TikTok is on track to hit 1 billion users in 2021, meaning the app has huge potential to grow your business and reach more clients. The question is… how do you stand out on such a large platform?
TikTok has now released an entertaining video called Year on TikTok: Top 100, where they run through the viral videos of 2020. You can also have a look back over the highlights of your personal TikTok year too!
The video contained 100 TikTok videos split into 10 categories:
- Vibe Check – ‘cultural moments’
- It’s the Meme for Me – the top trends, hashtags, and challenges
- Rising Stars – Top Creators

Now, apart from being great content to watch and enjoy as a social media agency we are always looking at what we can learn from these platforms, here are our takeaways:
The importance of hashtags and trends
10 of the TikToks were chosen based on what the top trends and hashtags were from 2020. It just goes to show how important it is to include relevant hashtags on all your posts. Make sure to do this on all social media platforms!
Explore what type of videos are trending. Look at how are they edited and what features are they using. Are you able to incorporate these trends into your content?
Choosing the right music
Music is key on TikTok. Keep up to date with what songs and backing tracks are popular and see if they could be used in your content. You can also search by song.
Tutorials and how to videos
Categories such as food recipes and beauty tutorials were very popular over 2020. Are there short tutorials or ‘How To’ topics you can film to help promote your business and what you do? For example, perhaps you are a florist and can share some flower arrangement advice.
Use the creative tools
TikTok showcased the most popular content editing tools used by creators. From green screens and voiceovers to collaboration features and colour enhancers, incorporating these features will add some texture to your TikTok.
