These days, people are trapped inside their own houses, and the worst thing is they don't know what to do. And suddenly, an app named "TikTok" started trending and made a massive hype around the world. People started to get fame in no time people were going viral.

 Crazy, huh, 19's celebrities spend their whole life for this. And you can get in a matter of days!

 This app till now has gained 12 million new unique visitors in March, reaching 52.2 million in total. 

 From January to April, that's a freaking 48% increase.

 TikTok users call themselves "Creators," they record a 60-second video and publish it on Tiktok. That's all.

 Before you desire to try TikTok and go viral, we've some famous TikTokers advice for you to make videos in the "For You" feed.

 But honestly, who cares? How do I, an actual adult, become big on TikTok.

 To find out, I slide into DMs of TikTokers with an enormous following. Most obviously aired me, but some (including a dude with over 6 million followers) replied and told me everything you'll ever need to achieve TikTok fame in a matter of Days.

    Find Your Niche


    First and foremost, you have to choose what you're going to do and in which style!

     This makes your level up your chance of going viral and also helps you stand out from the crowd. Most people ignore it and couldn't make it to the top.

     You can check out yourself; every TikToker and other social media celebrity is following a niche; some are sharing dieting content, some yoga. 

     Just listen to your heart; choose something that you do in your everyday life. (what you love to do) 

     TikTok has a lot of options to make you stand out, like creating lip-syncing with songs, duets, etc. Utilizing these options will help you enhance and engage more people to like your content.

    Post Daily To Get More Tiktok Followers


    We’ll recommend you to post on a daily basis, even if they don't reach many people

     Yeah, you heard it right! And there's a logic behind it.

     People's knowledge about TikTok's algorithm is vague at the finest, but it's not like Facebook; this platform won't penalize for regular uploads.
    You can't oversaturate your videos on because whenever you post, TikTok is sending your video to different people every time; it's like possessing property. The more you have, the more revenue you have.

    - TikToker Grant.

     Even TikToker, named Grant Beene, shared his thought about posting daily.
    There is no such thing as, ‘posting too much’; if you can post three TikToks a day, you are going to grow quicker than someone who posts once a day.

    - Grant Beene, TikToker with 1.3 million followers. 

     Utmost of the TikTokers, I spoke to state the word "consistent" at some point. 

     We've even contacted Alessandro whose CEO of "Influencer Marketing Factory" (the company that ties TikTokers with brand deals)

     He said, and we quoted:
    It doesn't matter; if you have a 20 million viral hit, you still risk you may soon disappear into a sea of TikTokers if you don't do the frequent posting.

    Best Hack To Go Viral: Pay Attention To Trends 


    Whether you give a shit about trends or not, it depends on your content, but you have to use the trends for your advantage, that's how most of these celebrities are coming from.

     If you make videos about airplanes, you probably don't need to do the new "hot dance" that's trending. You have to adjust the trending ideas into your style; it indeed brings you hooked on the TikTok community.
    When you see ten different videos with a similar song while scrolling "For You" feed, there's a trend going on.

    Be Unique To Get Tiktok Likes


    A TikToker named "Friendly Quest" showcases the dancing skills of his ferret, Matilda, and it has crazy 8.7 million followers. Rapidly carved out a niche as somewhat a Ferret Guru. 
    I made a video about 'toxic foods for ferrets' and told people that chocolate, vegetables, and dairy products are not suitable. Many liked this video; it got 700,000 likes in return.

    - Friendly Quest

     Showing people something, what they haven't seen is part of what's made his growth so explosive, and even the trade loving TikTok encourages TikTokers to "be creative and weird."

    Use TikTok's in-built Tools


    As you expect, TikTok's algorithm rewards creators for playing with the newest features they offer in their app. Users can upload their audio; famous TikTokers says it's essential to take the hint that the app wants you to use what it's giving you. 

     Like Instagram, TikTok is always trying to add new filters and effects, so you'll have to keep an eye on them if you want to do rack up the followers.
    When you using effects on your videos people see for the first time; they'll probably see more videos of you, then they'll go on your profile.

    - Says Alessandro, Famous TikToker

     Another vital point is to make other users repurpose your video; if other TikTokers can reuse your video bu doing a duet with or reuse your audio, you're going to get tagged, and people are going to follow you.

    How to Get A Viral Hit: To Get TikTok Views


    I asked everyone how they got their big break; The key was to capitalize on this app. 

     Do you remember the Tesco girl who went viral for her rant about working a shift on a hangover? 

     When we interviewed her, she said I had the video on her camera roll for months and hadn't given much thought to whether it would make her TikTok royalty. 

     She now uploads consistently and has over 380,000 followers.

     Your Videos Should Be Rewatchable And Shareable
    Rewatchability and shares is a bit part of the TikTok algorithm, 

    - Gianluca (pasta girl), who went viral with 2.6 million followers. 

     Who's going to send this to their friends? 

     You have to make your audience to watch your video again and again. That's what gets the video towards the viral stage and it automatically starting to push out to your viewers. 

     Make it family-friendly as much as possible. 

