Relate your videos to your brand. If you can’t make videos based on your business, you could insert very short business-related clips at the end of your videos to highlight what you do.

This strategy is directly related to what you do. You could show your followers what it is like to be in that line of business, the highlights and many more. This helps them connect with you. Once they are connected, it’s super easy to turn them into customers.

3) Be Consistent

Bear in mind that consistency is key. This is true for all social media, but TikTok has even a higher speed level than others with its short clips and short attention span. So, make and share, make and share, make and share. Speed is everything. Every little creative idea that is coming to your mind? Post! Why? Once you have your followers stuck, you should not let them slip away.

4) Be trendy

You should check, follow and contribute to trends to enhance your visibility and go viral. Trends are a nice thing to boost your TikTok profile temporary in followers which is also bringing a long-term effect when you’re feeding the customers with similar content they like.
To increase the visibility even more, you should use corresponding hashtags which using trends and represent your business. Don’t use any general tags as #food or #fitness or whatever. The hashtags should be as a little bit nichy and match to your content and your brand.

5) Promote Cross-Channel

Your marketing should be cross-channel. Attach website links, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc. that is dedicated to your business. In spite of the fact TikTok doesn’t allow you to attach links on your bio like Instagram, there’s still a way around it. Once you are fully aware of the type of videos that would be good for your business, you can attach links as texts directly in the videos.

It might be a little bit tedious for your followers, but if your business is worth it, people would definitely respond.

Moreover, build up a brand and corporate identity! Your business name should be close to your TikTok username, that your audience can easily find you. On top, your design should be recognized and you should spread your brand in the world wide web.
