How to Create TikTok Posts Out of Your Twitch Vods

TikTok is a valuable source of attention for anybody who is marketing a Twitch channel.

If you are reading this, it means you are on the fence. You might start posting on TikTok, but you need help understanding how to get started.

There is a lack of content on the TikTok platform which means that random posts can get thousands of views even if the account has no followers yet. If you post something halfway decent every day on TikTok, you will gain followers. This is supply and demand in action, perhaps the only economic concept I actually understand.

It’s not always the case that you can “build it and they will come” on a social platform. Tik Tok is an opportunity right now because you can start with nothing and actually build a fanbase.

Whenever I find one of these opportunities, I become obsessed. Last time it got really exciting was Steem, the blockchain social media incubator network where I built a 3,000+ follower account and generated thousands of dollars of freelance income before leaving it all behind. It was a wild ride, and I’ve been looking for the next great platform to build on ever since.

Now I see that Twitch is the great platform to build on, and TikTok is a valuable part of making it happen faster and more reliably.

If you’re streaming for 20+ hours a week on Twitch but not putting in the 2–3 hours a week on TikTok, you are a dummy. I just don’t understand the point of leaving that much money on the table when you are already working so hard.

My best-performing TikTok post has more views than every stream I’ve ever done on Twitch combined. It took me ten minutes to make.

In this short post I will lay out the exact step-for-step process that I use to take clips from my Twitch stream and repurpose them as TikTok posts. The entire process takes 10–15 minutes per post.

Please note that this is just my method. There are probably even better ways to do this, but my way will be a good starting point.

What You Will Need

  • A Smart Phone
  • Some Kind of Movie Editor on Your Phone (I use iMovie, free on all iPhones)
  • Somewhere to Host Files Digitally (I use Microsoft OneDrive, you could use Dropbox too)
  • A Computer, a Twitch Stream, etc
