It might seem daunting to start creating video content if you\u2019re new to it, but if your audience is out there, you\u2019ll want to know how to reach them and how to promote art TikToks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are about 689 million active users on TikTok, and when you\u2019re reading this, there are probably plenty more. The app is known for having a young audience, with most of its users falling within the 10- to 29-year-old age bracket. If you\u2019re trying to target the younger generations, then TikTok is the place to be. That being said, there are still plenty of other ages and niche groups within the app, so if you market yourself right, then promoting art on TikTok can be very successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>First Up, the Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about TikTok is that you have tons of freedom to create. TikTok users like to learn and be entertained, so think about all the ways you can cater to this and showcase your art. To get you started, here are some video styles that other artists have used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Film the creation of a piece from start to finish<\/li><li>Talk about your favourite tools<\/li><li>Give artist tips of your own<\/li><li>Show the sketch you started with versus the final product<\/li><li>Talk about your preferred medium<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Hashtags, Hashtags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hashtags are important for any social media platform, and TikTok is no exception. When you create a video, add hashtags before you post it to help people discover your work. You don\u2019t want to go crazy here; a few relevant hashtags will do the trick to get you noticed. If you participate in a challenge or trend, then definitely include the corresponding hashtag. You can add some of the following hashtags to make sure the right people see your videos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#artistsoftiktok<br>#artchallenge<br>#arttiktok<br>#artiktok<br>#arttok<br>#digitalart<br>#artistcheck<br>#arttutorial&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Choose Your Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1228158289-768x512-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1228158289-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.contrado.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1228158289-768x512-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Just like hashtags, the sounds and music you use are important to promote art TikToks. There are a few ways to choose a sound. Using your own sound can benefit you because if it\u2019s catchy, other people might want to use it. Every time someone uses your sound, you\u2019ll get the credit, which can drive more people to your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also browse the popular sounds for something that fits the vibe of your video. Using popular sounds can lead to more views and getting your art TikToks noticed, so definitely give this feature a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Bounce-Off Other Creatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok is unique in that people love when you reuse their ideas. If you see another creator starting a trend or doing something that inspires you, respond to their video with a duet or stitch. These features allow you to show your video side by side or respond to their video with yours, respectively. Always be sure to credit the original creator if possible, partly because it\u2019s good karma and partly because it can help you gain views when their viewers see your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Add a Linktree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok isn\u2019t a selling platform (not yet anyway\u2026) so you\u2019ll need to let people know where they can find and buy your art on TikTok. If you have a website that you want to direct everyone to, add the link in your profile bio. If you have multiple places that you want to link to, like your website, Instagram, and store on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.contrado.com\/why-join-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contrado<\/a>&nbsp;(wink wink), you can create a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/\">linktree<\/a>. People can see this link in your bio that will bring them to a page to access all your other platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Some General Art on TikTok Pointers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Authenticity is Key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As an artist, you probably already know that being true to yourself and your work is immensely important. You don\u2019t need to overdo your art TikToks to have people appreciate it. If you\u2019re the type of person to inject wild creativity into everything you do, then don\u2019t stop here! If you\u2019d prefer to take a more minimal approach with your content, then that\u2019s totally an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Hop on the Trends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TikTok artist trends move quickly, so you\u2019ll have to be fast. If you see a trend that you want to partake in, don\u2019t hesitate to start making moves. The great thing about the amount of content on TikTok is that if you\u2019ve run out of video ideas yourself, there are thousands of other ideas right in front of you to recreate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Interact with Others<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Comment on other videos and reply to comments. This gives you a chance to keep putting your profile in front of everyone! If you say something funny or interesting on someone elses video, people will \u2018like\u2019 your comment and are more likely to go to your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Make A Profit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now your art is going viral it is time to make a profit. Watch our short video on how to set up a store so you can bring your art to life on a range of products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Sell Your Art With Contrado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s possible that you could get TikTok famous overnight, but it\u2019ll probably take some time.
