Step 1: Download the TikTok App
In order to create a TikTok account, you need to have a TikTok app. Begin by downloading the TikTok app from your device’s App Store (available for both iOS and Android). Once installed, open the app and get ready.

Step 2: Sign Up or Log In
You’ll have two options when you launch TikTok:
– Log in: If you already have an account.
– Sign up: If you’re a new user looking to create a TikTok account – tap the Sign Up button at the bottom.
Step 3: Choose a Sign-Up Method
TikTok allows you to sign up using:
– Email address
– Phone number
– Social media accounts
In this guide, I’ll focus on signing up with your email address.
Step 4: Enter Your Date of Birth
You’ll need to provide your date of birth for age verification and content protection. This step ensures a safe environment, especially for younger users. TikTok is available for anyone who is 13 years and older.
Step 5: Enter Your Email Address
Input your email address and decide whether to opt into newsletters or trending content updates. This is optional, so you can skip it if you’d like.
Step 6: Create a Strong Password
Set a strong password that includes:
– At least 8 characters
– One letter and one number
– At least one special character
This ensures your account remains secure. Small TikTok accounts are commonly under attack from hackers. I’m not sure why but someone tries to hack into my “test” account with just 2 followers on a daily basis. Lol.
Step 7: Choose a Nickname
Now, create a nickname that represents you on TikTok. Make sure it’s unique and something others can easily find! Usernames can contain only letters, numbers, underscores and periods. Changing your username in the future will also change your profile link! You can change your username once every 30 days.
Step 8: Set Up Your Profile (Optional)
Personalizing your profile helps others recognize you:
– Profile Picture/Avatar: You can take a photo, upload one, or create a fun avatar. Users without a photo are less trustworthy and they seem and look like spam. Your profile picture can be a picture of you from afar if you don’t want to show your face in detail. It can be your logo but I would avoid putting animals or cars as your profile picture. Unless you’re 16 years old of course.
– Bio: Write a short bio (up to 80 characters). Many people also include their email for business inquiries. Bio should be fun, straight to the point and unique to distinguish yourself from other creators. What is your niche? What is the reason people should follow you?
– Link Accounts: Connect your Instagram, YouTube, or other social accounts for a seamless experience. If people like your content, they may go to your Youtube channel for long-form or Instagram for more visuals.
Keep in mind that you can include the link in the bio only once you have 1,000 followers.
Step 9: Adjust Privacy Settings
TikTok offers options like:
– Whether to receive personalized ads
– Finding contacts from your phone or Facebook friends
– Inviting friends to follow you, especially if you want to build your audience quickly.
Step 10: Enable Profile View History (Optional)
Want to know who’s checking out your profile? Enable Profile View History to see who’s visited your page.
Step 11: Start TikToking!
Your profile is now set up, and you’re ready to explore TikTok! Create, follow, and engage with the community to get the most out of your TikTok journey. By following these steps, you’re on your way to becoming a TikTok expert. Don’t forget to sign up for the course and unlock your full TikTok potential. Happy TikToking!
