fanfic/fandom ettiquite guide

Okay, I've seen some things recently that make me think there is some need to make a master post of some general fandom and fic ettiquite just because some people may not know and I think there's a huge wave of fanfic becoming more mainstream especially on apps like tiktok.

If you don't like it, don't engage with it!! I think this above all, is the golden rule of fandom. The internet is made for you to be able to mute, hide, and censor things you don't like. DO THAT! don't make a career off of hating things. This goes along with the three laws of fandom, which u should check out FIRST OF ALL.

DON'T GATEKEEP!! If you're posting about a fic, art, ANYTHING link it, credit it! Don't post a tiktok about a fic and then refuse to give the name. Not only are you failing to credit the creators of this content, but you're taking away from the fact that fandom is a COMMUNITY where content is meant for everyone.

Ao3 is an archive. You're going to see things you might not like or even find offensive or uncomfortable. But fanfic is not meant to be censored. Ao3 is made to be unfiltered, people can post anything and everything. Posting fics on other sites simply to shame their content not only brings MORE attention to it, but it's pointless. If you want a website that is censored go to wattpad. And of course, if you don't like it DON'T READ. You can filter your tags and warnings on ao3 so it won't show you that content.

Along those lines LEARN HOW TO USE AO3. There is no algorithm, it is not tiktok. You don't need to censor words in your tags. Your fics are not magically getting pushed out to people. Make sure you're using "person 1/person 2" for romantic relationships and "person 1 & person 2" for non-romantic relationships. Make sure things like non-con and underage are tagged under the warnings. AND AS A READER, know how to filter ships and tags to find the content you want. You can filter by kudos, certain tags, exclude certain relationships or characters etc. USE IT.

Do not create placeholder fics or other "non fics" on ao3. This is against their terms of service. You can (and probably will) be reported, this annoys people endlessly. We don't want to find a fic and open it to see "I haven't written this yet, sorry!" JUST SAVE A DRAFT OR DO IT IN A DOCUMENT? this seems like way to rack up hits, and it comes across as disingenuous, I don't see a real valid reason to make placeholders.

HOW TO WRITE AN ACCEPTABLE COMMENT: long is not important. A simple "loved this!" will make an author happy. DO NOT say any variation of "update pls?" regardless of how nice you think it is. Authors update when they can.I'm not the only author I've seen unhappy with this. JUST WAIT, either it will be updated or it won't, and either way you will live. If you have nothing nice to say about a fic?? MOVE ON. Don't leave a hate comment.

Do not rate or publicly shit on fanfic! A lot of authors know many people, and the chances of that author seeing whatever you're saying about their work is very high. If you don't like it, click off and read something else. If it's still living rent-free in your mind, that sounds like fan behavior to me. And there is no standard fics are supposed to meet, don't rate them.

Don't cross-post fics. Don't put fics on other sites, don't put translation on other sites. DON'T DO ANYTHING with a fic without checking with the author first. On that note, also don't post fics on GoodReads etc. unless an author explicitly says it's okay.

IF YOU DO NOT MARK YOUR BOOKMARKS AS PRIVATE AUTHORS CAN SEE THEM!! If you're going to say anything that isn't positive, you better mark that as private or better yet, move on. Don't say anything on a public bookmark you wouldn't want the author to read.

YOU CANNOT PROFIT OFF OF FANFIC, don't sell bound fics! Don't bind fics if the intention is to sell them. You're potentially creating a lawsuit for the authors of these fics and putting the existence of fanfic in danger. I've seen multiple authors debating taking fics down because of binding issues, just don't do it. AND IF YOU'RE BUYING BOUND FICS YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM. it's selfish and I wish bad karma upon you.

You wouldn't think I'd have to say this but don't plagiarize or use AI to create fics/art etc. firstly making ai write something IS a form of plagiarism. bUT ALSO just write your own content. If you can't, then writing fics etc. is just not for you. No shame about it!

DON'T ASK AUTHORS TO BETA FOR YOU!! You wouldn't believe how many people have asked me to beta their fics for them, I AM NOT A BETA. I HAVE a beta because my proofreading skills are shit. If someone wants to beta they will offer, or go find a blog or somewhere where people are looking to beta. Like @needabeta You can even make a post asking around for a beta, but don't go bug your favorite authors to proofread your fics.

Really just don't harass authors. Of course, don't be afraid to send nice dms, asks, or comments if their inbox is open, but don't spam them especially if they don't reply. Respect boundaries! Don't send nasty anons, everyone knows this is a sign of jealousy and obsession. You're only succeeding in making yourself look bad. Ask yourself why is this author living rent-free in your mind, hm??

If you don't like a ship, stay away from the content geared towards that ship. There's no reason for you to be in people's inbox harassing them over a ship. It's never that deep. If you truly hate it so much, go consume the content for ships you DO like.

Stay grounded. This goes to both fic authors and readers alike. Hits and popularity are not the mark of a good fic. Getting a lot of hits doesn't mean it's good and NOT getting many doesn't mean it's bad. I'm tired of seeing tiktoks asking "so what's the next big fic?" WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE A "BIG FIC"? go look through the ao3 tag and find something you like to read, it doesn't have to be what everyone else is reading.

