🎯 Chapter Overview
Before you can grow an audience on TikTok, you have to understand who you’re speaking to — and why they should care.
Many creators skip this step and post randomly, hoping one video will go viral.
But sustainable success comes from clarity — knowing exactly who your content is for, what they need, and how your voice fits into that space.
This chapter is where you define your foundation.
You’ll uncover your ideal audience, sharpen your niche, and learn how to position yourself so TikTok’s algorithm — and your followers — know exactly what to expect from you.
💡 When you know who you’re creating for, your message becomes magnetic.
Why This Chapter Matters
TikTok rewards creators who are consistent in message, tone, and theme.
That doesn’t mean you can’t evolve — it means you build trust through familiarity.
When viewers instantly recognise your content — your style, your message, your vibe — they’re more likely to stop, watch, and engage.
That’s how creators move from posting videos… to building communities.
đź’ˇ Clarity beats variety every time.
