In only two years TikTok has emerged as a good competitor of YouTube, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook.

Having worth more than the US $75 billion, it has over one billion downloads in 150 markets worldwide in 75 languages.

While there is so much raving about the video app like TikTok continues to dominate the app marketplace as the most downloaded app.

Zhang Yiming, the app creator and his company ByteDance introduced 15 second or less video creation app that has put a whole host of editing feature at your fingertips.

This app was earlier called Musical.ly and later renamed TikTok by the ownership company ByteDance.

TikTok Success Mantra

Short and easy to build content

The mobile app developers made a smart move by limiting the video duration.

Whenever the app is opened, you are directed straight to the full-screen video that keeps replacing the new 15-second clip from the trending and seamlessly ending feed.

This is a unique concept. Developing a mobile app like TikTok video is super simple because of the mobile-oriented editing tools and large selection of prompting ideas.