Headcanons are not law. People can think whatever they want about the characters. If you disagree with someone's hc, just move on... and just because a headcanon is popular, doesn't mean everyone has to abide by it. Be creative!

Don't treat artists and authors like celebs! We're all in this together! We're all losers who like the same characters and ships. Of course, compliment and be kind to all creators because we put a lot of time and effort into creating fan content for you all, but don't worship anyone. Don't treat them weirdly or make a post like "omg x followed me!" that's a bit weird. If you want to be excited, dm your friends and giggle together, but acting like authors and artists etc. are celebs only creates the room for people to stop seeing them as normal people and start acting rude or entitled. And many people are uncomfortable with it!!

TLDR; stop creating so much negativity in fandom spaces. At least in MY fandom it's just constantly shitting on ships, fics, art. It's hate anons, antis, and constant fighting about every headcanon. I'M TIRED OF IT! Learn to filter out content you don't want to see, and move on with your life instead of spreading more negativity.

If you have anything you think I should add shoot me a comment or an ask and I will add it! I'm sure I didn't get everything :) this mostly applies to my own experience being in the hp/marauders fandom for a good 10+ years, and I'm sure it varies slightly from fandom to fandom.

2/17/2024

so, I wonder if any among you have been noticing that i have been more active on here lately. While part of that is intentional, i think most of it is related to the fact that I am giving up Instagram for Lent. Am i catholic? no. am i Christian? maybe, I'm not sure. not really. still, I am giving up Instagram for Lent, which sounds enormously silly to say. I think this will be good for me, and in fact it already has been good for me. I am the kind of person who can't handle shortform content when it is constantly available to them, and I would like if i haven't found myself of Y**T*b* shorts from time to time since them. still, the compulsion to pick up my phone and scroll in order to numb my brain and distract myself is definitely fading, and it has only been a few days.

Because of the way my brain functions and also my work situation, it makes sense that I still spend quite a bit of time on my fucking phone. (although my screentime has decreased by about 2 hours.) as a result, I am spending more time on other apps, tumblr being the main one to pick up the slack. its been good! despite all of its problems (most of which are probably not going away anytime soon), i do feel like it is designed in a way that is less addictive and more enriching than other apps. There is no way to "reblog" an Instagram reel, and even likes feel kind of meaningless since most of what is on there is just reposted from other sites and disconnected from the original creator, and you can't even go back and look at your old likes. Being on tumblr has more of a community feel to it, and even if I am mostly just reblogging I get the enriching feeling of feeling more like a curator/creator.

I deleted tiktok about a year ago? since then, i have occasionally gotten back on to make videos or check on friends, but never for more than maybe 24 hours. While other copycat short form platforms can be a timesuck, there is something so fucking lobotomizing about tiktok itself. literally get brain horrors anytime i use it now, and i highly highly recommend doing what you can to make the switch if you still use it. I think more people around my age (21) are seeing that and reducing their interaction. Its kind of sad sometimes to not constantly be aware of what is trending, but there is also a kind of bliss in not constantly being aware of what is trending :)

So, shit hit the fan with the platform you were publishing your work to.

 Lately it’s felt like there aren’t any reliable places for creators to share their work and that the whole internet is going up in flames. Well...you’re right. It is. And it’s squarely because the egos of the rich and power hungry are rearing their ugly heads. But, that’s no reason for you to stop trying to get your work out in the world.

So here’s 3 essential tips for artists/creators trying to regroup and build their presence on other sites

1). HAVE A BUSINESS EMAIL

This will be your most reliable form of contact online and should be your go to when it comes to contacting you about your work. Even if you use methods like Google Forms, Ko-Fi, or any sort of external site to take commissions, it’ll always be a good idea to have an email like this as a backup especially now with so many sites being hostile to creators.

2). CAST AS WIDE OF A NET AS POSSIBLE.

If your work is on multiple sites, it's that much more likely people will see your work. Apps like Postybirb and sites like Buffer can help with this immensely. Since they let you post your work to multiple sites at once. And this doesn’t just extend to image hosting sites. Posting links to your work in discord and Reddit servers, and posting your timelapses on Youtube and TikTok can all help to build your presence. You shouldn’t be relying on a single algorithm to boost your work. You must become your own advertiser. Finally, and most importantly,

3). MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WEBSITE OR CENTRAL HUB.

In the current state of the net, it’s more important than ever for people to know where they can find you. You probably already have a linktree or Carrd if you’re a creator, and while those work best as a way to let people know where people can find your work on different sites, having a full website of your own would be ideal. Since you can have a one stop shop for people to see all of your creations and updates about things like your work schedule, commissions availability, events you’re travelling to, TOS and Pricing changes, and so on. Having your own website also gives you much more flexibility compared to simply publishing your work to a social media site. If you’re working on a long form story, like a web comic or mixed media narrative, you can tailor your website to the needs of your story instead of having to create something with the parameters of another site in mind. I cannot make any promises about where the internet will go over even the coming few months, I just hope that, with these tips, creators won’t take too much of a hit as for them to be unable to sustain themselves in their endeavors. Because their work is more than just the sites they post to, let alone their followings.

