TikTok Marketing Ads: How it works

Now we are getting to the important stuff: How to advertise on TikTok.

Please be aware that videos and ads cannot be promoted via the app. This works a lot like Facebook Business Manager.

Register first on the “new site”

Enter the details about your company

Include the billing country/region, and whether it will only be used for personal or business purposes.

No matter what option you choose, the next screen will require you to provide contact information. You will need to provide your full name, phone number, and email address.

TikTok can reach you within 48 hours, or up to five working days to confirm the information.

Create your ad

1. Make your ad.

Log in to your TikTok Ads Account. Click “campaign”.

Next, click create. Because this is your first campaign, the edit button isn’t enabled yet.

2. Select your goal

TikTok lets you choose from three types of objectives: traffic, conversions, and App installation.

These are very simple and can drive people to your site, increase interaction, or encourage them to install your app.

3. Set your budget

There are two options for setting a budget: total or daily.

You should keep an eye on the campaign’s performance, regardless of your budget.

4. Make an ad group

Now, it’s time to create your ad groups in the campaign.

This section lets you change the location. You can choose to have it automatically or manually selected.

Next edit the information like you would on Facebook ads. You can also use keywords to describe your page or app.

In the Targeting section, you can choose gender, age, and location to define your target audience.

5. Optimize your campaigns

You must set an optimization goal before you launch your campaign.

  • Conversion refers to when your ad is shown to the public with a higher chance of conversion
  • Click. Click as many times as you can.
  • Impressions’ goal is to make your advertisement visible to as many people as possible.

You can turn on “Smart Optimization” to optimize and increase conversions.

The budget and time that your ads will run should be set. You can also decide whether your ads should be displayed every day or on a specific day.

6. Your ad can be designed

TikTok advertising allows you to use images and videos.

Don’t worry if your homemade videos don’t seem to be enough, or if video-editing software isn’t your forte. TikTok has a video creation tool that lets you create videos from templates. You can personalize them with images, music, and videos.

You can add text up to 80 characters and call to action after the design is completed.

TikTok Lead Generation Management

Do you want to get TikTok leads?

This feature allows users the ability to enter personal information, such as their name, email address, or phone number. These details can be saved.

This will enable you to get to know your friends and make them feel part of your community.

TikTok Advertising: Types of Ads

Once you have created your TikTok Ads Account, you need to decide what your goal is and what ads you can create.

Infeed Ads and Biddable ads 

These ads are similar to those you have on Instagram and Facebook. They will appear in users’ feeds and drive them to your website.

You have the option to create custom audiences that target your audience by gender, age, and location. 

These ads are less expensive and allow for videos up to 9 to 15 seconds. You have three payment options, depending on your goal. 
You pay per click, per 1,000 impressions, or per the number of views that appear on the “For You” feed.

Brand Takeovers

These ads will be displayed as soon as the app is opened.

These images can take up all of the screens and can either be static images or videos. They can redirect users to an external TikTok account or link, such as a page about a particular product.

These ads can be very costly and only large brands can afford them 
TikTok only allows one advertiser per day, which is why it is so expensive. 

Hashtag Challenges

This is a great way for friends to get involved in something. This won’t be expensive.

The brand promotes an #Hashtag Challenge that users can participate in with these ads. This is a great opportunity for your brand’s visibility to go viral and get more views.

This ad type will appear with a banner in the trending tab for 6 consecutive days. You will find instructions on how to complete your challenge on this page. 
According to the Voluum blog, This type of advertising costs about $150,000 per week

Branded Lenses

It’s important to get the most out of your creativity every day.

Now it’s time to make your ads aware of the filter. You can now create filters and an augmented reality filter. Users can then use them in their videos.

Be unique and ingenious to get lots of views and help your brand become viral.

Large brands can reserve these ads for up to $80,000 per person to add a TikTok Filter to their videos. 
We recommend that you don’t invest until you are certain you have created a filter that will reach millions.

TikTok Marketing is another way

Influencer Marketing is another option if other advertising methods aren’t convincing you.

Influencers can reach you to get your products featured in their videos.

Influencers can be arranged to appear in your video for the product that you are interested in.
