Greetings, fellow TikTok rebels! Are you ready to transform your mundane TikToks into viral masterpieces before the government plays party pooper? As the clock ticks away and the government's menacing shadow looms over our beloved app, we bring you a thrilling guide to make your mark on the TikTok world before the fun police shut down the party. It quite honestly could be your last chance to shine— so brace yourselves and buckle up as we take you on a wild ride to make the most of your potentially withering time on TikTok. Let's dive into the ultimate adventure and conquer TikTok— one viral video at a time, or at least, one really well made TikTok at a time. (We can’t promise you’ll go viral — people are weird and unpredictable, but we’ve got the tools for ya!)

CapCut is God

That's right, we said it: God. The almighty. The big guy. The one who runs the show. The coal that makes the TikTok engine roll. CapCut makes it possible for novice TikTok-ers to blow up and go viral.

Let us explain: CapCut is an easy to use editing app that is changing the TikTok game. With its engaging and on-trend templates and editing prowess, CapCut's like your personal fairy godmother— bibbidi-bobbidi-boo-ing your videos to algorithmic greatness. If you’re new to CapCut, we recommend downloading it immediately and jumping in to see what there is to see. The longer you play, the faster you’ll find your groove.

CapCut Video Editing: Chop Chop, the Fast Track to Stardom

Editing videos, especially when you don’t know much about editing at all, can be a huge roadblock. You might have an idea of how you’d like something to look but actually have no idea of how to make it happen. That’s where CapCut's video editing saves the day. It literally helps creators slice and dice videos in no time. Stop wasting your precious energy trying to be an editing guru and jump into CapCut instead.

You’re welcome.

CapCut Templates: The Elixir of Algorithmic Love

CapCut not only slays the game with its editing goods, but the templates are also where it’s at. ‘Cause let's be honest: templates make life easier. For real. If you want the TikTok algorithm to fall head over heels for your content, use CapCut templates. Chances are that your favorite TikTok creator already is. CapCut’s templates are a quick and easy way to produce quality videos that make the algorithm go, “Dang! We like-y!” 

Less time spinning your wheels, reaching for creative juices = more time spent creating killer content that the internet can’t wait to gobble up.

Trending Sounds: The Siren Song of Exposure

If you want to woo the TikTok crowd, serenade them with the sweet, sweet tunes of trending sounds. It's like a cheat code to hack your way into TikTok fame. So go on, shamelessly exploit those overused bops, and watch your videos bask in the adoration of the TikTok masses. After all, who needs originality when you can just piggyback on what's already hot, amirite?

Yikes. It kind of hurts to say that, but it’s true.


While we here at Helix House recommend maintaining complete authenticity within all creative endeavors, hopping on trending and saturated tunes really does work on TikTok. So if you hear a song on a video that’s doing well (and makes sense for your niche), hop on that bandwagon and use it too. Utilizing what’s viral will draw your audience to your content like moths to a flame— amplifying your chances of TikTok sickness.

Niche Trends: A Match Made in TikTok Heaven

Marry your niche to the latest trends, and you've got a winning formula. By adapting popular trends to your specific niche, you'll create a harmonious union that'll have the TikTok world RSVP-ing to your content. Keep up with current trends and hop on ASAP! Being fashionably early to the trend party means more eyeballs on your content, skyrocketing your chances of TikTok stardom.

Caption Keywords

Want to know the secret handshake to get into TikTok's exclusive club? Use keywords in your closed captions. This nifty trick helps your content get noticed by the right audience, opening the doors to TikTok fame. 

TikTok Text

TikTok is a jealous lover, and adding text from other apps will only make it pout. Stick to using TikTok's in-app text editor to keep the algorithm happy and showering your content with love.

Hashtag Sorcery

The final ingredient in your TikTok success potion? Research and utilize trending hashtags related to your niche. These magical tags will work like a charm, drawing in your target audience and catapulting your content to greatness.
