Your First Week Action Plan

As you embark on your journey on TikTok, the first step is to set up a new account. TikTok's algorithm needs to learn your interests and what type of content you will be posting. Here’s how to guide the algorithm in the right direction:

Step 1: Follow and Engage

  1. Follow Existing Creators: Start by following 20 to 50 accounts related to your niche to help the algorithm understand your interests. You can search names like "affiliate glammy" or other creators in your specific niche.

  2. Engage with Content: Actively like and engage with the content on these accounts. The more you interact, the better the algorithm can tailor your experience.

  3. Network with New Followers: When you gain followers, explore their content. If their audience aligns with your target market, follow them back and engage by saying, "Thanks for the follow!" This helps build rapport and can lead to organic conversations about your business.

Step 2: Video Creation

Your activity doesn’t stop at following. Creating content is crucial. In your first week:

  1. Post Consistently: Aim to create three videos each day, totaling 21 videos in your first week. While that may seem daunting, you can create drafts and publish them later.

  2. Types of Videos:

    • Duet: Participate in existing popular content to gain exposure.
    • Personal Promotion: Create videos discussing your business and offerings.
    • B-Roll: Capture everyday moments (like reading or enjoying nature) and overlay text about your business.
  3. Don’t Overthink: Focus on consistency instead of perfection. Just get your content out there, focusing on engaging hooks and clear calls to action.

Step 3: Optimize Your Profile

As you post content, remember to optimize your TikTok profile. Ensure your bio is compelling and clearly communicates what you do without using prohibited words like "money," which TikTok has been cracking down on.

In your next module, we will discuss how to make your content searchable. TikTok acts as a search engine, similar to Google and YouTube, and knowing how to optimize for discoverability is key!

Conclusion

Taking these steps in your first week will lay a solid foundation for your TikTok journey. Remember, you are not alone, and with consistent effort, you can succeed.
