What you need to know about TikTok

TikTok is the shiny new social media platform on the scene. Founded by billionaire Zhang Yiming, and owned by Beijing tech conglomerate ByteDance, TikTok lets you watch, create, and share videos easily on your phone. It’s funny, sometimes cringe-worthy, and proven addictive. [I often find myself having this sudden urge to dance when a song that’s trending on TikTok is played on the radio.]

The rise of TikTok has made us ponder some valid questions:

  • Is TikTok only for kids?

  • Will TikTok replace Instagram?

  • Is TikTok safe?

  • Is it worth my business having a presence on TikTok?

  • And how does TikTok work?

Read on to find out what you need to know about the new kid on the social media block.
