TikTok was a total gamechanger for me and my writing career in terms of book sales! It helped me become a full time author. I'm a huge advocate of it, if you enjoy using it :) Great intro to TikTok!
Thanks you, very much❤ Muito obrigado, estou começando e acredito que no Brasil posso ser também um divisor de água. Gratidão 😊❤❤ Desculpe escreve em português que não tive tempo de traduzir mas queria lhe agradecer pelo comentário
I have a book that reminds me of a forgotten middle child. She's my second novel. Stuck between my first and my third. Sort of forgotten. Sort of out there and not given the love she deserves. She's all yours TikTok. Treat her well.
I appreciated this! I’m new to tiktok & decided to just dive in because I figured it’s the easiest way to learn. I was sitting here trying to figure out how I can provide value though because it started feeling like all I’m concerned about is promoting my book release 😩
this was extremely helpful to me as a new author, considering using Tiktok to promote my book. Your information was clear, concise and very practical. Until I listened to this and understood the need to "connect and relate to people as humans" rather than "going in for the hard sale right away," I might have done just that!
Hi. Thanks for the info as a author on TikTok. I have 2 books I've written and am looking to dive into TikTok to help advance my book interest and the info I have to offer readers and more. Im an entertainer as well, but transitioning to professional writing. Open to creative ideas for marketing and more! Love to cross prompt as well. Thanks for your insights!
I have heard tiktok is good for authors but feel I'm barely grasping Instagram! However, it does make me wonder if content would work better over there? 🤔 it's definitely on my list to sign up to and have a look!
Hi Rhian! What I would suggest is to focus on creating Reels first on Instagram. Get comfortable and consistent with that and then you can upload your Reels to TikTok. 😊 Work smarter not harder 🙌🏻
Pay attention to one's tiktok content popularity by identifying engagement rate (a related metric) knowing such helsp you conduct prospective business decisions. Tools such as *phlanx's tiktok engagement rate calculator* help you identify such metric easily
I really liked this video. So much information and so easy to understand. I’m not published yet, working on a few projects that I want to publish next year. I haven’t started my TikTok yet either but I want to sometime too
As an author talking about the book - you will write more and you don’t want to re-create accounts for each book. Building your presence as an author will help you to talk about multiple books without creating new accounts every time. 😊
If your book is completely different from horse riding and is intended for a different audience, I would certainly set up another account. If your book is along the same lines (maybe about horse riding, or something that amplifies your business) you can use the same account. :)
It will be interesting to see what happens - it’s just another reason why building a newsletter list outside of social media is so important. Social media is rented space…

I'm self published and I have just been at a total loss on how to market.

Hi! I'm trying to self publish. Can some of you share what kind of posts you started making?
Thank you loved your video. I am a 72 year-old great grandmother turned author that needs lots of help
Nice to come across to someone in my age range. I'm wondering whether TikTok is a platform I can work with
Me too. Just published. Most of my clients hang out on tic toc, so it makes sense for me. Nervous.
Thank you for the video that is great information. 💞
thank you so much for putting on the right path

Have you seen an increase in book sales after using TIK-TOK?

Hi, what do you think, should I open an account related to the book, or me as an author and talking about the book
As an author talking about the book - you will write more and you don’t want to re-create accounts for each book. Building your presence as an author will help you to talk about multiple books without creating new accounts every time. 😊
I write WW2 sagas set in London. Most of my readers are over 40. It is worth using TikTok?
I’m a historical romance author - do you think Tiktok would be a good fit for me?
I would love to ask ,,how about getting parents to get children books for their kids ?
I have a personal Tiktok account that promotes my horse riding business. Do I need to set up another account for my books? Thank you.
If your book is completely different from horse riding and is intended for a different audience, I would certainly set up another account. If your book is along the same lines (maybe about horse riding, or something that amplifies your business) you can use the same account. :)
Thank you so much
thank you.
Do I use TikTock to connect...but keep my books on Amazon for inventory simplicity? Douglas Hardee (Author) Cosmic DJ
That’s exactly right 🙌🏻
I know how to upload, but how do I make a decent video?
How are you feeling about the legislation to break TikTok away from parent company with regards to authors?