I think another thing to note is that a lot of the TSATS negativity stems mainly from users on tumblr. I’ve been on twitter & Tik tok and the reaction seems to be overwhelmingly positive. Like the first few days the book came out, seeing tumblr reactions versus other platforms was literally like night and day. I’ve even seen some ppl say they cried a lot or that it’s their fav PJO book! (Which is a surprising but whatever 😭) I have seen some criticisms on the other platforms, sometimes about the writing quality or OOC-ness or being underwhelming, but it still wasn’t all terribly negative. The only place I’ve seen VERY VERY harsh vitriol is on here, and I’m not sure why. personally I thought TSATS was okay and I have my own criticisms, but honestly I have that with every PJO-verse book. Imo some of the takes I’ve seen here are valid, but some are also really really mean and honestly a tad overdramatic, but idk why or what it is about tumblr. I think I’ll stay away from here for a while when chalice comes out.

This ask is from May 18th, I'm so sorry for the delayed replies. 😭😭😭 It got caught in a mess for quite a while aksdkdakj---

Ok. So.

You're saying that most of the negative reviews come from Tumblr whereas TikTok and Twitter give mostly good feedback. I think I can offer a few explanations about this.

Tl,dr:

Tumblr allows long posts, whereas Twitter and TikTok have a length-wise limit to their content.

Tumblr is more fandom-centered, a much more suitable place to rant in a book of a franchise.

Tumblr has a different approach, which enables different types of posts to come across you, unlike Twitter.

(Please keep in mind that I don't use TikTok, so most of this would be assumptions based on my limited knowledge about the platform. I have a Twitter account though)

Now. The first point is quite clear. Tumblr doesn't have any limitations to whatever you post on the site (or at least that limit exceeds normal people's capacity of writing/reading per post ajsdhakjdhak), which enables you to give long, complicated, detailed essays on a certain topic.

Which is the best fit if you want to criticize something.

Because unlike complimenting something, when you criticize it, you'd need to give a reason for how and why it is bad (in your opinion). To compliment something, you might just need to say simple things like "OMG I LOVE IT" "This is so adorable I might cry" etc...

Adding to that: sometimes it's just easier to list what you dislike, you know? 🤣🤣🤣 I mean. When you hate something, you'd find it very easy to focus on its flaws to dissect, which results in many rants. Whereas when you love something, you just... love it. Not mentioning sometimes you can find it hard to articulate said love.

In Twitter's case: Twitter has a character limit, which hinders people's need to rant. This appears unsuitable when you want to rant about st in dissatisfaction. Although, it'd be pretty good if you're overwhelmed with love and want to flood the complimenting post with memes.

Yes, there're people writing a whole long ass thread on Twitter. But again, with Tumblr alr providing a function, it's understandable which one would prefer.

TikTok, in addition to having a length cap on their videos - which acts roughly the same as Twitter's character limit, allows only video format. This is just a hypothesis, but I suspect people might be discouraged by the idea of making, filming, and editing a video about something they don't like - rather than just... writing it down. I find the second choice much easier.

Similar to the above, Tumblr is more fandom-centered. The app is literally advertised as for Fandoms and Creators.

When you want to share an opinion on a certain topic, you'd go for those who at least have a semblance of whatever you're talking about, right?

Tumblr is created for fandoms and has its own tag system. This makes it easier when you're targeting a certain group of enjoyers. I doubt that Twitter and TikTok, while having their own tagging systems, would be more effective than Tumblr. (Ppl on Twt rarely use tags when it comes to fandoms......)

Different approaches.

Tumblr, as far as I know, filters content by tag. Which means that if you look into the The sun and the star tag, you'd see everything related to it. If you like something from it, chances are you'd get recommended another post in said tag, regardless of what it is about. Including conflicting opinions.

On Twitter, on the other hand, if you want to see a certain topic, chances are you'd need to:

1/ Follow someone who's active on said topic. Generally, you would go for someone you like/ share some of your sentiments/ you vibe with to follow right? Hence, chances are they would share the same view as you.

2/ Search for the tag. But I doubt people would use tag for this book.

3/ Search for any other keywords. This runs the risk of missing content, which might or might not include the criticizing post.

Of course: This^^ relies heavily on my predictions and assumptions of your engagement. It might not apply that well.

All in all, it all comes down to whether and where people choose to express themselves. I have a Twitter and a Tumblr, and I choose to deliver most of my PJO content on Tumblr. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ You don't see me criticizing on Twt, but I'm def there.

About Chalice though, I don't think you need to worry lol. TSATS has its problems because it focuses on already controversial topics and is put on a pedestal before release, so people tend to be more extreme. Chalice, on the other hand, afaik, is about another average quest by Percy? It's not that... extreme, I mean, and there's hardly and complicated plot. I think of it more as a side story, really. So maybe you don't have to worry that much? lol i do hope so. 😂😂

[hashtagloveloses]

i know that everyone is blaming gen z and alpha and calling them stupid for this, but it actually isn’t their fault:

1) google has gotten demonstrably worse, ON PURPOSE in the last few years. not just because of AI, but how it changes your searches to make more money and is almost all sponsored or SEO-gamed results, plus google and facebook’s now over a decade long dismantling of journalism of all kinds, has led to this. so people of all ages are finding it less useful and finding it hard to parse accurate answers.

