I can't film and I freeze in front of a camera.+
Every set has an idea with no face and no talking: a close-up of your hands, a view down onto the counter, a time-lapse of the work. Every script says where to put the phone, at what height and what to do with your hands, so there is nothing left to invent. Instead of nerves you get a list to check off.
This won't work in my trade. I run a repair shop, not a flower shop.+
Tap the tab with your kind of business above the example and read the same idea written for it. We have no templates for trades. An idea comes out of the two sentences you write about yourself, which is why it fits an auto repair shop as well as a beauty studio.
I have no time, I run the whole business on my own.+
Describing the business is 2 minutes once and for all, the ideas arrive on their own, and filming is about 15 minutes. You don't have to find a subject, write the words, hunt for a sound or guess the time. Looking for a trend and working out what to say usually takes longer than filming the video itself. And you don't have to film every day - one idea a week makes sense too.
AI will write nonsense and my customers will smell it.+
You don't have to take our word for it. Read the whole example above and judge it simply as a piece of writing. That is exactly what a customer gets, with nothing tidied up for the website. We write from what you say about yourself, not from general knowledge about your trade. Every sentence can be swapped for your own - it is a script, not an order.
Trends are free on TikTok. What am I actually paying for?+
Two things. First: in TikTok you see what is popular where you are right now, which means what plenty of people filmed before you. We show you something that is big abroad and still has a few quiet days where you are. Second: you are still left with the question of what exactly to film in your own place. That is what the finished script answers.
How do you know it will catch on with my customers?+
We don't know for certain and we will never write that we do. We know what position a thing holds abroad, what position it holds where you are and how fast it is climbing. That is why we give numbers and not just names - the decision is yours, and you can check the hashtag yourself on TikTok in half a minute.
I'm afraid they will block my account over the music.+
Next to every sound we say straight out whether a business account may use it. If it may not, you get an idea for the same format without that sound. We don't want that news reaching you from TikTok first.
My work isn't much to look at, I have nothing to show.+
The videos that work best for small businesses usually explain something the customer does not understand, or show what they are really paying for. You have that in every trade, bookkeeping and car repair included. Breaking a price into parts, or showing how long a job takes when the bill makes it look like five minutes, works better than pretty pictures.
I'm not good with computers.+
There is nothing here to install and there are no settings. The only thing you do at the start is describe your business in one text box. After that the ideas arrive by email and by text message, like an ordinary message from someone you know.
I'm not on TikTok, and my customers are older people.+
The same videos go on Instagram and Facebook, the vertical format is the same. And if your customers really do not watch short videos, we will say it plainly: this is not the tool for you.
Why do you want my phone number?+
For the morning message and nothing else. You do not have to give it, you can stay on email alone. One word, STOP, in reply ends the text messages, and one tap deletes the number. We pass it to nobody.
Another card to hand over, and then no way out?+
You cancel it yourself in your dashboard, under Plans and payments - no email to support, no phone call and no question about why. There is no fixed-term contract, so nothing carries on longer than you want it to. Access stays until the end of the month you paid for, so none of those days go to waste.
Do I get an invoice?+
Yes. After every payment the invoice comes by email. You give your business details when you pay, if you want them on it. Payments go through Stripe, so we never see your card number and we never keep it.
What exactly will I have after a month?+
Honestly: we do not promise views or new customers, because nobody can promise that. After a month you will have as many videos as you filmed, and you will know which kinds of video land with your customers and which do not, because the dashboard keeps everything that was ever sent to you. One thing is certain: the video you never film does nothing.
