HOW TO GET 100K TIKTOK FOLLOWERS FAST IN 2026

Let me tell you something before you get too excited about gaining 100k TikTok followers.

All social media platforms’ business models are incredibly sophisticated “money extraction” machines.

TikTok will deliberately let you build a big organic reach, then change the algorithm to lower your reach and make you pay to get you the same level of reach you previously had for free. Even marketers working in some of the top fastest-growing industries now have to spend a lot of money (boosting their TikTok videos) to reach their hard-earned followers.

Serious marketers and business owners who have taken my marketing strategy training sessions or are subscribed to my exclusive newsletter are already putting into practice real & proven marketing techniques to build audiences they own, increase their sales and not get distracted with vanity hashtagging.

Trust me. The actual gains of posting popular TikTok hashtags are minimal if you have not properly crafted a top marketing strategy, delivered optimal customer service or met your marketing objectives.

Two reminders:

  1. You do not own your audience on TikTok. You cannot transfer your hard-earned audience to another platform. Tip: You must build audiences on platforms you own. I will teach you how.
  2. TikTok wants you to pay for ads. Simple. The TikTok algorithm will deliberately make it harder to show your content to your followers for free. Stop wasting time and activate proven growth hacking techniques. I can show you this too.

HOW TO GET 100K TIKTOK FOLLOWERS IN 24 HOURS – TOP 8 TIPS

Okey, probably not that fast… but surely you’ll get there eventually once you start actioning some of these top tips and advice.

8. Make your videos look like viral videos on TikTok

To get thousands of TikTok followers fast, you need to make your TikTok videos look like other popular viral videos already having success on the platform.

The magic formula to TikTok fame: make your videos look like *every other viral video* on the platform. 🔥🙄

Because who wouldn’t want to blend in with the millions of dancing teens, lip-syncing legends, and random cats doing weird things? 🐱🎶

So, here’s the secret: If you wanna get 100k new followers on TikTok, you need to make your videos look like all the other viral ones… because, well, it works.

If a people are doing the same viral dance, same audio, same weird but popular trend, you best believe you’re not getting noticed by doing something “different.” 🚀✨

Nope, you gotta be a cookie-cutter TikTok superstar, Well at least, once to test it out. 🍪💫

  • Step 1: Find something that’s going viral. 🔍 The more basic, the better! Bonus points if it involves a trending song, a random dance move you’ll forget by next week, or a meme format that’s already been beaten to death. (We love a good meme that’s been milked for all it’s worth, right?) 😂🎵
  • Step 2: Create your own version of it. 🙌 Make sure it has just enough of your unique flair to make people say, “Wait, is that…the original?” 🙃🎥 (It’s is but it is not. It’s original, but not “the original”, you know what I mean.)
  • Step 3: Add hashtags. For example, add some of the top 25 popular hashtags on TikTok or top 25 trending hashtags on TikTok. 📲 Some few hashtags will increase your chances of being discovered by an algorithm that has no idea what’s going on.
  • Step 4: Show your most chaotic face. 😆 Jump around like you’re auditioning for the next Fast & Furious movie or shout at the camera like you’ve just discovered the secret to eternal life. 😱💥 The more over-the-top, the better.
  • Step 5: Post it and pray to the TikTok gods. 🙏 Watch as your followers *miraculously* multiply like rabbits, even though your video is just you mimicking a 12-year-old’s dance routine that you’ve definitely seen at least 100 times today. 🐇📈
  • Step 6: If it works, then rinse and repeat. 🔁 You gotta keep churning out these masterpieces of repetition. 💡✨ Remember: Just keep riding the viral wave until you’re *sick* of new followers. 🏄‍♀️

So there you have it!

Wanna to get 100k new followers?

Easy! Just blend into the chaos, copy what’s working, and throw in some chaotic energy. 🍿🎉

Congratulations, you’re now an expert at how to make your videos go viral. But hey, if it gets you thousands of followers, who cares? 😜🎉

7. Use some of the newest TikTok features

The TikTok algorithm will always give a bit of preference to videos that use some of the latest new features on the platforms. Using features like duet, stitch or greenscreen will help your videos go viral and win thousands of new followers.

