Look For Ways To Engage
The best way to engage with your followers (and get more) is to create a challenge, such as a dance routine, to go along with your song. TikTok emphasizes participation more than mass broadcasting and there are many instances where an artist has a smaller following on other social media sites gaining massive exposure from TikTok.
Teamwork Makes The Dreamwork
Team up with an influencer using TikTok’s duet feature and record a surprise duet. To pack an extra punch to this tactic, make sure your lyrics are published to Reddit and Genius beforehand so people can search for them right away. Like all of the other social sites, you should also be following and interacting with other musicians in your genre.
Use Those Hashtags
The ever-important hashtag is still a major part of this social media campaign. Create a unique hashtag to go along with your video, like Lil Nas X did with his #yeehawchallenge. Share a mix of relevant hashtags as well alongside your videos that will appeal to strangers.
Cross Promotion
Share your TikTok videos across your other social media platforms. It’s a good way to bring the audience you already have with you.
The bottom line is, if you’re a musician with a younger demographic, TikTok is a great way to engage your audience and grow your brand. It’s free to use, you can monetize your music, and best of all it’s fun!
