Journaling apps
TikTok marketing for journaling apps
TikTok marketing for journaling apps speaks to people who started a journal and stopped. Slides about why it didn't stick, three-line entries and one question a night bring them back, and your app is the easy way to start. Here is a sample post, 5 hooks, the formats that fit and an angle for each account.
Sound familiar?
- "Journal with me" videos are everywhere. You don't want to film your notebook.
- Your app's prompt screen is quiet and beautiful, and gets no views as a screenshot.
- Writing posts about writing is the task that never gets done.
- New Year and Sunday evenings come every week, and your account is silent.

Formats that fit

Why journals end up in a drawer, each with a smaller habit. Everyone who quit sees themselves.
- Listicle tips
Prompts people can answer tonight, one per slide, saved for later.
- Story / POV
Reading an old entry, told as a quiet POV.
One app, three accounts, three angles
Many apps post on more than one TikTok account. Give each its own angle so they never post the same thing. In Reelazy each account keeps its angle, and a new post is told what the app’s other accounts posted lately (many accounts).

Questions
Can the posts use my app's own prompts?
Yes. Put them in your app's brief in Reelazy, or ask the post's chat to use them. You read and edit every post before you approve it.
Do I need my own photos?
No. Reelazy puts each slide on a photo from its library. Add your own photos or app screenshots and it uses them on the slides that show the app.
How do the posts get to TikTok?
Through TikTok's official Content Posting API, to your TikTok inbox or straight to your profile. Nothing goes out until you approve it.
What does it cost?
Free covers 2 posts on 1 TikTok account, with no card. Pro is from $19 a month for 100 posts up to $200 for 1,250, with chat messages and copied formats included. Editing, scheduling and posting never use one up.
