With this trick, you'll go completely viral on TikTok as an unknown person

It's still nice that when you post a video on TikTok, your footage gets viewed five million times. But how do you go viral as an unknown person?

Because the big influencer has reach, we understand that. Even if they fart in front of the camera, it's still a trending video. How do you approach it as a nobody?

The simplest way to go viral is to participate in popular trends. Use trending sounds, hashtags, and challenges, but give it a unique twist so you stand out. How? Scroll through the For You page and see which sounds or ideas come up often.

And think shorter and shorter and shortest. Mand. TikTok rewards videos that are often watched in full. Therefore, keep your videos between 7 and 15 seconds. The shorter and more powerful, the better your chance of success. The first few seconds of your video are crucial. If you can grab people's attention right away, they will keep watching. Use sharp and clear visuals, that’s for sure. But grab that attention at the beginning. What is so interesting to show? And especially: think of something that makes them want to keep watching. What happens in your video? Just saying three things to the camera won't be enough.

Your technique also needs to be right, of course. Hashtags help TikTok understand what your video is about and who wants to see it. Combine broad hashtags (#viral, #fyp, #trending) with niche hashtags (#recepten, #diyproject).

The timing of your post can make a big difference. Generally, the best times are:

Weekdays: 18:00 – 22:00 hours
Weekends: 10:00 – 14:00 hours

Okay, and then the content. What are you making a video about? A dance, a makeup tutorial, or a shopping unboxing? All fun, but it's done so often already. Create something original. Something that doesn't exist yet. Think further, think bigger. Do something different and make it unique, then you will definitely be rewarded by TikTok's algorithm. Personal stories always perform better than unboxing the same perfume bottle. What makes you, you? Use yourself to grow your TikTok – just dare, go for it. You have nothing to lose, only to gain. Go do it.
