On TikTok, I’m planning to try these:

  • Use popular sounds, but not the ones everyone is already using.
  • Make sure the content grabs attention in the first 2 seconds to stop people from scrolling past.

Any other ideas? Also, how do you market a forum or Discord?

For a forum, it’s all about being active and engaging a lot.

That’s great advice, but how do I get people to join in the first place? I’ll make sure to stay active once it grows. Thanks!

Use hashtags and make sure your titles and descriptions on TikTok are optimized. Sounds like you’re already on the right track with popular sounds.

That makes sense for TikTok. What about growing the forum side? I’ll definitely work on SEO and hashtags for TikTok.

You need to start with a core group of people who care about your forum or Discord topic. Build value and invite them to be part of it.

Exactly. Focus on being super active in your community and offering a lot of value to keep people coming back.

I like your TikTok ideas! Picking popular sounds that aren’t overdone is smart, and grabbing attention in 2 seconds is a must. My tips: reply to comments, interact with others, use hashtags carefully, and avoid overposting. For a forum or Discord, give people a reason to stick around—exclusive content, live Q&A sessions, or just being really active. Collaborating with influencers or mods from similar communities can also help. Have you thought about using TikTok to drive traffic to your forum or Discord?

Yeah, I’m planning to comment on other TikTok posts where I can add something useful. And yes, I’ll definitely link the TikTok to the forum and Discord. Thanks for the advice!
