What is TikTok
Before we start talking about advertising on TikTok, let’s introduce the application for those people who do not know it.
TikTok is the app of the moment. It could be considered a mix between Vine, Snapchat and Instagram Stories.
In other words, it is a social network of videos in vertical format.
At the beginning, videos could be uploaded from 3 to 15 seconds, but with the passage of time and the needs of the user, the application was extending its duration up to 10 minutes. ⏳
Additionally, TikTok included live shows where users can see their favorite creators and offer them gifts that become popularity and money for the TikToker. 🎁
Despite its recent fame, the app was born in 2016 under the name ”Douyin”.
Currently, TikTok has more than 1.5 billion downloads and more than 500 million active users. Despite that, approximately 66% of users are young people under the age of 30. 👦
