My secret tactic for getting massive views 

I have had a hunch for some time that TikTok ‘reply videos’ are treated extremely well by TikTok in its algorithm. And nothing has happened to change my mind in that regard. In fact, my opinion has been strengthened by my increased us of ‘reply videos’ on TikTok in the last couple of weeks. The… Continue reading My secret tactic for getting massive views

TikTok reply videos-a sneaking suspicion

I have a sneaking suspicion that reply videos on TikTok perform better than any other type of video you might upload. A TikTok reply video is simply a short video replying to some comment on a previous video on your page. My rough, unscientific data and observation leads me to believe that TikTok treats these… Continue reading TikTok reply videos-a sneaking suspicion

The hubris and overconfidence of commenters on my TikTok account

It can be fascinating and frustrating to read many of the comments on my TikTok account when I publish a video.

The ability of TikTok, and video, to create connection

I have a decent following on TikTok-over 33,000 followers/fans. I publish my videos on the platform as part of my overall video distribution strategy but do not make anything specifically for TikTok. I do not answer questions, either, as there are far too many. Most people would probably give a lot of money for the… Continue reading The ability of TikTok, and video, to create connection

My First TikTok Live

I did my first TikTok live yesterday at around 11 am. It went well, a good crowd showed up and there were lots of questions which I tried to answer. I gained a little over 60 new followers/fans so that was a good outcome. I have also received a few email questions from persons who… Continue reading My First TikTok Live

Why I don’t answer questions on TikTok

When it comes to social media marketing, and any type of marketing for that matter, you are always looking for engagement. Why? Because it is a feedback loop that tells you what you have published resonates with your audience. You were not screaming into a void. You did not get the message to market connection… Continue reading Why I don’t answer questions on TikTok
