How I’m Building This TikTok Account (1.2M)

[@Siabeysment]

“Don’t copy. Create.” It’s so refreshing to hear that. Other tik tok gurus keep saying the opposite

[@TheJosephTodd]

Thanks, brother! It's so true though. Replication as a strategy only lasts in the short term.

[@SebastiaanVaz]

As a starting TikTok creator this video brought a TONNE of value to me. Thank you so much!

[@Verlassis]

I love how transparent your content is, Joseph. Thank you.

[@TheJosephTodd]

For sure, Andrew! Hope all is well with you. ✌️

[@sergeikrupnik4891]

Hi, Joseph! Thanks for your videos. I started working on my TikTok 4 months ago and now I have almost 300k subscribers (Russian language). This is mostly because of your advices! Thank you very much 👍

[@JimleeHonkoop]

Love this video, full of good ideas and best practices

[@travisatlas]

❤️ Brilliant as Always . Thanks Joseph ! : ) ☺️🙏

[@thabopitsoo]

Even if my page has a theme page type of feel at some point I also want to ingratiate myself into my account so it’s almost a mix of me & the other things I post so it adds that personal factor.

[@ChrisQuitsReality]

Any advice on how to stop getting videos removed for "dangerous acts" my KZbin is literally doing little stunts in VR and Tiktok seems to hate it. I've already gotten temporarily banned 3 times in a week posting progressively less dangerous stunts and funny enough the most dangerous thing I have posted is doing great like wtf. I wouldn't mind having that "don't try at home" disclaimer put on like other videos I literally am a professional but I can't seem to find out how they decide which videos get it and which videos get dumped it's very frustrating. I feel like I can't post anything, my stunts are super tame compared to all the crazy stuff trending on the fyp but I get punished.

[@TheJosephTodd]

Hmm...that does sound frustrating. Honestly, I might take a hiatus from any content that you're fairly certain is going to get removed. I'm curious if these 'removals' have impacted views at all? Usually, account that deal with multiples videos taken down recently need a few weeks of no trouble to get back in TikTok's good graces. They tend to be a bit more lenient after that I find. I don't think it a bad idea to add a disclaimer, but I'd do it it text former or make it a fun intro to your dangerous acts series. :)

[@ChrisQuitsReality]

@@TheJosephTodd Hey thanks for getting back to me! Up to this point it hasn't appeared so they were all hitting the FYP and they would get stopped just as they were about to take. For example all 4 got removed somewhere in the first 4 hours and between 50k-100k views(one was restored after appeal 3 were not) If you watch the videos on the fyp page tiktok themselves adds a disclaimer to certain videos with dangerous stunts, they just don't disclose anywhere why some videos get it and some don't it's very frustrating. Other people also have the same clips from my channel posted on tiktok and they are fine, but when I post it myself it get's taken down I don't understand. I was walking on eggshells too and posting REALLY tame stuff and it still got taken down(waiting on appeal again)

[@Siabeysment]

Thank you Joseph! Tiktok Themes! Raza :)

Your videos are so God damn valuable man

[@TheRubenazo]

As a Tiktok Content Creator tiktok really needs to add more ways to monetize our content, right now it's reeeeally hard to even obtain something outisde of promos. Things like a donate button, subscription or something would make it a bit better.

[@The5thEmperorr]

Do affiliate marketing and try print on demand

[@camilla9008]

Please does anyone know if privating low performing videos affect the account authority? Not deleting, just privating.

[@mindsetzone4988]

What's up my guy! You arrived just in time. I run this main TikTok account but I'd like to create other theme pages, but I've had some issues I genuinely hope you can help me resolve. After uploading the very first video(s) of some pages, views remain to 0. Do I have to wait a certain amount of time when I create the account, before I upload the first video? Or should I just continually post for 2-3 weeks, as you recommend? Also, is running multiple theme accounts on the same phone bad? You'd make my day (and potentially my business) if you could answer haha. Greetings from Belgium, love your vids bro

[@davecirlclux]

TikTok flags duplicate videos. If the video isn't unique you wouldn't get views

[@DemoysView]

I started a TikTok less than 48 hours ago, going good so far

[@TheJosephTodd]

Nice! Best of luck

[@DemoysView]

@@TheJosephTodd thank you I use it to post clips from my second KZbin channel that I'm trying to grow

[@BoostedNPC]

Do you think 16x9 is ok for gaming content instead of cropping to 9x16

[@satisfyingstoriesdaily]

What's the editor you use to edit these clips? Or to download videos from anywhere

[@ReplayzenEspanol]

Hey Man, I had an account with 75K, over time it died (personal content.) I think I know the reasons why but I think I should create a New TikTok and post the best content without making mistakes like before. Should I do that or try to revive a complete dead tiktok?

[@ElJoshPaul]

Same thing I wanna know

[@DemoysView]

What caused the first one to die?

[@joshuapifer4035]

Thanks, Josh! I appreciate you stopping by. 👍

[@sKid-yn4no]

Hey Im sitting at 3.4k followers rn, I only upload like once every 2 days (sometimes 1 every week) though I definitely progressed I feel as if I could grow faster if I switched to a more casual approach where I do more quantity but less quality, what do you guys think!?!?

[@Music-rewind]

My account is a music themed account for about six months now my account blows up for a week sometimes I can get 3 or 4 thousand followers overnight the week after there is hardly no activity at all I can barely get a 100 in a day or two this keeps happening week after week any ideas why this is happening all the time? Can using the same hashtags a lot of the time in your videos been seen as spam? as I can’t think of any other reason 🤔 and I upload 3 or 4 times everyday?

[@josephwilliams6066]

"Don't copy. Create" If I download other people's content from TikTok and then gather it together and edit it to my "own" is it ok? Or it's still copying?

[@MakeItHackin]

Could you explain why uploading content from KZbin sources (like the soccer clips) is not 'copying?' Thank you!

[@TheJosephTodd]

All the edits in the soccer clips are original. We’re finding public footage, editing it to a beat, adding effects, and changing the sequence of clips. Copying content would be straight off ripping a video off of TikTok and reposting it on your own account without any changes.

[@MakeItHackin]

@@TheJosephTodd thank you!

[@MrJyKng]

Hey Joseph! Would love to do some green screen content and play a vid in the back, but won’t there be a copyright violation?

[@DougieDrives]

How did you find someone who helps you make the content? Upwork?

[@TheJosephTodd]

I’ve got a video coming out on this process on our advanced community, but to give you a sneak peak, it was actually someone who ran a smaller account in the same niche and I made him an offer.

[@TheJosephTodd]

There’s also a few communities I recommend as well for finding talent like this. Check out TikTok editing Facebook groups for starters.

Hey Joseph, great video, apologies can’t see link for master class, could you please provide. Cheers , JD 👊🥰

Hey Josh I know this is a repetitive question you probably get but At this point can i start from strach and get somehwere in tik tok?

How would you handle needing a phone number for these accounts? I'm curious. having trouble with multiple accounts.

[@TheJosephTodd]

This account is registered with email only. I do have two separate phone (numbers) that I use for my personal accounts.

[@reinasalti]

@@TheJosephTodd gotcha! I can't remember what having the phone number does exactly, so I was wondering if it could affect anything (like access to analytics or just simply security.) Initially, on one of accounts I couldn't send DMs but I guess you wouldn't do much chatting on these theme accounts haha.
