TikTok and Photographers

I know I am not the only one addicted to TikTok. Show of hands? A lot of people say “its just for kids” but in all honesty it’s so much more than that! 40% is age range 10-19 yes, but 26% is ages 20-29 that number may seem small but with 500 million active monthly users those numbers are just downright amazing in my opinion.

In my own personal opinion, not using social media and any way for exposure possible, is just not good business. Free exposure is free exposure. I have been on TikTok Since January 30th and currently (3/18) have 23.2 thousand followers. These videos literally take me 5 minutes to make, and get 1000+ views per video, and then some take off! I have one video currently sitting at 1.7 MILLION VIEWS!!! Like what!?!? You are telling me, that out of those 1.7 million views non of them are my target market? Thats just completely baffling to me that people keep saying that! I have booked weddings, engagement sessions, family sessions, and more from the followers I have on this app. People are finding me from across the country and setting up sessions to travel to me because of this app.

Plain and simple this app is a great business tool from my point of view. Imagine scoffing at Facebook and instagram marketing because teenagers are on the app?

Just no. Get on the app, start making content, and watch your following grow. My IG alone has gone up by 1000 followers since I got on here. That is people following my bio in TikTok to IG just to follow me. Facebook numbers have gone up to on my page!

I just highly recommend it. Here are some of my favorite Videos I have posted.