     Of course, you've to make people watch the TikTok in the first place. TikTokers suggests making sure videos have a "plot twist," i.e., formatting your video so the laugh out loud moment comes right at the end, so users can't help but stick around.

    Take Risks: Don't Afraid To Be Weird


    You should not be scared to be cringey,

    - Says Sean, a Brighton student.

     He recently started funneling towards an Onlyfans account that pays him £900 a month! Cringey is good because that's what sells. People want to watch you do that video because they're too scared to.
    You don't have to push the boat too far because Relatability sells too.

    I wanted to be a personality that could get along with, not an influencer or a celebrity; it's not about getting big; it's about starting a community that supports your character, not just your content.

    Use Of Right Hashtags: Can Make You Famous Instantly


    Hashtags work similar way on TikTok as they do on other platforms, like Instagram — for discoverability.

     There's no clear-cut guide to which hashtags are the most effective on this platform. Still, you can use a combination of content-specific hashtags and general hashtags related to the platform, so your content is discoverable to benefit you to get further TikTok followers.

     These creative concepts can help you get followers on TikTok.

     For instance, if your TikTok is a funny video of you with your friends in the park, you could use universal hashtags like #funnyvideo #park #friends with definite hashtags like #ForYou or #fyp to try to get a wanted spot on the "For You" page.

    Remember: 


    General hashtags can be saturated in search volume, making your content even harder to find. So, it's worth adding more exclusive and niche hashtags like #funwithfriends.
    Just like Instagram, a minute hashtag research can go a long way, getting more eyes on your videos.

    Create Your Trend Or Challenge 


    If the current trends don't seem to fit your brand's messaging (we get it, a lot of them feel like an inside joke), another way to grow your following is to create your trend or dance.
    Famous performers like Jennifer Lopez are using TikTok to create their own "challenges" where fans recreate a dance and upload it to the platform.

    Brands are also getting in this action too! Chipotle is an excellent example of getting more followers by creating challenges that are easily accessible to everyone.

     #ChipotleLidFlip currently has over 300M views, and their #GuacDance challenge has over 1 billion views — which proves that a fun challenge could be one of the best tactics to grow your following.

    TIP: 


    Follow in Chipotle's steps and optimize your challenge that's it, so it's fully inclusive and not totally out of reach.

    Collaborate With Content Creators


    Just like on Instagram, brands can gain a whole host of benefits by partnering with an influencer or content creator.

     For example, Aerie. (new brand to the TikTok), for boosting their following; this brand partnered with TikTok's biggest star, Charli D'Amelio, to create sponsored content that drove new eyes to their brand page.

     So far, they've created three videos and already have a following of over 17K.

     Partnering with content creators can take an effort to set up — you want to find the right influencer to represent your brand, and you'll most likely need to put aside a budget for the campaign.

     TikTok Influencer marketing is new, that’s why is an excellent opportunity to get ahead in the space.

     It's no surprise that famous personalities are the most popular on TikTok, and that's why they have the most followers.

     Many influencers from other platforms (mainly YouTube and Instagram) have been successful in migrating their considerable followings to TikTok since their followers are already active and tuned into their content.

    Duet Or Collaborate With A Famous TikToker


    Collaborating with famous TikTokers is the fastest way to gain fame. You will reach not only your targeted audience but also the fans of that famous user. 

     If you're collaborating with someone who has 2 million followers, you gain access to two million pairs of eyes. This may be the fastest method, but it's undoubtedly the most difficult. 

     Of course, not everyone knows an influencer with two million followers. 

     Start small and expand your network. Even a TikToker with 1,000 followers is valuable. 

     If you have zero followers, create a duet because this option is available to everyone, even to TikTok users whom you don't follow (if that's the privacy setting you choose). 
    While collaborating with a TikToker, make sure you tag the creator and use the related hashtags to increase your reach.

    Explore TikTok's Paid Options 


     TikTok Ads are in their early stages – which means there's an opportunity to be seen by the right audiences as the competition is low!

     With TikTok Ads, you can target specific audiences by targeting demographics and locations matrics to make sure your content reaches the most relevant peoples, which could mean plenty of conversions into new followers.

     These are your TikTok Ads options:

     • In-Feed ads: Content that shows up in a user's feed. 
    • TopView: Presents the profile on the app home page.
    • Brand Takeover: These are full-screen ads that are displayed when the user first opens TikTok.
    • Brand Hashtag: A custom hashtag challenge is placed on the Discovery page.

     TikTok Ad features are still growing, and we're expecting to see a lot more options in the future on how brands can use paid-for opportunities to grow their brand and following. 
    The best way to grow your followers will come down to your creativity, so don't hold back and start experimenting with the videos you've always wanted to try.

    Interact With Other TikTokers


    You can comment on other TikTok users' videos. This could attract the user who uploaded it or other users who are also commenting. 

    If you like a popular video or it is related to your niche, it is the perfect place to start interacting with users as they have similar interests. 

     Give your comments some thought, however, and always stick to your brand. Don't be mean, unless your niche is being grumpy. You also need to make sure you engage with comments you get on your videos too. 

     Another critical interaction is following other users and liking their videos. Look for people in and around your niche with decent followings already. 

     If you can interact with them enough, you might break through to their followers too.
