TikTok Tag

Amid TikTok’s meteoric rise, one thing it’s been criticized for is its trending amplification without creator credit.

This was specifically highlighted in the platform’s trending dance moves, with creators from black communities, in particular, calling on TikTok to do more to acknowledge the origins of these within the app.

Which it is now looking to do, through the launch of new tools to better allow users to credit trend setters, as well as new educational prompts and videos that explain the importance of the same.

As by TikTok:

“With the launch of these credit tools, creators will have the ability to directly tag, mention and credit a video in their description, showcasing the diverse voices on the platform and the strength of our community. Whether it’s participating in the latest trend, adding a punchline to a joke, or creating the next viral sound, creators can easily and directly quote their inspiration.

As you can see in the example above, the new process will make tagging easier in the publishing process.

Once you’ve uploaded your clip, tap the new “video” icon and you’ll be able to add video tags. From here, you’ll be able to select a video you’ve previously liked, favorited, or posted, or a video that uses the same sound as your upload. The video tag will then be added as a mention in the caption, crediting the original creator and ensuring proper attribution from your clips.

“We are also adding more user prompts for credit throughout the posting process, as well as an educational pop-up that encourages and explains the importance of credit. These features are an important step in our ongoing commitment to investing in resources and product experiences that support a culture of credit, which is critical to ensuring TikTok remains a place for creative expression.

Which would be even better if TikTok offered this on its own, but as noted, the platform has been heavily and publicly criticized for its cultural appropriation across various trends, which is why it’s now taking this step.

Anyway, it’s a positive result, but it would be a bit more progressive if TikTok had implemented such tools on its own initiative.

Maybe it will be a better indicator for future applications and help improve relevant consideration.

We’ll wait and see, but at least now we’ll see more TikTok creators get more in-app credit.

Although if people choose not to credit, they’ll have no more excuses, which could leave TikTok with a few more moderation headaches.

Gaming is huge, and gaming’s influence on modern popular culture is even greater, with a host of modern trends and changes aligned with gaming and creators in the space.

Even seemingly unrelated trends have been linked to gaming, and as such, it’s worth paying attention to the emerging discussion around gaming and considering how it might relate to your own marketing efforts.

I mean, anyone under the age of 40 has been playing games their whole life, right? That could present a significant opportunity for your promotional efforts.

Linked to this, TikTok has posted a new overview of how its platform ties into gaming culture and opportunities to promote gaming projects and related initiatives.

According to TikTok:

“The global community of gamers is huge, and judging by the amount of gaming-related content on the platform, many of these gamers can be found on TikTok. In fact, the top 100 gaming-related hashtags on TikTok receive more than 40 billion video views a month, according to internal company data. The TikTok gaming community is also ready to spend. According to a recent survey, 65% of US TikTok users have made an in-app purchase in the last 3-6 months.”

In some ways, it’s surprising that gaming is overlooked as a niche of interest, or as one that primarily appeals to younger consumers, because while it is young people who spend most of their time playing games, general familiarity with space, coupled with gaming nostalgia and connection, can be a powerful lure, in many ways.

In terms of marketing mobile game projects specifically, TikTok advises that game developers take a three-stage approach to their promotional efforts:

• Organic – This is your chance to present yourself authentically and build trust with your audience. Use your organic content to learn how consumers interact with your brand. This is the perfect plan for testing content formats and then scaling what works
• Paid out- Use paid campaigns to amplify your high-performing content. Paid campaigns also give you the opportunity to directly test new audiences or target and optimize for specific business goals.
• won- Generate engagement and discussion within the TikTok community. The more you publish and amplify your best content, the more you maximize the opportunities and potential to gain influence in the community.

I mean, those are pretty basic principles of digital marketing, really, but they’re also important building blocks for any strategy, when testing ideas with organic products, promoting the best ones, and engaging with your audience.

TikTok also notes that its platform works well as a partner channel, combining its promotions across media.

• TikTok complements traditional media – Watching an ad on TV after watching an ad from the creator of TikTok increases the memory encoding of the TV ad by 13%.
• TikTok amplifies social networks – Viewing content from an Instagram influencer is 43% more memorable if you’re already primed for the content through TikTok.
• TikTok Premium Digital Video Audiences: You are 31% less likely to skip a YouTube ad if you first saw a creator’s ad on TikTok

I’m not sure Instagram and YouTube are totally happy to be included in these comparisons, as a move to align with TikTok’s promotions, but the bottom line is that TikTok can be a great platform to reinforce your messages and solidify the connection with your audience. audience.

