement of each individual person. Simply put, For You page videos are different for every user.

Now let us talk about how to get on FYP and the hashtags to get on the FYP, with some tips so that you could maximize your chances of getting views and likes. 

How to get on FYP

Getting on TikTok For You Page is not an easy task if you are a new TikTokker.  There are many things you need to do and follow a strict diet of strategies and tactics. 

If you are someone with at least 1k followers, things get easier and the likelihood of you showing up on the FYP page is far greater. 

However, despite that,  we will teach how the TikTok FYP algorithm works, and some TikTok FYP hashtags to help you get there, regardless of the number of followers you have. 

How does TikTok FYP algorithm work 

Let’s explain this seemingly mythical and magical feature that many social media platforms have today. 

The algorithm follows a set of codes and works in a predictable way. Yet for some people, it seems otherwise. 

On the one hand, some people think understanding the algorithm will help them get on the TikTok FYP page easier, while on the other hand, this is not really the case. 

As one needs to know and understand more than just the algorithm to get on the TikTok FYP page and focus on far more important aspects than the TikTok FYP algorithm. 

However, if you are interested and want to find out how does TikTok FYP algorithm work, this is how:

The very second your video is posted on TikTok it gets shown for two types of people. 

This might seem a bit overwhelming or hard to understand but we will go through each step and box in detail and explain to you how the Tik Tok algorithm works.

Before we move on, it is important to mention that there will be a chapter on TikTok FYP hashtags, and how to make the best of them. 

If you are just interested in learning about the hashtags part, click here. 

It seems a lot has been happening since the moment your video was posted, right? 

First, let go down the “followers route” to explain how this side has the power to make your video go viral. And, for the sake of simplicity, we will just name the next chapter accordingly.

TikTok followers 

Did you ever notice that when you open the app on your phone the first page you are on is actually a “For You” page? 

Unlike many other platforms, especially Instagram, TikTok wants the creators to be discovered and be able to do that far quicker. 

That is the reason why, For You page is the default, whereas on Instagram you would only see the posts from those you follow.

This helps the new creators to be discovered and explored if they have good content and are picked by the algorithm we have just drawn up top. 

That also means the engagement and the views along with the duration from the new users matter just a bit more than the followers. 

On the contrary, if you constantly make good videos, and you get the same person to view, comment, like, share, etc. more than once with your video. 

This is a great sign that the person likes your channel and the algorithm will be automatically showing your videos first to that particular person.

The more the user engages the more you will be on top and on their FYP page. So, this goes hand in hand with the new users.  

If you have good content and you gain traction from the new users, your clips will be shown to more new people which in turn will gain even more traction. 

So, it is all related and the core, the root cause is your content. 

It is no wonder every blog post you read, or every other YouTuber keeps telling you to work on your content. 

You can’t imagine how important the content is on social media platforms these days. 

Tiktok FYP algorithm 

Considering that your videos are first shown to the general public, it is also important to get some reactions from not just the followers but first-time visitors.  

This goes to prove the same point again, that your content is really important and if you are looking to be liked by the algorithm that is what you should pay attention to. 

Once your video is shown whether to your followers or new people, there are three things that matter the most (in no particular order): 

• Engagement 
• Views 
• Watch time 

These factors are important regardless of the person watching the video. If you focus on increasing the metrics of your video. You are going to be viral in no time. 

There are, however, secondary factors that the TikTok algorithm takes into account as a whole. 

Yet these three are taken into consideration when placing your video on the FYP page. 

That is the reason why we called this chapter the TikTok FYP algorithm, even though there is just one algorithm on TikTok. 

The secondary factors are captions, sounds, hashtags, location, and user history. 

The user history plays a big role if your video is being shown to that user for the first time. In fact, your video arrives at a certain screen depending on the user’s interactions and history.

For example, if your video is DIY videos, and the user has watched a bunch of those, you are likely to show up no matter what. 

However, his reaction and engagement determine how many like-minded people are going to see your video. 

The more engagement and views you gather from a certain type of people, the more followers and the more often you will be popping up. 

All things considered 

Apart from the second we have quickly touched on the importance of engagement be it from your followers or new viewers. 

Those are the bread and butter of the TikTok algorithm, meaning that is what they pay attention the most to. 

So, now let us assume you have excellent content that gets a lot of attention. The way it goes viral is if you have many people engage with it, and engage with it from the moment that is posted. 

The more your subscribers engage the more it will be shown to people of that interest. The more those people engage, the more it will keep being shown to various different types of people with all kinds of interests and hobbies. 

