“Hi! I recently started posting health and nutrition videos on instagram. I am a very attractive girl with a good nutrition and medical background and recently moved to New York. I created an instagram and TikTok account but people from my city, back home, started following me on the new account so I archived everything and made a new account, on a new phone and a new email, so no one from home can track me 😂 but the thing is now I have 0 views on all my videos (on the other account I was reachi”

“I'm getting 2.5K views on Instagram. Should I create a Steam page now? I posted 3 videos, one per day , about my indie co-op game. So far, all my Instagram posts are getting around 2.5K views , YouTube videos around 1.5K views , and TikTok 300+ views . I'm wondering if this is a good enough signal to create the Steam page and start collecting wishlists. For those who have released games on Steam, when do you think is the best time to create the Steam page? Should I do it now while I'”
“I’ve created total separate accounts for my niche, separate phone, number, everything. I have trouble gaining any followers on Insta. Is there a trick to how much you should post and when? Engagement tricks? I’ve had business profiles before that are totally unrelated and I felt that the growth was extremely extremely slow. Is it just constantly being online and posting several times a day and engaging constantly? (Which is fine if that’s what it takes!) I have batch SFW photos already and my OF”
“Ok late night vents. Now I have significantly less views per reel than when I had 10 times less followers. Last year when I just started posting and had around 400-500 followers, I had a period where every single one of my video got more than 10K views. Then this May to Aug, I had an insane speed run with my signature series, with views ranging from 50K minimum to as high as 200K. I now stand at 4.5K followers. Then starting from September, my views tanked on average. I stayed consistent with my”
“I see alot of talking about logistics of where to put the link and etc. But I don’t see much on how to actually build a following on IG/Tiktok. Twitter and Reddit have been pretty straight forward with their algorithms (besides the constant shadow banning on Twitter) and I’ve been able to get a decent following there. But on Instagram and TikTok I really struggle to launch things. If anyone has resources on what I should read I would really appreciate it! I would like to learn more about how to”
“Hi everyone, I have recently started posting on my account but inspite of having few followers on instagram , being based on the opposite side of the world, and content not being catered to that audience. My videos are still getting recommended and I feel like it's killing a lot of my reach because I have talked to friends who are also content creators who make similar content and started at the same time as me but have a better reach with the audience I wanna cater. Is there anyway I can st”
“nah you don't to but it helps a ton if you want the algorithm to take you seriously from day one basically just use the account like a normal person for a week or two before pushing product, scroll, like stuff, post a couple random pics, follow some accounts in your niche”

“Guys I have an Instagram account with 1 lakh followers and reach of 30m+. I post reaction videos on it but now I want to I uploaded my original funny content on it and I also uploaded some videos.But it got much fewer views than my reaction videos.And I am not even earning from reaction views.Neither on Instagram nor on Facebook because that is not in the rules. The rules say that you should post your content in which your face is visible more.Please tell me what should I do, now I have to post”
“hi all! I recently started social media, and I’ve accumulated 57k followers on TikTok and 7k on instagram. TikTok I’ve been posting for roughly 3 months, and average 400-600k views a month, and have fantastic comment rates. instagram has been slower, but I started cross-posting only about 3 weeks ago and have 7k followers. im totally new to this world, and have no idea when or how to reach out to brands for sponsorships. I was planning to wait until I launched my longer form content next month (”
“I started a brand-new Instagram page at zero followers and posted AI videos every day for a week. I was also posting on TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. The gap between them surprised me. At my day-eight update: • Instagram: 1,180 followers. My top reels had 777K, 497K, and 62K views. • TikTok: 5 new followers. Nothing passed 1,000 views. • YouTube: Almost 300 new subscribers. My best Short reached 40K views, but most stalled around 1,000. • Facebook: My videos didn't even break 50 views. The”

“I'd look at their last 20 posts, not just the one that found its way onto your feed. If most got 500 views and one got 5 million, copying that one clip gives you a pretty misleading benchmark. Also worth reading the comments: are people asking about the product, or just laughing at the video?”
Absolutely brilliant. I’ve never thought of it this way and really appreciate your helpful perspective!! Thank you so much!
“The format is repeatable, the outcome isn't. Tiny changes in the first frame, topic, or delivery can change watch time a lot. I'd study shares per view and make ten new angles with real people instead of cloning the same clip.”
“it's mostly the algorithm doing weird waves not pure luck but not exactly skill either, one day your reel hits a sweet spot with watch time and shares and next day identical thing dies”
“url for your youtube page in the bio, then in the short you can write "link in bio for full video" or something like that, but i would suggest linking instagram with a facebook account so you can login to the shared account, then when you post it goes to facebook and instagram at the same time.”

“okay this is actually getting weird now 1.5 months ago i had around 4k followers. 4k i was genuinely happy about it also like if i gained 100 followers in a day i’d be checking insights 15 times thinking “haan bhai… kuch toh ho raha hai” and now somehow… 700k-800k people are following me ????? bro i still haven’t processed 10k properly the crazy part is i didn’t even have some big plan. no “30 days to 1 million followers” strategy. no secret algorithm. no social media guru sitting behind me. i w”
