Product placement

TikTok: ACTS - it is the platform where the video is posted and where the features discussed are used. Removing it would change the video. It is the substrate for the content. Stan Store: APPEARS - it is the creator's bio link, which is not directly used or promoted within the video content itself. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Transcript

TikTok just gave us a cheat code, and if you're not using it today, you are already behind. Here's what you're going to do. Hit the plus sign at the bottom of the screen. Slide over to the text option. Don't ever think this part, just write one or two simple lines. Maybe it's, hey, where's everyone going this summer? Where's your next vacation? Just keep it casual and keep it real. Then hit next. TikTok is going to turn it into different styles automatically. Pick the one that you like best and keep moving. Don't spend 20 minutes deciding which style that you like. Now, add a sound. You can pick one yourself or just let TikTok help you. Then here's the important part. Post it to your story, not your feed. Stories are getting pushed really hard right now, and most creators are honestly still not using them. So you're combining a newer feature and something that TikTok is already promoting. That's extra visibility. And it's from something that takes less than a minute to make. I've been telling you guys this for weeks. The creators who move on this first usually get rewarded first. So stop waiting and try it today. And also, if you are serious about growing, make sure you follow me because I post tips like this every single day.
