Ok, so it has now been just over 4 weeks of a constant 3 reels a day and this is the progress so far...
- Sales have increased slightly but I reduced my ad drastically from previous months and just ran lottery ads. For the 1st time I was in profit, not by much but at least a profit.
- My views are still at the 500 - 800 mark but starting to get more likes and engagement.
- I started with my "The Happy Rickshaw Driver" book and then 2 weeks in I started to running another account with my "If I Only Knew Then What I Know Now about DEMENTIA" book. Both have started to get a few more sales.
- I have found the process of creating videos a lot easier. I was using an external editing suite to add voiceovers, captions, music etc but have figured that I can do all that on TikTok and a lot quicker.
- Do I feel frustrated? Yes. Do I trust in the process? Yes. So I will continue as Davide has mentioned that the algorithm takes a month, 2 months, maybe more, but it does kick in.
My income is very nominal. In Apr my royalties were £126.38 (ad spend £233.26). In May £193.23 (£311.71). In June £255.64 (£239.57). For June, the majority of ad spend was in 1st week, before I reduced my budgets drastically. I had more sales the last 3 weeks using this method. For July I am stopping all ads and see what happens. A few sales already so fingers crossed.
Hope this helps.
