I love TikTok because it has enabled me to be silly and creative for a few minutes every day (watch my videos here: @mattcatbat). It has encouraged me to learn a lot about drawing, I even bought new pens this week that are specific for doodling. So.. on the one hand I’m trying to grow a social media account…but on the other and more important hand… I’ve been able to improve a skill that I’ve always been interested in.
A few days ago I passed 500k followers (now at 520k). Ask me anything!
1) in the first 3-4 months, what was your most difficult challenge in getting traction and engagement, and what did you do to overcome that? [please assume I'm already focused on creating great content :)]
2) were there specific days and times that you found to be the best time to post?
3) did you discover any video specs (ie, lighting, sound/music volume, transitions, filters) that improved your ratings with the tiktok ai?
1) What's your content distribution strategy? Almost everything I've seen involves adding maybe 2-3 really general hashtags. Not sure how this grows a targeted audience, especially if you're trying to start a specific business.
2) Have you done anything to monetize this audience? If so what?
3) I'm having trouble deciding what to post, especially since I'm not great on video myself. I'm looking to build an audience where I can launch a luxury chocolate brand. If not, maybe a luxury cologne brand. I don't find anything anywhere on TikTok though about this to model after (TikToks specifically on these topics vs random videos. What do I do?
4) If you were starting all over, what would you do differently?
5) What are you using to keep your camera up like that as you use your hands to draw?
6) Any particular tips no one has asked about, but you feel is critical to grow a TikTok?
congrats Matt! so a few questions here...
