Tiktok storytelling - a thread.
A Tiktok/reel may be a really short video format, but don’t forget to tell your story through them. Ppl buy into that.

There are trends, funny ones, reels/Tiktoks for entertainment purposes like dances
And then ones with the best hacks - short snapshot info that will change a person’s life, even in the smallest way - like how to make coffee.

I used to just put video clips together of a place I went to, add music and make it a Tiktok.
