TikTok is the fastest-growing social media platform, that hosts endless possibilities

to create and broadcast content. Unless you are living under a rock, there must
have been a time when you were obsessed with this app, maybe you still are. Every
day the app welcomes us with a new challenge or trend. From EXO Kai’s “Rover”
challenge to fruit rollups ice cream, the app is brimming with content to catch the
viewer’s eye. 
The live broadcast is another interesting feature that this application offers, like
Facebook and Instagram. But unlike other apps, TikTok went a step further and
introduced a feature where the broadcaster can receive gifts from the viewers, that
can be exchanged for money. Neat right “squeals with excitement”. 
Unfortunately, all that glitters isn’t gold and there is a backside to this appealing
feature, only those aged 18 and above, with 1000 followers can receive gifts.
Although you can host a live broadcast if you are 16 and above without receiving
gifts, the catch is that you must have 1000 followers. So, how can you host if you
are short on followers? Well, there is a trick, although it might not work, we are
happy to share it with you. 
Let’s start with the basics first.
TikTok lives, what are they?
TikTok lives are usually short, informal real-time broadcasts that TikTokers use to
interact with their viewers. They can be anything from casual convos to live dance
performances. Although some brands can host longer broadcasts showcasing
workout tutorials, tutorials on their products, or cooking tutorials. TikTok Live is
an easy way for brands to communicate with their users, engage interest and build
trust. 
Celebrities also like to use his feature to engage with their fans. It allows the fans
to ask questions live and send gifts to their favorite people.

Step 1: Start by going to the home screen and taping the create icon, which is a
plus sign at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2: Scroll your way to the live option and select a catchy image plus an
enticing title to attract the attention of the audience. 
Step 3: Press goes live once you are ready and stream away.

It allows you to rotate the camera, add effects and even filter out inappropriate
comments. 
Step 4: You can wrap up your stream by clicking the X icon at the top left corner
of the screen. 
Is it possible to go live without 1000 followers?
There is a rumor going around in the metaverse that it is possible to access TikTok
live without any restrictions. As it is in human nature to gain access to something
they are denied, some intelligent humans have come up with a hack to access the
live feature of TikTok without 1000 followers. Although the reliability of the hack
is questionable, and some have even failed. It doesn’t hurt to break the law for
once. 
We cannot promise that this hack will give you access to the feature, but we can
share our knowledge. Let’s test the validity of the hack and allow you to grow your
account.

Step 1: Go to your profile and click on the menu that is located at the top right
corner. 
Step 2: Go to the setting and privacy option and scroll down until you find the
option to report a problem. 
Step 3: You will find” I can’t start a live”. There TikTok will inform you why you
can’t start a live and that you should follow its guidelines. Afterward, the polite
app will ask if your problem was resolved. Click “No” and fill out a report saying
that “Previously you were able to start a live but are unable to do so now”. Submit
the report and wait for a TikTok representative to believe your little white lie and
get back to you.  
TikTok live tips you should know
If the hack miraculously worked for you and now you have access to the TikTok
live feature, how about some tips that will help boast your live and increase your
followers so you can access TikTok live without destroying your conscience.
Don’t improvise
Addressing an audience can be nerve-wracking, especially when they are total
strangers. Before doing a live make sure that you are fully prepared and don’t do or
say anything off the top of your head. You should know what topic you are going
to address, and what will be your opening remarks and in case you are planning on
doing a dance tutorial or live dance challenge, make sure you know all the moves
and are confident enough to go through with it. It is very easy to get tongue-tied in
front of an audience, but if you are well prepared, you will be able to host an
engaging live. 
Ambiance
Before doing a live, make sure that the area you are sitting in is clean and well-lit.
You can use a ring light to make your live stream professional. Also, check that
your camera mount is stable and the room you are sitting in isn’t noisy. Make sure
your family knows that you are filming, you wouldn’t want your brother hitting
you with a soda can or passing snarky comments in front of strangers, do you?
The short way is the right way
Your live stream should be short, approximately 30 minutes. Otherwise, the
audience will get bored and start to leave. 30 minutes is enough for you to
accomplish your goals and interact with your audience. Keeping the live stream
short will help you better engage the audience without derailing your stream. 
Team up with influencers
Teaming up with influencers is a good way to widen your audience. Discussing
your views with like-minded people will help engage the audience. You can also
interview influential people live to catch the attention of the audience and invite
their fans to an exclusive live interview.
