Why You Need to Be on TikTok as a Small Business Owner (and How to Make It Work)

Let me be blunt: If you’re still sleeping on TikTok as a small business owner, you’re missing out on major visibility.

This platform isn’t just for teens, trend dances, or viral drama. It’s a free stage. A digital megaphone. A space where you can grow a community, drive real traffic, and actually convert.

How do I know? Because I’ve done it.

TikTok Works…. I’ve Seen It Firsthand

I’ve gone viral multiple times, but one of the most recent hits was literally just a funny, slightly unhinged little moment… and BOOM. Hundreds of women followed me. Website traffic spiked. We got messages, member signups, and visibility like wildfire.

We’ve also had Beyond Boss members find us because they saw our clients post content we helped them create. That’s not just reach, that’s results.

TikTok isn’t magic. But when you use it right, it’s pretty damn close.

Why TikTok Is So Powerful for Small Biz Owners

1. The organic reach is still wild
TikTok is one of the last places on the internet where you can have zero followers and still get thousands of views. You don’t need a huge audience to pop off, you just need to post.

2. You can grow your brand without being salesy
Authenticity wins on TikTok. You don’t need to be a marketing genius. You need to be you. Honest, helpful, funny, passionate, that’s what people follow.

3. It builds trust fast
Video content builds a connection that’s hard to fake. People hear your voice, feel your energy, and start to trust you way faster than they would from a static post or blog.

4. You never know who’s watching
That one post you’re overthinking? It could be the one that lands you your next client, collaborator, or obsessed follower. Every video is a chance to get seen.

How to Use TikTok Without Burning Out or Cringing Into Oblivion

1. Pick 2–3 content pillars and stick to them
You don’t need to post everything. Just focus on a few things that show off your value, vibe, and voice. Think:

• Tips or education in your niche
• Behind-the-scenes of your work or life
• Personality-driven hot takes or storytimes

2. Use trends your way
If you want to hop on trends, do it, but do it your way. Twist the audio into something that fits your business or story. Make it relevant, not random.

3. Post imperfectly and often
Yes, you’ll cringe at your first videos. You’ll overthink your voice. You’ll wonder why no one watched that one you loved. Post anyway. TikTok rewards volume and experimentation. Keep showing up. BE ANNOYING. Post every single time you open the app. Cringe at yourself.

4. Engage with your audience like a real human
Reply to comments. Stitch people. Ask questions. The more you show up as yourself, the more people feel connected… and connection leads to conversion.

Visibility doesn’t come from perfection. It comes from showing up.

TikTok isn’t just a trend, it’s a tool. A powerful one. One that I’ve personally used to grow Beyond Boss, connect with the dreamiest women, and bring in actual new members and clients.
