🐹 Hamsterdam Weekly TikTok Gems: Bonus Content for Part 66 (7/8-7/14, 2024) 💎

By Ethan Lazuk

Peek inside my FYP as we journey into the personalization of the TikTok algorithm!

Welcome! If you’re new here, this is a collection of my favorite TikTok content that I found during the last week. 🙌

These are the TikToks that I wanted to put in Hamsterdam Part 66 (a weekly SEO news recap) but didn’t because it would’ve slowed down the page’s load time, given all the other social embeds it has.

📢 PSA: This page may still time out on mobile. Scroll accordingly. 📱 🐢

Here’s a little more context.

Every Sunday, I publish Hamsterdam, a weekly recap of SEO and AI news, plus other cool content. (Lately, I’ve been publishing early looks on Saturday night, as well.)

I’d planned to put a noindex meta tag on these TikTok pages, but they’re actually popular in Search!

I spend maybe 10-20 hours on the normal Hamsterdam recaps, and about 20 minutes on these. They get nearly the same amount of clicks. 😂

It’s hard work to scroll TikTok for gems. I guess there’s value in having someone do that for you. 🤝

Without further ado, here’s the TikTok content I found notable this week.

Note, this content may not be super recent. It’s just what I came across this week.

I’ve also put subheadings by category. 🤛 Enjoy! 🔥

• Marketing 📣
• AI, ML, etc. 🤖
• Dev & design 👾
• Music 🎧
• Mindfulness 🧘
• Sports ⛳️
• Humor 😭

📣 Marketing & media

I don’t really use TikTok to engage with SEO content, but I find some good general marketing content (or specific to other channels) there. I’ve also added some business-related content this week.

🤖 AI, ML, etc.

I also view a lot of AI-related videos (both serious and humorous). Here’s what I found notable this week.

👾 Dev & design

Here’s content related to website or other coding and dev work (often with a generative-AI overlap, these days), as well as web or app design trends.

Improve your UI design and web design by mastering typography! Stop making common typography mistakes in your web designs. Here are some tips to enhance your font pairings and hierarchy: – Don’t just browse your font list. Check out http://fontshare.com for great free fonts. – Use Typewolf to find visual pairings from real-world examples. – Don’t rely solely on font size to create hierarchy. Adjust font weight on paragraphs, increase leading, and ensure good contrast on smaller fonts. – Limit centered text to two lines. Always left-align your text for readability. Avoid right alignment. – Headers don’t need to be heavy to stand out. Find the right balance and adjust kerning carefully for a clean look. #uidesign #uiux #webdesign #productdesign

🎧 Music

I’m an avid music listener. Here are videos that struck a chord with me. (Note: these are often best experienced with “cans” (🎧) on.)

🧘 Mindfulness

I practice mindfulness meditation and have found it helpful in my daily life. Here are videos on the topic (or related to it) that I would consider credible.

😭 Humor

I removed the humor section from the main Hamsterdam recaps, but rest assured there’s plenty of laugh-worthy content on TikTok. This is just what I found funny (which means it definitely isn’t).
