   TikTokers use #xyzbca in hopes of getting more views of their videos. The letters themselves do not mean anything, but the hashtag is believed to boost visibility on the app, helping someone’s content reach a wider audience. Users often put #xyzbca in their captions because they think it will “trick” the algorithm into prioritizing their video so more people see it (and they can possibly go viral).

   • TikTok hasn’t publicly revealed how their algorithm curates content for the For You Page, so there’s no guarantee that using #xyzbca will help you gain more views. Most users think the app analyzes your likes and activity, then uses that information to recommend videos on the page.

   Create short, high-quality videos. TikTok rewards videos that users watch from start to finish, so aim to create content that’s quick, interesting, and engaging. Davis recommends “experimenting with different types of videos and topics” to grow your account. You could post a variety of videos to see what your audience reacts to best, then use that as a guide to inform your content decisions.

   • If you frequently add voice overs to your videos, you might want to invest in an external microphone that eliminates background noise.

   Stick to a consistent posting schedule. According to Davis, you can gain more traffic on TikTok by “posting daily.” Many people recommend posting 3 to 7 times a day, but it’s more important to “produce quality content over quantity.” If you’re serious about growing your account, consider switching to a TikTok pro account so you can analyze the times your followers are most active. The best times to post on TikTok in the United States (EST) are:

   • Monday: 12 PM and 4 PM
   • Tuesday: 4 AM, 8 AM, 10 AM, and 3 PM
   • Wednesday: 1 PM and 2 PM
   • Thursday: 5 AM, 3 PM, and 6 PM
   • Friday: 1 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, and 9 PM
   • Saturday: 5 PM
   • Sunday: 1 AM, 2 AM, 1 PM, 2 PM, and 10 PM

   Add trending sounds to your videos. Being up-to-date on the latest trends can increase your chances of being seen on TikTok. According to Davis, you can “play [trending songs] in the background of your videos, even if the sound is turned down.” That way, it “makes it easier for people to find your video.” Just be sure to include music that matches the vibe of your content and makes sense with your brand!

   • To find popular sounds, tap the “+” button on your FYP, then click “Add sound” at the top of the screen. Once a new page opens, click on the “TikTok Viral” playlist to see what songs are trending.

   Engage with your followers and other content creators. Davis advises to “comment on other creators’ videos and reply to comments in your comment section.” High engagement is the key to going viral on TikTok, and interacting with real users is one of the best ways to build a supportive following. Encourage your viewers to like, comment, save, or share your videos with friends, and do the same for other users you admire.

   • To engage with other TikTokers, you can also Duet or Stitch their videos, or message them to see if they’d be interested in collaborating with you.
