My Tik Tok Experience

on

 

First-time experience:

Using Tik Tok for the first time to me was unique, known for a utilizing song to create videos using different effects to keep the audience engaged. The platform's content style immediately captured my attention because apart from using music to create videos, overtime started to attract different types of users from educational tutorials to comedy/entertainment, and even a source of income for some as they began to rise in popularity on the platform. I personally enjoy using the platform to create content about my personality and also showing a little of what our Island of Trinidad has to offer. Time passes by so fast you don't realize how long you are steering at your phone sometimes.


Platform usability:

I found TikTok very easy to use, similar to other platforms. Navigating through your main feed, to searching, viewing your main page and messaging your friends are made simple. Tik Tok also integrated a video editing app called cap cut to assist creative when editing their videos.







Best ways to use the platform:

From my observation, some of the best ways to utilize TikTok include:

·         Creating engaging and entertaining short-form videos that resonate with your target audience.

·         Participating in trending challenges and hashtags to increase visibility and engagement.

·         Leveraging TikTok's powerful editing tools and effects to enhance the creativity of your content.

·         Building a community by interacting with other users through likes, comments, and duets.



Unique features:

TikTok sets itself apart from other platforms through its emphasis on short-form video content, algorithm-driven feed, and highly engaging user experience. The platform's "For You" page algorithm tailors’ content to each user's preferences, maximizing engagement and discoverability. 

The algorithm uses 5 things that will get your noticed faster:

  • Captions
  • Sounds
  • Hashtags
  • Effects
  • Trending topics

Business owners can leverage TikTok in several ways to reach and engage with their target audience:
