right? i have a sports edits account and the edits that make me 5 minutes to make get way more views than ones that take 30 minutes to an hour to make.
Thank you for this! I could definitely do to niche down a bit, but I think I’m dealing with the test of commitment. I gained 400k+ followers rapidly, views between 60k and millions, and suddenly I’m getting 1000-10,000 only. No guideline violations, and my followers are still eager for content. It was super sudden too. I left the creator fund to rule that out as well. Your content is helping me immensely. Binging your channel!
Hey, do you have an update on this? Have you passed that commitment test? I’m going through it but don’t know how long to keep pursuing this account :( would love to hear your experience
Same! Did this happen around February? Do you still get 'fyp %" in your analytics? Mine went from "fyp 90%" "followers 8%" & "profile 2%" then it went to JUST "followers" & "profile" in Feb and every vid after that has not hit the fyp at all. Same for you? What do you think happened?
That was a super useful video, mate. People need to be aware of these reasons in order to solve their issues and hopefully see their video get viral. That was a great research and explanation of the analytics!
I love your videos, man. Even if you've already talked about a topic, you always manage to get it in with a more up to date and new information. So good! 👍
All your videos are gold! Thank you so much for all the time you put in the research and creating these! I've been part of the creator fund since January, I've had some videos still reach a decent amount but none have preformed really great since. I am gonna try to leave the creator fund (like your optional suggestion) and repost a recent video that is similar in structure to my viral videos, I am curious to see what will happen!
Another fantastic video Jo, thanks my brother! I strongly believe many people are 'stuck' with their follower growth because they post what they want, rather than what their so-called niche followed for in the first place.
Before the update I was reaching an international audience but now I am restricted to only my country and current followers... is this part of the update or is there a way to get out of this situation and hit an international audience again?
Already do all of this. Everything has been consistently high quality and entertaining, just randomly shadowbanned. Views suddenly went from 250k, 30k, 60k, 120k, 24, 17, 0, 7. Performance and retention isn’t an issue, tiktok just isn’t putting anything on the FYP. This isn’t a “200 view jail bad content” thing, especially when posting them on RU-vid shorts performance hasn’t change
Great video man! I have a question if just my first video had a good engagement then I stop to upload and take a break, you recommend me to delete this account and upload the new TikToks to a new account? I don’t really care to lose the few followers I have. Thank you man hope you can help me
You said in point 1 - taking a hiatus. Teaching during this crazy pandemic stunk. My last video several months ago had over 11k views (I’m a small creator). After school let out, I did a recreation of The Handmaid’s Tale. It flopped with less than 150 views bc I guess TikTok thinks I’ve died. What do I do now?
Hey man I appreciate how much you elaborate you’re such a good explainer. I’m starting an account do you think it’s okay to just experiment with videos ? My main niche is definitely going to fashion / life advice.
My thing is I'm getting on the FYP , I see 70-85% for you on my analytics but I'm still not getting over 1000 views with 18.2k followers .. my engagement is always high too, it's almost like it's just not meant to be
I also had a affect on my account after leaving the fund after I left my Tiktok video exploded to 6.7 million views and 100k followers the fund definitely have a effect on your accounts but I’m grateful for what happen and will grind no matter what
Hey can you do a video on how to get your actual views up? A lot of creators are doing great for a month and then notice a huge drop. Since brands base their fees on average views over the past 30 days, what can you do to increase views of each video.
If you have a video under review for more then a week should you private it or delete it? Or leave it up there? and would be safe to try and re-uploading it? Thanks in advance if you answer and keep up the great content❤️
Because we're biased as a society so when we see creators making less traditional vids that don't fit our bias, the algorithm simply confirms and perpetuates that bias. :)
Sometimes, I do believe it does. Though, there are many unconventional viral videos that come to light that surprise me. I do believe there’s an agenda behind TikTok stragically, but that’s a conversation for another time. 😉
@@TheJosephTodd Would love to hear your thoughts on it. I just made a vid about this subject (btw I'm @just_money1 on Tok; I'll find you) because it's endlessly frustrating seeing males in the same space (money) just killing it. If I were a man talking money, I'd have 4M followers, not 40K followers. :/
Yeah, that's coming soon! I've been working on a profile that I'll be revealing coming soon, with some real examples of my own viral videos as part of a series. Stay tuned! :)
Hi Doug, currently the Let's Talk TikTok coaching program is closed due to high demand for my time, but you might consider checking out our TikTok Creator Pro community (link in description), I do live Q&A calls in the group, we have a library of exclusive content, and a super supportive community that you can always bounce ideas off of. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video! :)
Most of my videos have a high fyp ratio, over 80%, but I think it just dies after a day anyway. That way, percentage wise, it doesn't look like I'm shadow banned at all, but reach just always hits a wall at about 180-250 views. People maybe just find my content boring.
I almost gave up... Getting low views all the time.. You've just answered all my questions. Thanks a lot. THE BEST TIKTOK UPDATE CHANNEL 🙏🏿 If you haven't subscribed then you're missing out.
What if you have over 100k and your in the other one that’s let’s you Collab with brands? Would you recommend potentially leaving that one? I am not in the creator fund but I am in that one.
It's funny. I run a TikTok account and after every viral post, they either ban my next post and claim ridiculous community guidelines infringements or heavily shadow ban me. 2-3 post later another viral post and the cycle continues.