So, assuming that your video was shown to group one and the video received positive reinforcement, it will be automatically shown to the next group, so on and on.

Interests of users matter 

Now how does the algorithm decide to show your video to people with different interests?

Now let us look at this pie chart below and imagine this is the report of your viewers’ interests. 

Your video was shown initially to your followers who have other interests like gaming and the next wave was shown to a number of new visitors with the same interest. 

According to their reaction, the video keeps being shown to the next, group and next group, whosoever has the most engagement, your video will be popular among them. 

This is why you might hear many gurus talking about niche selection and how targeting a select few is important. And they are right. Even from the point of algorithm and the potential to be on TikTok FYP.

But it is not just the group with the same interest, the more views and engagement it gathers, the video continues being shown to all kinds of other people as well. 

As we mentioned, even the location will be an important factor for when the video is distributed.

Algorithmic hell or heaven?

We have examined how your video gets shown to people of one type then, depending on their engagement and views, to the next, and next, and so on. 

But what if you are just starting out and it is your first video?

You have no followers, and you have vaguely selected your niche which could change depending on the reactions. 

Let us assume this scenario and discuss how you make TikTok FYP heaven that delivers the views to your doorsteps or the hell which drives the traffic elsewhere, somewhere out where your videos don’t exist. 

Let’s go back to the point we have made two times already, and it is that content is the most important aspect of any algorithm. 

However, we won’t be talking about how to make the best content on TikTok or any other platform for that matter (we can’t stress enough its importance).

So when you think about the two scenarios of your video being shown to people. When you are new you won’t have the basic audience.  

Thus, if you have bad content, and no one likes, or comments, or views it. That video is doomed.

Of course, the TikTok algorithm is nice enough that it will keep recommending your video to different people even after the negative reactions. But that won’t happen eternally. 

The most effective waves are the first four, then it will be categorized as a less interesting video where it will be shown to the group that hasn’t viewed it until there are no more new groups of people left.

That is your responsibility to find out and make the best content you possibly can make. 

When you can make the best content there are a few things to make sure your video will be sent to TikTok FYP algorithm heaven rather than otherwise.

A few things to send your video to “algorithmic heaven” 

If you google anything relating to the type of video you should make you end up reading all kinds of stuff with nothing useful. 

There are many sites now that list all kinds of stuff without really explaining the fundamentals of the video streaming platforms. 

No matter how many niches they write up or list on their blogs. There really are only three categories regardless of what platform you are in. 

You could be making videos for YouTube or TikTok. The main reason many people turn to these platforms is either for entertainment or education or perhaps, occasional inspiration. 

TikTok especially with the introduction of the new 3-minute video feature has attracted more people for all other purposes than just entertainment. 

Sure, the TikTok platform as a whole started as being one that promotes creativity and fun video. But as the platform grew, so did the creators and viewers of those other topics. 

So, those three topics are the ones you need to understand, and to choose one of them as a category for your TikTok niche. 

We say category on purpose as this is the third of the whole platform’s possible topics. And with that being said, there are many other subcategories or topics within those three. 

For example, if you dance, sing, or make funny videos you are in the entertainment category. However, if you try to teach something, then obviously you are in the educational category. 

It may seem like there are many more categories than just these three, but, in fact, there really are not. Those are just the big categories within those three. 

Either way, mastering to amuse,  teach, or motivate audiences will be one of the best skills that may come in handy in your TikTok FYP journey. 

Value proposition 

On the topic of TikTok FYP and how to get there. We have discussed the algorithm and the big categories to really give you an idea on the video’s consumption culture. 

Now that you know, you need to be either entertaining, teaching, or inspiring people. You may come to understand what that actually means. 

What it really means is that you need to provide some real value. Be it in the form of entertainment or amusement. The viewer must get something. 

That is why the next big thing after the content is the value you provide. Of course, you might look at some chicks like D’amelio or Addison Rae, and think how come they are not providing any value?

This is a valid question, the answer to which is none, except some vaguely philosophical assumptions and accusations of the concurrent culture and the tastes of the audience. 

Yet, our postulating on the weaknesses of the culture will not bear any meaningful answer but instigate it even further. Especially if we were to take the popular presumption that they have quite a body. 

Whatever it is, if you really want to get on top of the TikTok FYP game, accept it the way it is and understand that life is not fair.

However, when it comes to algorithms, they are as fair as they get. Because it is just a set of codes running in the background that follows whatever the coder puts in. 

So, you understand how the algorithm works, and how important the content is while getting some insights into what the value proposition is. 

