Tik Tok Virality Tips

Introduction

  • Reasons for not going viral on Tik Tok
    • Shadowbanned
    • Wrong content length
    • Two other issues (to be shared at the end)
  • Guarantee of more views if you follow all four steps

Step 1: Check for Shadowban

  • Run an account check
    • Go to the tools section in the Tik Tok app
    • Tik Tok will inform if your account or posts are being suppressed
    • Actions needed to be in good standing

Step 2: Create Content of the Right Length

  • Avoid middle-length content
    • Photo Carousels should be at least three photos, ideally 3-5
    • Viral potential for photos
  • Video Lengths
    • 5-8 seconds: Best for memes, text-heavy, or funny content
    • 27-37 seconds: Quick educational content or skits, green screens, breaking news
    • 1-3 minutes: Best for ranking in search, Tik Tok pays extra for this length
      • Aim for search terms within your niche
      • Do not stop at just over 1 minute; aim for longer but within 3 minutes

Step 3: Rank for Search

  • Tik Tok does not provide search ranking analytics
  • Use Metrol analytics
    • Offers details on where views come from
    • Suggests best hashtags
    • AI tool for creating descriptions
    • 30 days free access with code "Robert"

Step 4: Content Quality - The THW Method

  • T - Topic
    • Needs to be something people are searching for or is newsworthy
    • Use Tik Tok search and filters to check trending topics
  • H - Hook
    • First 3 seconds must grab attention
    • Use relevant visuals (e.g., show Elon Musk if talking about him)
    • Spend 80% of effort on the first 3 seconds
  • W - Watch Time
    • Key metrics: 70% past first 3 seconds, 50% to the midpoint, highest possible completion rate
