Today, I am discussing my feelings on Tiktok and how I feel about the platform in relation to other platforms including Instagram. If you are a content creator, influencer, or business and are wondering if you should get on this platform Tiktok, I’m going to give you my thoughts.
I’m sure you all have heard of this new platform Tiktok. Well’s it’s actually not new, as it’s former name was called Musically. Tiktok has become a popular platform so you may have some questions such as:
What is it? Why get on there? What's the hype? Why is it so popular?
Well I’ve been an influencer for nearly a decade (Wow that seems like a LONG TIME SAYING IT!)
I’ve had my:
- Instagram for 8 years (since 2012),
- Twitter for 11 years (since 2009) and
- Facebook (fan page) for 9 years (2010)
This past September, a friend of mine sent me a message about TikTok. They were looking to pay creators to come create content for the platform.
I had NEVER heard of it.
I was initially very skeptical. But – since they wanted to pay me to create content, I decided to give it a try. Not because I liked the platform or wanted to expand my brand, but I did it for the money.
So, now after being on TikTok for months, with thousands of followers and millions of likes and views, I’m going to give you my feelings on TikTok and why
I think TikTok might be more powerful than Instagram for influencers.
Tiktok is another social media app that many people have their eyes on.
You can grow so much more quicker on Tiktok than any other platform.
Why do I think Tiktok may be more powerful?
Let’s start with Instagram stories. Insta stories expire after 24 hours whereas Tiktok is more like Youtube in that the algorithm can pick up months later and push your content into people feeds. That’s POWERFUL!
Something you make once doesn’t disappear!
You can use this to drive alot of traffic and eyeballs to your content.
You can also get millions of views with VERY FEW FOLLOWERS.
This doesn’t really happen on other platforms.
I was able to double my affiliate income in just one month and push over 40,000 clicks to a store.
There isn’t any other app that can give you those kind of results right now.
The organic Reach is like no other platform.
The same thing happened with Instagram YEARS AGO.
The average people spend 52 minutes on TikTok vs Instagram at 28 minutes per day.
And if you haven’t noticed, you see Tiktok content on ALL THE other platforms- Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, even Youtube compilations- but do you see any of that content on Tiktok? Most Titkok content is original and fresh.
The original TikTok app hit 800 million global monthly active users. TikTok has continued to grow in popularity since then at a rapid rate.
My feelings on TikTok is- that if you’re a content creator, influencer, or business, you should definitely be on TikTok as it the hottest and most popular platform at this time.
