Create Your Account

Traditionally, brands create a “brand page” on both Instagram and TikTok to post their own content. This works if you’re trying to build community and brand presence online, but, if you want to quickly convert users, you’l want to follow what we call the “incognito brand page” method. Essentially, this consists of accounts (seemingly unrelated to the brand) posting large volumes of content about the product itself.

First, you’ll want to actually create your TikTok account. This is super easy. Just download the app and create a new account.

FAQ: What if I’m not in the US?

When choosing a username, remember that we want these accounts to come off as organic as possible. This means there’s power in not even including the brand name in the username. Be creative! Relate it to the niche.

Following the AI note taking example and my target user, I’d create a username like @adrianna.studies

Next, choose a profile picture. Remember the goal of reaching your target audience. The profile picture should resemble what your target audience looks like so it feels more personable and trustworthy to them. Here’s an example of what I’d do for the AI Note Taker:

Finally, choose a bio. Your bio should quickly tell viewers what your account is about. You can choose to include the brand name, but keep in mind that content performs best when it feels organic. In many cases, leaving out the brand name helps the account feel more relatable and less like an ad.

Please note: best practices are to follow FTC (Federal Trade Commission) guidelines. This includes adding clear disclosure that the account is related to a company, including mentioning “[brand name] partner” in the bio.
