TikTok for Small Business: How to Start Selling Today

4/24/2025

0 Comments

 
With over 1 billion users worldwide and a rapidly growing e-commerce ecosystem, TikTok has become a powerful platform for small businesses and solopreneurs to reach new audiences and boost sales. Whether you’re a boutique owner, a skincare brand, or a service provider, or someone with an under 40 audience, TikTok offers a unique way to connect through short-form, engaging video content. 

But getting started—especially if you're new to the platform—can be intimidating. It can feel like walking into the cafeteria on the first day of high school when you don’t know anyone. You feel like you’re one lame comment away from ruining your career. 

But don’t worry. There’s a lot of potential out there. And who knows? You might even have some fun.

This guide breaks down the basics of selling on TikTok, best practices for beginners, what to avoid, and concerns about the platform’s uncertain future in the U.S.

Harnessing TikTok’s Engagement Magic

1/31/2025

0 Comments

 
TikTok has been likened to the Yukon—a vast wild place with enormous potential for engagement gold. But also, a potential dark side. That’s part of its allure and if you’re target market is under 40, you’re likely on it (or considering it). 

TikTok has revolutionized the way brands connect with audiences. Its addictive short-form video format, fueled by trends, challenges, and a powerful algorithm, has become a goldmine for businesses and creators alike. In fact, TikTok boasts higher engagement rates than Instagram and YouTube, and many creators report significantly higher earnings on the platform. 

Even if you’re not monetized on it, you have most likely seen much larger views of your content there than the other video platforms. That’s due, in part, to its users’ voracious appetites for video. Your content will be seen—although it may not be watched (through its entirety, or anything close to it).

But savvy business owners know that relying solely on any single platform, even one as potent as TikTok, is a risky strategy. What happens if the algorithm shifts, your content gets shadowbanned, or the platform itself faces regulatory challenges (a very real concern for TikTok)?
That's why diversifying your marketing efforts is crucial.  

Instead of abandoning TikTok (views, clicks, and higher monetization rates make it worth staying), leverage its strengths to fuel your presence across multiple platforms. 

Here's how:

How to Get More Love for Your Business on Social Media

11/27/2024

0 Comments

 
​Social media is becoming more and more frustrating, right? If you have used it to connect with your audience for ten years or so, you undoubtedly have seen crazy changes in your reach. If you’re new to the social media for business scene, reaching 2% of your audience probably feels pretty normal.
 
But if you’re not reaching your audience, how are they going to know who you are and all the wonderful things your business can bring them?
 
When it comes to building a loyal following, there are several things you can do. Ultimately, reach is still dependent on the platform’s algorithm, but every social media channel claims to respond to value. To reach more people, you need them to see you as providing valuable content they want to interact with. Here’s how you can start doing that.

How to Get More ROI from Social Media

8/3/2020

​When business owners complain that their social media efforts aren't paying off and they just aren't seeing a return in their investment of time, it’s usually because they’re using the Jackson Pollack approach to social. They’re simply “flinging” paint on a canvas. There’s no goal behind what they’re doing. It’s random. That approach may create beautiful art, but it rarely works for business.

​If ever there was a reason to increase and alter your social media and blog posting, it’s COVID. At first, with so much of the workforce at home, there was a lot of traffic online. You may have been happy with the number of reactions and shares you were getting.
 
But let's face it, people were bored or they were stressed. Either way, they were looking for an outlet and entertainment. Some wanted to use this time as a way to advance themselves professionally and they launched into all sorts of personal development. But months in, you're likely seeing a drop off in participation, shares, and interactions.
 
 Why?
 
In most cases, it's fatigue. People are tired of the same old chatter.
 
So how do you get their attention again?
 
You do so by altering your patterns of communication and working on what you share. Here are several ideas that can help jump-start your business posts whether it be on your blog or on social media.
