Reply To: How to grow TikTok account

100–400 views on early posts is actually pretty normal.

TikTok usually pushes new videos to a small test audience first. If the engagement signals are strong (watch time, rewatches, comments, shares), it expands the reach. If not, it stops around a few hundred views.

A few things that usually matter more than “video quality”:

• Hook in the first 1–2 seconds
• Watch time / completion rate
• Retention curve (people staying until the end)
• Posting consistently so the algorithm learns your niche

Also keep in mind that competitor accounts may have older accounts, existing followers, or reposted content that already performed somewhere else.

Most creators see a lot of videos stuck under 500 views before something suddenly takes off.

Consistency + testing different hooks tends to matter more than the first few posts.
