6 Daily TikTok Habits To 10x Your Growth

Introduction

Did you know that the average TikToker spends up to 3 years on the platform before experiencing any meaningful growth? But my students are absolutely crushing that average, often taking their accounts to new heights in just a matter of months. Take my client Chris, for example, who got over 18 million views and 12,000 followers in under 48 hours from the very first video idea I gave them.

Their secret weapon? The six daily TikTok habits that I'm about to share with you. If you've ever wondered how some TikTok creators seem to blow up overnight, this is it. Get ready to take some notes because if you skip out on doing these things every day, you could be wasting a ton of time and missing out on some serious growth on TikTok.

1. Study Your For You Feed

To stay ahead on TikTok, you need to keep your finger on the pulse of what's trending on the platform. The For You Feed is like a cheat sheet, showing you the exact types of videos that are currently going viral.

Key Points:

  • Spend 10-15 minutes daily studying the videos in your feed, especially those with high views and engagement.
  • Write down ideas that stand out and pay attention to headlines and hooks.
  • Notice popular sounds and trending themes.
  • Save videos for future reference.

2. Monitor Successful Accounts in Your Niche

You have to go beyond just watching videos; identify what I call Gateway Videos — those that have higher engagement than usual for the creator.

Key Points:

  • Look for recent Gateway Videos, especially those posted within the last 5 days.
  • Note why these videos are resonating with the audience and apply similar strategies to your content.

3. Brainstorm Video Ideas Daily

Spend 10 minutes each day brainstorming as many video ideas as possible. This helps in consistently coming up with fresh content.

Key Points:

  • Categorize your ideas into three types of content: Evergreen, Viral, and Depth videos.

Types Of Content:

  1. Evergreen Content: Tips, how-tos, and tutorials that are always relevant.
  2. Viral Content: Trend-based videos to gain new followers.
  3. Depth Content: Personal stories, behind-the-scenes, and Q&As to build deeper audience connections.

4. Engage with Your Audience

Engagement is crucial for building a loyal following.

Key Points:

  • Respond to comments genuinely and quickly.
  • Use video replies to keep the conversation going.
  • Include engaging questions and calls-to-action in your videos.
  • Build a sense of community.

5. Study Your Analytics

Analytics are the roadmap to show you what's working and what’s not.

Key Points:

  • Focus on engagement metrics like likes, shares, and comments.
  • Analyze average watch time, retention rate, and finish rate.
  • Pay attention to search analytics.
  • Conduct weekly reviews of your analytics for continuous improvement.

6. Constantly Improve Your Skills

Constantly honing your skills is the key to standing out.

Key Points:

  • Identify one aspect of your content to improve each week.
  • Invest in learning through courses, mentors, and communities.
  • Use your analytics to guide what you should focus on improving.
