How TikTok Algorithm 2026 works
The 2026 algorithm shifted from view counts to "Completion Rate" and "Re-watch Rate". Videos people finish and re-watch get FYP boosts.
| Factor | Weight | How to improve |
|---|---|---|
| Completion Rate | 40% | Keep videos 15-30 seconds |
| Re-watch Rate | 25% | Create re-watchable moments |
| Engagement Rate | 20% | Ask for likes, comments, shares |
| Watch Time | 15% | Hook from first second |
Completion Rate formula
15-second video = 70%+ completion. 30-second video = 50%+ completion. 60-second video = 35%+ completion.
3-second hook techniques
People scroll fast. If the first 3 seconds do not hook, they scroll away. Here are techniques Thai creators use successfully.
Visual Hook
Start with unusual visuals, bright colors, or fast movement. Examples: cooking with flames, dramatic makeup transformation.
Question Hook
Ask curiosity-triggering questions. Examples: "Know why this clip has 10M views?" or "Wrong for 20 years".
Result Hook
Show results first, then explain how. Example: Show Before-After then say "How I did it, watch".
Sound Hook
Use trending sounds or music in first 3 seconds. Thais enjoy fun, rhythmic music.
Effective hook examples in Thailand
| Type | Hook Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Educational | "90% ไม่รู้วิธีนี้..." | High |
| Funny | "พ่อแม่ไม่ให้ทำ แต่..." | High |
| Food | "ร้านลับที่คิว 3 ชม." | Very High |
| Beauty | "ก่อนหลังแต่งหน้า" | High |

Free ConsultationFAQ
Q: Do you need many followers to reach FYP?
A: Not necessary. TikTok algorithm prioritizes video engagement, not follower count. Even a new account's first video can go viral.
Q: How many clips per day?
A: Recommend 1-3 clips per day. Quality over quantity. Posting many low-quality videos reduces algorithm visibility.
Q: Should I use popular music?
A: Yes, but check if it is trending with your target audience. Music popular with Gen Z may not suit older demographics.
