TikTok operates differently than other social media platforms, and its unique point system plays a big role in that. When you post a video, TikTok automatically shares it with a small audience of around 200-300 people. From there, it's up to your audience to interact with your content and help it gain points.
Here’s how the points work:
- Like = 1 point
- Comment = 2 points
- Share = 3 points
- Full Watch = 4 points
- Rewatch = 5 points
The more engagement your video receives, the higher its points. This is crucial because the TikTok algorithm favors content with higher points, increasing the likelihood of your video being pushed to a larger audience.
Engaging with other creators’ content is vital, too. Since TikTok runs on a point system, genuine interactions are the best way to get your own content seen. The platform thrives on engagement, and it rewards creators who participate in the community. Remember, just typing "here to support!" isn’t enough. Authentic comments that contribute to the conversation will get you noticed and encourage others to reciprocate.
While TikTok can sometimes feel frustrating, especially when a video doesn’t perform as expected, understanding the point system and actively engaging with others can help you improve your strategy. It takes work, but by creating real connections and giving TikTok the interaction it seeks, you’ll see the rewards come back to you. Keep pushing forward—once you get the hang of it, it all comes together!