Why it is important is simple. It is important to keep the viewers on your videos and give them something to come back to. 

That makes 

very important!

Those few things 

Although we promised to go over a few things to send your video to heaven, that time has only come. Because before we give out a few good things, you have to understand why you need those.

Not just why, but how understanding the basics of algorithms, especially the TikTok FYP algorithm will help you get your content featured.

Because when you are doing those few things we will talk about next, you will always have to keep in mind what we have taught you above.

Now, finally for the moment of truth, what are they? 

• Optimizing the keywords/ hashtags 
• Engaging captions 
• Interesting content 
• Being unique and creative

Let us go over each in a bit more detail and teach you some practical things you can do right now to send your video to TikTok For You Page.

Optimizing the keywords and hashtags 

We are not going to hide the fact that you probably heard similar things somewhere else and we are writing about nothing new. 

Yet, we also want to reiterate the fact that those are truly the only things you have control over. So, why not make the things you can control great and to the best of your ability?

Because that way you get to control the destiny of your account and the possibility of going viral on TikTok.

Although just a few, these things do really matter and truly help your videos go viral. Let us get to it. 

Hashtag optimization

Tiktok is a platform that heavily relies on hashtags and keywords for its search algorithm to work. That is good news for the theTikTokers. 

Because in order for your videos to go to TikTok heaven all you need to do is follow a few rules, which we will talk about soon. 

Before we move on, there is just one thing we need to clarify. If you have heard that #FYP is important and is able to get your videos viral. That is BS. 

There is no one magical hashtag that gets your videos viral. It just doesn’t exist. 

The hashtags you use must be able to add value to the already great content you ended up with. How? 

Well, by explaining what the video is truly about. This means in most cases, you won’t even be using the FYP hashtag. 

Even if you were to use it, that just doesn’t guarantee you any positive results, let alone taking you up to the top of the TikTok FYP page. 

For example, you have a video where you make jokes. Thus, using hashtags #jokes #funny would be a far better fit than just FYP. Plus, you could specify it even further by adding what your joke is about. 

Continuing the example, if it is a your-mama joke, include #yourmama.

By narrowing down the hashtag not only are you clearly telling the algorithm what the clip is about but the viewers as well. 

If anyone ever lands on your page and sees your captions and hashtags, which they usually don’t, but if ever they inspect they should have a clear idea of what the video is about. 

The paradox is that you are actually doing this more for the algorithm than people. But the algorithm wants you to make viewer-tailored videos. Anyway, that is a win-win situation.

Keyword optimization 

Keywords are managed in much the same way as hashtags. Except you can include keywords where you cannot include a hashtag. 

Technically you can. But it is not ideal to be including hashtags everywhere you can. But the opposite is true with keywords but in moderation. 

Include keywords like the best your mama joke, funniest your mama joke, or something like that if you are in that same niche. 

Of course, keywords will be different, but you get the idea. 

There is a school of thought that puts keywords higher on the priority than the videos, thus first they make the keywords research before making any video on it, then move with the clip. 

So, if you want to be sure that there is an audience for your clips, you could adapt that strategy. 

This strategy is widely used on YouTube, but even with TikTok and under the goal of TikTok FYP, you could make use of it, and still gain something valuable from it. 

However, whether you choose to go with that tactic or not, don’t forget to include keywords in your captions, descriptions, and sometimes, as the first comment on the clip.

On the topic of captions, let us talk more about them. 

TikTok captions 

Another important warning before we move on. 

Tiktok has introduced auto-captions. 

Although many people are turning to auto-captions and think it is very comfortable, we are totally against it. We understand how the algorithm behind it works and know that auto captions are far too young to really understand what your video is about. 

So, stay away from automatic captions.

Now for the captions, and what you need to do to be on TikTok FYP.

Do you remember the three big categories of video consumption? 

You can go back and refresh your memory if you don’t, the idea is that your captions should literally tell you what your video is about. 

Additionally, it should attract the viewers by : 

• Intriguing; 
• Asking a question;
• Telling a fact;
• Depicting a story;
• Shocking with quote; 

Whatever else you can come up with. You may be familiar with the cliche of clickbait.

The idea is not to click but to really come close and at the edge of truthful depictions that it lures the mind of a viewer.

Above are just some of the ways, where there are way more and more unique/creative ways. You will have to come up with some yourself. 

Don’t be afraid to be bold and outspoken.  You can also learn it from other people in your niche and model it somewhat similar but different. 

Interesting content 

We were constantly saying that content is important and there is no choice but to reiterate that again. 

However, what makes good content then? 