2) it’s a bit of a misnomer to say they aren’t using google at all - gen z, gen alpha, and other generations are using YOUTUBE, owned by Google parent company Alphabet, more than ever before, because despite its many issues and decline, it remains accessible in most countries, unblocked on most networks, and easy to use. TikTok may still be on the rise, but YouTube remains a homepage for a lot of people in the way Google used to be.

3) They’re using Tiktok (and IG despite it not really working well) more like a search engine because the app is molding itself and PROMPTING them to. every video has the search bar at the top with a suggested search term that the app generated through scanning keywords said in the video, caption, and comments. every comment section on popular video has a feature where if a phrase or word is said a lot, it turns it into a suggested search a user can click on and go directly to from the comments. Creators are learning search-engine optimization strategy because the app is prioritizing videos for monetization that are longer and follow common SEO practices (this is to compete with YouTube - TikTok wants more long videos and streaming to make it more like YouTube, and YouTube bolstered YouTube shorts to make it more like TikTok).

4) Creators of all kinds - for fun, for education, for anything, who may have written on a blog in the past are turning to making SEO-friendly video on any of these platforms, also, because Google (and the social platforms that used to bring click traffic like Twitter and Facebook) are so broken that they can’t reach people easily (nor sustainably) that way. That goes for everyone from journalists to food bloggers. So which platform are you gonna use? Google, where your results are AI generated or sponsored garbage you can barely trust or that it’s hard to parse, or TikTok, where sure there’s some sponsored stuff but it clearly says when it is (bc legally, influencers HAVE to), and there’s a person’s face giving you advice?

It’s a similar principle to why Reddit has always been a better place for answers when searching than whatever you find on Google - you have real people (or at least the semblance of real people) giving you personal advice, that is informally peer reviewed through comments, thread replies, etc.

5) As we know, Gen Z and younger are not being taught computing skills. I’m a millennial. I was TAUGHT how to use a search engine. I was TAUGHT how to use a database. Many younger people, now even adults, were not only not taught because older generations assumed they’d just pick it up, but the platforms and devices they grew up using actively DISCOURAGE developing the skills to figure it out.

By the sheer fact that I am a millennial who grew up with a new device and platform almost every year, my brain is wired to figure out change with technology. But a lot of younger people grew up with the same platforms, now firmly entrenched, that do not want the user to leave to use google or click a link to someone’s website, because that’s less ad revenue, so they’ve created user interfaces and experiences that discourage leaving the platform, and discourage creators from leading people off of it for additional info.

Schools in a lot of countries, especially the US where they are underfunded, are leaning on tablets instead of full computers, where your only access to the internet is limited to curated app experiences, and discouraged from exploration on the wider internet because it is “bad and unsafe.” If you’re actively prevented from Googling, or never taught, or have apps that provide the info instead, why would you ever do it? How would you learn?

This is not to say that TikTok is good or perfect or the things found there are always accurate or people aren’t responsible for their own ongoing education sometimes. But we shouldn’t be surprised at any of this. It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if all of this wasn’t to sell us more shit, either. But it’s always to sell us more shit - whether on Google or Tiktok.

Also this is ironic given the original post is a screenshot of a tweet from Pop Base, an engagement farm account that basically steals headlines from real outlets and takes all the engagement, not linking to any original reporting or even the source sometimes. It’s literally a part of what created this problem.

[ID: A tweet by Popbase that reads, "Nearly half of Gen Z is using TikTok and Instagram as a search engine instead of Google, new data shows.". Below the tweet is a pic of a poorly drawn Goomba from Super Mario Bros with text below him that reads "are you out of your fucking mind".]

How To Run TikTok Ads For Your Shopify Store Wisely?

This 6-step guide is the ultimate roadmap to running TikTok ads effectively for your Shopify store. If you're serious about boosting conversions with TikTok ads for your Shopify products, stick with it till the end.

Step 1: Create a new campaign

I find starting a TikTok Ads campaign pretty easy. You just go to TikTok For Business using this link: Advertising on TikTok | TikTok Ads. However, making sure your Shopify products match well with the campaign requires a good understanding of all the campaign components.

These techniques will give you clear steps to create and launch a TikTok advertising campaign tailored for Shopify products.

Step 2: Determine your ad objective

Not all the advertising goals you find on TikTok are a good fit for the products you're selling. What really matters is how well they work for Shopify products. Based on my experience in optimizing ads for online stores, I suggest focusing on just three main goals:

Traffic: If you've got a Shopify store set up with products ready to go, you want to drive more people to your website. Increasing website traffic is a smart way to get more customers interested in buying what you offer.

Conversions: This is the top pick for advertising products online. With advancements in AI, TikTok can help you target and show ads to people who are most likely to make a purchase.

