TikTok is the Social Network of the moment: more and more people and companies
decide to create an account on TikTok, formerly Musical.ly, born as a social app for
the “Zeta Generation”. In this article you will find out ever ything you need to know
about TikTok, what it is, how it works, how to make money.

TikTok, known as Douyin in China, was born in China in September 2016 with the
name Musical.ly and became TikTok (not Tik Tok as some write incorrectly) in 2018.

Today the Social network has more than 500,000 active users around the world. In
the first quarter of 2019 it was the most downloaded app in the world.

The average age is between 16 and 24 years, but initially it was used by many
children, the average time of use of the social network is about 52 minutes a day.

How does TikTok work?

Users subscribed to TikTok (a full-fledged social network) can upload 15-second
videos and add songs or other sound effects.

Once the app is downloaded from the App Store or Play Store, videos lasting from 15
to 60 seconds are immediately shown.

The discover function allows you to discover the trends of the moment el e
challenge , or the challenges that are made on ballets, songs, jokes, lip sync (or the
dubbing of movie scenes) or other activities that can be found within app.

TikTok therefore works on trends and challenges .

Warning: TikTok only allows you to upload videos of 10 seconds or less, on this
social network it is not possible to post photos or insert text.

Create TikTok Account

Creating an account on TikTok is ver y simple: after downloading the app you can
choose whether to register by entering your email address and mobile number or by
using your Facebook, Google, Instagram or Twitter registration data.

If you decide to create an account by entering the email address you will be asked to
also enter the date of birth: it is possible to subscribe to TikTok from 13 years of age.

Once you have created the account you simply have to choose your profile photo
and, from the button at the top right with the three dots you can manage all the
settings of your profile:

Account Management

Privacy

Notifications

Ser vice center

By entering your profile you will also be able to see:

number of accounts followed

number of fans

number of hearts

Also ver y nice is the “Digital Wellbeing” function which allows, via an icon, to
receive a warning when a user uses the app for more than two hours.

How to make videos on TikTok?

Making videos on TikTok and posting videos on TikTok is super easy:

Click on the button in the center with the +

Allow access to camera and microphone

Choose the recording mode (Normal / Selfie)

Create your video

Alternatively you can upload an existing video by clicking on the icon at the bottom
right next to the red button for video recording.

Once this is done you can choose to add a sound using the playlist by categor y
available on TikTok or by clicking on the search bar to search for the song you want
to insert.

You can therefore decide to cut the sound or the point from which to start the audio
by clicking on the icon with the musical note with the x.

You can choose to change the playback speed and thus improve lip sync (dubbing
synchronization).

Finally you can add effects and filters by clicking on the icon with the 3 colored
circles.

The magic wand instead allows you to activate the beauty filter.

By clicking on the button at the bottom left Vlog 123 you can instead insert stickers
and 3d effects in Snapchat style, so to speak.

Giulia Mabe, during an inter view with Marco Montemagno (which you find below)
gives some tips for creating content on TikTok : I usually try to think of video content
that is international (if I speak Italian they only understand Italians), and for this reason
I insert music to create atmosphere … One of the trends that always works is to make
comparisons (eg TV vs. social) .

TikTok also allows you to make cuts and transitions within the platform,
alternatively you can still use video editing software to create your own content.

How to promote videos on TikTok?

Currently there is no promotion on TikTok, the platform gives you visibility and
allows you to get views in any case: followers are earned thanks to the algorithm
that shows in the “For You” section of TikTok the videos of all TikTokers (a little
like the home of Instagram).

The more the video is appreciated, the more views you get and people will sign up
for your account and become followers.

When creating videos, always inserting a question or looking for interaction with
fans allows you to grow your community: the more likes your video has, the more
interactions your video has and the more you can rise in TikTok trends!
How To Make Money With TikTok
While waiting for companies to contact TikTok influencers for collaborations and
partnerships, the platform allows you to earn real money through virtual coins
(rubies and diamonds) that can be transformed into money to be transferred to
your PayPal account .

In fact, until December 31, 2019 a campaign is active that allows all TikTokers to
earn a few cents by completing the various available objectives:

For each registered friend, 0.50 euro cents are earned (up to a maximum of 10
friends and 5 euro earnings)

If the registered person watches more than ten minutes of video a day for 3 days
on TikTok, there is an extra € 2.50 profit

If you share the campaign page on at least one other social network you will
earn 100 Rubies

If you read the rules you will earn 100 rubies

If you watch videos for one minute a day, you earn 200 rubies

If you watch videos for three minutes a day, you earn 300 rubies

If you watch videos for ten minutes a day, you can earn 500 rubies

If you post a video a day, you earn 500 rubies

Each ruby is equal to 0.01 cents of a diamond, while a diamond corresponds more or
less to 1 euro. Just click on your profile (Me) at the bottom right to participate in
the Spread the word campaign , collect the gems , but this campaign is currently over,
and therefore until 31.12 it will only be possible to convert the gems into money for
those who managed to accumulate them.
