TikTok's parent company ByteDance is getting into the publishing business. On the one hand, it could totally work, biblioracle writes. One thing I do know about books is that the most powerful driver of sales always will be word-of-mouth.

Books that are trending on TikTok are displayed at a Barnes & Noble book store in New York in June 2023. TikTok owner ByteDance is launching a publishing company.Well, it’s ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok that is getting into the publishing business. ByteDance is apparently distressed that it has a vehicle capable of minting bestsellers but no direct way to profit from this roaring engine of book commerce.

On the one hand, it could totally work. One thing I do know about books is that the most powerful driver of sales always has been and always will be word-of-mouth.

The legions of “CoHorts” who post videos of themselves crying until the snot flows after going through the emotional wringer of one of Hoover’s books are experiencing a genuine passion they feel compelled to express.

Sure, ByteDance has a decided advantage in its ability to attract eyeballs, but with books, that’s only part of the game.
