The Rise Of TikTok

You might be wondering what all the fuss is about TikTok. Trust me, I get it. A few years ago, Vine was all the rage and then, just like that, it was gone. So why is TikTok any different? In short, TikTok is incredibly addictive and, unlike Vine, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. Here's everything you need to know about the rise of TikTok.

What is TikTok?

TikTok is a social media platform where users can share short videos of themselves lip-syncing or dancing to popular songs. The videos are set to either 15 or 60 seconds and can be edited with filters, AR effects, and fun stickers. TikTok is incredibly popular with Gen Zers and millennials who make up the majority of its user base.?

How Did TikTok Become So Popular?

TikTok first launched in 2016 but didn't gain widespread popularity until 2019 when it merged with another Chinese social media app called Musical.ly. After the merger, TikTok quickly rose to become one of the most downloaded apps in the world. Today, it has over 500 million active monthly users worldwide with the vast majority being between the ages of 16 and 24.?

What Makes TikTok So Addictive?

There are a few things that make TikTok so addictive. First, there's no commitment required—you can watch as many or as few videos as you want without feeling guilty. Second, the videos are short enough that you can watch them while you're doing other things like folding laundry or cooking dinner. And lastly, the content is incredibly diverse which means there's something for everyone. Whether you're into makeup tutorials, comedy sketches, or dance challenges, there's a good chance you'll find it on TikTok.?

If you're not on TikTok yet, now is the time to jump on the bandwagon. It's an incredible way to engage with your audience and reach new potential customers.
