Can anybody help with this? I have now had three violations on TikTok lives which says I have violated TikTok shop policy. It states unoriginal or pre-recorded content. My content is not pre-recorded and doesn’t include any music or extract from anybody else’s content. I am literally just talking to the camera And not showcasing anything. The thing that is really confusing me is that it isn’t a TikTok shop live. I am not adding any products or showcasing any products. Is there a setting that I am missing? What is the difference between a normal TikTok live and a TikTok shop live? I have searched and searched and can’t find anything. I would really appreciate your help if I need to toggle something off or change a setting! i’m literally at my wits end! Thank you!

I've taken a brutally honest look at our own account that we're growing as a case study, to help you see how you should be looking at your own account. This is longer, more educational & I stutter a lot (sorry). Hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!

We're cooking up something to add so much more value to our communities. We're working on adding the following courses: ❗Account breakdowns: here we'll be looking at dozens of accounts, breaking them down, and providing a way to improve them and see a lot more growth. This should help you do the same! ❗Common problems: we're going to address every major problem content creators are having on TikTok at the moment and provide actionable solutions. ❗TikTok SEO: here we'll be teaching you all the crucial elements of TikTok SEO and how you can be using it to increase the visibility of your videos. ❗Analytics breakdown: how you should be looking at your analytics, and using this data to change your strategy going forward to see continued success. ❗TikTok strategy masterclass: whatever your goals are, we want to make it super clear how you should be making your TikTok strategy to make sure you see maximum growth. ❗Hooks explained: a behavioural science approach to TikTok. We'll teach you all the key principles you need to understand to get people watching your videos, following you and purchasing from you. We're talking several hours of content for these courses, so we're hoping they're going to be a lot of use to you guys. Now some of these will be exclusive to the paid community, but we'll let you know closer to the time. What do you guys think? Is there something more valuable you think we should be pushing more?

Okay so, getting views and likes is one thing, but getting people to FOLLOW is a totally different ball game. You want people to follow you because: - You might need a certain number to qualify for TikTok shop - Followers might be warm leads for your business - 1k followers lets you put a link in your bio - 10k followers lets you earn money from the creator fund - 10k followers also lets you optimise your profile in a better way - If people see you have followers, they're more likely to follow you (social proof bias) - Followers are more likely to engage with your content. If they engage, they will help push your videos out to a wider audience. Now, getting people to view and like a video can all be done through hooks and entertainment, which we'll cover in more detail. But to convert these views into followers, you need to: ⭐ ADD VALUE ⭐ Did they take something useful away from the video? Did they learn something? Did they finish the video feeling better off than they did before they watched it? That's really what you have to think about. Being entertaining is great, but if you're not adding value then there's no reason to for people to click that follow button. Adding value is totally different in every niche. You have to be creative with it and really know your audience, but there's always a way! ⭐ BE PREDICTABLE ⭐ When people click the follow button, this is them accepting that they are going to get shown your content almost every time they open the app. That's a big commitment when you think about it! So, if they know that the rest of your videos are going to cover a similar topic, and they enjoyed this video, then that's really easy for them to click that button. To be predictable you can literally just tell people what your channel is about. Often at the start of the video, explaining that your channel covers x topics might keep them around to that vid in the first place because it makes them think you're more of an authoritative voice on the topic.

To everyone who's new, you'll get the most value out of this community if you're sharing your aims, profile & what your current struggles are. Me & Ethan can give what advice we can, and other people in the community can share what worked for them in similar situations! Looking forward to chatting with you all.
