If you’re on TikTok and not getting the kind of views and engagements that you want, then maybe you’re just not doing it right. Here are some TikTok dos and dont’s from experts. Hopefully by incorporating a few of these things into your content, your content will thrive.

TikTok Dos and Dont’s

I’m writing this story because like you, I would like to get my TikTok content out there more. I have a lot of followers, and I would love to engage with them more. I don’t post on TikTok too often, and that’s one don’t of TikTok. So, I’m definitely looking to post more content in the coming weeks and months. So, I’m doing this story because I’ve researched some TikTok dos and don’ts to help both your content and mine.

The experts at Hootsuite have a great feature up on how to play nice with the TikTok algorithm in 2024. Of their tips, one of my favorite tips is to “maximize the first moments.” They note that you need to grab their attention in the first couple of seconds, and that “the hook for your video needs to inspire viewers to stop scrolling.” They add that, “when the retention time for a video goes up, that tells the TikTok algorithm that this is content worth sharing with other viewers.” They also suggest to post shorter videos, even though on TikTok, you can actually post videos that are up to 10 minutes in length.

As for more TikTok dos and don’ts, TikTok itself suggests posting 1 to 4 times a day as you find out which content performs best for you. Posting regularly keeps you in the sphere of your audience and increases the possibility of something you post going viral. After all, if you post four times a day instead of one, then you’ve just tripled your chance to have content that takes off. Backstage.com suggests that you use hashtags that are relevant to your content. That’s how TikTok knows what your content is about and to whom to send your content. Another great tip, and this one is from me, is to post content that you love. It’s good to jump on TikTok trends, but if you don’t feel comfortable doing a certain video or post, don’t do it. If you stay true to who you are on any social platform, you’ll have the best chance of standing out. For example, I post a lot of my music on TikTok, because that’s true to me. So, be true to yourself, and have fun with it.

7 Traits That Irresistible People Have

• 1. Confidence

  Of course irresistible people are confident in themselves. “Everyone becomes more attractive when they feel good about themselves,” says Ameliamiazy.medium.com. It’s true. Flaunt your awesome self.

  Being confident is a big bonus.

• 2. Kindness

  Being kind is attractive. Sure, it may be trite to say that girls always go for the “bad boys.” That’s fun at first, but it gets old really fast. “Countless studies have found that altruism, kindness, supportiveness, and empathy are what we look for most in someone and find most desirable,” states HackSpirit.com.

  Kindness is a wonderful thing.

• 3. Fun-Loving

  Why’s everything so serious? Life can be difficult, so having a fun-loving outlook can really be a breath of fresh air. “Playful people enjoy teasing, wordplay, improvising and taking challenges in a light-hearted way,” says Spring.org.uk. “They enjoy unusual things and are good at creating situations people can enjoy.”

• 4. Positivity

  You don’t have to be annoying chipper all the time, but being a positive person can go a long way. There’s already so much negativity in the world. Why add to it? Having positive energy is always a good thing.

  Being positive goes a long way.

• 5. Sense of Humor

  Having a sense of humor isn’t just about being funny. It’s about enjoying other people who are funny, too. People definitely find having a sense of humor attractive, whether you’re cracking your own hilarious jokes or enjoying others.

  A sense of humor is great.

• 6. Non-Judgmental

  Being open-minded and non-judgmental is welcoming to people. Everyone loves feeling accepted. So, when you meet new people and are a listening ear to people currently in your life, remember not to judge. Just listen and love. “Honesty – telling the truth and not obscuring the facts – is fundamental to our happiness and relationships,” states Berkeleywellbeing.com.

  Don’t be judgemental.

• 7. Being Honest

  Being honest, of course, is a great character trait. People love honesty. Of course, that doesn’t mean telling someone you hate their new haircut. It does mean being upfront about who you are with the people you love.

  Be an honest person.

• In summary

  Don’t change your personality to try to become more “irresistible.” There’s nothing more attractive than being you. But, be aware of these positive traits and lean on the ones that you already possess. In the end, being irresistible to people is about being friendly and yourself, and these traits can help you get there.
