tiktok tricks

feed the algorithm what it wants:

• first 1.5 seconds matter most (hook or die)
• loop your videos (viewers watching twice = algorithm gold)
• use trending sounds but change speed/pitch slightly
• post 4 times daily (algorithm loves consistency)
• delete videos under 5% watch time (they hurt your account)

engagement hacks:

• add "wait till end" text at start
• use pinned puzzles/riddles in comments
• intentionally make small mistakes (comments go crazy)
• use text that's slightly off screen (makes people watch twice)
• stitch viral videos in your niche within first hour
