TikTok has taken the whole world by storm, so it makes sense that many are already dreaming of becoming popular TikTokers. There are life hacks that can help you increase the popularity of your videos and post a real viral video.
We’re going to talk about the best ways to draw attention to your content on TikTok, so keep reading and you will be popular!
Cool TikTok Videos of Today
Before we get into how to achieve popularity on TikTok, let’s take a look at a few TikTokers who have already achieved this goal in the past year.
Will Smith with ‘Wipe It Down’
In the spring of 2020, the “Wipe it down” trend was popular, where the hero of the video stood in front of a mirror and wiped it with a cloth. When he wipes the mirror again with a rag, he will be reflected in it in other clothes.
Unsurprisingly, when Will Smith shot this video (with a reference to Men in Black), the video went viral. Sure, Smith already has a following, but he knew exactly how to get the audience to react to his video by referring to one of his most popular films and making a trend that everyone will recognize.
Tabitha Brown and Carrot Bacon
Tabitha Brown has become one of the most popular video creators on TikTok, teaching app users how to cook delicious homemade vegan recipes.
However, Brown gained additional attention when she taught viewers how to cook carrot bacon. (If you’re curious, this is done by seasoning thin slices of carrots in a specific way and then placing them in a deep fryer.)
Brown has truly found her niche and succeeded in it, becoming the queen of unique vegan recipes and comforting love videos.
Tips for creating great content on TikTok
Now that we’ve listed a few of the trends from last year, are you already feeling inspired? If so, here are some tips on how you can get attention.
Pick a niche and stick to it
Choosing a niche is one of the most important steps to gaining popularity on TikTok. Do you want your videos to be viewed in a specific circle of people? Once you choose your theme, stick to it. This will help your subscribers know that you are posting exactly what they like.
Choosing one niche may seem daunting, but it’s not difficult. Just ask yourself what kind of videos you would most like to create and here’s the answer.
TikTok attracts a wide variety of people, so there is likely to be a target audience for you as well. Every TikTok channel is filled with people and video creators just like you. Find popular people in your niche, use them as inspiration, and partner with them to grow your channel.
Follow the trend or be different
There’s always something trendy on TikTok, whether it’s a dance, a remix of a song, or a new challenge.
One way to make your video go viral is to join the trend, as famous creator Addison Rae did, using the Distort filter to give the impression of smoke coming out of her mouth. So many tried this trick, so Addison decided she had to join the trend and her video went viral.
You can also collect a large number of views using the exact opposite method. Ignore trends completely and create something completely unique. One effective way to gain attention is to create a completely different video.
Choose the best hashtags
Hashtags are a very important part of posting on TikTok because they direct your videos to different users’ pages. Using the right hashtags can grab the attention of users on your topic, which will help you grow your followers and get your videos to be seen by as many people as possible.
When choosing hashtags for your videos, pay attention to which ones are trending right now. Incorporating trending hashtags into your captions will help your videos appear to more people.
You should also include hashtags in your captions that include keywords when describing your videos. For example, if you’re running a baking channel and trying to make a cupcake baking video go viral, you should use #CupcakeBaking.
Try to understand the algorithm
Understanding TikTok’s algorithm is important because the algorithm controls who sees what. If you manage to use the algorithm to your advantage, you’ll have a better chance of becoming famous on TikTok.
It is these factors that influence what users see on their page, how they interact with users (what people like, what they share or comment on). TikTok also takes into account information such as whether users are watching to the end of the video or flipping through it.
Understand the psychology of top content
The five main factors that play a key role in TikTok’s virality are repost, remix, react, play, and invention.
Now that you are inspired by popular posts on TikTok and have tips to help you, you can become popular. Good luck creating new trends!
