WHAT Captions Are:
As a quick reminder, captions transcribe the words spoken in your video & display them at the bottom of the screen.
By showing the dialogue in your TikTok video through written text, the people who watch your videos can understand what is happening – regardless of whether they have their sound on or have hearing impairments.
WHY CAPTIONS ARE IMPORTANT:
Almost 80% of viewers watch videos without sound, so captions can play a key component in engaging with these users.
When you share content on TikTok, the main idea is to allow anyone in the world to enjoy it.
Improve Brand Reach on TikTok: The TT algorithm 'rewards' videos that have captions w/ increased reach
Increase Engagement: If you don’t include captions, people may not be able to watch your videos & will likely just keep scrolling to the next one
When Sound is Off: If the user's sound is off on their device, they are still able to receive your brand message b/c there are captions on the screen
Aside from the video content, itself, there is a lot of powerful value held in the CAPTIONS of TikTok. Whether it’s a short & sweet caption pairing, a noteworthy call-to-action, or an educational opportunity… the captions can be a powerful asset in the content creator toolbelt!
P.S. Reminder: Another element of captions that can help boost visibility and expand your reach is HASHTAGS! Head on over to TikTok Tip #2 to learn how hashtags in captions are the cherry on top of the sundae!
