TikTok is the most popular Social Media app of the moment and is the entertainment capital of the world. Being #1 in the world has a lot of perks, especially when it comes to branding and marketing. TikTok’s rise to fame was unexpected, and despite recent attempts to ban it in the US, its momentum keeps gaining. 

TikTok has become so influential that it is now being used as a sales and advertising channel. While TikTok has yet to establish in-stream shopping as a major trend in the West, its meteoric rise has led to other shifts. If you are looking for a place to start growing online, then TikTok is a solid bet. However, you’ll need to learn from those who have cracked the code if you want to succeed. TikTok’s algorithms are some of the best to ever exist. Here are 31 TikTok influencers who have milked the algorithm for all it has to offer.

The Wrap

While virality is one thing, it is not everything. On the internet, a day is enough to make a difference; you can be famous and have millions of viewers today, but have zero the day after. What TikTok tries to teach us here is that more than building a huge follower base is to maintain it. It is not enough to just get eyeballs. What is more important is how you keep your audience engaged and coming back for more. The people on this list are prime examples of such. Look at what works for these TikTok influencers and try to incorporate the same elements into your approach. While you’ll have to build the clout they have amassed over time, getting the winning formula gives you an advantage over the majority of your would-be competition.
