It is no secret that as much as you can try, sometimes the creative juices to create new and exciting content are just not flowing. So why not let your followers help you out so you can give them the content they want?
TikTok has created a feature where you can tap on a follower’s comment to reply.
All you have to do is hit the record button next to the comment and start filming. This is a creative way to get your follower’s attention and show them that you care and are interested in what they have to say and want to see.
Brand engagement on TikTok goes a long way and your followers will love you for it!
2. Using Stories to Crowdsource Content
In need of inspiration? Why not view Stories to come up with content ideas?
TikTok recently launched Stories! Similar to Instagram, TikTok Stories are only available for 24 hours and are a great way to crowdsource new content ideas so that you can give your followers what they want. All you have to do is click your profile icon and get filming.
Once your story is filmed viewers can interact with your content by liking, commenting, or sharing it. Stories are shown on the “For You” page so your new content will never be missed by your followers who open TikTok within 24 hours of your Story being posted.