Good content has three main characteristics: 

• It is interesting;
• It solves a problem;
• It is actionable;

This applies mainly to content within inspiration and educational categories. But you can twist it or mold it to fit into the entertainment. 

Also, when it comes to entertainment, it doesn’t have to be actionable. But can you change that part to be creative or unique? 

That just depends on what you prefer but there is also another important idea you need to understand. 

It is also one that we mentioned a bit earlier, but also one that is equally important. And it is the value proposition. 

We won’t go deep in detail because we already did. But you should take that concept and apply it to your content. 

Best of all, advice and recommendations will always be that you should be unique and yourself. Yet, keep in mind that you being you is not enough and requires you to work harder. 

To wrap up 

In wrapping up the TikTok FYP, let us recap what we have learned and what are some of the things we debunked and list the tips we mentioned.  

The TikTok algorithm gives each of your videos a fair chance and sends it across various groups of people with various interests, and gathers information of their reactions. 

  You can learn more about the insights shown in TikTok Analytics in our TikTok For Business post. Note, post insights are only available for Pro accounts, and switching to a TikTok Pro account will not cost you anything.

Depending on how positive or negative the reactions were, TikTok will circle your video around another group of people with different interests, sending it to the previous group who engaged with the most first, and if they keep liking and engaging it is sure to be a hit among them. 

After gathering the data from all the groups, the algorithm sends it again to groups of various people with various interests, including those who did act very positively.  

Your video goes from one group to another until there is no group left that has either viewed, liked, or ignored it totally. 

If your video received those positive reactions from the time it was posted, it is likely to go viral sooner whereas if it did not, it might just slowly disappear into the abyss of TikTok FYP hell.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you google “TikTok FYP”, there are some questions that pop up on the side as well, and those are usually the questions we answer within the article. 

However, with this term, there were only two questions and were not the kind that would have automatically been answered. 

What does FYP mean on TikTok?

FYP means “For You Page”, a personalized Feed, as it is referred to on TikTok. 

Either way, understanding this is just a hashtag that shows the latest trends and popular clips for each individual based on the TikTok algorithm. 

Can I use FYP on Tik Tok?

Yes, you can! And you should. But it is important to understand that using this hashtag won’t solve all your TikTok FYP problems.

Using the FYP hashtag on TikTok may just increase your chances a little bit, but it is likely that your video will be lost in the sea of millions of other videos that are also using that very hashtag.

“With TikTok life’s more fun when you live in the moment and go beyond to explore”, as the app description in the Google app store states.

Let’s now see in what ways the two most popular TikTok accounts are similar. And what they do differently to get TikTok famous

Differences and similarities

Different: Perth native, Teagan, and Sam Rybka are twin acrobats and dancers who once competed on “Australia’s Got Talent”. Once a regular corporate employee working 9 to 5 Chinese Australian, Wendy Ayche is one of the app’s biggest musers today.

Similar: Both have a successful YouTube presence with just under 6 million and around 13 million channel subscribers.

Different: Enthusiastic dancers since the age of six, Rybka tweens largely focus on jazz, ballet, tap, lyrical, hip-hop and countless other dance expressions. Wendy, however, is a beauty and lifestyle vlogger keeping a fancy fashionista image.

Similar: Both won (or better, earned) a TikTok jackpot with 7.8M and 4.6M for @rybkatweensofficial and @wengie, featuring all-time favorites – lip-syncing, copycat memes, and cringe compilations.

Get TikTok famous: What’s in it for you?

WHAT’S ON YOUR TO-DO LIST TO SKYROCKET YOUR TIKTOK FAN BASE?

Now as you know your chances of going viral on TikTok, here are the exact actionable tips to let you grow your following fast in 2021.

Let’s jump right in!

Tip #1 Pick a catchy name for your TikTok account

Nope, your @junkiebenny2898 doesn’t work! Your username is your actual fame instrument to have thousands follow you.

The best is to tap the way your real name unless it’s something you are sick of.

To get TikTok famous, it can also be your favorite film character. An iconic phrase (beware of choosing long ones though), a meaningful word in a foreign language (make sure it’s not in any way offensive in other languages!), or just a hobby you were doing since the age of two or so.

Keep it under 20 characters so that it’s easy for your fans-to-be to keep in mind. Let your creative juices to flow, it can be quite fun. The coolest thing is you are making a story of your TikTok quest!

Who does it best

All the Millenials-GenZennials on TikTok.

Take a look at platform A-listers: @lisandlena (who now deleted their account), @lorengray, @babyariel, @kristenhancher, and the rest. Don’t go overboard.

