Welcome to tikTALK!

Are you struggling growing your TikTok account? Does it feel like the algorithm is always changing and you're always behind on the latest trends? I can assure you that you are not alone! It is so common to feel this way, but here at tikTALK I'll be debunking TikTok myths, explaining the algorithm, and helping you keep up with TikTok best practices!

Who am I and why should you care?

My name is Holly Auna, I'm a Nashville based singer/songwriter and a TikTok influencer.  When I had to cancel my 2020 tour because of the pandemic, I dove into TikTok and never looked back. Over the last 14 months I've built my following from 0-555k followers, gotten verified, and even partnered with TikTok.  Since partnering with TikTok I've gotten to ask actual TikTok employees so many questions about the app, the algorithm, and content creation! 

Growing my TikTok was not a stroke of luck! It was good old fashioned hard work! Using the methods I've used ANYONE can build their TikTok following! TikTok is like a lottery that anyone can win if they work hard enough!

This also applies to using TikTok for music marketing! Because of TikTok, my single "Lonely" went to #1 on iTunes and it passed 20,000 streams in the first weekend. 

I wanted to start this blog to give back and tell you the secrets I wish I knew when I was starting out as a TikTok creator.  If you'd like a more hands-on approach to growing your TikTok following, check out my consulting company tikTALKconsulting.com!
