TikTok is one of the world’s most popular apps for creating and sharing short videos. The app actually has more than 1 billion users around the globe, of which around 37.3 million are Gen Zs, according to Statista

In Singapore, TikTok ranks as the third favourite among social media platforms (except messaging apps) in 2022 based on a survey by We Are Social. Singaporeans also use the app for an average of 16.3 hours per month in 2022 according to Hootsuite. 

With the rising popularity of TikTok in Singapore, there is definitely more frequent trending content that has the potential to go globally viral. Remember Zoe Gabriel, the seventeen year old teen who was previously mocked by viewers for calling a Charles and Keith bag a luxury item? She subsequently made headlines all over the world, including on BBC, CNN, and South China Morning Post.

Keep reading if you’re in a search for the top 10 TikTokers in Singapore to work with your business, or if you’re just curious on how these most popular TikTokers are making a name and even money on the app.

The Rise Of TikTok And Its Potential For Marketing Brands  

TikTok, initially popular among teens for its dance and lip-sync videos, saw a surge in popularity during the pandemic as more users turned to the app for entertainment. It even gained 2.41 million active users in Singapore alone, according to Commission Factory. 

TikTok’s rapid growth even made one of its major competitors, Facebook, to roll out similar features and even the algorithm. The updated algorithm would then show content that is “uniquely personalised” to the users on their Home feed.

Users are not only good at coming up with engaging content, but also in influencing their followers to try the brands, products, or services they are promoting–a huge potential for brands to market their products. 

A self-professed full-time TikToker in Singapore, Nicole Liel only started using the app for entertainment during the pandemic. In two years, she got more than 100,000 followers and over 10 million Likes for her video. Later on, she thought of becoming a full-time TikToker after seeing brands getting into TikTok and reaching out to TikTokers as their content creators. She began getting brand deals and started earning an estimated average of S$3,000 a month on the app

Liel is just one of the many TikTokers in Singapore and all over the world who are now making money through getting brand deals for posting content in the app. 

With all the buzz around TikTok, have you ever stopped to consider how exactly the app works and what makes it so appealing to both its users and brands? Let’s delve deeper into understanding this popular mobile app.  

Understanding TikTok: The Platform, Its Algorithm, And Its Potential

TikTok, originally launched as Douyin in China in 2016 by ByteDance, is a short-form video app that allows users to create and share videos set to music. After its merger with Musical.ly in 2018, the app expanded its features to include more options for editing music and videos.

One of the key factors in TikTok’s success is its algorithm, which curates content for each user’s “For You” page based on their interests, regardless of whether the content is from users they follow or not. This algorithm allows content creators to reach a wider audience on the app.

During the pandemic, TikTok experienced even more growth and began to focus on commerce features such as TikTok Ads, TikTok Creator Marketplace, TikTok Live, and its subscription service, which allow content creators to earn money through subscriber-only chats. This has made it possible for anyone to earn in the app and even become one of the most popular TikTokers in Singapore.

In 2023, many Tik Tok content creators are making a name for themselves and earning money through the app. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 TikTokers in Singapore that brands and businesses should consider collaborating with.

The content you’ll find on their page is two furballs just having fun or living their life as cats. Even if you’re not a cat owner, you’ll find yourself amused by just lurking on their feed.
