I found the course helpful and easy to follow. It provides a solid foundation, especially for beginners who are just starting out on TikTok. While the content was clear and informative, it felt a bit basic overall. I think it would be even more valuable if it included more practical examples—especially specific hook ideas and actionable tips for creating higher-performing videos. Overall, it’s a good starting point, and with a bit more advanced, hands-on strategies, it could be even better.

The trailer for this course was obviously created separately from the course itself. I feel like I've been catfished. The audio is difficult to hear, and the app has undergone significant changes since this course was created. It's almost impossible to follow along in Section 3 because many features he discusses are obsolete, and new features are not covered. Extremely generic information that can be obtained from any free YouTube video.

I enjoyed the course however when the tiktok screen is being displayed I wasn't sure where you were clicking on...perharps somekind of hi-light or circles that show the audience what you are clicking on would be more helpful. I also would have liked for you to spend a little bit more time in the video or content creation...otherwise this course was informative Thanks.

Justice is an excellent teacher and extremely knowledgeable on this topic. He gave LOADS of value in this clear, concise course that I've not heard from other instructors. I am left feeling completely confident building my own TikTok account which before now was nothing but a confusing, foreign-feeling platform. I am 43 years old btw and am quite humbled that such a young person could teach so well and in very little time. Thank you, Justice, for this course. I 10/10 recommend to EVERYONE who's looking into learning TikTok.

Great course, everything was explained really well. The only reason for my rating is there was no explanation about hashtags. How do you use them / how many should we add / what size should they be - are bigger ones better? are smaller better? should we pile as many as a caption allows or shall we only use 5-7.

Very helpful. I am learning a lot of very useful skills. Everything is explained clearly. I am older and trying to understand how all of this worked was confusing to me. You have definitely made it more clear and understandable for me. I guess Old dogs can be taught new tricks! Thank You!!

great course for beginners, I have a language business and did quite well on YouTube for a while but couldn't maintain the lengthy videos, so discovered lately TIK TOK , which now, in reverse is going to serve me also with the YT shorts! I learned already so much, much faster than trying to figure it out myself :) Justice , who could age wise be my son , is a great tutor, who is explains everything very well and efficient.

Good content but he does gloss over several features in Tik Tok and just says something like "this seems like a cool feature and you might want to learn about it" . . .well I bought this course to learn about it. If I have to go google features then I should have just googled all of them. Just a small point though. Overall he has some really good stuff in here so far.

I really liked how straight-to-the-point this course was, it didn't have fluff and high-level info which I feel like a lot of courses have. Its also really up to date and I hope he keeps adding lessons as TikTok releases more updates. GREAT course.

A complete course on growing your personal brand that I would recommend to anyone. Justice is super personable and explains everything in great detail. Clearly knows his stuff and has helped me a lot in starting my own social media creator journey.