Tip #2 Have one-of-a-kind account photo

85% of Tiktok users never paid attention to what pictures they have on their accounts. Surprised why to bother then? Well, that’s the first thing your fans ever notice when they see your account! Surely you don’t wanna spoil all the hard work (and fun work!) you put into while shooting.

Who does it best

@dreaknowsbest has a pretty much explanatory profile picture (we love her simple nature-friendly shoot). Once TikToker of the year (11^th annual shorty awards), Pen state grad has grown her TikTok account to 3M+ fans through her sketch comedies.

Another great example of a picture-perfect profile is @vincentmarcus with his 900k+ fans. A Hollywood smile and raising eyebrows… All of a sudden it hits you up, this guy definitely has a sense of humor.

Tip #3 Write a terrific TikTok profile bio

Wish to up your fame game? Take a step further by writing a mind-blowing brainy and beamy profile bio for a fun-loving and care-free personality, a playful chic, or the most down-to-earth rising star.

A bio is just another shot to spice up your awesome video content and let others see another facet of you. Something like “When in doubt, laugh it out.” can go a long way. Do you still wish to skip?

Who does it best

A few really know about this. Hence, not a great number has anything as a bio on their TikTok accounts except for their Instagram, YouTube, and/or email address.

And even those who do tend to overdo it a bit. @gabe, a popular creator on TikTok (1.6M) is a perfect example with his bio reading “ex-Viner now just toking while ticking”.                                     

Tip #4 Stay connected to get TikTok famous

Did you know that a simple act of adding your Instagram, YouTube or both links may well be effective (of course if a reported 54% in engagement spike speaks to you) in increasing the number of followers across all your social media channels, TikTok included?

This is actually that famous “Cross” Effect that builds your personal brand.

But here’s a thing.

Remember we talked about your TikTok username? So make sure you have the same username on whatever social media you are in. It really helps potential fans to locate you easily and cross-follow you.

And by the way, you probably guessed it already, leave a link to your TikTok channel on your Instagram page, Snapchat account, Facebook profile… You got the game!

Who does it best

Look around! Do you see all the million-follower accounts? Check them out, friend – you’ll see that each has at least their Instagram @heyyouitsme.

Here are some TikTok profiles to play a copycat: @kaleymaurer, @zoelaverne, @lilhuddy, @noeneubanks, @whoelseyouthink (a joke).

Tip #5 To get TikTok famous, stick to your niche

Hey, you’ve officially refreshed your account, so what’s next?

A truly diverse character can’t be limited by any bounds, right? Wrong!

Sticking around with some sort of a niche, whether it’s sports, fashion, technology, gaming, dancing, traveling, drinks, motorsports or lifestyle, lets would-be-fans watch not a shoot, or two, but several.

More, in case you plan to earn some pocket change (or bigger bucks), picking a certain niche makes it easy for brands within your niche to approach you for a lucrative deal-of-the-day.

Who does it best

@glitterandlazers (3M) post quite a bit on fashion and make-up, while the dancing sisters @wilkingsisters (1M) feed us their choreography tricks; @lifeofasassystew(280K) skits portray life as a full-time air stewardess, and @trimbleandtwitch features a pair of doggos(!) with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (poor things ). A long list goes on and on…

Tip #6 A never-ending story of the Content King

Guess what? The two most important buttons for you on TikTok are Create (+) and Post. From what we’ve learned from a couple of hundred Tiktok profiles we swiped through over the past 7 weeks?

All of them have unique voices and …Post regularly to get TikTok famous.

From a couple of shots per week to a tenth a day. To state, between 45 and 60% of app users will upload a video once logging in.

Imagine a huge number of eclectic content discharged every second you breathe. What is says? Post at least 3 times a week to keep up with the Joneses. Period.

Who does it best

@ameliagething (7.3M followers), @hollyh (16M), @zephanclak (2.8M), @itsselmo (2.8M), @jannat_zubair29 (19.8M), and a hell lot more are keeping their accounts up and running by keeping existing fans happy by feeding them new posts daily.

Tip #7 Prey on your buddies

Whooh, that sound’s scary! Keep calm, no one is going to slay – just see what your look-alikes are doing and do the same. Just 10X better.

Remember, before we’ve said the content is the King?

Create flashy and whoopee, or punchy and creepy Tiktok videos to hit the soft spot of your fans. Just anything spicy and juicy is a sure shot you don’t wanna miss out.

The comedy-style lip-syncing, gripping slow-mo effect, or energy dance moves?