Finally, TikTok has also provided this 3×3 grid of tips to plan your campaigns and maximize your creative elements.

These apply to all TikTok campaigns, not just games, and it may be worth keeping this overview handy for your future TikTok promotions.

Here are some helpful notes and important data points related to the ever-evolving gaming conversation on TikTok specifically. But in reality, most of these notes relate to all digital marketing campaigns, and these items are worth considering for your TikTok marketing efforts, as you look to build a more effective platform approach.

TikTok has announced a range of new features to celebrate Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, including a showcase of API creators as part of the next stage of its ‘Trailblazers’ program, as well as new in-app stickers to enable users to take part in the event.

The main focus is TikTok’s Trailblazers initiative – TikTok has selected 12 API creators to take part in this year’s promotion, each of whom will be featured in the app throughout May.

As explained by TikTok:

“This year’s API TikTok Trailblazers are creators who are shaping entertainment, culture, content, and trends both on and off of TikTok. They were nominated by the TikTok community for using their platform to educate, entertain, and advocate for the API community. Throughout Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, our 2022 Trailblazers will share their stories and showcase the #APIFamily through creator spotlights and LIVE programming.”

It’s the second year that TikTok has run its API Trailblazers program, which is an important initiative in helping to showcase different communities and cultures to the app’s billion-plus users.

TikTok will also host a range of live-stream events throughout the month, within which it will highlight API-owned SMBs and non-profit organizations, while it’s also sharing stories of its own employees from the API community.

TikTok will also highlight music playlists that feature API talent, while it’s also adding new stickers that users can add to their content to participate in the event.

TikTok’s been working to establish better connection with a range of communities, and to use its platform to showcase different cultures and movements, to help facilitate understanding and inclusion on a broader scale. The app is hugely popular across various regions and cultures, and that gives TikTok a great opportunity to play a role in facilitating such connection, and celebrating diversity where it can.

This new initiative is just another step in that push, and it’s good to see TikTok looking to showcase a broader range of creators, of all different types, within the app.

TikTok’s API Heritage Month programming will run throughout the month of May.

It’s official: Tiktok is booming. It has become one of the favorite social networks of centennials and we hear more and more about it.

TikTok is adding a range of new ways to encourage engagement with your in-stream ads, with new “interactive add-ons” that, as they sound, integrate interactive elements into your video promotions.

As you can see from these examples, TikTok’s interactive add-ons provide a range of engagement features that invite users to take action on your ad, inviting them into the experience.

As by TikTok:

“Interactive add-ons offer a unique way to attract engaged viewers with popups, stickers, and other visuals. Viewers who have shared, liked or commented on a TikTok branded video are 150% more likely to purchase a product or service. Grabbing the attention of active consumers is made easier with these creative new enhancements. »

I mean, that’s probably a slightly misleading statistic in this context, because it’s based on current usage trends – i.e. people who are currently interacting with TikTok ads, not the ones you’re inducing to interact with these features.

You would think that people who engage with generic TikTok ads are more likely to buy than those who engage because of these new triggers, but even so, it could be a good way to elicit a response and build momentum. brand booster, with an interesting range of options to consider in your TikTok marketing approach.

As you can see here, add-ons are categorized into “Premium” and “Standard” add-ons, which aren’t about ad spend levels, but about your specific goals.

“Standard add-ons provide a way to achieve lower-funnel marketing goals, like driving clicks and conversions. Premium add-ons provide a way to achieve upper-funnel goals, like brand awareness and community building. Both give you a unique chance to capture people’s attention in a format that resonates with them.

That said, not all of these options are available to all advertisers yet, with notes on TikTok’s help page indicating they’re still in testing. and not available for all accounts.

But they soon will be, and it offers a range of new options to consider in your TikTok marketing process, including some great ad prompts that can help boost your response rates.

The true effectiveness of these will depend on how you use them and how you can leverage the right triggers to encourage the next steps you want your potential customers to take.

This will take some experimentation and testing, but now you have a whole new range of options to try, which could open up great opportunities for your endeavors.

If nothing else, they certainly look interesting, and there will be some really interesting creative uses for these options that improve the performance of TikTok ads.

Definitely worth considering – you can read more about the new TikTok Complementary interactive ads here.

After years of internal testing and experimenting with downvote options in social apps, we’re now seeing more platforms actually testing them, though not exactly in the way that many would have assumed, based on previous discussions.

