💡 Pro Tips
Keep text inside the TikTok safe zone
Before you publish, preview overlays with the PostPlanify Safe-Zone Checker to ensure captions, stickers, and calls-to-action aren’t hidden by the UI icons.
Hook viewers within the first 3 seconds
Open with movement, a bold statement, or a ‘watch till the end’ teaser. TikTok’s algorithm weighs early watch-through heavily when deciding who gets pushed to For You pages.
Use trending sounds—then add your twist
Pair a viral audio clip with niche-specific visuals. This taps into existing momentum while keeping the content unique to your brand.
Add on-screen captions for silent scrollers
Over 60% of TikTok users watch with the sound low or off. Auto-generate subtitles, then nudge them into the center of the safe zone so they stay readable on every device.
Reply to high-performing comments with a video
Turning top comments into follow-up videos drives community feel and doubles your content output without new brainstorming.
Post at least once per day—consistently
Regular uploads reset the algorithm ‘learning phase’ and keep your account top-of-mind. Use PostPlanify to batch-schedule clips so you never miss a cadence.
Close with a clear call-to-action
Ask viewers to like, save, share, or click your bio link. Place the CTA above the caption area to avoid overlap with the engagement bar.
Analyze retention curves weekly
TikTok’s built-in analytics show exactly where viewers drop off. Trim dead air, tighten edits, and keep cuts punchy to push that retention line higher.
