10 TikTok Marketing Tips. Tip #3 Personal or Pro Account?ExternalInbox




Bonding Time

My 2 sons (17/19), of course, have TikTok accounts.

The other day I asked my 17yo to help me find something on the TikTok app settings that I was looking for......We sat next to each other on the sofa, experiencing bonding time together!

However, after about 4 minutes of comparing the app on his phone and the app on my phone, I realized why he wasn't able to help me find what I was looking for....His app interface was NOT the same as mine.

My son uses the 'Personal Account' & I use the 'Pro Account' (business account)....Our 'bonding time' came to a quick end!

2 Levels

TikTok has 2 levels of account types: Personal & Pro.

Personal:

  • No analytics or insights & there is more access to music (b/c of copyright laws).

  • No advanced functionality.

Pro:

  • Pro account includes either a Business account or a Creator account

  • The Pro Level of TikTok gives access to analytics and insights. Ex. video view metrics, follower count, profile views, etc. - Some really useful data!

Within the Pro Level there are 2 Types: Business & Creator

Pro Business Account:

  • TikTok for business offers exclusive access to specialized resources that help businesses and brands up their strong content strategies.

  • Business accounts help connect with customers more efficiently and quickly than personal accounts.

  • This account focuses on advertising the company/brand image to help more people know about the company’s products or services

Pro Creator Account:

  • TikTok for creators allows users to have more creative space.

  • It has fewer options for advertising and marketing but still has all analytics and insights you might need.

  • One of the best features of a creator account is the creator fund and the question-and-answer upgrade, allowing for more personal interaction with followers
