TikTok for Business
Has your business tapped into the potential of TikTok yet? If not, you’re not alone, but it’s something you should be investigating. In case you’re not familiar with it, TikTok is THE place today for short mobile videos. It has exploded in use in the past few years; now ranking as the sixth largest social network.
Literally anyone can produce a TikTok video. They are short - less than a minute. You can also add some special effects, music and filters which are at your fingertips when you’re on the app.
When it comes to businesses using TikTok, the platform makes it very easy to set up a small business account. But, before you dive in, take a look at what others in your industry are doing. Also, make sure your target audience is on the platform before you invest a lot of time or energy. Right now, TikTok’s largest demographic is 18–24-year-olds, followed by 13–17-year-olds; with most users (60%) being female. Of course, this can and undoubtedly will change as the platform continues to grow.
If you do create an account, try out different types of content to see what fits best and generates the most engagement. Spotlight employees, unique and inspirational stories and anything else that is interesting or quirky. Resist the temptation to “sell, sell, sell.” This is not the platform to do that and will generate a lot of negative reaction.
Like other social platforms, you can also build your following by sharing content created by other businesses or individuals. And don’t forget to use interesting and relevant hashtags. Once you feel comfortable and confident in your approach to TikTok, you can also leverage its advertising options.
Even if TikTok isn’t right for your business right now, if you want to stay on trend, it pays to know what it is and what it can do – especially for business.

Connecting with people today is instantaneous. From a call, text, messaging app or email directly to our phones, we can be contacted wherever and whenever. Even at work, we can be bombarded with emails, phone calls or instant messages from internal and external sources. Those external sources can include important information and spam content. That spam content has become more sophisticated in an effort to make you believe that it is coming from a reputable source, trying to trick you into giving up valuable information. There are some things you can do to help you spot the spam and avoid any unnecessary headaches that could follow.
- When reviewing information that you receive electronically, be sure you look at WHO is sending the message. Spam content often appears as if it is coming from a coworker, client or friend when in reality the email is slightly different. If the email doesn’t look like its coming from the sender or if the email signature doesn’t match their usual one, then it can be a sign the message is spam.
- Pay attention to the grammar of emails. Now, we are not saying that every email with a misspelling or misplaced punctuation is spam but if it is reading too robotically or filled with numerous errors, it can be a warning sign that this content isn’t legitimate.
- Never click links if you are unsure about the content presented. If you are even the slightest bit hesitant about communications you received, avoid clicking a link that could contain a virus. Research the URL in a search engine to see if it truly exists or if others have reported the link as spam.
- Still unsure if an email or text is valid? Reach out to the supposed sender. Sometimes email or internet permissions can make viewing content difficult and appear spammy. If you are unsure about something, pick up the phone and call the sender to confirm or create a brand-new email to reach out to them for confirmation.
Spammers find new ways to trick people into viewing and engaging with their content, that is why it is important to take your time when reading messages, no matter what device you are on. With any spam content, it’s always best practice to delete the email and/or block the sender from contacting you again.