TikTok is the latest platform to test a downvote option, and some users now see downvote messages that allow them to flag video responses they don’t want to see.

As TikTok explains it:

“We have started testing a way to allow people to identify comments that they think are irrelevant or inappropriate. This community feedback will add to the range of factors we already use to help keep the comments section consistently relevant and a place for genuine engagement. To avoid creating bad feelings among community members or demoralizing creators, only the person who registered a comment that I don’t like will be able to see that they did so.”

As you can see from the example above (posted by a social media expert matthew navarra), some users now see a “like” icon to the right of video responses, allowing them to signal their disinterest or dissatisfaction with the comment. TikTok first started experimenting with the option in 2020, but is now expanding the option to a broader group of users.

TikTok hasn’t explained how this will affect comment ranking, and whether this will lead to a change in how it displays comments for individual users or in general, but the idea is that this will give you more comments on what you don’t. users like. , allowing you to further hone your systems to prioritize the most relevant and engaging feedback.

So it’s not exactly a downvote option like you see on Reddit, where the community dictates the ranking of answers. But it could be, eventually, depending on how TikTok decides to go with those ideas.

As noted, several platforms are running similar tests, with Facebook also testing downvotes for answers and Twitter also working on the same thing. Maybe that leads to a variable ranking of responses, or maybe it helps platforms spot more trends and patterns in negative responses to better take action on them. By being vague about how response data is used, they leave the door open for different approaches, but it would be assumed that eventually this will allow for better ranking of comments, which could help improve engagement.

Really, it might be better to follow a Reddit model, where users can see the full data about the replies that prompt their comments, so they can then better understand the community’s response to their comments, which could be a better cycle educational feedback to encourage more civil interaction. But at the same time, there’s some hesitation in adding potentially negative comments like this, and with so few Twitter users already posting comments (10% of Twitter users create 80% of tweet content, according to research), that’s probably not the best way to encourage wider interaction in each app.

For context, the above analysis has suggested that Over 98% of Reddit’s monthly active users never post or comment on the app.

In addition to downvotes, TikTok is also experimenting with new reminders that will guide creators to their comment filtering and bulk blocking and removal options.

“Reminders will be shown to creators whose videos appear to receive a high proportion of negative comments. We will continue to remove comments that violate our Community Guidelines, and creators can continue to report comments or accounts individually or collectively for our review.”

TikTok will now also allow users create in-app reports via videoadding another way to provide more context in your reports, while also better aligning with app usage behavior.

Combined, the new tools will improve the feedback cycle for TikTok users and provide more information for TikTok to refine and further improve its systems, which could help make the app experience safer, more welcoming, and more attractive.

YouTube has taken a new step in advancing the use of subtitles in its app, while TikTok is also looking to expand its accessibility features by make automatic subtitles available on all clips.

First, on YouTube: today, YouTube Chief Product Officer neal mohamed announced that creators can more easily outsource the creation and editing of captions on their clips in the YouTube Studio app.

As you can see here, now in the “Permissions” item there is a new option to add a “Caption Editor” role in the app, so you can grant third party access to manage subtitles on your clips.

This will help improve the accuracy and readability of your content’s captions. YouTube also, it should be noted, offers automated captions on all uploads, but since these are automated they are not always accurate, which is especially true for some languages, and this option will facilitate additional manageability. on this aspect.

TikTok is also looking to upgrade access to captions and improve usability for more people, by enabling automatic English captions by default for all uploads.

As you can see in this alert, shared by a social media expert Matt Navarre, TikTok is looking to expand the availability of subtitles by enabling them by default. Users can still include their own subtitles, which would override this step, while they can also enable disable auto-generated subtitles or change language display options in the download stream.

Although in most cases you can also leave them on – and you can change auto captions after they’ve been created, and for most short clips in the app it probably won’t take long to make sure that they are Correct.

Either way, it will bring more text options to more TikTok clips, which can only help improve accessibility, while also helping users watch in “silent” environments to get better context on the subject of your videos.

Accessibility has become a key focus for social apps in recent years, with each platform adding more tools and options to help a wider range of users access their content. Which is a positive step and a significant development for the more than 70 million deaths worldwide.

Additionally, with over 80% of Deaf people living in developing regions, this is also a critical consideration for apps as they reach new markets, and with TikTok and YouTube seeing adoption. wider in the world, it is important that each application takes relevant steps to maximize utility.
