TikTok for non Tiktokers: Ch 2. CREATE YOUR TIKTOK PRO ACCOUNT

When creating your account for TikTok, you should know that there are several types of accounts:

• Pro account: here, you will have two options to choose from:

a. Author: for content authors, public figures, artists and influencers.

b. Company: for brands, businesses, organizations and service providers.

We recommend choosing author because it will allow you to have access to all TikTok songs, but either of them will allow you to see your account statistics which is very important to analyze your videos and optimize your TikTok strategy.

• Personal Account: The personal account will not give you data to analyze and is not recommended if you want to use TikTok for your brand or business. It is ideal for those who want to use TikTok exclusively for their own interests or to consume content.

Below, we will explain how to have a TikTok account for personal profiles, brands, companies or businesses step by step:

STEP 1. Download the app on your cell phone. Search for it as TikTok in the Play Store or App Store.

STEP 2. Register in TikTok

a. You can use your email address, Facebook account, continue with Google, etc.