The answer – experiment with all!

Who does it best

@peytoncoffee (a daughter of a former Vine-today’s TikTok star Jason Coffee, yea, he is!) had no choice but to turn an app sensation with 5M fans and over 180M likes.

Her goofy comedic posts blow up everyone’s mind, a growing number of fans every moment she posts an update. @jadencroes is yet another comedic celeb with 18M+ fans from around the world watching his every move.

Tip # 8 Go live to get TikTok famous

What’s the coolest thing about your Live videos? The jump in the number of fans on your account.

A platform’s smart algorithm rewards the bravest among their midst by notifying fans of every shoot going live that particular moment, doubling and tripling your chances of getting an enormous amount of likes (TikTok hearts) and comments on your account, which in turn gets you a couple of million new fans.

Reading this makes you cringe?

I bet that’s because you only have a few hundreds of fans, and can’t go live. As for the record, you only can make live videos if you have at least 1000 TikTok followers.

That’s alright. There are shortcuts to getting a thousand TikTok fans, a bunch of hearts/likes and million views, or more.

A lot many articles online discourage you from buying any promotion services for your social media accounts, or to get TikTok famous. The question “to buy TikTok Followers or not to buy” never leaves the table when great content deserves to be seen by millions.

Yes, and it will on its own shoot up, someday around your first decade on the platform(?).

No, we are not pushing you to spend a few bucks and order your TikTok fans, views or likes. Just know sometimes the end justifies the means (whoever said that).

Who does it best

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry! Go over your besties profiles. You’ll see they’ve gone Live at least once over the last months on the platform.

“Live streaming creates a sense of community and a support system with our fans – the major reason behind the jump in engagement,” says @caleontweens boasting their 3. 3M fans on the app.

Why lag behind when you have to tell your Live audience so much?

Tip #9 Interact with your audience to get TikTok famous

Speaking of engagement, it is an absolute survival hack to reply to funny comments, take notice of what haters say, and make use of every new TikToker who made time to post a comment.

The worst thing that might happen is you’ll lose a potential follower; the most likely scenario, however, is that you’ll gain a couple of excited critics who would like your creative mastery as long as you engage with them.

On top of that, there are rumors that the platform algorithm boosts videos flooded with comments and hearts.

To mention, never turn off or delete comments!

No matter good or bad they will help you make it big on TikTok if you learn from how others see your content.

An account with 100% positive talks may also look fake. After all, we all have both pluses and minuses and you are not a happy exception.

The next time you post expect a hater to bark on it.

Who does it best

Look at all those grand profiles – @gilmhercroes (21.7M), @riyaz.14 (22.5M), etc. Initially, they’ve spent significant time making comments both on their own shoots and others.

Responding to fans over the first few hours of posting reportedly shoots your audience engagement at least by half, says @ondreazlopez (1.6M), another big name on the list.

Tip #10 Take a role in sultry TikTok challenges

You’ve been over a month on the platform, got the dynamics of its fortune wheel, and today is time to make it big.

How you do that?

“Getting involved in the TikTok challenges in really good and creative ways helps that content be seen and go viral,” says @rhia.official, one of the #Rocketman Challenge winners (3.8M fans).

Well, actually what the heck the challenge really is?

Imagine hundreds of guys mocking one move/action under the same/similar music vibes.

See 2020 @tshinnn’s Wipe it Down Challenge, April 2019 #OldTownRoad dancing challenge, 2018 #StairShuffle challenge, or a spicy Latino move #Loco challenge, and you’ll get the gist.

Who does it best

The winners for sure! Just search for #OldTownRoad challenge, #AllStarTalent challenge, #BigMac (yes, that’s your big Mac bro), #HappyBeautifulYear, or #BottleCapCallenge on TikTok. Pick the one which gets steamy with the most hearts and views, and learn its essence. From start to finish, to really get TikTok famous.

Tip #11 Hashtag, buddy, but don’t over-hashtag!

You might have mastered already the ever-elusive art of hashtags.

If so, just skip this part while we rumble on why and how to hashtag the right way, and who does it best.

At its core, viral hashtagging helps fans across the platform locate the clips that might interest them. There’s also a view that #foryoupage gets you featured on it, letting you grow your audience the fastest.

What we have found though after spending nearly half of a year on TikTok, goes the other way round.

No, having #foryoupage on every single post won’t harm you, but that won’t be as helpful as you might think.

The abundance of #foryoupage holds no magic today since slick TikTokers tend to abuse the hashtag, placing it on all of their 60-second creations (up to 40ish a day(!) at times).

