### Checklist Items (8 Actionable Steps)
**Step 1: The “Clean Slate” Refresh**
– [ ] **Open TikTok** and navigate to your **For You Page (FYP)** .
– [ ] **Long-press** on a video you *don't* like.
– [ ] Select **”Not interested”** to immediately tell the algorithm what to avoid.
**Step 2: Find the “Hot” Tab**
– [ ] Tap the **Discover** icon (magnifying glass) at the bottom.
– [ ] Look for the **”Trending”** or **”Hot”** carousel at the top.
– [ ] **Bookmark** this page—it updates hourly with viral sounds and hashtags.
**Step 3: The “Follow” Power Move**
– [ ] Find **3 creators** in your niche (e.g., marketing, cooking, fitness).
– [ ] Tap **Follow** on their profile.
– [ ] *Pro Tip:* Scroll to the bottom of their profile and follow 2 accounts they follow.
**Step 4: Lock in Your Hashtags**
– [ ] Search for a core hashtag (e.g., #SmallBusinessTips).
– [ ] Tap the **”Following”** option next to the hashtag (not just the search result).
– [ ] Repeat for **2 more** hashtags to create a curated feed.
**Step 5: The “Save for Later” Hack**
– [ ] When you see a video you love, tap the **Ribbon/Bookmark** icon to save it.
– [ ] **Organize:** Go to your profile > Bookmark icon > **”New Collection”** .
– [ ] Name it “Trends to Try” or “Viral Sounds.”
**Step 6: Engage to Train the Algorithm**
– [ ] **Like** a video (double-tap).
– [ ] **Comment** a meaningful question (even “Where is this?” helps).
– [ ] **Share** one video via DM to a friend (this signals high value to TikTok).
**Step 7: The “Creep” Mode (Web Browser)**
– [ ] Open **tiktok.com** on your laptop (no app needed).
– [ ] Click the **”Live”** tab to see trending creators in real-time.
– [ ] *Why:* Web version shows different content than the app—great for spotting early trends.
**Step 8: Privacy & Safety Check**

– [ ] Toggle **”Suggest your account to others”** to OFF if you only want to watch.
