Use the captions, the sounds, the effects in TikTok (for the SEO) * Repost other people's stuff. * **Whether gameplay or talking heads works better?** * Really depends on how it's done * Usually better to be really short & really contained unless it really has some meat to it (like a personal story that will connect with people) * **Projections for how viable TikTok is?** * No idea what will happen, but making stuff that is cross-platform can help * Focus on making vertical video not just TikToks because vertical video are gonna be here for a while * **I wanna learn about sounds or use original audio or use trending sounds** * You do want to jump on the trending sounds if you can but sometimes it's good to use your original audio if it's hitting a niche ## Eileen's Presentation [Check out here](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1l03RI4uCwAX7eRv9dwJ36i7RuLpYSMO83vqBhkJXzrQ/edit?usp=sharing) ## Daffodil: * Views numbers are generally below 1000 * Quick 5 second one was the first to get over 1000 views * One with trending audio & loop really popped off on Instagram * One got flagged as dangerous and another got flagged as performed by professionals * Better to get on a trend earlier in the spike rather than later: [Link](https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter/inspiration/popular/hashtag/pc/en) ## Dunc: * Been doing vertical social media for people since 2016 * Recommends using all the social media with the same content. Repurpose! * He has even re-uploaded directly from TikTok to YouTube with TikTok watermark and it's been successful * Best practice is to upload it clean (without watermarks) * RNG you're dealing with where you can upload the same video and it will do differently * You get another shot on net if you post the same thing to a different platform * Try to fill up the vertical space as much as you can * All platforms are optimizing to vertical * There are really good ways with games especially to spread your assets out without superzooming on your trailer. * Have assets in top and bottom wooshing by while regular trailer played in the middle (to make the horizontal video work in a vertical way) * Can do a blur on the top and bottom in Premiere * But be careful that the important parts aren't cut off by the captions at the bottom! ### SEO: * Venba a good example as well as Sally * Hidden text: * Hide the SEO text in the image so no one really sees (!!) * Great if the captions don't really match the aesthetic * You can overdo it. Too many hashtags, end up being shadowbanned for spamming. * Do a series: * Many posts about characters * Plan in a series to make it easier to plan what you're doing next * Could be beneficial to make separate accounts * Studio account / game account * So you have more chances ### Funnel of content: * 10 seconds of story (too many Instagram stories are bad) * 1 minute reel * longer YouTube video * We can boost one another / comment on each other's videos and ask questions.
