TikTok has become the go-to platform for sharing creative videos, and pinning your best content can help showcase what you’re all about. Let me walk you through exactly how to pin your favorite TikToks to your profile.
What Does Pinning a TikTok Video Mean?
Think of pinned videos like the welcome mat to your TikTok profile. When someone visits your page, these are the first videos they’ll see, staying right at the top regardless of when you posted them. You can pin up to three videos, making it perfect for highlighting your best work or most important content.
Step-by-Step Guide to Pinning Videos
1. Open your TikTok profile and find the video you want to pin
2. Tap the three dots (⋮) on the right side of the video
3. Scroll through the menu until you see “Pin to profile”
4. Tap it, and voila – your video is now pinned!
Important Things to Know About Pinning
Here’s something many creators don’t realize – you can only pin your own videos (obvious, right?), and they’ll show up with a little pin icon so visitors know these are your featured content. If you change your mind, unpinning is just as easy – just follow the same steps and select “Unpin.”
Strategic Ways to Use Pinned Videos
Let me share a quick strategy I’ve seen work wonders. Consider pinning:
– Your most engaging video that shows your personality
– A video that explains what your account is about
– Your latest product or service announcement (if you’re a business)
Common Pinning Problems and Solutions
Sometimes you might tap the three dots and not see the pin option. Usually, this happens because:
– You’re trying to pin someone else’s video
– You’ve already pinned three videos
– Your app needs updating
Making the Most of Pinned Content
Think of your pinned videos as your TikTok elevator pitch. They should tell new visitors exactly what they can expect from your content in seconds. I always recommend updating your pinned videos every few months to keep your profile fresh and relevant.
Remember, pinning videos is more than just a technical feature – it’s a powerful way to control the first impression you make on new followers. Choose videos that truly represent your brand or personality, and don’t be afraid to switch them up when you create something even better.
The best part? You can experiment with different combinations of pinned videos to see what works best for your audience. Just keep an eye on your analytics to understand which pinned videos are driving the most profile visits and follows.
