1. Content Optimization: The Foundation of Weight Improvement
1. Focus on Vertical Fields
TikTok's algorithm prefers accounts with vertical content. Choose a clear vertical field, such as beauty, fitness, home, etc., and consistently publish related content to help your account establish a clear positioning and attract a precise audience.
2. Increase Completion Rate and Engagement Rate
Completion rate is an important indicator for TikTok's algorithm recommendation. To improve completion rate, videos should be short and concise, and capture the viewer's attention within the first 3 seconds.
Engagement rate (likes, comments, shares) is equally important. Encourage users to participate in video topics through interaction, such as setting suspense, asking questions, or adding challenging content.

3. Utilize Hot Topics and Creativity
TikTok users love fresh, interesting, and trendy content. Timely capture platform hot topics and integrate brand features into the content to increase video exposure opportunities. For example, participating in popular hashtag challenges or using trending background music can effectively increase video recommendations.
2. Data Optimization: The Core of Weight Improvement
1. Analyze Data Metrics
TikTok provides detailed data analysis tools. Creators should regularly check metrics such as video views, completion rate, and engagement data to understand which content performs best and optimize content strategies accordingly.
2. Reasonable Posting Frequency
A stable posting frequency helps increase account activity. For brands and personal accounts, it is recommended to post 3-5 high-quality pieces of content per week and avoid long periods without updates.
3. Continuously Optimize Content Performance
Adjust content direction based on data feedback. For example, if a certain type of video performs well, focus on producing and optimizing similar content. At the same time, test different video formats and styles to find the preferences of your target audience.
