Sign up using a standard username and password or with a Gmail, Facebook, or Twitter account. 

Once you have signed up, tap on the icon at your lower right that looks like a person and edit your profile. You should add a bio, username, profile photo, or video and add your other social media profiles. If you own a business, add your Instagram and YouTube pages, this is a great way to advertise your business. 

Now that your profile is set, you should engage and follow other creators. Go to the video feed tab, like, comment, or share the videos you enjoy watching. 

After watching so many videos, you should have some inspiration on how to create your first video. TikTok isn’t just a platform for dance videos; if you’re creative, you can reach thousands or even millions of viewers. When creating your videos, use trending elements to increase your chance of performing well and going viral. 

The maximum length you can record a TikTok video is 60 seconds which means you have 60 seconds to ‘WOW’ your viewers. 

The more you post on any social media platform, the more you reach a wider audience. This also applies to TikTok, especially since you’re just starting out.