Brand awareness: When selling products on Shopify, it's crucial that your audience understands your brand and sees it positively. When customers know your brand, they're more likely to choose your products when making a purchase.

Step 3: Choose the right ad format

Unlike the Ad Objective, the Ad Format determines how your ads will look to TikTok users. Here are five types of ads that I highly recommend, especially for Shopify and other e-commerce websites:

In-feed ads: These are video ads that pop up while users scroll through their "For You" feed. They grab attention with creative and interesting video content.

TopView ads: These video ads are the first thing users see when they open the TikTok app. They make a strong impression and instantly capture the user's attention.

Branded hashtag challenge: This involves encouraging users to create TikTok videos using specific hashtags provided by your brand. It's great for boosting brand awareness and reaching a large audience.

Branded effect: These are augmented reality (AR) effects or filters created by your brand for users to use in their TikTok videos. They promote interaction and catch users' attention.

Spark ads: These ads leverage TikTok videos created by other users to promote your brand's products or services. It helps build trust and engages users through user-generated content.

Step 4: Research viral ad content on TikTok

It's crucial to keep an eye on trending content when you're running TikTok ads. Why? Because if your videos aren't trending, they won't be very effective.

What exactly is trending advertising content? It's content that's getting a lot of attention from TikTok users. If your content is trending, it'll have lots of interactions, views, and maybe even some impressive growth metrics.

You can check out the TikTok Creative Center to discover new trending content in your country. It also suggests popular hashtags for you to use.

So, it's important to stay updated on trending content, see what interests TikTok users, and then try to create your own trending content.

Step 5: Explore untapped content that can be trending

When you're looking for fresh content, it means you're also checking out what your competitors are up to, as I mentioned earlier but want to emphasize. This is because when you're running Google Ads, you might hit roadblocks and run out of ideas.

During those times, it's helpful to look at what's working well on TikTok. That's where the TikTok Creative Center comes in handy. It's a free tool TikTok offers to advertisers and content creators on the platform.

Step 6: Adhere to TikTok Ads Policies

Following TikTok Ads Policies ensures your Google Ads run smoothly, without errors, and leads to better conversions.

Just imagine if your TikTok Ads account gets suspended for violating their policies. Starting from scratch would be a huge setback.

That's why I recommend going for a TikTok agency account for rent from GDT Agency. Many businesses and advertisers use this solution to scale their ads and overcome bans and restrictions on the platform.

With a TikTok Agency Account, you can advertise with unlimited features.

You won't have trouble using a large budget or scaling your TikTok Ads. Plus, we always offer incentives for new customers. Feel free to reach out to us for immediate support.

In today's digital era, social media has made it possible for a business to interact with their followers & customers like never before! A potent tool to constantly update the followers about the latest news regarding your business, social media has made it possible to reach thousands of people easily using proper strategies.

Whether it's a new product launch, an exciting collaboration, or even a giveaway, it acts as an essential tool for building & nurturing brand-customer relationships and also marketing your goods & services to a targeted set of audience. Let's learn more about how to use social media in building and maintaining relationships with customers.

Role of Social Media in Building Customer Relationships

Social media has tremendously transformed the way businesses engage with their audience. Gone are the days when you had to wait for days for a reply from a brand. Nowadays, anyone can directly reach out to any brand and get their queries resolved instantly. Let's explore how brands are leveraging the power of social media to improve Customer Relationship Management aka CRM.

Continuous Communication: One of the key aspects of social media is the ability to interact with the audience on a more personal level and that too quickly. It has opened a direct channel of communication, making it easier to educate customers about their deals, services, and offers or even solve issues such as delayed shipment, product replacement, etc.

A lot of brands have also set up automated message bots so that no message in the DMs goes unanswered.

Suggestions Taken Seriously: Since anyone can reach out to the brand directly, it has become easier for any customer to give their feedback to a brand- whether it's regarding a product, service, or general feedback regarding something.

For example, a customer seeking to buy hair care products specifically for Alopecia, can reach out to their go-to hair care brand and suggest it directly. Not only that, consumers are becoming more aware of what they want (or don't want) in their products and are constantly reaching out to brands with their suggestions on how to improve their products or how to make them more inclusive!

Easy Sharing And Collaborating: Since social media has made it possible to share anything within seconds, it makes a consumer feel special when brands share/repost their posts and reels to their official social media accounts. After all, who doesn't want to grab the attention of a brand and potentially reach a wider set of audience?!

Another option is to do a collaborative post that appears on both the creators as well as the brand's page- benefiting both parties at once.

Easy Selling And Visibility: A lot of social media platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram have enabled the 'shop' option where the (potential) customer can easily shop for what they're looking for, without leaving the app to complete their purchases.

It has not only improved the shopping experience but has given a platform to an array of small businesses that might've been struggling to find the right set of audience.

As a result, more brands are gaining visibility and finding new customers.

Exclusive Offers: The idea of 'exclusivity' always seems alluring. Interactive ideas such as offering an exclusive discount to the 'first ten commentators' on a social blog post or offering an additional discount if you 'share the post of your story' etc. will encourage the followers to partake in your brand's activities and also improve the overall engagement.

