What the heck is a rewatch?

 

It’s simple. When a user watches your video more than once, it’s a rewatch. And yes, TikTok is tracking this and it is the number 1 metric that can help you in the algorithm, more than likes, comments, and shares.

 

Why?

 

Because it shows that your video is giving VALUE to your audience.

 

Here are a few reasons why someone would want to rewatch your video:

 

▪It’s funny

▪They share it with their friends▪It’s educational (listicle, factual, etc)

▪It’s intriguing

▪It’s a step by step reference (recipe, dance tutorial, life hack)

 

When creating your content, you want to OPTIMIZE your content for rewatches. That means you want to keep them relatively short and sweet (no more than 15-18 seconds, but no less than 8), but also have enough information in there to keep them wanting to watch over and over again.

 

So before you decide to start filming anything, always ask yourself,

“Will this content want to be REWATCHED?”

Celebrity Doppelgängers Are Thriving On TikTok

Have you ever scrolled through your For You Page and saw a celebrity doppelgänger? Well, these celebrity lookalikes are gaining some huge traction on TikTok. From Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Ariana Grande, and more, these content creators have a unique branding strategy that’s taking over the internet. 


What do you think? Doppelgängers or just imposters?

 

Three of TikTok’s biggest stars just signed off-platform deals

That’s right, these top TikTok stars are starting to monetize their branding outside of the app. Charli D’Amelio (TikTok’s most followed creator) and Dixie D’Amelio (who rivals Will Smith in TikTok followers) announced a makeup line in partnership with Morphe, and Addison Rae (TikTok’s second most followed creator) announced a Spotify-exclusive podcast that’ll be co-hosted by her mom.

 

Though the app itself doesn’t offer tons of ways to monetize your following, it goes to show there are other incredible opportunities to make bank with this ever-growing social media app.
