Frequently Asked Questions

How long should TikTok captions be?

TikTok allows up to 2,200 characters, but the first 1-2 lines are most important since they appear before users click "more." Aim for 150-300 characters for maximum impact, with your hook in the first line.

What makes a TikTok caption go viral?

Viral captions typically have: (1) A strong hook that stops scrolling, (2) Clear value or entertainment, (3) A call-to-action that encourages engagement, (4) Relevant trending hashtags, and (5) Personality that resonates with the target audience.

How many hashtags should I use on TikTok?

Use 3-5 relevant hashtags for best results. Mix popular hashtags (#fyp, #foryou) with niche-specific tags. Avoid using too many hashtags as it can look spammy and dilute your message.

Should I use trending sounds or trending captions?

Both matter, but trending sounds typically have more algorithm weight. Pair trending sounds with engaging captions that add context or humor to maximize reach. The caption should complement the video, not repeat what's already shown.

Can I use the same caption for multiple videos?

While you can reuse caption templates, customize each one to match the specific video content. TikTok's algorithm may flag identical captions as spam. Always adjust hashtags and specific details for each post.

What's the best time to post on TikTok?

It depends on your audience, but generally: weekdays 6-10am and 7-11pm EST perform well. Check your TikTok Analytics to see when your specific followers are most active, then test posting times to find your sweet spot.
