How to Grow a TikTok Page in 2024 (Easy Mode ✅)

Creators on TikTok are experiencing unprecedented success, amassing hundreds of thousands of followers and earning tens of thousands of dollars monthly. Yet, if you feel stuck despite your best efforts, this guide is for you. This five-step guide will make growing on TikTok easy, outlining the exact steps that helped me accumulate over 3.2 million followers across multiple pages and helped my students achieve success.

Step 1: Algorithm Manipulation

It doesn't matter how many followers you have—zero, 1,000, or 100,000—you need to do this. Assume you are in the facts niche. Your For You Page should be filled with facts videos to signal the algorithm that you belong in this niche, ensuring your content reaches the right audience. This strategy offers three advantages:

Viral Video Ideas: Your For You Page becomes an idea generator.
Hashtags and Sounds: Observe and use popular hashtags and sounds.
Trend Awareness: Stay updated with trends and updates.

To achieve this, use the search bar to find videos in your niche and interact with them. Like, save, share, and comment (even something like "algorithm"). Never use your creator page as a personal page.

Finding trending sounds in your niche is crucial. Here’s how:

Analyze Viral Pages: Examine the sounds used by viral pages in your niche and save them.
Follow Influencers: Look at the current trending sounds used by top influencers.
For You Page: Scroll through videos and note sounds used more than once. Click on the sound to check the number of posts and recency.

Bonus Tip: Download the sound using a tool like SSS, then add it to your video during editing. While uploading, use the sound from your saved sounds or a trending one with volume set to 1-3, as setting it to zero diminishes its impact on the algorithm.

Step 3: Caption Strategy

Effective captions can significantly boost your watch time, a crucial metric for growth and monetization.

First Line (Hook): Use a compelling hook like "READ MORE" with an arrow pointing downwards or an intriguing question.
Main Body: Provide valuable content, such as advice or stories.
Call to Action & Hashtags: End with prompts and relevant hashtags.

If viewers spend more time reading your caption, it signals TikTok that your content keeps users engaged, promoting your videos more.

Tip: Use ChatGPT to draft engaging captions.

Step 4: Hashtag Strategy

Hashtags serve as a keyword/SEO tool to help the algorithm understand your target audience. Follow these tips:

Avoid Broad Hashtags: Hashtags like #foryoupage or #viralvideo are ineffective.
Use 3-6 Hashtags: This provides the algorithm with ample information.
Niche-Specific Hashtags: Mix one-word and multi-word hashtags relevant to your content.

Remember, established pages might not use hashtags, but this approach is beneficial for growth.

Step 5: Snowball Strategy

The "Snowball Strategy" is effective but not widely discussed. Here’s how to implement it:

Build on Viral Videos: If a video goes viral, create a similar follow-up video or a sequel (e.g., Part 2) by replying to a comment on the viral video.
Boost Your New Video: Pin the comment of your new video reply to draw attention.

Why it works:

Hook: The comment at the beginning serves as a hook.
Cross-Traffic: Viewers from the first video might see and click on your reply.
Algorithm Understanding: The algorithm pushes similar content to the right audience.

Packaged well, this strategy can result in back-to-back viral videos, enhancing your growth potential.

By following these five steps, you can significantly boost your growth on TikTok. Utilize these strategies to unlock your potential and garner millions of followers just like many successful creators.
