In the previous article, we explored rather non-typical niches that are currently gaining popularity on TikTok — creativity, science, and education. In this article, we return to the more traditional players on the platform — bloggers and businesses. We will review the key principles thanks to which influencer and brand content gets into trends and into followers’ hearts.
Influencer presence on TikTok
The thematic range of influencer blogs on TikTok is now striking in its diversity: on the platform you can find everything — from blogs about complex professions to creative meme pages. Beauty, fashion, business, health, family relationships, and psychology — even in the Ukrainian TikTok segment, which is relatively small compared to the global one, you can easily find an influencer in any niche.
The content formats in the influencer segment are just as diverse as the blog topics:
- Adapting existing trends or creating new ones. One of the most common ways to quickly gain popularity and have fun. Bloggers use popular audio tracks, hashtags, and take part in challenges, thus demonstrating their unique style and inspiring others to experiment.
- Interaction with followers, interactive and collaborative content. Live streams, replies to comments, quizzes, Q&A formats, and more help create close contact with the audience. An example of format adaptation: bloggers invite followers to spend a day together — even if online; or allow users to make choices for them: followers can vote for breakfast, a trip, or even the entire scenario of the blogger’s day!
- Collaboration with businesses, participation in commercial projects. A great opportunity to bring creative ideas to life in a high-quality way and help a brand find its audience. Formats of collaboration between bloggers and businesses have long gone beyond simple advertising — today it is a strong opportunity to gain large reach and attract audience attention for both sides.
- Civic and social activity. TikTok is not only a platform for entertainment or earnings. Opinion leaders are increasingly creating socially responsible content that spreads instantly across communities and even reaches government representatives. Therefore, thanks to TikTok, one can not only have fun and earn money, but also influence politics or social life.
- Creativity and artistic content. Of course, a separate content format includes creative experiments and the promotion of real artistic projects on TikTok. The platform provides all the opportunities for the media development of artists.
Advantages of influencer marketing:
The ability to express your opinion and vision: TikTok offers many promotion tools for creators and opinion leaders; in addition, the entry barrier is not as high as on Instagram or Facebook. A creative approach and truly interesting content are enough — be yourself and express yourself sincerely, and the world will hear you!
Access to valuable connections and career growth: A TikTok blog is not only about entertainment and creativity — today, this platform also provides opportunities for real career development. All leading brands, businesses, and influential individuals already have pages on the platform and actively communicate with their followers. So here are all the necessary tools to showcase your achievements and quickly find professional contacts.
The ability to monetize your hobby or life’s work: Media presence on social networks has enormous power: through a blog you can find your community, clients, initiatives, and interesting joint projects. If you plan to show the world what you live for — TikTok can help you earn from it!
Business media presence on the platform
Businesses are increasingly using TikTok to increase brand awareness, improve image, and interact with a wider audience. The platform offers opportunities for creative presentation of products and services, which is a great chance for brands to show themselves to the public.
Advantages of business presence on TikTok:
- Advanced targeting settings: the platform allows detailed ad setup for specific segments and needs.
- The ability to find your unique active audience, even if the business operates in a narrow niche or works with an audience that is stereotypically considered “not from TikTok”;
- Access to free yet effective promotion tools: if you create truly engaging creative ad integrations or collaborate with bloggers, TikTok algorithms will promote them among recommended videos to huge audience segments. Thus, TikTok allows brands to quickly and effectively increase brand awareness;
— It is important for businesses to regularly analyze the effectiveness of their presence on the platform. TikTok offers analytics tools that allow tracking reach, engagement, and conversions. Optimizing content based on the obtained data helps improve results and increase ROI.
