How to set up a TikTok account

I'm going to show you how to set up a TikTok account. So it's really easy to do. You need to download TikTok to your mobile device and then open the app. And at the bottom here you'll see don't have an account sign up if you click there. And then there's several ways that you can sign up to TikTok. So you can sign up with your social accounts or with Apple, but I'm going to use Facebook phone or email and then you need to put in your date of birth. And then you can either put in a phone number or an email address. So I'm going to put in my maybe tech email address. There we go. Just check it's correct before you click through. And then you can click this tick box here. If you want to get updates sent to you by email, some of those are handy. So I'll take that. And then you click next. And then you need to create a password. So obviously make it something that you will remember. And then once you've done that, click next. So you can put a nickname in there if you want one. Yeah, for the purposes, yeah. Once you actually set all of that up, you can then actually go in and edit your profile. And this is where you can personalize your profile. So you can actually change your name, your username, your pronouns, you can actually add a bio, a photo, etc. So really suggest you go through and actually do this to make your profile look like your brand. So what I have actually done is obviously added the maybe logo as a picture, I've added the name, maybe username and then I've added a bio. Now obviously you've only got 80 characters here, so you need to make every character count and you need to therefore make it a kind of punchy statement about what your business actually does. So, you know, there's, there's no doubt about what it is that your business is and does and therefore why people might want to follow you. So yeah, 80 characters isn't a lot, but obviously it means that you can get your message off in a really quick way, get your message across in a really quick way. Then you can actually connect your other social accounts. So you can connect Instagram and YouTube, so obviously other platforms where videos and short form video are really popular. So it means then obviously that you can really make the most of your video content by cross posting to those other platforms too. And that's it, that's setting up a profile. So it's really quick and easy to do. Obviously the next thing to do will be to start posting content and to start engaging with other feeds and following other feeds that are relevant to your business, which we will cover under other videos, but I hope that's been useful in terms of setting up your account and I'll see you on another video soon.
