By way of an update on the TikTok logo/watermark overwrite problem I’ve found a workaround, a second-best solution while continuing to seek a fix that would eliminate the problem from an uploaded video altogether. When your video is clicked on, the logo (as well as your TikTok ID) comes on momentarily, about in the middle of the page (screen) on the left hand side, then jumps to the bottom right-hand corner where it sits quivering for the duration of the video. My video was the cover of my ebook, followed by pages of text (essentially the ebook’s blurb), concluded by a page indicating the major online sites where the ebook could be purchased. The problem was, the TikTok logo overwrote the text, and for now I have solved it by reducing the number of and repositioning the words on the text pages such that they escape being overwritten.
The TikTok site is lightening fast (your video is available for viewing instantaneously) but provides no editing capability once your video is uploaded. On my first attempt, I neglected to add the hashtag, “BookTok,” and correcting the omission required deleting the video and repeating the upload from scratch. Visually the site is spare, but flawlessly functional.

Okay and what have the discernible resulting increased sales been? If the marketing is effective--what's been the effect?
