2. Be transparent and personal
Much of TikTok's success is based on transparency. Here, everyone has the same opportunity to succeed, which has favored the personal and unfiltered clips. Continue in the same vein and showcase the personal side of your business. Both the good and the not-so-good aspects of your business should be featured on the platform.
Content idea
Visit the CEO's office. What exciting houseplants do they have in the window and what happened that time they missed their business flight to Singapore? Dare to mix personality with both humor and seriousness. Show that your company's employees are people just like everyone else.
3. Educate and offer knowledge
TikTok has become a channel for quick knowledge and whether you are looking for information on how to best clean an oven, cook cheap food or sleep comfortably, that expertise is here. Jump on the knowledge train and offer tips and tricks related to your business.

5. Lead viewers to conversion