Still, the most relevant hashtags do a great deal.

Efficient by a whole of 39% they helped brand new TikTokers get their cakes, and eat those too (consider views and fans).

Anything more than 5-10 is a little overdoing.

Who does it best

Have you actually noticed that most of the hugely popular TikTok profiles stroke a perfect balance of hashtag and no-hashtag videos?

@camerondallas (17.8M), @jakobsartorius (21.1M), @luvanthony (3.3M), and even TikTok goddesses like @babyariel (29.8M) and real-life Barbie @lorengray (34.4M) are all the best examples that viral hashtagging does help you just a bit. What they do instead is actually a handful of handpicked witty sayings closely related to the shoot, or a pair of cute emoji – a win-win combination.

Tip #12 Team up with a big wig

Ever heard the word duet? It’s definitely your thing when going to TikTok.

An estimated 43% of TikTok users have uploaded duet videos spiking engagement among their fans. And there’s a logic behind. Your fans see another cool persona to follow.

And the other star’s followers do just the same with your profile, exploring what kind of content you post, or rather how awesome you are.

Besides, your girlfriend/boyfriend or sister may also like the whole idea of cringe. Most of the time that gives a fresher look to your duet records, inviting new TikTokers to track your moves.

Interested in creating a duet, but wonder where to start?

Making a duet is as easy as ABC.

Just pick the video you want to make a duet with (from the videos suggested to you, or from the people you follow), open it in full-screen, tap the share button on your right, choose Duet from the popup screen, record a video, press Next and Post.

No more than that to get TikTok famous

Who does it best

Pepperony pizza lover, @payton (5M) is a multiple duets participant featuring his fellow social stars @kingtino (460K), @avany (5.2M), and @jadenhossler. The verdict – hanging out with a big-league is both fun and functional for the next TikTok star-to-be.

Tip #13 Tag in whoever is with you

Lines above we talked about hashtagging, right?

Tagging your band is a pretty good idea too.

Tagging a person sends a strong signal of collaboration, and makes it likely for him to comment on the video you tagged him in (a person will be automatically notified the moment you tagged him).

The goal of tagging is to draw a person’s attention to a specific TikTok video inviting to give feedback, or simply watch it. Or maybe you want them to know they are the true inspiration behind (of course if the recording is yours).

Okay, how you tag another TikTok user in?

You find a video you want to comment on and tap the comment button on your right, as the section with all the comments pops up, you’ll see the Add a comment, or Say something nice option at the bottom of it. Press @ and add anyone from your Following list. The red paper plane icon will close up the tagging process. It’s that simple!

Who does it best

Let’s say who does it the wrong way!

Everyone who tags more than two people at once, and on whatever Tiktok video they post.

Tagging only works when it’s relevant. Mentioning a bunch of unrelated people on someone’s creation is a proven way to get blocked by the crowd. A rule of thumb is to tag your buddies on videos you (or they) posted. No room for strangers, or VIP unless you want to get blocked by them as a pest!

Tip #14 Spy on viral postings and hijack their fame

Why not recreate popular videos?

Make a parody for a viral video, and leave a comment on it. You’ll see how it triggers your following and liking.

That said, it would be wise not to offend a popular creator you are mocking; keep the video lighthearted even when you are joking.

Genuine light-hearted humor is what gets you TikTok famous.

Making remarks on others’ videos you’ll steal attention only if the comment is relevant, humorous, and/or witty.

Keep in mind no begging for Follow me has ever made its way to fans’ hearts.

Who does it best

Anyone who has 10k+ followers. Yes, we mean it. Reaching 10k in the following is quite hard but certainly is attainable without digging deep into how the fame instrument works.

But even with 10 000, or 100 000, it takes more than an out-of-the-box approach. Not surprisingly, TikTok is a numbers game. More fans equal more likes, more views, and comments. The rest is history.

Tip #15 The right soundtrack can go a long way

“Music is the strongest form of magic”, Marilyn Manson once said.

Picking the right soundtrack is vital to increasing the following on TikTok.

There are thousands to choose from and millions of how to pick the one, yet bear in mind it’s pretty much intuitive.

The best way to find the right fit is to think of your mood while recording. Were you deliriously happy, or depressingly said? The next stop is motions – snappy or sluggish? There are no hard or fast rules about what the best soundtrack is.

Who does it best

As for statistics, most viewed TikTok videos in 2020 included diverse soundtracks like Don’t Lose Ur Head by Six feats. Christina Modesto (2 310 209 views), Shaun feat. Conor Maynard’s Way Back Home (37 826 390 views), Lizzo, Boys (21 017 777 views), The Git Up by Blanco Brown (7 214 205 views), Shot Clock by Ella Mai (62 857 095 views), and Sean Kingston’s Beautiful Girls (484 646 031views).

