How to go viral on TikTok
Starting out on a new social media platform can be frustrating. You’ve got no followers and the only people watching your videos are the same four friends. What you need is a crazy amount of attention from across the platform, right? You need to go viral.
If you’re ready to learn how to get a higher chance of going viral on TikTok, we’ve got your back. We can’t guarantee your handcuffs rendition of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean will break the internet—but we know these tips give you a pretty strong advantage over the competition.
Post a lot.
TikTok users like volume. In the era of binge watching, we don’t want to wait a week between posts. Show off the creative, unfiltered, authentic you—and do it a lot. It can be difficult to predict which videos will take off, and which will forever remain underhyped, but posting a lot definitely boosts your chances of going viral on TikTok.
Follow trends.
From the splash page, you can discover what is trending on TikTok: the sounds, the dances, memes, and formats. Take them and make them your own. TikTok users love a familiar format that’s been done in a way that’s new and exciting. Be authentic, have fun, and interact—that’s the easiest way to connect with other users on the platform. Ok, we know this might sound boring. But some of the most popular viral videos are about relevance. Be relevant: absorb trends and current affairs. Know what people are talking about online. Listen to new music. All of these things can give you inspiration for your content, and help you find a new and fun way to engage with your audience.

Don’t be afraid to be inspired.
The beauty of TikTok is that we never really know what’s going to be trending yet. Look at the discovery page on the app, and you can see the diverse range of popular topics, songs, and dances. If you have a niche, you may want to try appealing to that specific corner of the TikTok audience, but TikTok doesn’t do interest feeds.
Your best bet is to cater to a wide range of tastes, but to do it in a way that’s uniquely you. Watch other users’ videos, and see how what they are doing appeals to you. Do you like a certain filter or backdrop. Do you like a specific way things are done. Come up with your own signature TikTok style, but allow yourself to be influenced by what other people are doing.
Know your limits.
TikTok appeals to our attention-deficit society. When users watch videos on TikTok, the average view time is 3 seconds before they move to the next. Learn how to draw your audience in straight away, and hold their attention.
