TikTok (and Other Social Media) for Creatives
Whether you’re an author with a book to promote, or a writer seeking exposure as you navigate your journey, you may regard TikTok as a looming Gen Z storm cloud you can’t out-run.
Luckily, it isn’t as dire as all that.
Join Romi Moondi as she shares her uncomfortable but ultimately useful experience with TikTok, in the run-up to the release of her first traditionally published novel.
This presentation will cover:
- Getting familiar with booktok vs. authortok vs. writertok
- The business vs. personal account, music rights, and getting a link in bio
- Dealing with the lack of crossover in followers between TikTok and your other social media accounts
- No, you don’t have to dance
- Using TikTok for a book launch
- Using paid posts to your advantage
- Leveraging TikTok videos on Instagram reels (i.e. minimize your work, maximize your exposure)
- Using other social media sites for your writing career
- Q&A
