How you can become a TikTok star

TikTok is the social media platform that everyone is trying to conquer.

It’s a platform which allows people to create videos that are up to three minutes long, although most content is shorter than this.

Users can choose who to follow as a ‘for you page’ is personalised to their interests.

From news and humour through to fashion and cooking, there are users creating content under a variety of genres.
