What is TikTok playlist feature?
A TikTok Playlist or "Creator Playlist" is a collection of related videos compiled by creators. This helps viewers find relevant videos on specific topics quickly and easily.

In turn, playlists that distribute views for older videos can be hard to find. It's a big win for creators, with a bunch of old videos collecting virtual dust.
As a marketer or creator, it is your responsibility to seek out all growth opportunities on your social media profiles.
Fortunately, with TikTok Creators playlists, the potential is not lacking! This feature opens up countless possibilities to increase engagement, increase reach, and showcase your customers' unique content.
While Creator Playlists are often thought of as a user-focused feature, brands can also leverage Playlists to showcase their unique offerings. Think Q&A sessions, tutorials, breaking news, dance videos - unlimited!
By creating playlists that showcase your brand's strengths and personality, you can attract new subscribers and retain existing subscribers.
PSA: Each TikTok video can only be included in one playlist at a time, which means you need to plan your playlist's topics carefully in advance. And if you need to move a video to another playlist, you need to remove it from the current playlist first.
But you ask who can actually create playlists? Read on to find out! We'll explain the eligibility requirements and walk you through the steps to get started.
Who can create playlists on TikTok?
As of this writing, not everyone has access to the TikTok Creators playlist feature.
According to TikTok's announcement, only creators with at least 10,000 followers can create playlists.
That said, if your client wants to create a playlist but has less than 10,000 subscribers, focus on growing their audience first.
If you're nervous about reaching 10,000 social media followers, don't worry - that's the general feeling! But don't let that number overwhelm you - you've got it!
Once you learn how to get 1,000 followers on TikTok, it's just a matter of consistency for your customers to reach 10,000 followers.
Tips to qualify for a TikTok playlist
Not enough followers for a TikTok Creator playlist? Here are five proven strategies to grow your customers' followers:
Take the TikTok Challenges. Social challenges attract a lot of interaction on TikTok. Participate in trending challenges or work with customers to come up with something unique.
Schedule your clients' TikTok videos at the right time. Post TikTok videos at a time when your target audience is most active to maximize exposure. Use all-in-one social media management (SMM) platforms like Vista Social to determine ideal TikTok posting times and automate social posting.
Follow other users. Reach more users by following their accounts and viewing their notifications. Please unfollow the followers after a few days. This will help you maintain a healthy follow-to-subscriber ratio.
Incorporate trending elements into customer videos: Use trending sounds, effects, and hashtags to increase customer visibility on TikTok. This allows your customers to appear to TikTok users whenever they try to use the same items.
Reacting to popular TikTok accounts. Post reaction videos to get the attention of other creators and their followers. Use the built-in 'Duet' function or video editing applications such as InShot, VistaCreate and KineMaster to add special effects.
Mention popular quotes on TikTok. Popular TikTok quotes like "wait till the end" and "a wise man once said" make videos more interesting and eye-catching. Just try to find a quote on TikTok that fits the context of your video and the interests of your target audience.

Tips for creating an engaging TikTok playlist
Get the most out of a TikTok playlist with these strategies:
Set content topics. Plan how you will group videos into playlists by identifying recurring themes in your content strategy. For example, you can create playlists for tutorials, product reviews, comparisons, or any other category relevant to your client's brand.
Share playlists as bundles. TikTok playlists are changing the dynamics of reposting on TikTok and other social media platforms. Instead of reposting individual videos, share the entire playlist and encourage viewers to watch them all.
Arrange the videos in the playlist in the correct order. Pay attention to the arrangement of videos when creating playlists. If they are viewed in order, place the videos that should be viewed first at the top.
Schedule a special playlist. Use Vista Social to share TikTok playlists with a wider audience. Paste the link into your reading list and schedule it at the ideal posting time to reach as many users as possible. Playlists provide an alternative to TikTok's video length restrictions. If you're responsible for a client's video content, shoot a long video, split it up with a video editor, and upload it as part of a playlist.
Create playlist with deleted videos. After you learn how to find deleted TikTok videos, aggregate them into a special playlist. Remember to follow TikTok's community guidelines (learning how to unban TikTok is a whole other challenge).
Use playlist hashtags. Vista Social can also help you find relevant hashtag ideas for TikTok playlists. Some ideas are "#compilation", "#playlist", "#tutorials" and "#deletedtoks".
Performance measurement. After creating a playlist, check if you have increased views for all added videos. Use TikTok analytics or Vista Social's cross-channel reporting to identify potential improvements.
