1. Be Consistent
The algorithms today determine how much engagement you will receive. TikTok is a platform that encourages multiple uploads in a day. So the more you keep posting videos the more you gain engagement. Unlike Instagram, you cannot post once or twice and think that should be enough. You need to post multiple times a day to keep gaining followers. Don’t be embarrassed if you think you’re putting way too much effort into your 15 subscribers, you will get there.
