TikTok creators and the contact sourcing problem

The problem

TikTok creators complicate contact sourcing, for a reason specific to them. TikTok creators can go from unknown to a million views in a week, so their numbers move faster than anyone's, which shapes contact sourcing. One thing contact sourcing on TikTok creators rarely accounts for: one viral clip can carry a profile for months while typical posts reach a fraction of it. There is 1 runnable example of contact sourcing for TikTok creators below.

Why it matters

A pitch list of TikTok creators is only as good as its weakest column, and the contact column is usually the weakest.

The method

  1. Start with one of TikTok creators you already know, so a wrong contact sourcing answer is obvious rather than plausible.
  2. Run Influencer Lead List Builder across your list of TikTok creators, which carries 1 ready made setup for contact sourcing.
  3. Read ten rows of contact sourcing on TikTok creators by hand before you trust the rest of the list.

Traditional Search Tools

  • TikTok One, for TikTok creators. The official creator marketplace, free to browse, covering only creators who joined it.
  • Modash. Discovery and contact data in one subscription for the large platforms. Strong on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and the export is the end of its job.
  • Upfluence. Discovery, outreach and campaign management in one platform with an ecommerce slant. Priced for a brand running a standing program rather than one list.
  • A virtual assistant. Cheap per hour and good at the clicking. Quality varies, and the list is as good as the brief and the spot checks.
  • Assemble it in a spreadsheet. Find the creators, copy each profile's numbers, follow every bio to a contact, and paste it all into one sheet. Ten minutes or more per creator once contact hunting is included.