Interact More: Whenever you're talking to a customer, be it privately or in the comment section, make sure to 'personalise' the message; use their name as it makes them feel special and doesn't feel like a robotic automated reply. Using relevant emojis also helps deliver the right tone of the message and keeps the conversation lighthearted.

Whether you're a brand or an established business, harness the power of social media to build a more personal relationship with your customers as it will help benefit your business in the long run.

Another option is to do a collaborative post that appears on both the creators as well as the brand's page- benefiting both parties at once.

Easy Selling And Visibility: A lot of social media platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram have enabled the 'shop' option where the (potential) customer can easily shop for what they're looking for, without leaving the app to complete their purchases. 

It has not only improved the shopping experience but has given a platform to an array of small businesses that might've been struggling to find the right set of audience. 

As a result, more brands are gaining visibility and finding new customers.

Exclusive Offers: The idea of 'exclusivity' always seems alluring. Interactive ideas such as offering an exclusive discount to the 'first ten commentators' on a social blog post or offering an additional discount if you 'share the post of your story' etc. will encourage the followers to partake in your brand's activities and also improve the overall engagement.

Interact More: Whenever you're talking to a customer, be it privately or in the comment section, make sure to 'personalise' the message; use their name as it makes them feel special and doesn't feel like a robotic automated reply. Using relevant emojis also helps deliver the right tone of the message and keeps the conversation lighthearted.

Whether you're a brand or an established business, harness the power of social media to build a more personal relationship with your customers as it will help benefit your business in the long run.

Going live on TikTok is not just about randomly hitting the "Go Live" button. To make the most out of your live session, it's essential to plan:

Choose a specific time and date for your live session. This allows you to promote it in advance and ensure your followers know when to tune in.

Prepare the content you want to share during the live session. It could be a Q&A session, a tutorial, a behind-the-scenes look, or simply you showcasing your talent.

Make sure you have a stable internet connection. A weak or unstable connection can disrupt your live session and frustrate viewers.

Promote Your Live Session

Tap on the "+" button to create a new video.

Swipe left to access the "LIVE" option.

Add a catchy title to your live session. It should be engaging and give viewers a reason to join.

Tap the "Go Live" button, and you're on air!

Engage with Your Viewers

Engaging with your viewers is crucial during your live session to make it an interactive experience. Here are some tips:

Greet viewers by name: Welcome your viewers personally as they join your live session. Mention their usernames to create a sense of connection.

Read and respond to comments: Encourage viewers to ask questions or leave comments and respond in real-time. This creates a dynamic and engaging atmosphere.

Use TikTok's interactive features: You can use features like "Gifts" and "Stickers" to interact with your viewers. Viewers can send virtual gifts as a token of appreciation, and you can thank them for their support.

Showcase your talent or content: Remember the primary purpose of your live session. Whether you're a musician, a chef, a dancer, or a comedian, showcase your talent and provide value to your audience.

Wrap Up Your Live Session

When it's time to end your live session, don't just abruptly stop the broadcast. Follow these steps:

Thank your viewers for joining. Express your gratitude for their time and participation.

Promote future live sessions: Let your viewers know when they can expect your next live session, creating anticipation for the future.

Save your live video: TikTok allows you to save your live video to your profile, so viewers who missed it can watch it later.

Analyze and Improve

After your live session, take some time to analyze its performance:

Review viewer comments and feedback: Understand what worked well and what could be improved in your next live session.

Analyze your viewer count: Pay attention to when your live session had the highest number of viewers. This can help you choose the optimal times for future broadcasts.

What is Electronic Marketing?

Electronic marketing [or e-marketing], also known as digital marketing, is a strategic approach to promoting products or services using digital channels such as the internet, mobile devices, social media, search engines, email and others. 

It involves leveraging various digital technologies and platforms to reach a wider audience, targeted audience, build brand awareness, drive traffic, generate leads, and sales.

In today's digital age, electronic marketing has become an essential component of any successful business strategy. 

With the increasing reliance on technology and the internet, companies need to adapt and embrace digital marketing to stay competitive in the market.

Let's go deeper to provide you with more details. 

Electronic Marketing: 

There are several key components of electronic marketing that work together to achieve the desired results: 

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO): 

SEO is the process of optimizing a website's content and structure to rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs). 

By improving your website's visibility on search engines like Google, you can attract more organic traffic and increase your chances of reaching potential customers.

“Whether you are a business owner, marketer, or content creator, investing time in learning SEO can help you achieve your online goals and improve the performance of your website” – Semrush

2. Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising: 

PPC advertising allows businesses to display ads on search engine results pages or other websites and pay only when a user clicks on their ad. 

This method provides immediate visibility and can be highly targeted, allowing businesses to reach their desired audience effectively.

“If you’re working hard on SEO, but are still looking for an extra boost, consider PPC advertising” – HubSpot

3. Social Media Marketing: 

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube offer a unique opportunity for businesses to connect and engage with their target audience. 

Through strategic content creation, community management, and paid advertising, businesses can build brand loyalty, drive website traffic, and generate leads and sales.

