What Does A Blue Check Mark On TikTok Mean?

If you come across an account with a blue check mark on TikTok you’ve stumbled onto a verified account. Basically, a blue check mark is the official stamp of approval from the mighty TikTok overlords.

But one major thing is a verified TikTok account benefits from increased exposure and a certain amount of cred. And, as the video-sharing platform has approximately 1 billion active users a month, according to Hootsuite, this is a huge potential audience to take advantage of.

Getting verified is often linked with celebs so their fans know what their official account is and to avoid scams or dodgy accounts.

However, you don’t need to be Charli D’Amelio or Ryan Reynolds-level famous to get the blue check mark, anyone can actually achieve it in a variety of different ways and it can really help solidify the reputation of your brand.

How to get the blue check mark on TikTok

One thing to know is, unlike Twitter and Instagram, there is no verification request process on TikTok. Instead, the TikTok leaders look through its accounts to see if any meet their standards for verification and bestow the mighty blue check marks on them.

But there are some tips you can follow to get the verification – as you may notice there are some accounts that have thousands or even millions of followers and no blue check mark.

1. Focus on content creation. The first thing you need to do is create content consistently – maybe even find your niche and target your audience.
2. Create a viral video. Anyone can do it. It sounds hard on the surface but if Jackie Weaver’s questionable authority can send her viral, or a man doing TikTok dances in a cardigan can, anyone had the ability.
3. Get verified on other social media platforms. Look through your other accounts and work out if you can get verified on them, you can then share your TikTok videos with them and gather more followers for your TikTok brand.
4. Get media coverage. Similar to going viral.
5. Work with influencers. These guys already have huge followings that can help yours grow and they can give you some tips.
6. Follow TikTok’s community guidelines. This is so important, if TikTok doesn’t think your content is suitable it may not only take the video down but ban you and that isn’t going to help get anyone verified.
