WHAT TO DO?

1. Profile Name

Pick a name that is short, memorable, and where possible, gives visitors an idea of the videos you make or who you are.

When you set up your profile, keep your username consistent with your other social platforms.
- Consistency across platforms is important so your followers can easily find you.
- Consistency helps create your brand.

2. Update Description

Have a clear description that tells visits who you are and what kind of videos you make.

EXAMPLES

“Hi guys, I do extreme sports! Check out my videos and leave a comment.”

“Live, love…but mostly LAUGH at my skits! Comment which of my videos you think is the funniest!”

3. Upload Profile Pic/Video

To better showcase your personality and content, use an existing video from your camera roll instead of a picture.

4. Link Instagram/YouTube

You will be required to sign in to your Instagram & YouTube accounts to do this. This ensures that your followers know that the TikTok account is actually yours.

Linking to Instagram allows you to share your TikTok videos on Instagram more easily, which will in turn fuel your growth across both platforms.

As you grow on TikTok, your fan base will want to check out more of your other content. We want you to grow as quickly as possible everywhere, so be sure to link your other social accounts.

TIP

If you already have amazing videos in your library, posting some of these on TikTok can help jumpstart your account (don’t forget, TikTok is a platform where vertical videos shine brightest).