Tip #16 Follow/Unfollow Rule to get TikTok famous

Somewhere online you have already heard friendly advice to follow as many accounts as you possibly can, right?

Some even take it one step further by saying that you need to follow 30+ accounts daily (unfollowing them by the end of the same day). Let’s see how this works in reality.

Imagine yourself getting a handful of new followers on day one (Great!) only to have them unfollow you the next day (Oops!).

From another angle, the point of following someone is not to lure away his crew as it may seem, but to learn his tips and tricks.

You may tag them in your videos, and ask for tagging you back (just make sure you don’t stalk them).

The resume – follow!

Who does it best

@anywittymind, but not a super popular one?

That said, following only makes sense when a person you follow has less than a million fans. Just a few thousands or a bit more.

Follow a megastar and you’ll hardly get noticed among the crowd.

Tip #17 Slow and steady wins the race

Posting regularly, you’ll get more followers than by literally dumping all at once to hardly ever upload anything over weeks-to-come.

Scheduling your posting around the same time will help your fans break a habit to check in to view your smashing shoots once you post them.

Stick to a certain number of videos per day/week to get TikTok Famous. On average, TikTokers post between two to three videos daily, a hefty 20+ filmings a week (!). Who wouldn’t want that?

Before you say yes to it, ask if you can keep it going for months and, perhaps, years to come.

More, platform veterans say it helps the TikTok algorithm to track your posts better boosting your chances of getting featured alongside household names.

Who does it best

@harveybass (2.1M), @maxandharvey (5.9M), @zephanclark (2.8M), and many more who reached a six-figure fan base.

Getting famous didn’t happen overnight. For the majority, it took at least two-three months of consistent posting. Dedication is key, you know.

Now, you’ve nailed your profile, optimized your quality/quantity ratio, and kept the momentum going for quite some time, say a year or so.

The fan base has grown extensively, and lucrative offers are rolling your way.

Why leave TikTok at all?

WHEN IS THE TIME TO MOVE ON?

Being on the platform for so long chances are you’ve heard about @lisaandlena at least once.

In March 2019 the world’s favorite young influencers from Stuttgart, Germany, 17-year old tween-sisters Lisa and Lena Mantler have left their 32.7 million fans bitterly disappointed when announced that they no longer wish to continue on TikTok.

Anticipating lots of why? and what? they wrote on their Instagram page: “Going new ways also means to part with the old in order to make room for new“.

“We are growing up, our interests are changing and also the way we want to communicate with you, our community”, they added.

Incredibly thankful for blissful 3 years on TikTok, viral liking, and sharing, the two gorgeous blondies decide to part with the platform “which isn’t safe” (as their Instagram page says days later).

Many believe the scandal around the incident when users under the age of 13 were able to access the app, revealing email addresses and names without parents’ permission, has made it clear for tweens – it was time for them to break new ground.

Breaking new ground

Following the scandal, many complained as to why their TikTok accounts got deleted, which left so many more app users exasperated.

Reportedly a number of accounts got locked out mistakenly, when older users failed to verify their dates of birth due to some technical issues, and not because of their age.

“I’m 15, and not 13! The account actually brought me a ton of opportunities that are now completely lost just because they probably didn’t go about the situation in a very smart way”, as one of them shares.

That may be passed, but never forgotten.

After all, who knows when the TikTok algorithm decides to shave off another dozen winning accounts?

The Bottom Line

Hey, rising star, before you go, here is some food for thought:

• Popularity comes to those who hustle, playing around with their profiles, video shoots, and soundtracks.
• Experimenting is another key element to get TikTok famous. Accepting hashtags challenges, making duets, and teaming up with big shots may help you win fans and get a million views among international TikTok culture.
• TikTok is a numbers game. The more fans, hearts, views, comments, and shares you have – the more you’ll get.
• Following others, commenting on their videos, and tagging in friends on your short clips are all the proven ways to drive insane traffic to your TikTok videos.
• Posting at a regular interval over longer periods (with the bare minimum of 15 clips per month) helps your fans stick around your videos for good.
•   Accept that your TikTok presence is just a matter of time as nothing lasts forever. Our interests and opinions may change drastically as we grew older.
• Whatever it is that makes you happy – keep going! Even if thousands say “No”, be the one to break the mold. Dare to become TikTok famous in 2021!
