rewrite this content in spanish and keep html structure TikTok is just about everywhere, from your 10-year-old niece to your 80-year-old grandmother. The social media platform has truly taken the world by storm, and there is no shortage of video ideas to draw in even the least experienced social media user. Consuming the original videos found on TikTok and scrolling through dance videos and other clips is one thing, but adding it to the social channels you post on is another thing entirely. I have put together a basic guide to help you learn how to embark on your first video project on TikTok, to stay on top of trends and make sure you are keeping up with the best social platforms of the day. The video clips you find on TikTok are not the only part of the picture, however; you cannot create and upload an entire video until you have created an account on the social channel, so my explanation will start there. How to Make a TikTok Account Making a TikTok account is the first step toward diving into the pre-recorded videos and video templates TikTok has become famous for. From recipe videos to explainer videos to cleaning videos, TikTok has it all, so making sure you are taking advantage of the TikTok video editor will go a long way in making sure you are abreast of current trends and suggestions. How do you start, exactly? To begin: Step 1: Download the TikTok app from the App Store or Google Play. The most straightforward step, make sure you download from the app store, rather than simply popping your information in on a desktop website. The video and voice effects, video clips, and other components unique to the TikTok video editor cannot be utilized without first creating an account. Step 2: Open the app and tap on the “Profile” button in the bottom right corner. The “profile” button is how you will navigate to your profile once you have signed up, but is also the first step in moving toward your account creation. Step 3: Choose a method to sign up, such as using your phone number or email, or signing up with an existing social media account like Facebook, Google, or Twitter. When selecting your account sign up method, consider the purpose of the account (business, personal, or a blend of both), and the security necessary to make sure your information is not lost. Step 4: If you choose to sign up with your phone number or email, enter your information and create a password. Creating your own password is an essential part of the content creation process if you do not use an existing account to sign up. Make sure you choose a password that is secure and difficult to crack. Step 5: If you sign up with an existing social media account, follow the on-screen instructions to give TikTok permission to use your account. The viral content so common to TikTok may require some permissions regarding your social platforms. Step 6: Confirm your email address or phone number. Before completing this step, verify that the verification process is actually coming from TikTok; some scams rely on false login URLs from various social sites to steal information. Step 7: Create a TikTok username. This is a key step, particularly if you are one of the many active users coming to TikTok to promote their business. Selecting a name that clearly identifies your business, brand, or product line is essential, as the rapid-fire nature of TikTok makes it impossible to offer a detailed guide to your name and all that is contained within it. Make your name sensible and easily identifiable. Note that you should make sure your email and phone number are valid as they are needed for login and password recovery. How to Make A TikTok Video Step-by-Step Now that you have an account, you can dive right into the sound effects and templates TikTok is known for. From utilizing the duet feature to creating your own posts from scratch, TikTok is fairly easy to understand once you are familiar with the different icons and directions unique to the app. I have put together a comprehensive guide to getting started with your first video from your posting screen. Step 1: Open the TikTok app and tap the “+” button at the bottom of the screen. When you open TikTok it will automatically play a video like you see above, but the “+” button will be prominently displayed on the bottom center of your screen. Pressing this will bring you to the post screen from which you can create all of your videos and posts, with background music, audio tracks, video effects, and more that you can see down below. Step 2: Choose to upload content from your device library or use the TikTok camera. Like most social platforms, you have the option of utilizing existing materials (by selecting the “Upload” section), or creating videos from scratch by pressing the big fat red button and giving TikTok access to your camera, and doing a point-and-shoot through the app. Step 3: Add sounds, effects, filters, or other camera tools. Once your video has been selected or recorded, you can use the post screen to select all sounds, effects, filters, and camera tools to create an interesting, and attention-grabbing video. If you press the downward facing button on the right side of the previous screen, you will see your editing choices as above sich as Timer, Retouch, Filters, Speed and Voice. Step 4: Start your video by pressing the Record button. You can use the post screen to select all sounds, effects, filters, and camera tools to create an interesting, and attention-grabbing video. These will be added prior to recording to uploading your video, so business owners should experiment with different effects and audio files before committing to the video. Step 5: Record your content. If you are not uploading, begin recording the content you want. You can record a wide range of topics on TikTok, each of them specific to your niche. Step 6: Tap the check mark. Once your video has been selected or recorded, and you have the edits you’d like, you can tap the check mark to move one step closer to posting. Step 7: Make additional edits on the post page. Any additional edits you might need to your post–think an audio clip or general app editing tools–can be made now, prior to posting. You’ll notice that the post-recording editing screen above is slightly different than the initial screen as you now have options to add text, captions, stickets, effects, etc. Step 8: Post your video. Before posting your video, make sure you add a caption, hashtags, location (if applicable) and select a cover so that your profile videos have a consistent look and feel to them. Finally, post your video! From comedy sketches to dance routines to basic how-tos, your video has not been sent out into the TikTok ether. You can also upload pre-existing videos from your camera roll and edit them within the app. TikTok offers a variety of tools to customize your video, including adding text, music, and effects. Top 10 Types of TikTok Videos for Maximum Engagement Now that you are familiar with the basics of creating business and personal accounts, and how to create posts, you can move on to curating your TikTok presence with more nuance and attention to detail. I have put together a list of the best videos you can create to maximize the likelihood of high engagement, and enjoy improved performance stats on your platform. 1.
