Algorithm Basics

TikTok's algorithm prioritizes content over follower count; views depend solely on video performance, not the creator's popularity.

Niche Doesn't Matter

TikTok shows your content to users regardless of their interests, giving you a chance to reach millions even outside your niche.

[03:29]
Add Text to Videos

Text overlays help viewers understand content without sound, increase engagement, and are a hallmark of successful videos.

[04:08]
Use TV Broadcast for Subtitles

TV Broadcast is a video editing site with an AI subtitle feature that automatically generates text for your videos, saving editing time.

[04:37]

[00:02] succeeding on TikTok. The great thing about these tips is that they work for anyone, whether you have 20 subscribers or 20 million. These tips will work for you, so pay close attention because you're getting advice from someone who currently has half a million followers. When I first started YouTube, it took me a whole year to

[00:16] get my first 5,000 subscribers. But when I joined TikTok, I did it the right way. Because I did it the right way, I gained 20,000 followers on TikTok in 40 hours. I want to show you how to succeed within the first two days because this is currently the easiest time in history to become famous, especially on

[00:31] TikTok. The competition is so intense that if you use your brain, you'll outperform everyone. So let's start with use your brain, you'll outperform everyone. So let's start with simplest explanation of TikTok's algorithm is that TikTok doesn't care at all who you are. Whether you have 20

[00:45] million followers or just 20, your views are never affected by the number of followers. Your views are based solely on the content itself. This is clear; some people have We have millions of followers, yet thousand followers get a million views. So, the number of followers isn't important; how do

[01:01] people get their views? Let me tell you, to get views on TikTok, the most important thing is the statistics. Statistics tell you how long people watch a video. In other words, if someone watches one of your videos that's

[01:14] 20 seconds long, how long do they watch? Do they watch the first 10 seconds, finish the whole video, or just the first 2 seconds? This is the most important thing in the world of TikTok. If you encourage people to watch your videos completely, you'll get millions of views. But if people watch

[01:29] your video and leave right away, even if they like, comment, share, and everything else, your views won't increase. Let me give you an example: if you upload a video right now and you don't have any TikTok followers, your video will be shown to the first 100 people, and based on that, it will get more views. If 100 people

[01:43] like the video, they'll watch it completely, or not. TikTok knows the video's quality. If TikTok knows the video's quality. If the video is good, TikTok will watch it who the video is for and will give it to a certain group of people who like the type of video, and the views will keep increasing

[01:58] until you reach a point where people stop watching your video. TikTok is that I became famous on my first day on TikTok. Now, my second piece of advice is that TikTok doesn't care what your field is. Like I told you in my first piece of advice, TikTok doesn't

[02:13] care who you are. TikTok also doesn't care what you talk about. So, if your videos are about sports and health, it's perfectly normal for them to reach people who aren't interested in sports and health, and this is n't bad. On the contrary, this is excellent because it gives you a chance to get millions of

[02:27] views. But people need to understand your videos so that

[03:29] their phones without sound. The people around you at school, university, work, or on the street—anywhere—usually watch videos with lots of sound or without. So, adding text helps them understand you even without sound. Another reason is that text attracts

[03:41] viewers. Most people watching aren't actively listening, so text helps them understand you better, even if they're auditory learners. Even if someone is watching and getting bored, text helps them stay engaged. Keep in mind that most successful videos owe their

[03:54] success to the text on them. So, make sure you use nice fonts and colors. Speaking of text, I have the best website in the world for adding text to your videos. It's called TV Broadcast, and it's a complete video editing site.

[04:08] You can upload your videos and add text manually, controlling the font, color, size, and even animation. The great thing about this site is its intelligence. An artificial language with a feature called Subtitles. Just click on it, set the video language, and the site will automatically

[04:22] you're saying. Try this site because it's the best text-to-speech site. The great thing about it is that it saves you a lot of time on editing. Instead of typing each word for everything you say, the site adds text to the entire video in one click, and it comes with

[04:37] neat Arabic fonts. I recommend you try it and tell me what you think in the comments. My fifth tip is to comment everywhere. Think of it as TikTok. If people

[05:02] interact with you. Always stay positive and learn how to write good comments. That's all for the five most important TikTok tips. This was just part one. If you liked the video and learned something new, don't forget to leave a comment, like, and subscribe. Stay
