How to Duet on TikTok

By Rachel Pedersen

In this article I’m going to break down exactly how to duet on TikTok so you can start taking advantage of trends and fueling your growth!

So, the question is: How do I actually duet on TikTok? Well first, there are the tactical steps for duetting. But what most people don’t realize is that dueting videos on TikTok is an under-utilized strategy for boosting your own growth and engagement with followers. If you find popular clips then by adding yourself into them not only will this give the original content creators more views but gives you new viewers as well!

People ask me all the time how they can duet when using TikTok so here are the tactical steps and a bonus growth strategy I’ve learned from personal experience and watching other successful TikTokers who have made their way up through social media platforms!

Step by Step How To Duet On TikTok

  1. Open the TikTok app – To use the app, you need to open it first. To do that, find it on your home screen and then tap on TikTok. Make sure you’re logged in.
  2. Find the video you want to duet – One of the best ways to find a video that you want to duet is by scrolling through the for you page (also know as the FYP). You can duet any video that has duets turned on!
  3. Tap the arrow on the right side of the screen – Tapping the arrow on the right side of your screen will open a new menu. With several rows of options. The grey/white bubbles have the duet option available (if duets are turned on for the video).
  4. Click “duet” if the option is available – If the duet option is greyed out, and unable to be clicked on, duets are turned off. If you can click on the duet option, you’ve got yourself a video to duet! This is fun.
  5. Record your duet – You can record yourself, your scenery, a note, another video – any of these can make acceptable duets. You can also add text to the video, as well as adding text to the caption and the hashtags.
  6. Use headphones if you want to use your voice in the duet – Make sure that you use headphones if you want to use your voice in the duet because it is difficult for other people to hear you otherwise.
  7. Super growth strategy: duet videos that are going viral already – One of the strategies that helped me grow my channel was duet videos. Find videos that are already starting to go viral, and add your own spin to it with a duet for massive views!

These tend to get a lot of attention and they’re easy to make, since you don’t need fancy ideas or editing!

I’ve been asked many times how to duet on TikTok, so I wanted to provide some tips for beginners.

when i say something mildly concerning and they go when i say something mildly concerning and they go darker, i’m like oh good you’re my people.
A few people noticed I wasn’t wearing my wedding r A few people noticed I wasn’t wearing my wedding ring in some recent videos, and whenever that happens, it tends to bring out a whole wave of theories.

Sometimes it’s the ring.

Sometimes it’s because I haven’t posted Poul in a minute.

Sometimes the internet just really loves a potential storyline. 

But real life is usually a lot less dramatic than people imagine.

There are a lot of parts of my life I share online, and there are also parts I protect a little more carefully.

My marriage is one of the most precious things in my life, so I don’t always feel the need to showcase it for the internet in order for it to be real.

That said, I do understand why people notice little things!

So here’s the very unexciting truth.

I love my ring. I really do. But I’ve lost enough weight since Poul gave it to me that it falls off, and when I’m working with my hands, with the horses, with the dog, or doing anything where it could slip or catch, I take it off. That’s it.

I have an irrational fear of degloving. 

So I take it off except for fancy events.

And since we’re here, I’ll say this too.

Poul is one of the most consistent people I have ever known. Steady, thoughtful, grounded, deeply talented, and the kind of person who does not need an audience to be extraordinary. Some of the best parts of our life happen off camera anyway.

So no, I do not post every moment.
And no, I do not always wear my ring while working.

But I am very loved, very grateful, and very glad I married him fast. ❤️

High paying clients are not rare. They’re just al High paying clients are not rare.

They’re just allergic to chaos.

Most freelancers are operating with what I call the hope pipeline.

Post something.
Pray someone sees it.
Pitch in the DMs.
Get ghosted.

Repeat.

That is not a pipeline.
That’s emotional cardio.

If you want higher paying clients, the question is simpler than people think:

Do you have one place that reliably produces leads every week?

Or are you hoping social media magically delivers them.

There are really only three sources that consistently work:

Facebook groups
LinkedIn opportunities
Magnetic content

But the trick is not where people look.

It’s how you show up.

Example.

Someone posts in a Facebook group:

“Looking for someone who can help with this.”

Most freelancers reply with the same thing.

“I can help.”

Which translates to:
“I have no proof but please choose me.”

Instead:

“I helped a client get this result. Happy to share what we did if it helps.”

Now you look like evidence.

LinkedIn works the same way.

Most people apply like job seekers.

The winners show up like partners.

They ask:

What outcome are they actually hiring for?

Not what title they posted.

And content?

Content is the quiet funnel most people ignore.

One platform.
One clear promise.
Micro case studies.
Useful breakdowns.

People don’t buy portfolios.

They buy confidence.

Clients are not paying for hours.

They’re paying for clarity.

Build a weekly pipeline and something interesting happens.

Your price stops being a debate.

Because the right people already decided you’re the obvious choice.

Before I had kids, I had a lot of very confident p Before I had kids, I had a lot of very confident parenting theories. 😂

You know the kind.

My kids will never eat processed food.
They’ll always sleep on schedule.
They’ll always behave in public.
I’ll always be calm, patient, and prepared.

And then… I actually had kids.

And what I realized pretty quickly is that parenting isn’t about perfectly executing a set of ideals. It’s about learning the actual humans in front of you.

Some days we eat really well.
Some days dinner is whatever gets everyone fed and back to peaceful again.
Some days routines work beautifully.
Some days everyone is tired and we give each other a little grace.

My goal now isn’t perfection.

My goal is balance.

To love my kids well. ❤️
To understand who they are.
To equip them with what they need to grow into strong, kind, capable humans.

That means teaching them.
Listening to them.
Protecting them.
And sometimes letting the standards breathe a little when life calls for it.

Turns out the most important part of parenting wasn’t the rules I imagined beforehand.

It was the relationship.

And that part matters a whole lot more than perfect everyhing.

If you think the algorithm is personally attacking If you think the algorithm is personally attacking you… we need to talk.

Because that story is comforting.

If it’s the algorithm’s fault, you’re helpless.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to change.

Just bad luck.

But platforms are not emotional.
They’re not petty.
They’re not sitting there going “hmm yes let’s suppress Rachel today.”

They want one thing.

People staying longer.

That’s it.

Which means every post is being judged on one brutal metric:

Did people stop… or did they scroll.

That’s the whole game.

Not follower count.
Not hashtags.
Not the moon phase or whatever theory people are testing this week.

Attention.

Here’s the uncomfortable diagnostic question I ask when someone says “the algorithm hates me.”

Does your content make people stop
or does it make them keep scrolling

Be honest.

Because most of the time the issue isn’t reach.

It’s the first two seconds.

Attention fatigue is real.
Everyone has seen the same advice a thousand times.

Which means if the topic is basic, the angle can’t be.

This is where people get lazy.

They say “my niche is boring.”

No.

Your framing is boring.

Three levers fix most attention problems:

A visual pattern interrupt
An unexpected angle on a common topic
Or a promise that opens a curiosity loop

That’s it.

Stop chasing algorithm tricks.

Win the first impression.
Hold attention.

The platform will do what it always does…

push what people refuse to skip.
