If you have been wondering about whether you should or shouldn’t try out Tiktok, let’s take a look at how you can utilize it to its full potential.
Tiktok involves creating short video content. Videos range from 15-60 seconds. You can use your own sound and audio or layer over available audio through the app. Gen-Zers are the largest generation utilizing the app, so if your market is there, you need to be there, too.

Not sure what kind of content to create for Tiktok? Reuse what you already have! Your current content can be cut down to 15-60 seconds. Take a blog post that was popular with your audience.
