Hi {{ subscriber.firstName | default('TikToker') }}!

Stick with us, and you’ll stay ahead of the trend and conquer TikTok!

If you’re looking for a fun way to integrate some eye catching visuals without super technical editing skills, you’re in for a treat.

Stickers are a CRUCIAL element when it comes to editing your videos.

Even video advertising, YouTube, Facebook Ads, TV Ads, basically anywhere you watch a video, you’ll see some sort of sticker or pop up happen.

Why?

Because that business is EYE CATCHING.

People have short attention spans. The more we get engrossed with technology, the shorter it gets. TikTok really only gives you about 3 seconds to make something happen. 

Adding stickers can create a fun visual experience and most importantly keeps the viewers eye’s moving throughout your video.

However, don’t go too ham with stickers. Follow these best practices for stickers:

1. Use only 1 or two at a time
2. Place them in different spots on your screen each time to keep the eyes moving around the screen
3. Don’t let them become too distracting, only add them to create emotional value.

Of course, don’t start adding stickers if it doesn’t pertain to your content style. As always, test test test everything because everyone’s content is different!

NEW TikTok Feature: Add a Wikipedia Link to Your Videos

If you’re creating informational content for your audience, adding a Wikipedia link can be extremely valuable. Right now, this feature has only rolled out to certain users. If you do have the ability to use it, give it a try! It can help support your information and also give you more clout in your field.

Here’s how it works:

1. When you’re about to upload a video, go to “Add Wikipedia Link”
2. Then, type whatever or whoever it is you’re searching
3. A match will pop, then click add to video and it will pop up on your published video!

Looking for ad space? TikTok has you covered!

TikTok has officially opened up a “self-serve” ad platform that lets companies buy and manage ad campaigns directly! This can ultimately change the way small businesses spend their advertising dollars, potentially luring away from FB ads, which are currently under heavy heat. 

The company said it’s also providing $100 million in advertising credits to small businesses, which it said “are uniquely at risk as local economies ceased activity in efforts to protect public health.” 

How This TikTok Bartender Reached 2.7 Million Followers

Youngsters are at it on TikTok and are planning to purchase all the tickets to New Hampshire’s Trump Rally with no intention to attend. This trend started at President Trump’s June rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

After the June 20 Tulsa rally, Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale rejected the idea that TikTokers had been responsible for low attendance numbers, telling CNN: "Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap, thinking they somehow impacted rally attendance, don't know what they're talking about or how our rallies work."
