TikTok: The Marketing Jackpot – Is your Business There Yet?

TikTok for Business

2020 has been an awful year. For one, we didn’t really ‘live’ throughout this cursed year; quarantine and restricted periods have prevented us from doing the most casual things, such as meeting our friends, going shopping, or even hugging acquaintances on the street. Instead, 2020 has made our homes the only place to hang out safely without being fined or worse. While it may have been fun for a week or so, soon enough, it became quite the opposite and made us bored to tears.

These unusual circumstances were pivotal for making TikTok more trending than ever; people having too much time on their hands found the app’s trends and rich world of content the only haven to turn to because reality was so gloomy and hopeless. Just slip through TikTok’s rabbit hole and let others’ sense of creativity take you places you’ve never visited before (and upload creative and innovative videos on TikTok accordingly). After all, getting some TikTok likes and followers could really make one’s days when the spirits are low!

💰 TikTok as a Marketing ‘Jackpot’

Anyone can find videos matching their niche and interests on TikTok; it can be lip-syncing themed videos, dancing videos, or engaging live videos. For this very reason, TikTok became a fertile ground for affiliate marketing.

That being said, TikTok also has its weaker links any marketer should be aware of to maximize their posts’ impact to the fullest extent. Limited editing functionality is one. If you want your videos to go wild in terms of editing, etc., relying solely on the app’s features won’t do the trick. The editing options there are rather limited. Furthermore, downloading a video from the app cannot be done without the watermark; in other words, a total bummer.