Do you know? - As per the Meltwater’s Digital 2023 April Global Statshot Report, internet users from across the world spend time on social media with an average daily time of 2 hours and 24 minutes.

“A very significant 89% of marketers use Facebook (followed by Instagram at 80%). Forty-five percent of marketers claim Facebook is their most important social platform” – 2023 Social Media Marketing Industry Report

4. Content Marketing: 

Content is king in the digital world. 

Creating valuable and relevant content that educates or entertains your audience can help build trust, establish thought leadership, and drive organic traffic to your website. 

Content marketing includes blogging, e-books, videos [vlogs], podcasts, infographics, email newsletters, and more.

“Content marketing is one of the best investments your business can make because a successful content hub is a gift that keeps giving” – Search Engine Land

5. Email Marketing: 

Email marketing is a powerful channel for nurturing leads and maintaining customer relationships. 

By sending personalized and targeted emails to your subscribers, you can promote your products or services, provide valuable information, and drive conversions.

"Since relevance is the name of the game in email marketing, making sure you’re sending content that is valuable to your subscribers is extremely important" - The DailyZoo Newsletter

6. Mobile Marketing: 

With the increasing use of smartphones, mobile marketing has gained significant importance. 

It involves optimizing websites for mobile devices, creating mobile apps, and leveraging SMS or MMS marketing to reach consumers on their mobile devices.

“As per the Meltwater’s Digital 2023 April Global Statshot Report, the share of web traffic by devices is as follows: mobile phones (57.16%), laptops and desktop computers (40.79%), and tablets (2.02%)”

7. Analytics and Reporting: 

To measure the effectiveness of your electronic marketing efforts, it's crucial to track and analyze key metrics using tools like Google Analytics and other analytics tools. 

By understanding user behavior, conversion rates, and other data points, you can make data-driven decisions to optimize your marketing campaigns further.

e-marketing offers numerous benefits for businesses of all sizes. It provides a cost-effective way to reach a wider audience compared to traditional marketing methods. 

It allows for precise targeting and personalization, ensuring that your message reaches the right people at the right time. 

It also provides real-time feedback and insights that enable businesses to make data-driven decisions for continuous improvement.

Types of Marketing Campaigns: 

“We’re going to move into a territory where automation, machine learning, and artificial intelligence will prevail over the rest, seeking maximum personalization in ads” - Elena Ferreras, Wink [Channable Email]

In conclusion, electronic marketing is a comprehensive strategy that leverages various digital channels to promote products or services effectively. 

By combining SEO, PPC advertising, social media marketing, content marketing, email marketing, mobile marketing, and analytics, businesses can achieve their marketing goals in today's digital landscape, though all marketing channels are not necessary for every business.

Will TikTok take over Amazon with its 20 billion dollar investment?

Social media has been on the rise in recent years and advertisers, brands, and direct markers have jumped on the trend in order to make their sales numbers grow. With direct sales on platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and even Instagram, it makes sense that TikTok will also follow suit. With the sheer number of users on the popular content creator-driven site, TikTok is perfectly positioned to overtake big names such as eBay and Amazon with ease.

Is TikTok more than just A video reel platform?

When you think of TikTok, chances are that you think about people giving speed reviews of “hyped” up products. Or, more often than not, the image of people performing trendy dances in odd locations comes to mind. Whatever the case may be, TikTok is primed to become one of the biggest eCommerce players in the market within the next few years. It is already popular for its short-form videos and lately, the platform has given users the option to make purchases directly within the app. The TikTok shopping feature has been around since the end of 2021 and has been growing in popularity and functionality ever since. Though only available in limited countries right now, brands and content creators alike are making the most of this lucrative opportunity. Content creators and brands are able to market and sell products directly to consumers via live streams on the platform or through dedicated product pages within the app itself.

Boosting investment to drive growth

The owners of the social media platform understand the power it holds and are looking to capitalize on it while they can. In recent news, TikTok has declared that it will invest a whopping $20 billion dollars into its in-app shopping features. The investments will be spread out over a period of three years and will involve everything from app development, marketing, and eCommerce integration. This investment is a sure sign that TikTok understands the value of its user base and plans to use those numbers to strike while the iron is hot. With this investment, the platform is also sending a clear signal to the industry's bigger players that they are here to stay in the eCommerce industry.

This rapid growth of TikTok shopping

TikTok is a sensation in the US with millions of users, however, the company is owned by ByteDance Ltd, which is Chinese. They are using their ingenuity, and their massive user base to change the way that online shopping works over social media. In addition to the West, the app has risen in popularity in South Asia as well. In fact, the TikTok shop in the app has become one of the most used sources for online shopping falling just behind Facebook. With its rise in popularity and its easy functionality, traditional online shopping is in for a rude awakening. Amazon in particular is set to be upended as TikTok’s rise continues along its current growth arc.

Is Amazon really at risk of being toppled by TikTok?

