  • What is the latest on reliability of TikTok video metrics?

    From the very start people seemed to get numbers so high that they might be too good to be true. Also, these numbers drop off extremely quick once an account reaches 5 or 6 posts.

    Is there any concrete evidence yet that these numbers are inflated or of the opposite?

    The way I have now picked up, it seems like the Tik Tok algorithm pushes the video of a user to as many people as possible and then if there is not enough interest, that user gets deprioritized. So the goal would then be to start off with great videos and maintain that standard. If your video views drop off, then you have not achieved in maintaining interest. Close the account, start a new one and start all over again. Take note, however, I am not a user of Tik Tok so I would not know if this would work. I just read all the comments with regard to social media and this is my impression.

    It’s my understanding that they will send it to a certain number of followers, test for engagement. After xx views, it will be held for review. Sent to a large group, test for engagement. and so on with another two or three reviews to ensure content is appropriate for promotion.

    Tik Tok is very good for getting started and is much easier to grow quickly. If your content is consistently good you can gain a few million followers within a few months. I think your first few videos are critical as they determine hidden tags placed on your account and how much traffic future content will get.

    As with any social media platform, they care about engagement. Keeping people watching for as long as possible. Tik Tok seems to prioritise new creators and not many can last long term on the platform.
