When people ask where they can find me on social media, I say, everywhere except TikTok”. But now I realize that so many small business owners are using videos on TikTok (and you don’t need to know how to dance!) in their marketing strategy.
The growth of Tik Tok statistics as a social media platform are nothing short of amazing. According to Sprout Social:
- TikTok has over 1 billion monthly active users. (This is similar to Instagram and Twitter only has 330 million per month.)
- 47% of TikTok users are between ages 10-29.
- Nearly 80 million monthly active users are located in the US.
- 37% of TikTok users have a household income of $100k+.
- 61% of all TikTok users are female.
- 53% of TikTok creators are aged 18-24.
How can you use this new social media tool to build relationships with your prospects if they are a TikTok targeted user? How can you reuse content?