Amazon shopping has been the go-to option for anyone searching for goods online. From obscure dog treats and vintage wigs to popular gaming consoles like the PS5 and Celebrity makeup lines like Haus Labs. While Amazon is still the leading online retailer, TikTok has several key advantages that can unseat the retailer from its current position. To start, TikTok has a massive user base topping more than a billion users from all over the world. Another advantage is that the majority of the users are younger, and also earn from the platform itself. This not only gives TikTok a large pool of consumers, but it also puts them in a position to generate earnings and encourage spending all within the platform itself. There is more to TikTok than simply shopping, the platform itself is user-friendly and highly engaging. People who use TikTok have the option of watching entertaining creator-generated videos, interacting with brands and influencers showing products, and even participating in live demos within the app. It is also fun to use unlike the straightforward shopping experience found on big retailer sites like Amazon. Another benefit TikTok has over Amazon is that it has become one of the leading social media sites that dictate trends. The algorithm on TikTok keeps new products and ideas in front of users' eyes and rotates on a regular basis. The prediction model is highly advanced which not only helps to predict trends but also to form them. Thanks to this predictive model, advertising and encouraging sales are much easier on TikTok.

Seamless shopping on the TikTok shop

When shopping online is efficient, consumers are more likely to spend more. With the TikTok Shop, e-commerce has moved away from the traditional model and leveled up the experience as a whole. Social elements are seamlessly integrated into the shopping experience in a way that makes purchasing goods entertaining and simple. In fact, users can watch a creator demo a product and make a purchase of that same product without ever leaving TikTok. Not only does this encourage users to stay on the platform, but it also makes impulse purchases easier to complete. With immersive interaction with the brand and creators, consumers feel more connected and end up buying more products they viewed on the platform.

What TikTok has to offer to small businesses

Small businesses have a lot to gain from the unique opportunities offered by the TikTok Shop. Entering the market is easy and this, no matter what the size of a business happens to be, it is possible to showcase products. There are so many users on the platform that it is easy to connect with a target niche. For startups and smaller Indie brands, this levels the playing field and takes the pressure of marketing against established players off the little guys. Also, it provides ample opportunity for lesser-known brands to gain traction in a competitive market.

Upcoming news for TikTok shop

Though the TikTok Shop has been doing well and has plenty of investment in planning, the platform is still in the early stages of building an eCommerce empire. The potential and the market traction exist that will allow them to overcome the current challenges they are facing. One of the biggest issues is making it easier for consumers to find the products they are looking for in fewer clicks. Right now, it is not easy to find reviews, compare prices, or even browse products on the platform. Users can easily purchase a product from a live demo or creator video, but searching for a video is harder. Trust is another aspect that needs to be developed. There are a lot of great brands on the platform, but there are also plenty of scams. Many users are hesitant to dive headlong into the TikTok Shop since it is not always easy to determine the authenticity of the products sold. Once more quality assurance is introduced, more trust will be built which in turn will help with eCommerce growth. Expanding its TikTok Shop offerings to other countries is another step that will help grow its influence. Investing in the shopping feature and making it more user-friendly will also help the platform garner more shoppers. Parting with brands and creators is common, but not on as large of a scale as found on other platforms. This could also be a key to long-term growth.

The final word

With so many people using TikTok, the TikTok Shop is set to be a true threat to Amazon in the coming years. There are plenty of advantages that make the app worth using for brand building, and these advantages in turn will make TikTok Shop a major eCommerce player. Exciting changes are still to come.

What is TikTok?

TikTok is a messaging app with a vast user base of over 200 million people. It is popular for making short, mobile videos that can be shared with friends and family. These videos can be edited and shared again, creating a community of TikTok users who create and share unique content. Because TikTok videos are so short, they are great for engaging with customers on a personal level. Brands can use TikTok influencers to create original content that caters to the app’s audience. Influencers can help promote your brand by promoting your products or services in their own unique way. To find an influencer for your brand, start by searching for keywords related to your product or service. Next, research the influencers’ bios and look for connections to other brands or industries. Finally, contact the influencers directly to see if they would be interested in partnering with you on a project

How to find TikTok influencers for your brand

If you are looking to get your brand’s message out there through the popular social media app TikTok, then you will need to find the right influencers. And luckily, there is a lot you can do to find them. There are a few things you should keep in mind when looking for influencers. First, make sure that your target demographic is included in the list of potential influencers. This means that if you are looking for a female influencer, make sure that all of the females who have millions of followers on TikTok are included in your search. Second, be sure to look for creators who have a high level of engagement with their followers. This means that they post regularly and generate a lot of comments and likes from their audience. Finally, be sure to consider payment when searching for TikTok influencers. Many creators receive payments in return for promoting brands or products on their channels.

There's also the option to bid on certain keywords and get your influencers to share your video with their followers. Here are some tips on how to pay TikTok influencers: 1. Determine what type of payment you want to use. You can offer cash payments, gift cards, or other types of rewards like travel or merchandise. 2. Create a payment plan that makes sense for both you and the influencer. If they're only able to endorse your product for a short period of time, try offering smaller payments over a longer period of time rather than one large payment up front. 3. Communicate clearly and concisely about the payment negotiations and expectations from both sides. Make sure to list any conditions that must be met before payment is given (such as minimum views), and be sure to keep track of how many views the video has received so far in order to calculate royalties accordingly. 4.
