TikTok is currently the leading social media platform with over 120 million monthly active users. For artists, it’s not just another social media platform, it can turn a song into a global hit and make an independent artist become a star overnight, making the platform a new music marketing sensation.

When your music is available on the platform, you need to actively try to get your sound out to TikTok influencers and other users around the world. You don’t need a lot of followers or have a big account to do this, there are several users that have under 1000 followers who have been able to go viral by creating an engaging video. Look at TikTok more as a (massive) opportunity for you as an independent artist, to reach people in ways that weren’t possible before through traditional marketing. Also you need to make good use of the hashtags as TikTok algorithm works perfectly fine with hashtags. Examples of some hashtags to use is #FyP #Music #Trending and many more. With this hashtags TikTok puts your video onscreen for users while surfing.
