Participate in the challenges

Since your goal is to achieve popularity by posting successful videos on TikTok, another piece of advice I want to give you is to create content based on what the challenge and trends of the social network.

For example, you might think about attending challenges creating a video related to a specific theme. To give an example, in fact, # Tiraccontolcittà is a challenge launched on TikTok which aims to invite users of the social network to publish videos related to their favorite places.

Another thing you could do is use trending hashtag and create videos related to the latter. A hashtag can become trendy when it is used in connection with an event, such as during a football match, when a hashtag like #ForzaAzzurri can become popular.

Finally, you could create movies containing Popular songs on TikTok. As for the songs, these usually become popular following the release of a new video clip of a singer who publishes the footage of the ballet on TikTok, inviting users to recreate it.

To see what the challenges, the hashtag or popular songs on TikTok, all you have to do is start the social network app and, after logging in to your account, press the button Discover.

In the new screen that will be shown to you, in fact, you will be able to see the Hashtag, challenges and music tracks popular; then identify the one you are interested in, tap on it and then press the icon video camera, to make a video on TikTok, using all the creative tools made available by the editor of the social network.

Use the right hashtags

Another way to increase the popularity of a video on TikTok is to use hashtag, that is, labels that can be useful for describing and categorizing a video, in order to help users identify them more easily.

As already seen above, on TikTok it is very important to use right hashtags: these, however, must first of all be consistent with the published content. Instead, it is a mistake - as well as an unfairness towards other users - to use hashtags that are not relevant to the video made, just because they are popular.

To find out which hashtags to use on TikTok, you can directly use the social network, which automatically suggests labels to use based on a specific keyword.

All you have to do is upload a video via the social network editor (use the keys [+]> Upload and select the video of your interest) and then press the button NEXT three consecutive times to display the publication preview screen.

Now, use the text field Describe your video to write the caption of the movie, then press the #Hashtag button and start typing the first letters of the hashtag to use: in this way you will be shown all the popular hashtags. Finally, tap the relevant ones with the most views to add them to the video caption.

Also, among the most popular hashtags you can use to invite the TikTok algorithm to share your video in the section For you there are the hashtags #PerTe and #ForYou.

Share videos on other social networks

Through the TikTok editor, in the preview section of the publication of a video, you can activate the sharing the movie on other social networks: this is a really useful possibility to increase the diffusion of a video.

Therefore, after customizing the video caption, tap on one of the icons that are shown to you next to the wording Automatically share on: you can make sure that, after publishing, the video can be quickly shared on WhatsApp, its Instagram, in the Instagram stories or on Facebook.

Once this is done, at the end of the customization in the preview section, click on the button Public to publish the movie.
