Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know
So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to Rednote (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt:
- Different Vibe
- TikTok is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes.
- Rednote leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips.
- Less is More—or Is It?
- On TikTok, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece.
- On Rednote, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights.
- Engage with the Community
- Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but Rednote users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views.
- Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords
- TikTok hashtags can be trendy and fleeting.
- Rednote hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips.
- Be Ready for Culture Shifts
- The Rednote audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks.
- If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style.
- Quality Over Quantity
- While TikTok can reward frequent posting, Rednote might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way.
