    Some users comment "For you" when your video makes it on the for you page. Also, watch the view count; a video with several thousand views or tens of thousands of views might have made it on the for you page. The view count can be viewed on your profile page.

    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    To become popular in a few days, you need to post excellent quality content. Note, however, that people popular for one thing are known as "one-hit wonders" and these people may not seek the same level of growth as people who post good content regularly.

  • Question
    Is it safe for me to make a TikTok channel for my 7 year old that is public? She loves the dancing and trending challenges. I will monitor her videos and followers.
    Avanii
    Community Answer
    No, it is not safe. although you will monitoring her videos and etc., as you don't know what creepy people will do while watching her videos. Plus there are mean people on the internet that will save her videos and make fun of her. But if you do decide to make her an account, keep her account private and only let family and friends follow that account.
  • Question
    How do I have more followers if my account is private?
    Community Answer
    It's difficult, but not impossible. Since you have a private account, your videos will not show up on the front page, in search results, or anywhere else besides your own profile; therefore, it will be harder to get popular. If you want to remain private, make some good comments on public videos and maybe they'll notice you and want to send a follow request to your profile.
  • Question
    If I make my account private, will it affect the number of followers I have?
    Community Answer
    No. If you set your profile to private, all your current followers will stay, but new followers will have to send a request to view your profile.
  • Question
    So I have around 800 followers but they don't really "like" my videos. And I post different kinds of content, what am I doing wrong?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Not that many people actually view their "Following" feed. TikTok uses the accounts you follow to refine recommendations on the for you page. Your best bet is to make content that is trending and original, and be lucky that the algorithm selects your video.
  • Question
    Why do people follow me more on my other account but not on my new account?
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    If you want some of your old audience to migrate over to your new account with you, you can make a video saying that you're switching accounts, and/or put the name of your new account in your current account's bio.
  • Question
    Nobody is liking my videos even though I have at least 400 followers. I don’t do dances much because I’m not built for that. What should I do?
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    You don't have to do dances! You can try making videos about other things that you enjoy, such as makeup tutorials, time-lapses of art, or videos of your pets. The most important thing is doing things you can have fun with!
  • Question
    For some reason, my account doesn't have much followers and likes, but the videos have over 100 views. Do you know why this is happening?
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    Your videos might be showing up on other peoples' home pages, so they're viewing the videos, but they aren't liking them or following you.
  • Question
    How can I post videos regularly when I have to go to school and only have the weekend to make videos?
    Hagukanan
    Top Answerer
    On the weekends, you can make multiple videos and save the ones you don't want to post right away to your "drafts". This will save the videos to your Tik Tok account on your device, but no one will be able to see if but you. If you want to post a draft during the week, click on your drafts from your profile page and find one that you want to post.
  • Question

    Caden Wayne Ajero
    Community Answer
    It can take a few months, days, or even years to get more likes, depending on your content. There are many ways to increase the chance you will get likes comments and views - post content people like, use popular hashtags and do trending challenges (smart ones only).
  • Question
    I am not getting a single view on my video. Any advice?
    Freyr
    Top Answerer
    Try adding hashtags. More people will see it if there are hashtags on it when they are looking for the description. Doing duets will also likely get you views, as people might click the sound and see your video there.
  • Question
    I don’t get many viewers for my video. How can I get viewers for my video?
    Mori
    Community Answer
    Try to show the latest trends, or dance to popular songs. If none of that works, try to do your own thing and reach out to other users who are just like you.
  • Question
    How often should you post a video?
    Christiana
    Community Answer
    Post at least 1 per day or even 2 or 3 but make sure your videos are entertaining and well made. Also, try to interact with your followers too so that they become more active on your page.
  • Question
    When you lost a follower, how can you get them back?
    Aoife Fitzsimons
    Community Answer
    You can't, unless they choose to come back. The best thing you can do is try to stop other people from leaving. Post 1-2 times a day, and post the same content that got them to follow you.
  • Question
    I’ve been doing TikTok for 2 years and my bff has for 1 and a half years. She even has fewer videos than me but she’s more famous somehow. Do you have any advice?
    Community Answer
    Unfortunately, you can’t just "become famous" because you've "done the time." It takes more than that and people are interested in what is interesting, not length of time online. Don’t compare yourself to others and maybe try to ask her for help, to share ideas about why she is popular on the site. If she’s truly your friend, she’ll say yes! If not, don’t worry, you’ll get there eventually, provided you put in the effort to be friendly, interesting and interact with others.
  • Question
    What do I do if it says "The copyright holder has not made your song available in your region?"
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Like YouTube, TikTok has a content identification system which will automatically hide videos that contains copyrighted content. Note that copyright is about the actual content of the video, not how it is expressed. If you believe the use of your content is fair use, you can use the "report a problem" feature to give your reasons.

  • Question
    How do I convince my mother to let me have the app?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    First, ensure that you're at least 13 years old (16 years old in Ireland) so that you're in compliance with TikTok's terms of service. Then you need to show responsibility. Let your parents monitor your account for the first few months so that they can show that you are responsible. They may force you to make your account private. If your parents do not have any problems with your content, they may let you break loose a little bit.
  • Question
    Why is a 10 year old TikToker famous?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    That user is probably part of a family that is already TikTok famous; users under the age of 13 cannot legally have accounts on the platform without parental permission.
  • Question
    How do I attract followers?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    By posting content, lots of content. Aim to post at least once per day, and to only post meaningful content. Remember that videos recommended by the "For You" algorithm are videos others are likely to enjoy the most.
  • Question
    I have over 1000 followers but I still can’t go live. How do I fix this?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Live streaming is not available in all regions, but you can continue to use Instagram Live and YouTube Live to engage with followers.
  • Question
    What can I do when I'm getting views, but not getting likes?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Your videos are recommended to dozens of people. Unfortunately, there is not that much you can do to make people like your video unless they truly like the content. You could try posting videos with a more general, widespread appeal.
  • Question
    I only have 5 followers and I have been doing this for 2 months. Why is that?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Unfortunately, fame is more than just following these instructions; there is an element of luck. Some people have been on the platform for years and still have not gotten famous.
  • Question
    Do people like tutorials?
    Aasim
    Top Answerer
    Yes, they do! You can cross-post your own useful life hacks on two different social platforms, such as TikTok and YouTube. But be aware that when you release a tutorial, you are competing with several other users also creating tutorials. If posting on TikTok, keep the tutorial under 30 seconds with a link to the more detailed one on YouTube. The more helpful tutorials get lots of likes.
