TikTok is a social media platform used for creating short content videos. Many people use this app to showcase their talents and gain popularity. Mostly, influencers are benefitted from this platform. A catchy name and engaging content will give you recognition in this vast network. When you have engaging content, using the ordinary name will not bring followers to your profile. Therefore, you should change and have an attractive profile name on your TikTok profile.
If you are an influencer, you can add links to your TikTok profile bio for promoting products, sales, and other activities.
