How to Get Followers on TikTok - Find Out Now

Every few years, social media and content distribution finds new means to get distributed. There is always a hot new website that the next generation flocks to, forgetting the old ones on the way. There was Orkut, then Facebook and Twitter, then Instagram and Pinterest, and now, it’s TikTok

The popularity and viral reach of TikTok can be attributed to its ease of use, its accessibility, and its ability to put out high-quality video content even for people with no expertise in video editing. According to the latest statistics, there are more than 500 million monthly users on the app.

Building a dedicated fan base on any app is difficult, and it is the same with TikTok. Often the content from TikTok finds its way to other apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, making it go viral and earning people followers, but you can’t always rely on that. If you want to gain followers on TikTok, there are some things you could keep in mind to eventually turn yourself into a big account.

Be Regular

People are not going to notice you if you post your videos once a month. If you want to gain popular support, you need to keep making and posting videos regularly to get noticed. Try to make sure you post your videos at times when most of the local crowd is awake and online. 

Be Original

If you see ten people making the same type of videos, don’t stand in line for being the eleventh. You won’t get very far. Take some time to think of what your brand is and what you’re good at. Are you funny? Are you good with pets? Are you good at dancing or lip-syncing? Find a niche that works for you, and make your videos based on that brand. You will have the freedom to explore after you’ve built a solid base for yourself.

Stay in Touch

Do you see a viral challenge going on? Do it. Do you see something that can easily be made into a duet? Do it. A harsh truth is that no matter how great or original your content is, you won’t get very far if you don’t engage and interact with people on the app. A friendly gesture goes a long way in earning followers. Hashtags and trends are your best friends.

Watch and Learn

There are people on TikTok with millions of followers. You don’t have to copy their content, you have to study their strategy. Make notes of what they do. Follow the most popular TikTokers.

Use Existing Social Media

Do you have a good follower base on Instagram or Twitter? Shamelessly plug in your TikTok there. I know several people who joined TikTok just to follow someone whose content they found on Twitter.

Use Those Tunes

Subconsciously, everyone wants to watch a video that’s playing their favorite song, even if they’re not particularly interested in the content. To make more people watch and stay for your videos, incorporate popular songs in them.
