Why to Switch to Pro

Let’s be real honest. TikTok wants you to have a business account because they are hoping for two things.

Second, they think you might do some paid promotions on their website. TikTok generated an estimated $4.6 billion revenue in 2021, a 142% increase year-on-year. That is a boatload of money.

So, if they want your followers and your money, make sure you use it to your advantage. A simple switch to a pro account on TikTok offers the following benefits

A unique opportunity to engage your fans.
