Step-By-Step: How to Link Discord and TikTok

Connecting your Discord server and TikTok account takes just a few easy steps. Here‘s exactly how to do it:

Step 1: Create a Custom Discord Invite Link

The first step is to generate a custom invite link for your Discord server. Here‘s how:

Open the Discord app and go to your server.
Tap the menu icon in the top left and select Invite People.
From the invite screen, tap the settings icon to customize your link.
Under Advanced, change the Expiry setting to Never.
Tap Copy to copy your custom invite link.

This creates a permanent invite link that will never expire or stop working.

Step 2: Switch to a TikTok Pro Account

To add a clickable link to your TikTok bio, you need to upgrade to a Pro account:

Open TikTok and go to your profile page.
Tap the 3-dot menu icon and select Manage account.
On the account management page, tap Switch to Pro Account.
Choose the Business option when prompted.

With a TikTok Pro account, you can add clickable links to your bio and posts.

Step 3: Add Your Discord Link to TikTok

Now you can add your custom Discord invite link to your TikTok bio:

Go to your TikTok profile and tap Edit profile.
Scroll down and tap Add your website.
Paste your custom Discord link in the website field.
Tap Save to add the clickable link to your bio!

And that‘s it – your Discord server and TikTok account are now linked for easy cross-promotion!

Pro Tips to Maximize Cross-Promotion

Now that you‘ve connected your platforms, let‘s look at some pro tips to maximize cross-promotion between your Discord server and TikTok account:

Promote Your New TikTok Videos on Discord

Share your latest and best TikTok videos in appropriate Discord channels. This gives your community a sneak peek at your content before it goes fully public.

Make sure to include a strong call-to-action for people to check out your TikTok channel. The more eyes you can drive to it from Discord, the better!

Run Exclusive Contests, Giveaways & Events

Nothing gains attention like exclusive contests, giveaways and events!

On TikTok, promote that users have to join your Discord server to enter or participate. This incentivizes followers to engage with both platforms.

You can also do the reverse – run Discord contests that require entrants to follow you on TikTok.

Tease Exclusive Discord Content on TikTok

Let your TikTok followers know that by joining your Discord server, they can access exclusive content like:

Sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes
Access to members-only voice and text chats
Special roles, badges, and perks
The ability to engage directly with you and other fans

This FOMO factor will have them rushing to join your Discord community!

Do Collaborations & Shoutouts

Collaborate with influencers in your niche by having them promote your TikTok and Discord to their audience. You can return the favor by featuring them on your platforms.

Shoutouts are also highly effective. Task your Discord mods with giving TikTok follower shoutouts. And highlight your top Discord members in your TikTok videos.

Promote Your Discord Server in Your TikTok Bio

Your TikTok bio has prime real estate for promoting your Discord server. Include a compelling call-to-action that speaks to what users will gain by joining.

A good example: "Join my Discord for exclusive content, giveaways and chats! [Link]"

Analyze Your Traffic Sources

Use analytics to see which posts are driving the most traffic between TikTok and Discord. Double down on what works to maximize cross-promotion.

Discord has native analytics under Server Insights. For TikTok analytics, use a third-party app like SocialBook or Inbeat.
