With an insane number of daily users, TikTok has become the top social media platform out there, with thousands of people trying to build a following on the platform thanks to its incredible viral potential.

Stars like Addison Rae and Charli D’Amelio garnered tens of millions of followers on TikTok after their videos blew up on the platform, and there are many people from all different communities who would love to achieve the same.
