How do I get started with TikTok for business?
TL;DR
Switch to a Business account, post 1-2 short videos daily for 30 days, lean into trends with your unique angle, and use 3-5 niche hashtags. TikTok rewards consistency more than quality — perfectionism kills accounts.
Detailed answer
- 1.Switch your account to TikTok Business (free, unlocks analytics).
- 2.Post 1-2 videos per day for 30 days minimum.
- 3.Use trending sounds — they 2-3x your reach.
- 4.Hook in first 3 seconds (TikTok skips fast).
- 5.Engage with comments within the first hour.
Common mistakes
- 1. Over-producing content (TikTok rewards raw, authentic video).
- 2. Quitting after 2 weeks because views are low (it takes 30+ days).
- 3. Cross-posting Instagram Reels with the watermark (algorithm demotes them).
What to do instead
Post your first 30 videos as fast and rough as possible. Volume teaches you what works. Once you have data, refine.
Build a small library of trending hooks for your niche. Open the app daily, identify a trend, adapt it to your business in under an hour.
