TikTok Data Analysis Google Sheet Charts Demo#1
Introduction
In this article, we will delve into the analysis of TikTok data by examining how the number of hashtags in a post correlates with average play counts and likes. The aim is to visualize these relationships using charts generated through Google Sheets, allowing for efficient data interpretation and decision-making.
Hashtags vs. Play Counts
We will begin by analyzing how the count of hashtags in a post relates to the average play counts. For this analysis, we are taking the overall count of plays rather than individual play numbers to ensure clarity in identifying trends.
In our initial chart, we plot the counts of posts with varying numbers of hashtags. Notably, while there are low counts in some categories, a clear pattern emerges where a higher frequency of posts occurs with up to six hashtags. Beyond this point, we observe a decrease in play counts per hashtag.
A more comprehensive view comes from aggregating the hashtag counts against play counts on a scatter plot. On the vertical axis—denoting play counts—and the horizontal axis—representing hashtag counts—we see notable trends. Up to eight hashtags, the play count exceeds 100 million, demonstrating that the highest engagement is achieved with a moderate number of hashtags. However, as the number of hashtags increases beyond eight, engagement levels drop significantly, suggesting diminishing returns for posts with more than eight hashtags.
Hashtags vs. Likes
Next, we replicate a similar analysis for the relationship between hashtag counts and likes. Here, we observe a parallel trend to the previous analysis; videos with lower hashtag counts exhibit an overall higher like count.
By aggregating the total likes against play counts, a systematic relationship surfaces: more engagement (as indicated by play counts) typically results in higher like counts. This correlation suggests that users who engage with content through views are also likely to show approval through likes.
Our observations confirm that videos exhibiting up to eight likes tend to have higher play counts, with the highest observable likes hovering around six million. This relationship further underscores the importance of effective hashtag usage to drive engagement.
Future Analysis
As we look to extend our analysis, we aim to explore how the length of captions impacts average play counts. There are several other datasets in our Google Sheets that could provide additional insights, and a discussion on how to best utilize these datasets will be critical for further exploration.
In summary, if these findings resonate with you, please share your thoughts so we can decide on the next steps for our analysis.
