What TikTok cares about is not the same as other social media apps. That is usually how it works.
If you are starting from zero and your account keeps getting flagged, try to figure out why. Look at each possible reason one by one and test them slowly until you find the problem.
You also need to think carefully about who you want to reach. For example, many people try to target people in the U.S., so it gets very crowded. If you don’t have something special — like a great singing voice or very unique content — your results might only get a few hundred or a few thousand views instead of much more.
This leads to the next idea, which is having a plan and not putting everything in one place. It’s good if you can use a few test accounts to try different topics and types of videos to see what people like.
I don’t really use TikTok myself, but after reading posts from people who do, these are some things I learned.
In simple words, it can work if you figure out how to make it work. The small details really matter.
