Here are 3 key points from the transcript:

 1. Consistency is crucial for success on TikTok. Wave emphasizes that you need to post regularly, at least 1-2 videos per day or 5 per week, to see results. Inconsistent posting will not perform well.

 2. TikTok is like a search engine, so creating educational, informative content that answers your audience's questions and problems is important. This helps position you as an authority in your niche.

 3. Authenticity is highly valued on TikTok. Wave advises against overly polished, rehearsed content. Instead, she recommends breaking up talking head videos into shorter, more natural segments to keep viewers engaged.
