Today, TikTok is a platform where we absolutely must be. Regardless of your type of business, through this network we can reach thousands of people more quickly.
One thing that's certain is that most of the audience on TikTok is young people; however, more people of different ages have recently started joining.
If you already have a presence on this platform but still don't know how to increase your followers, here are some tips:
1.- Adapt Your Profile to Each Platform
Social networks don't all work the same way. Uploading content for Facebook isn't the same as for LinkedIn or Instagram, let alone TikTok. That's why it's important to know how each one works and what content performs best. Adapt your brand to those characteristics (without losing its essence) and unleash your creativity.
Remember that on TikTok trends change constantly, so you need to stay up to date on the songs, choreographies (if you want to do them), challenges, etc. that are working at the moment and that match your brand's personality.

2.- Essential: Use Hashtags!
If you don't use them, people will never find your content. You should look at which hashtags are related to your industry and see which ones have the most impact; that way, it will be easier for people to find you and for you to show up in their “For You” section (this section recommends videos based on people's behaviors and tastes, regardless of popularity)
3.- Create Educational Content
Beyond just showing your product or its features, you need to provide VALUE to your audience. Share your knowledge by creating short, creative videos in which you explain, for example, your production process (in the case of products), experiences, tools, strategies, etc.
This way, you can show that your company knows what it's doing, has quality, and builds trust.
4.- Reply to the Comments or Questions People Leave on Your Videos
It's very important for your audience to feel heard; that way, you'll achieve a stronger connection and generate more empathy. If they have questions, answer them either by replying to the comment in text form or, even better, in a video. Especially if the questions are frequent and come up often.
It's common to have already answered some questions only for them to come up again. New people are constantly arriving, and we need to understand that they won't always go through all your videos to find an answer; most people want information quickly. In these cases, try to answer in the friendliest way possible and don't lose your patience.
5.- Join Viral Challenges and Create Your Own Challenges Where You Can Interact With Users
Remember that TikTok was created for people to participate by making fun and creative videos. So if you find a challenge that fits your company's characteristics, participate and include the corresponding hashtags so more people see your videos and start following you.
If you create one, it's very important to share on your profile the videos of the people who have been participating; that way, they'll feel included and it will be easier for them to share your content