Hi, I did the a/b split testing by creating another account, and there was a ton of FYP exposure. However, I do not want to give up on my original account, as there never was any violations, and also that it sucks to restart. What should i do? It has been 3 months since my original account has been limited
@@lynethjoy hi thanks for asking, in the end I just restarted with the new acc. Kind of strange, any account created with an email limits exposure. But when I create it with my mobile number(the new acc) it doesn’t! Hope this helps!
What about strategies for singers, some of these actions aren’t curated for people who only post content of them singing or performing with their vocals
Omg so thanks to you ive just realised why i had such low views atm. I hit 80% more views in just 1 day. Which makes sense now as to why i had low views the next week. And now getting back to normal. Wow thanks finally a good info
@@sunnymated8554 i have no idea, just saying what the reasons might be. Upgrade to creator if you havent. And dont do my mistake, no follow trains. If you get viewers who arent interested in your content then you only depend on the people on the fyp. Which is hard.
@@sunnymated8554 then wait for a late delay, 3 videos a day but carefull with time frames. If u post 3 a day make sure its been 24 hrs difference or you risk exposing 6 videos in 24 hr frame which the new algorithm doesnt like. As long as you dont get fake follows you will be fine, just be patient. And add hooks to get better watch time. Check analytics of the first videos that did well and compare to those which werent that great. See what youve done differentlly and try to imply it.
I have 12k followers and I used to have 20k likes for every post . But than suddenly my likes kept going down and down till 20 likes 😭 :( I think because I kept deleting my videos like u said . Ow how can I fix it
What do you think about people who go viral for saying controversial things that just barely don't violate the community guidelines? Do you think this is a strategy that works well? I just don't like coming up with clickbait things to say because it feels not genuine.
Do you think a username (@handle) makes a difference for the algorithm at all? Right now I use my full name, but I’m in the entertainment niche, and I’m wondering more and more if I should switch to a more catchy name that has to do with my niche? Additionally, how can I keep my full name from being used in case I want to switch back at some point?
how long does the shadowban last for? its been a month for me with no FYP exposure. I have done what youre suggesting and its not working. tiktok does not answer either. this is frustrating
I was getting a lot of views on my videos and all of a sudden nothing. The only thing I can think of is that I download RU-vid shorts and use those on my TikTok account- and it’s has the RU-vid logo on it. Would that matter? Thanks! 😊
I’ve been shadowban For 3 weeks because a video I posted got reported. Do you think it will be back to normal ? Have you seen other cases where it goes back to normal ? It’s frustrating
Thanks so much Joseph! I had one video get to 50K (my most random, spontaneous one lol) but since then have been struggling to get past 1K and lately anything past 200 views...) I also got 2 community guideline violations (one for having Grammar Nazi in my title lol) so I'm definitely wondering if TikTok has been "punishing me". But I also have less than 50 videos.... I'm thinking of testing with a new account. How many more videos should I put out on my current account (currently at 39) before I try with a new one? Thanks again!
Great video! So I went from blowing up having tens of thousands of views a day, 10million in 30 days. Grew to over 20k followers and literally the last month I have seen nothing. I’ve been doing tests and my main account isn’t getting on the FYP at all. I created a second account and it’s getting over 90% promotion in the FYP. I’m pretty sure I’ve been shadowbanned or limited but TikTok won’t let me know why…what should I do?
@@ebifriedgaming yeah, so TikTok finally emailed me and said my account has been reinstated but when I tested it with posting some videos they also never were showed in the FYP. I’m going to just start over unfortunately. Thanks for asking! Are you having similar issues?
@@EforExplicitPodcast Aw no that's not what I wanted to hear! Yeah iI'm having the same issue, I'm goonna try have a break for 2 weeks and see what happens after that... otherwise new account,,, but even a new account is hard to start up!
My account is 1 year old, and it has 4k followers , but it has never done well , I don’t get views, can I delete all the post and start posting again , please help me make a correction
Just came across this video as my account has tanked since the new year so I wonder if the new algorithm has changed how it selects what it puts in the fyp as all my vids used to get on there and niw its just 1 in 10 vids at best. So frustrating and cant figure it out 🙁
I have two accounts, one for personal and one for my content I create and my videos aren't making it to the FYP and views/likes took a massive dip today, I liked one of my videos on my personal account without knowing it was a bad thing apparently? I have well over 50 videos out and I maybe in passing liked 3-4 over the last 4+ weeks Does this go away and will things normalize eventually?
I deleted a lot of tik toks at once not knowing that it would cause damage and now all my videos flop :( is there a way to fix it ? Should i just wait and then start posting again after a while ?
Just started tiktok 3 days ago and 40 out of 50 had watch time longer than video. This algorithm really works right? like you just have to do the right stuff and tik tok handles the rest?... by the way I slipped one of your videos in the background of a tok
Hi joseph! I used to get on the foryou page a lot and my 5 last videos are not getting on the fyp, maybe it’s because i deleted a video like you said, how can I fix it?
I am a cosplay tiktoker and my videos get mass reported all the time by religious folks who don't like my demon cosplays. Is there any way to overcome unjustified mass reporting?
All the time videos are deleted mistakenly for “violating the guidelines”. Then they restored them. They blocked temporarily because of “this”. How can I avoid sending an appeal all the time and waiting until they restore content?
I've posted 10 over a week and straight gave up today. Not a single one of my videos got any views, not even my own views counted. Must be a glitch or something this is ridiculous.
