After three years as the most-downloaded app, we think it’s safe to say that TikTok isn’t just a fad. It’s one of the best places for musicians to build an audience. Here are some TikTok Tips from AMF’s Social Media Toolkit, a free resource compiled by AMF Summer Intern Margo Zelle, who boasts an impressive 55k+ followers on the app.

Feed Diversity: What to Post & How Much to Post ⁠

How Much To Post → Start Slow⁠
- You don’t have to do a post every day, but recognize more content is good⁠
- Find a balance between quantity and quality for your audience⁠
- Give yourself attainable goals - you can start off slow! Maybe start by posting on story 1x a day, posting on feed 1x a week, and posting a reel every 2 weeks; you can go up from there⁠
Authenticity⁠
- Post about things that make YOU feel something – the goal is to make other people feel something too, even if only barely⁠
- Try to find a way to post that is encouraging; find a reason to post that makes you happy⁠
Create diversity on your feed⁠
- Don’t only post music!⁠
- Mess around with different filters or editing styles⁠
- Mix up photo and video⁠
Collecting Content → EVERYTHING IS CONTENT⁠
- You can take photos and/or videos of almost anything⁠
- Ask friends/family/partners to do it! random/candid photos of you on top of intentional posed ones⁠

This week, take some time to figure out who YOU are as a musician and how you want to be perceived on the internet. ⁠

- Social media is not going anywhere; you pretty much have to participate in it to have a real future with your career.⁠
- Treat your social audience like a live audience - be genuine, present yourself the way you want to be perceived, and don’t overthink it⁠
- Take some time – minutes, days, or months– to really develop a brand for yourself and decide how you want to present yourself on media.⁠
- If it makes sense for you and your brand to post every day, do it. If you want your followers to know your opinions, share them. Be conscious of how you want to be perceived, but in the end you get to make these decisions for your career and presence.⁠
- Sometimes you have to be careful what you post; take time to decide how you will handle politics, harsh language/swearing, and sensitive or triggering topics.⁠
