Music on TikTok is a huge chapter.
The nature of the platform by itself
is coming out of the music industry.
So TikTok used to be musically,
that was the original lab.
And TikTok is actually musically 2.0,
but much more successful, of course,
some music is in the core DNA of the blood from it.
And that's why for the first time we see a blood
from using real songs,
songs that have been licensed
to be used from creators like
you and me at the same time is
an amazing opportunity for many songwriters,
artists, music productions to
get their songs, their music viral.
And we have thousands of
examples of songs becoming well-known,
becoming viral out of TikTok,
not out of YouTube or Spotify.
So how can you really use music for your own benefit?
First of all, I have to tell you that
I've seen many creators never using
any music track and still been great
being successful because they're great content creators.
They're putting great stuff
every single day out and the audience loves it.
Music is not something that we make you successful.
Huston's have not something that
we made you successful, know,
hog will make you successful,
but your own content and your unique values or creator.
Still, however, there are small things that can
really make our birthday cake more attractive.
So what I mean by this is that
our content and our consistency or
engagement with the platform is
a well-cooked cake with super ingredients.
And then music, hashtags,
little hints at just the declaration
to make the cake even sexier.
So the way that I approach the usage,
music in the blood form has three angles.
The first one is using music in
any other occasion that we're
dressing our video with a soundtrack.
So really solid track,
a tribe that really fits to the occasion,
fits to our content can really elevate
the entire video by saying that sometimes adjusts,
go with a truck that I really love and I believe
it fits my video terms of the base,
in terms of the duration
or even the emotion that I want to evoke.
So if I want to inspire people,
I will use an inspirational song.
And many times I want something that starts with a hook.
And because as we said before,
our interests on TikTok or supercritical,
I want the same feeling,
the same bid, the same kickoff in my truck as well.
So most of the times I would probably
ignore a song that has a slow start,
something that doesn't gain
your attention from the get-go.
The second way to use music is by understanding what
are the popular drugs at this right moment.
And the way to do that is this side to see how to
post something and use
an existing sound or create your own,
open a video or create one I will use
for the reference of this video and existing one.
So go back in my drafts.
This is the video that exists in my drafts.
And if I hit sounds here on the bottom left,
you're going to see that I have several options.
The first one, the default one,
is to use a recommended one,
which is actually the sounds I
use the most are the ones that are trending right now.
So if I click in the More button here on
the left with a search icon,
you can see that I have several options.
Some playlists like UK hot 50, TikTok, viral, whatever.
And then on the top you have discovered.
And four, you see all,
you see all the songs here that are
being popular by other creators.
You can choose any that you want like this, e.g.
squeak games popular now, the icon.
And then you can also trim
the song in order to start from the point that you want.
If not, you just leave it on the default setting.
Click here, and then move
on next in order to publish your video.
If you want to use a favorite sounds.
So the ones that you have bookmarked and other ones that
you prefer to use are the ones
that you love or you just love the sound.
You pick one from this tab here.
Favorites, you upload it,
and then you're good to go.
Also, it's important to play with the volume.
This is the original sound
of the video that you uploaded,
the one that I have in my drafts already.
And this is the added sound.
So the one, the music that I just posted, normally,
if I speak in the video,
I don't want it I don't want the sound to be
the main one of the video.
So I normally put it around five to seven per
cent so that it's like
a background noise and not the main focus of that.
If I have something that is only visual like
this funny video that I have created, e.g.
I. Can put it in 100 and have
it play in food volume in the video.
The third option that I have is go
to the voice-over function,
which is something actually that if you see
my TikTok page is something that I use all the time.
And it's something that really made me
popular about because I play with the colors of my voice,
so it makes it even more intense.
Try grab my mic.
When I have a finished video,
I click Record here and I start talking over the video.
I pose on every single frame that I
want to focus what exactly I'm going to say next.
Hit Record again to continue,
still talk over the video.
And if I make a mistake,
I go back here on the top or the bottom right,
and I go back to voice-over again, the same frame.
When I'm done, I hit Save.
The top right, click on the sounds.
I unmute the original video so that I have
the voice-over to be the dominant or sound hit Next.
And then I can either post or save the draft.
