Here's what's new and what to do about it. ๐
๐ THE ALGORITHM JUST SHIFTED โ PAY ATTENTION
TikTok now shows your video to your followers FIRST. If they watch to the end and engage fast โ TikTok pushes it wider. If they don't โ it stops there.
You now need a 70% completion rate to go viral. Up from 50% last year.
The play:
โ
Hook your audience in the first 3 seconds โ no slow intros
โ
Post when YOUR followers are actually online
โ
Keep energy up the entire video โ no dead zones
โ
Don't panic at slow starts โ videos now grow over time. Give it 24-48 hours before you judge it.
