How to Grow Your Business on TikTok in Nepal

TikTok will still show a brand new account to thousands of strangers if the video earns it. No other platform is that generous, and Nepali businesses under-use it badly.

Follower count matters least here

Reach is decided video by video, not per account. A shop with two hundred followers can out-reach one with twenty thousand on any given day, which is why it is the best place to start from zero.

What TikTok rewards

Rough and specific beats polished and generic on this platform, regularly.

  • A hook in the first second, not the first five.
  • Speaking to one person, not addressing an audience.
  • Local details: the neighbourhood, the price, the actual product.
  • Replying to comments with a new video, which the platform pushes.

Post more here than anywhere else

Because reach is decided video by video, volume is a real strategy on TikTok in a way it is not on Instagram. More attempts means more chances one gets picked up.

Send them somewhere

Views without a next step are entertainment. Put your location, your price, or your Instagram in the video itself, because most viewers never open your profile.

Real examples

Bad line, good line.

Most people write

"Hello everyone, today I will be showing you our new collection."

Say this instead

"This costs NPR 900 and sells out every single week."

Most people write

Replying to a good comment with a text reply.

Say this instead

Replying to it with a video, which the platform pushes further.

Full example

Worked example: two weeks from zero followers

01Post one video a day for fourteen days, each with the hook in the first second.
02Say your neighbourhood and price out loud in every one.
03Judge the batch, not the videos. Keep whichever two formats got picked up.
What TikTok forgives

And what it does not

Rough footage

Handheld, unlit, unpolished is fine.

Talking straight

No intro, no logo, no music-only.

Posting often

Volume still decides the ceiling.

TikTok is the most forgiving platform for a small account, but not about pace.

TikTok does not care how many followers you have. It cares whether people watched.

Do this week

Three things you can do now.

01Post one video a day for two weeks and judge only the batch.
02Reply to your best comment with a video, not text.
03Say your location and price out loud in the video.
