Our <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/white-papers\/publishing-trends-report-2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Publishing Trends Report 2023<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that 59% of publishers believed TikTok would be more important to them this year compared to 2022 \u2014 a jump of 39% percentage points in the last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These developments, however, are taking place against the backdrop of <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/article\/tiktok-ban.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growing regulatory pressure on TikTok\u2019s parent company ByteDance<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It is conceivable that the world\u2019s fastest growing social media app could soon be <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2023\/mar\/27\/us-tiktok-ban-aoc-joins-protest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">banned in the US<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Why, then, are so many news organizations choosing to invest in a platform whose future is shrouded in uncertainty?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why invest in a platform with an uncertain future?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. The short term gain justifies the investment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The simplest answer is that whatever happens to TikTok in the future is less important than the benefit to be gained from the platform now. When we asked publishers which activities would be more important to them this year, 47% of respondents to our survey answered <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">growing social followers and engagement<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Publishers are going where the audiences are, figuring that readers exposed to their content will either follow them on other social platforms or sign up to newsletters in the event that TikTok becomes unviable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. All social media is becoming like TikTok<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the long term, the continued investment in TikTok is an indication of the new realities of social media as a whole \u2014 quite simply, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/technology\/2023\/04\/tiktok-facebook-instagram-youtube-reels-shorts-copying.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok has changed the game<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last couple of years, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/6\/15\/23168887\/facebook-discovery-engine-redesign-tiktok\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/instagram-boss-responds-to-backlash-says-video-will-be-key-2022-7?r=US&amp;IR=T\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2022\/oct\/26\/youtube-battle-with-tiktok-takes-its-toll-as-revenues-dip-alphabet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have all sharpened their focus on TikTok, looking to ape its once distinctive allure to users. The calculation here, therefore, is that even if the platform was to be banned, the innovations that it pioneered, such as short-form vertical format video, will remain, alive and well, on other platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meta\u2019s cross-platform Reels as well as YouTube Shorts have seen impressive performance stats. Meta announced during its Q1 2023 earnings call that Reels had been responsible for a <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2023\/04\/26\/meta-says-time-spent-on-instagram-grew-24-thanks-to-tiktok-style-ai-reel-recommendations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">24% increase in time spent on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/blog\/why-is-facebook-traffic-falling-and-how-can-you-combat-it-effectively\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steadily declining referral traffic from Facebook<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for news publishers is, in part, the result of a reprioritization of video content over text-based content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Investments made into acquiring the skills and technology to produce content on TikTok can therefore be put to productive use on other platforms where short-form vertical videos have been incorporated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results of our publisher survey reinforce this. For 47% of publishers, creating video will be more important this year than last.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to succeed on TikTok? Timing is everything<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the here and now, how can publishers take advantage of TikTok\u2019s popularity and increase the potential virality of their content?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most fundamental difference between TikTok and Facebook is the nature of its \u201crecommender algorithms\u201d which determine what content is served up to a given user. These algorithms can theoretically pick from any piece of content on the platform, without being tied to only what is produced by followed accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This removes a barrier to publishers who want to increase their exposure on the platform. Not having the potential visibility of content circumscribed by follower numbers means that, theoretically, it\u2019s easier for any publisher to produce viral content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Achieving high performance on TikTok is all a matter of timing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process by which TikTok promotes content is simple: it shows content to a small sample of users in its For You feed, and if engagement and watch time is high the video gets promoted to a larger group and so on. Posting video at a time in which a high number of engaged users are active means that the potential for virality is immediately increased.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilizing AI-powered social media management tools to optimize post timings is therefore a simple and cost-effective way to increase visibility. The fact that a publisher\u2019s TikTok follower count has virtually no bearing on which content is promoted allows greater opportunities for AI systems to maximize the potential visibility of a video and help its performance snowball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Echobox\u2019s new TikTok integration does just this. Echobox uses AI technology to analyze prevailing audience trends on the platform and calculate the best time to post, ensuring as many active users as possible are exposed to your content. And it does this not just for your followers, but also for non-followers interested in similar content, ensuring the broadest possible audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using Echobox\u2019s simple UI, you can create and share videos to TikTok, and keep track of your post\u2019s performance with detailed analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 770px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-5006-1\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/TikTok-launch-1.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/TikTok-launch-1.mp4\">https:\/\/www.echobox.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/TikTok-launch-1.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The future of TikTok remains uncertain, but the platform is rich in immediate benefits.
