More than 500\nmillion users, available in 155 countries and 75 different languages. These\nwould be just some of the statistics to describe TikTok, the video-sharing app\nthat has taken the social media world by storm since its inception in 2016. And\never since ByteDance acquired Musical.ly in 2017 and merged it with TikTok in\n2018, the growth has been exponential. With all the hype surrounding this\nplatform, there must be reasons why TikTok has become so popular. Here are 7\nreasons why it is popular, and why you should be on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased exposure and popularity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The average time a\nTikTok user spends on the app daily is approximately 52 minutes. Each video can\nonly last up to a minute, which would mean an average user watches about 52\nvideos on TikTok. That\u2019s a lot of videos in such a short amount of time, giving\ncontent creators a huge chance to get recognized and gain exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever since its\nrelease in 2016, \u201cTikTok celebrities\u201d have become a thing. Gaining traction on\nthe app as a popular creator also helps boost a possible business venture you\nmight have. An organic way to get the numbers coming in is to use trusted\nservices like SocioBlend. The process is simple and the results are very\npromising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showcasing your talent<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What started as\nsimple lip-syncing has now turned into something much bigger. Although YouTube\nand Instagram used to be places where people showcased their talents, it has\nsince changed. TikTok with its simple interface and short-length videos seems\nto appeal more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your talent\nis singing, dancing, juggling or acting (to name a few), TikTok has a place for\nyou. A quick flip through the Trending page of TikTok, and you\u2019ll be flooded\nwith tons of creativity, some of which will leave you jaw-dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps grow your brand<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

TikTok has become a\nmethod by which businesses and influencers promote their brand. The\nvideo-sharing service has helped this cause by launching TikTok\nAds<\/a> that allow for businesses\nto run ads as videos. Many services have reported that this added exposure for\ntheir brand, has increased the monthly sales by a large margin. It doesn\u2019t come\nas a surprise considering how many active daily users are on this platform and\nare huge TikTok fans. Since every social media app has an algorithm, using\nservices like SocioBlend<\/a> can help boost traction and\nonline visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allows for global reach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To say that TikTok\nhas a global outreach, would be an understatement. The service only launched in\n2016 but already has more than 500 million active users. The app was in the top\n5 most downloaded apps of 2019, which speaks volumes about how popular the app\nis in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massive amount\nof users on this platform means any user, irrespective of their nationality and\npopularity, can reach millions of people on the other side of the world. TikTok\nbreaks political and religious barriers and allows global messages to reach the\npublic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cTikTok\nFor Good<\/a>\u201d campaign is focused on\ncreating awareness about many social issues through the platform. The campaign\naims to not only spread awareness but also directly influence change. Literacy\nand climate change are just a few of the causes that TikTok aims to affect\nusing this platform with the help of the new generation of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A filter-less process<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Expanding more on\nTikTok\u2019s outreach is its realness that seems to appeal to more than a few.\nUnlike most of the other video-sharing platforms, TikTok prides itself on being\nas real as possible. Instagram, Snapchat and other similar services have become\na platform where the content and the creators seem way too contrived. The\nfilters add to the mess and create a system where realness seems to be\nundesired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TikTok, on the\nother hand, showcases people in their most real light without any filters. To\nan extent, this is what makes some of us cringe, but this is also what makes\nthe app beautiful and appealing to its 500 million active users.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tool for preventing creative blocks<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Whatever said and\ndone, the amount of creativity that goes into making videos on TikTok is second\nto none. Yes, some of them might cause massive levels of cringe but for the\nmost part, there\u2019s a lot of creativity that goes into the content that is\nposted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app has proved\nto be an amazing source of inspiration for creativity. Confused about how to\nedit a video? Looking for some new dance moves? TikTok has something for\neveryone, and a couple of minutes on the app should clear any creative block.\nDon\u2019t believe us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Become part of a community<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

 The final and\nmost important reason why you should be on TikTok is because of its community.\nThe active user count is increasing exponentially by the day, and the community\nis getting bigger. Being part of a community that looks out for each other is\nthe best feeling ever, and TikTok boasts of such a community. This, in turn,\ncan help fight the negative news that we are otherwise faced with daily.\n\nIf nothing else, TikTok is a break from the mundane routine that\notherwise consumes us. It is mindless fun mixed with large doses of creativity,\nand the possibilities are truly endless. With all that\u2019s said, there is more\nthan enough reason to be on TikTok, keeping in mind that everything should be\nin moderation.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
