Whenever you start something new, it may not have the results you want. Agree? 💯🤓 I recently did my first ever TikTok live, speaking for over 30 min. Here are the results: Follower base: 4,225 followers Total views: 514 Peak viewer count: 8 Avg viewer count: 2 Total time live: 33 minutes Avg watch time: 3 seconds New followers: 1 So that totally SUCKED‼️ Only 3 seconds avg watch time? Yikes! 😁 Not gonna lie… it was also hard to just talk for half an hour in a one way conversation. 🙄 But that’s okay. Every time you start something new on social media, the results might be terrible. But here’s the most important thing… I STARTED. 🔥 The importance of just starting, no matter what results you get, is critical for any digital platform. ✅ I also learned a few things. 1️⃣ All the different features that I could use during a livestream. 2️⃣ How to get livestream approval - I have to do another 25 min video within a week. 3️⃣ After it was done, TikTok automatically created this sample video clip for me. That’s pretty cool, so I shared it.👇🏾 Getting that live out of the way, was actually an important barrier. Because the truth is, I got live access before, but never did it. So my temporary approval was taken away. This time though, I’m gonna do the second video no matter what the results. 🙌🏽 P.S. What would YOU like to start this month⁉️🤔👇🏾 #ThoughtLeadership #ContentStrategy #TEDxCoach

Instagram Reels VS TikTok. Let's talk about it. In the fast-paced world of social media, it's crucial to tailor your content to the platform and audience. On Instagram, people care about who you are. Your existing followers are already invested in you, so make sure your content reflects your personality and story. ▶ Showcase Your Identity: Start your Reels by highlighting who you are and what makes you unique. This personal touch strengthens your connection with your audience. ▶Consistency is Key: Maintain a consistent theme and aesthetic that represents your brand. This helps build a recognisable and relatable presence. TikTok is all about value and immediate engagement. To capture the attention of new viewers, lead with value and then introduce yourself. ▶Hook Them Quickly: Start your videos with engaging and valuable content that provides immediate takeaways or entertainment. ▶Introduce Yourself: After grabbing their attention, briefly introduce who you are and why they should follow you. This builds credibility and encourages further engagement. Remember, on Instagram, your identity is your strength, while on TikTok, delivering value upfront is key. Would you agree?

I love TikTok as a platform. 🫣 As a Gen Z user, I can honestly say it has been a game-changer for me. 🌟 From finding viral coffee recipes during the pandemic to discovering some amazing creators, I've learned so much since joining the platform in 2020. My favorite part is seeing how brands are leveraging it now. They're trying viral trends, keeping their audience engaged, and actively listening to their potential customers. 📈 TikTok isn't just about mindless scrolling. It can be a powerful tool if used correctly. 💡 Every social media platform has its pros and cons. It's all about how you use it. If your TikTok feed is full of random dance videos, maybe it's time to rethink your viewing habits! 😅 The content you engage with shapes what you see. Use TikTok to learn new skills, find inspiration, and connect with others. Don't let it become a distraction. Balance is key. ⚖️ What has been your experience with TikTok? Have you found it useful or distracting? #TikTok #SocialMedia #DigitalMarketing #GenZ #ContentCreation #BrandStrategy #SocialMediaMarketing

How do brands get started on TikTok? This is coming up more and more with clients at the moment, so my good friend and colleague, Madi Wilmshurst and I recorded one of our chats recently about exactly this. Madi is a social media manager, content creator and influencer in her own right and knows a thing or two about what it takes to crack TikTok. I’ve popped a summary of our (very honest!) chat below but if you’d like to see the full version, drop me a DM or a ‘yes please’ in the comments and I’ll send you the link. 1️⃣ Be brave and embrace it, or don’t do it 2️⃣ Have a strategy, a real reason to be there. Don’t just jump in because everyone else is 3️⃣ Choose a pillar; educate, entertain or escape 4️⃣ Stick to a solid content plan, with how you’ll respond to comments (good and bad) part of that plan 5️⃣ Watch, read, learn and enjoy it! #comms #socialmedia #tiktok #brands

How is TikTok different, when talking about social media? 📱The engagement is much higher than on other platforms - which means the online behaviour is craving more content and creative videos. ❤️ The community is beautiful, but it can also be cruel people commenting. Be aware of that. Try to create content that you can be proud of, and to minimize the risk of mean people attacking it. 🤳🏼 The brain consumes content faster, people are scrolling more and you can create more ”crazy” content. 🤪 Endless ideas of content and creative possibilites. TikTok is for showing the REAL life, funny perspectives and authentic things. Why not show the vibe at the office? Street interviews asking about your brand? Hauls with the new products in your company? 👋🏼 Show yourself and build your brand, because TikTok is going to reward you with views. A lot of them. 👏🏼 Anyone, I mean ANYONE, can get 1 million views on a video! It’s all about creating content, knowing the hook and keeping the viewers in the video. 😍 The algorithms are amazing and benefit everyone on the platform. TikTok has done what no other platform or social media has done before - TikTok has divided Followers and Views/Engagement. They are not depending on each other, and this is THE difference and way to success. Since TikTok is all about great content and you have the biggest chance to go viral - I don’t understand why you’re not on the platform? Let’s create some magic 🚀 #tiktok #contentcreator #tiktokcreator

Remember when YouTube was all about cat videos? Well, it's getting nerdy again. And for businesses, this is huge. No, I'm not telling you to ditch TikTok. With 1.8 billion monthly users spending an average of 58 minutes a day, TikTok is still a goldmine. But there's a subtle shift happening. A quiet revolution on TikTok is reshaping its content landscape. It's called the 'underconsumption core'. This trend is all about minimalism and authenticity. And it's influencing other platforms, including YouTube. So, how can businesses take advantage? Here are some actionable tips: ✅ Embrace longform content on YouTube. ↳ People are craving depth and authenticity. ✅ Leverage usergenerated and behindthescenes content. ↳ Show the human side of your brand. ✅ Repurpose TikTok content for YouTube. ↳ A 15second clip can be the teaser for a longer story. ✅ Engage with your audience. ↳ Respond to comments, ask questions, and build a community. ✅ Collaborate with influencers who embody this minimalist trend. ↳ Authenticity is their currency. This shift opens up new storytelling opportunities. It's not just about clicks and views. It's about building deeper connections. And that's where the magic happens. What are your thoughts on this trend? ↳ Share your experiences in the comments!
