TikTok, the video app that’s taking over the world, and is kind of intimidating at first. You might have heard it referred to as “the Chinese Snapchat,” or maybe you’ve seen one of its memes in your Facebook feed. TikTok is all about making short videos with music and special effects, but it can be confusing and intimidating if you’re new to it. It is becoming the the favored video tool, even overtaking YouTube. Let me help!
What is TikTok?
TikTok is a social media platform that allows users to make short videos and share them with their friends and followers. Videos can be as long as 15 seconds, but they’re usually shorter. Videos are often set to music, which makes them fun to watch. You can also comment on other people’s videos or create your own!
How to create a TikTok account?
To sign up, first you need to create a Google account. It’s simple and straightforward, so go ahead and do it if you don’t already have one. Once that’s done, download the app on your phone and open it up.
- On the home screen of TikTok (this is where all of your content will appear), tap “Sign Up” in the bottom right corner.
- Create your username by entering an email address and password for yourself along with an alternate name if desired (this will be how people find you). There are also options for security questions but these aren’t required unless there’s some reason why they would help keep your account safe from hackers or someone else who shouldn’t be accessing it–and even then we recommend setting up two-factor authentication so that even if someone does get into their own account passwords won’t matter much anyway! Once finished enter “I’m over 18 years old” into another box below this text box before tapping “Next.”
How to make videos in the most popular style on TikTock?
If you want to make TikTok videos, there are a few things that will help. The first is to use a phone and tripod. You can get inexpensive tripods from Amazon, or if you’re feeling fancy, there are some really great ones from Manfrotto.
The second thing is that you should use your front facing camera instead of rear-facing (this means it will only record what’s in front of you). If possible, make sure there isn’t anything behind you because this can cause problems when editing later on.
Finally, try making sure that whatever background is behind where you stand while filming doesn’t have any distracting items in it like plants or wall decorations – these things may distract viewers from paying attention fully on what they’re seeing/hearing (and might even cause them headaches).
Best TikTok memes
Memes are a popular form of expression on TikTok. They’re like jokes, except people can make them at any time and they don’t have to be funny. They’re also very self-deprecating, so if you enjoy making fun of yourself (or others), memes are the perfect way to do it!
Best TikTok dance moves
To begin, you need to learn some of the basic moves. The first is the Shiggy, which is what most people think of when they think of tiktok dance moves. It’s a simple step that involves stomping your feet while putting your hands in front of you like they’re holding something heavy (like a plate or pizza).
Next is the Boogie, which involves moving side-to-side while waving around at different angles in time with the beat of whatever song has been playing on TikTok for at least ten seconds straight (or until someone else does it first).
Thirdly, there’s Flossing–which consists simply enough: twisting one arm over another repeatedly until either everyone stops paying attention or someone decides it isn’t cool anymore and so stops doing it themselves too! Finally comes Whipping: taking two steps forward while simultaneously extending one arm out further than any other appendage while simultaneously whipping back around again towards said extended limb before coming full circle again into position right where we started this whole thing off originally.”
Best TikTok songs 2018
Tiktok is a great place to find new music, but it can be hard to navigate the app’s millions of channels and millions more videos. Here are some of our favorites:
- If you want to dance: “No Tears Left To Cry” by Ariana Grande
- If you want to relax: “Solo” by Clean Bandit featuring Demi Lovato
- If you want to feel inspired: “New Rules” by Dua Lipa
Tag random people on TikTok
Tagging people in TikTok videos is a great way to connect with your followers and get more views. If you’re tagging someone in a video, make sure it’s appropriate for the audience of that video. For example: if the content of your tag is NSFW or could be considered offensive by many viewers (e.g., swearing), then it may not be suitable for all audiences–so don’t add this type of tag unless you want to limit who sees it!
TikTok can be fun if you know how it works.
Tiktok is a social media app that allows you to make videos and post them online. It’s similar to Instagram in that you can post pictures, but it’s different in that you can also make videos.
