    To answer your question, pushing through low likes is just realizing that your first few months are gonna fail. Even if you think you know the algorithm, its probably not true if you’re getting only a few likes(this includes me btw)

    Taking things seriously means your wanting to improve.

    Listen the biggest mistake is your mindset. First of all, tiktok is one of the best algorithms. It’s one of the easiest places to get likes (don’t think of this as a bad thing, think of this as an opportunity to grow). Secondly, don’t ever compare to other people who you think has effortless clips. Even if they are effortless, by comparing yourself to them, your not really trying to learn, your just putting down yourself and lowering your morale. You need to see what made that video click compared to yours that didnt? Was it just so stupid it was funny, or maybe its something more deep like their hook was weirdly enticing.

    You genuinely don’t need to spend for likes if your actually good at creating a call to action. There are people saying to be original or copy others. In my experience, it’s good to copy others and then add a new spin to your niche.

    (also just in case your in the art community. Don’t try to do ART in tiktok unless you’re entertaining, if you want to purely just post art its better to do it in INSTAGRAM)

    Obviously im not a professional and im still a small creator so you can take my advice with a grain of salt(although i will fight and advocate for the mindset thing).

    EDIT: Btw im also a small creator but I after 1.5 months of straight doodoo numbers and 3 accounts with different niches I average around 5-50k views this week(last 5 videos got 400k views, 2.4k, 45k, 177k and 6k) so I do definitely get the struggle of sudden low views and likes for reaosns im still researching and not sure about. Im determined to make that to an average of 100k views per video consistently so im still trying to improve until now
