How long do tiktoks go viral. 3 Thing TikTok algorithm cares about. Campaigns that managed to go viral due to social influence include the MeToo movement the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and Blackout Tuesday. YES I KNOW IM ADDICTED TO TIKTOK WHO ISNT LOL.
Total likes is now 263565. The viral TikToks we have made have also made a big impact on our other social accounts. I joined TikTok two months prior to going viral for research.
So while its better to perfect the art of an engaging 30 or 60-second piece if you can make a bunch of cant-look-away five-second pieces you can still go viral. Youre more likely to have people watch 8 seconds of a 10-second video than 48 seconds of a minute-long one. More recently things have slowed down with fewer TikToks going viral.
I spoke with several viral TikTokers to bring you an exclusive look into what its like going viral on TikTok and how long it takes. Thats why it might not be the best idea to make a 30 45-second video when most TikToks are under 10 seconds. That means people can watch a lot of content in a small amount of time.
12 months ago brand new accounts could smash out viral TikToks and almost guarantee which ones would take fire. This timing could be 48-hours after posting or weeks later there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Spend at least 15 - 20 minutes on the FYP and keep a close eye on sounds and hashtags that show up repeatedly.
Consumers have an attention span of 8 seconds which is why short TikToks are more successful. Youll find that videos on TikTok are short and they need to be under sixty seconds. I still see five-second-long TikToks on my FYP all the time.