6. Craft the best social media strategy

Using some of the top 25 most popular hashtags on TikTok or some of the top 25 trending TikTok hashtags right now will help your videos get a bit of extra reach but the main ingredient to winning thousands of followers is to have an overarching content strategy that you can deliver consistently.

5. Post your videos at the most optimal time

Every social media scheduling platform that includes TikTok post scheduling will tell you different optimal times to post on TikTok. Use all the insights you have about your followers to decide the best time to post on TikTok. For example, you may find the best time to post is at 8:30 p.m. when people are at home after work. If you target teens you may find the best time to post may be at 3:30 pm right after school. If you are targeting office workers, you may find the lunch break – at noon – may be a great time to post your TikTok content.

Marketers are using the best social media strategy plan template

All of eDigital’s virtual assistants have been carefully trained in social media scheduling, how to respond to negative comments/complaints, photo editing and copywriting including knowing how to use some of the top 100 most common English language idioms to ensure your captions on Instagram offer a layer of depth and relatability to your marketing and communication efforts.

“Globally, each social media platform offers a unique set of popular and trending hashtags. For example, the top 25 most popular Instagram hashtags are quite different to popular TikTok hashtags. Compare these lists and have a platform-specific #hashtag strategy”

4. Invite people to follow you on TikTok

Inviting people to click the plus button is a proven winning strategy to win thousands of followers. It works the same way when YouTubers invite people to click on the bell icon.

3. Decide your video upload frequency and stick to it

Find a good balance when publishing different kinds of videos on TikTok.

Having a posting schedule ensures consistency when you post and what you share.

Make sure that you stick with your content schedule.

For example, Sara Magusara – One of the top 25 most followed Australians on TikTok – consistently posts every week. This has helped her reach more than 16+ million followers.

2. Keep your brand consistent on TikTok

Consistency is key in TikTok marketing. For your audience to recognise your brand, you must be consistent. Being consistent in your brand allows you to grow your follower count and boost your engagement and reach. From the tone of voice used in messages to the aesthetics of your profiles, you need to be recognisable to gain traction among your intended audience.

Consistent voice

To be consistent in the tone used on TikTok videos, you must first understand who it is that you are speaking to when posting your videos. For example, if you’re speaking to millennials, you wouldn’t use the same vernacular as you would if you were speaking to those in the baby boomer generation. Age, geographical location, gender, interests, aspirations, each of these segment groups of people, and knowing which group you’re speaking to allows you to choose a tone of voice that your audience will understand.

Consistency in the way you communicate on your TikTok videos can allow people to recognise your videos in the same way you recognise your friend’s voice when they say “hello” over the phone.

Brand recognition is needed to build a loyal audience and a following on TikTok, so be true to your brand.

You know who you are, what you do, and why it matters to people.

It’s a balancing act.

Aim to communicate in a way that stays true to your brand while also resonating with your audience.

Keeping your mission, vision, and values in mind when selecting your voice and the content of your posts can help create the balance and consistency needed to gain thousands of followers on TikTok.

Consistent content

Don’t be scattered in what you share on TikTok. Show what you know and share what your audience will find relevant to their lives. The goal is to be relevant and authentic. Is your content on TikTok creating a consistent emotional response? Are your TikTok videos making people laugh, think about, surprise, provoke or cry?

Consistent aesthetics

Keep your TikTok videos to an appropriate time length.

Videos that are too long can be burdensome and aesthetically unappealing.

The same goes for the use of excessive hashtags in videos. Hashtags are a great way to jump into the conversation surrounding a trending topic but too many can be cluttered and ineffective.

A good rule of thumb is for the number of words in your caption to be longer than the number of hashtags used in the same post.

Your profile needs to have visual appeal.

People are visual creatures and are naturally attracted to aesthetically appealing visuals. Make sure that your profile follows a theme. Have a colour scheme for your TikTok videos and use the same filter each time you edit your videos for TikTok.

Having a cohesive, visually appealing theme that consistently reinforces its brand, which every business should aim to do when using TikTok to market to consumers.

1. Post videos about viral topics

A fast way to gain thousands of followers is to jump into the conversation surrounding a trending topic. However, be careful as not all trending topics may be relevant to your brand and what you sell.
