Stefano and Angela's key points from the webinar

Content strategy and creation

• To grow and maintain your audience on TikTok, it's crucial to have a customer persona to understand what type of content your target audience finds engaging

• Use the 80/20 rule: 80% of your content provides value like entertainment, inspiration or education, whereas 20% promotes your brand

• Attention spans are short so you want to draw them in quickly by showing the most visually pleasing part of your TikTok first or start with a punchline

• There's no point putting content out there with no thought behind it, even if it's 10 posts a day

• Focusing on the quality and value of content is more important than posting frequently, as TikTok's algorithm will push high-quality content through

• Having a customer persona is crucial to avoid creating content in spirals and to plan effectively for your target audience

• There is no one-size-fits-all approach to posting on TikTok and finding the right timing and frequency depends on understanding and experimenting with your specific audience

Algorithm and audience engagement

• Posting user-generated content that encourages users to stitch and duet your videos can really share your content further through the algorithm

• Using a mixture of trending hashtags and smaller ones specific to your brand can help secure the correct people and get your content out there in the algorithm

• TikTok live streams are pushed through the "For You" page, providing a good chance to capture a broader audience beyond your current following

• The "For You" page on TikTok is superior to other platforms as users constantly watch unfollowed content, making it a higher opportunity for brands to be seen

• The speaker admits to using TikTok as a search engine, saying: "I think I don't need the internet anymore because TikTok's got all" the information they need

• 67% of TikTok users have said that it's helped them to make purchase decisions
