TikTok Adventures

So, I've been experimenting with TikTok and I must be old, because it's so confusing!

This social media platform is a beast! It is crammed full of features and incredible creators. I follow many authors who have great success on TikTok and I am considering doing a course, but right now, I'm happy enough to play around.

It's pretty confronting seeing and hearing yourself on screen. I have deleted so many videos of myself because I'm appalled. It's all about being authentic, but still...

I've nearly been successful at posting daily, but I have found that challenging! Making a TikTok video and then saving it and uploading those to my Facebook and Instagram accounts is saving me time across platforms, so that's a cool technique I'm using to save time.

My next step is to find a social media planning app and try and organise my posts by having a solid weekly plan. I envision having a block of time set aside each week for social media planning and creation and then having it work automatically with scheduled posts etc.

Now, anyone that knows me, understands that systems are my nemesis, but I desperately want to implement some structures that hold me to account in 2025 with social media. Do you have a suggestion of a good (and very easy to learn) app for social media? Let me know if you do and it's still 2024!

If you don't have the app, I have included a video I made on TikTok. It's silly - but authentic :)
