TikTok is a great space to share your brand and messaging with a large audience.
I will discuss five strategies to gn this blog, werow your TikTok following that help in increasing your audience and enhancing your social media presence.
An important first step is to identify who your target audience is. Like any platform, TikTok content spans a multitude of different ages, locations, and niche groups. The TikTok algorithm ensures that each user has a unique experience based on their interests. An understanding of your audience is beneficial to connect with that audience. Once you gain this understanding, you are then able to create content with your target demographic in mind.
Trends are a big part of the TikTok experience! From the renegade dance to Adult Swim bumps, there are a lot of opportunities to take a popular concept and make it your own. Head over to the discover page on the app to see popular hashtags and sounds as inspiration for your content. Find which trends align with your brand and target your desired audience. You are more likely to end up on the for you page of people already liking similar content and bring in new followers.
TikTok is great at sharing personalized content through their For You page. But, is there an optimal time to post? Well, there are a handful of variables involved in when is the best time for you to post. If you want to target a certain region, account for their timezone. If you are targeting a certain age group, account for lifestyle. There is no key time, but recognizing patterns and utilizing analytic tools help in identifying what time works best for you.
If you want to get new eyes onto your page, engage with other videos. TikTok has features such as stitching and duetting others videos. Stitching is adding original content after someone else’s video and duetting is your video with the other video. Engaging with relevant content can draw their audience to your content. You can also gain traction through liking and commenting.
Being both educational and entertaining on TikTok provides value to your audience. Whether it is a makeup hack or a recipe, audiences always love learning something new. Use TikTok as a space to share your expertise with others who gravitate towards your content. This can often lead to natural engagement as others may have questions or share their experience with the knowledge you shared. This allows for community building and developing a following that engages with your content.
Gaining an understanding of your brand, content, and audience is integral to your growth and following on TikTok. As the platform grows, more people turn to it for entertainment and information. Finding a way to engage with others is how you will make your content thrive compared to others.

Are you aiming to increase web traffic or grow your social media presence? Figure out why you’re leveraging paid media in the first place and build your strategy from there. Having clearly defined goals in mind will help you focus on your brand’s key priorities.
Designing strategies that cater to all three stages of the buyer journey ensures that you’re maximizing your brand’s reach. Every user at every stage is valuable—and you have to make sure you’re creating paid media content that speaks to each audience type.
Effective paid media is tied to targeting the right keywords. If you’re leveraging paid search ads to appear on SERPs (search engine results pages), then in-depth research is necessary. Bid on the keywords that are most relevant to your business to trigger only the most effective ad appearances.
Gather your team—because it’s time to start coming up with ad copy that wins attention. The key is to resonate with your audience and inspire engagement. Be real. Be relatable. And most importantly, don’t underestimate the power of creativity.
Do the landing pages on your website effectively push visitors further down the sales funnel? If not, you’re letting potential customers slip through your fingers. Optimize each of your landing pages so that they nudge users towards converting.
The options are plenty when it comes to paid advertising, including Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest among others. Analyze who your target demographic is, research where it’s best to connect with them, and then target the platforms where you wish to build awareness.
If you’re ready to build your paid media ad campaign, you’ll find that it will be further broken down into “ad groups” to ensure more effective pay-per-click advertising. These ad groups house one or more ads that have similar targets or categories. Let’s say your brand’s website features categories such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Creating ad groups according to keywords that fall under these categories will help the PPC system decide when to show ads for these products.
Retargeting ads are bound to succeed because it’s a second shot at a conversion. Visitors have shown interest in the product/service once before, and sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to push them to the checkout page. So don’t forget to retarget and aim better this time.
In the world of paid media, what works and what doesn’t? You’ll have to run A/B tests to find out! Whether you’re testing which keywords bring more traffic or which social platforms earn more ad engagement, you won’t find out what really works for your brand until you test it.
Revisit your initial goals. Did your efforts bring about the results you expected? Tracking results is an essential step in your brand’s paid advertising campaigns. The data you collect from currently running ads will help lay the foundation for your future campaigns.
After tracking your results, you’ll be able to see where adjustments are necessary. There’s always room for improvement, so keep striving to consistently resonate and build trust with your audience—it’s how to create paid ads that pay off.
