Your TikTok Marketing Project

Choose one audience, one useful promise and one measurable goal before you build your TikTok profile.

Start with a real problem

A useful account gives a particular person a reason to return. Pick a project you can actually work on: a local business, your professional expertise, a product you understand, or a creative portfolio. Write down what that audience is trying to achieve and what gets in its way.

For example, a small coffee shop might help nearby office workers find a good weekday lunch. Its content can show the lunch, explain when it is available, answer questions about ingredients, and make the visit easy. ‘Everyone who likes coffee’ is too broad to guide the next video.

Build a learning loop

Use the same project throughout this course. You will improve its profile, research audience questions, prepare content, review results and create a campaign plan. You can do the exercises without buying software or paying for ads.

Choose a primary goal that matters to your project. A creator might want relevant profile visits; a business might want qualified enquiries. Keep views as context rather than treating every view as a customer. Save a starting point, a review date and a short explanation of what success would look like.

Platform features change. The source links in each lesson provide a route to current documentation. Check availability in your own account before relying on a feature in a business plan.

Check your understanding

Could another person use your brief to decide whether a video belongs on the account? If the answer depends only on whether it might go viral, narrow the brief.
