I was finally starting to get momentum and get past 300 views and then my last two videos got 20-30 views.
I understand not every video is going to be successful, but usually they get about 200 by default. Why are my last two stalling out at a fraction of that? Anybody else have an issue like this?
The algorithm changed again I think, happens to everyone in waves.
I'd put the last two videos next to the ones that hit 300 and look for what changed, not what the algorithm did. Usually it's something small.
Things worth checking:
I wouldn't delete or repost them straight away. Make the next one closer to your best performer and see if the numbers bounce back.

Check each video's analytics for a notice saying it is ineligible for recommendations. If there is one, it should give a reason and an appeal option. The view count alone cannot tell you what caused the drop.
tbh two dips in a row after a 300 view video is usually just the test batch going cold, not a penalty. i stopped sweating it and just post more often, i batch the clips and use easyviral for the moving scenes and it auto-posts to tiktok/ig/yt. also try tightening the first 2 seconds, that's what usually decides if it gets pushed past the first 200
Hey all, I own a business that involves many clients that promote their product, art or website with TikTok (also Instagram, Youtube and Facebook). I want to offer them a way to post their content, or to get content created and posted for them on existing TikTok pages. Basically you got pages in a specific theme (sport, anime, cinema, culture, memes...) and you rent it for a specific period of time. You get paid every month, and all you have to do is basically connecting the account once to our system. You can opt-out anytime you want, you keep the full ownership of the account. That's basically a way to monetize your pages passively. For now I'm doing it myself with my own pages (3 tiktok pages with 500 to 3k followers, and 1 6k subscribers Youtube channel), I made around $800 renting these for less than a month. If someone is interested, please comment or DM!
I've been absolutely obsessed with short form content for the last two years. Like people have staged actual interventions about my health level of obsessed. I'm talking 11-14 hour days breaking down what separates successful videos from failures, experimenting with different hook variations, rewriting scripts until my brain hurts, testing every editing approach I could possibly get my hands on. Why this level of obsession? Because I'm absolutely certain short form video is the backbone of everything right now. Growing followers, selling anything, generating opportunities, creating brands from nothing. Every part of it depends on whether you can hold someone's attention for 30 seconds. But here's what nearly made me quit entirely: despite the constant daily grind, nothing was hitting. I'd pour 7-8 hours into crafting one video only to watch it crash at 300 views. Tried every tactic from every person claiming to have figured it out. Bought their courses. Applied their "proven" methods. Still going nowhere. I seriously started thinking maybe I'm just not the type of person who can make this work. Like maybe there's some fundamental ability I'm completely lacking. Then something clicked. I'm grinding constantly, but I'm operating completely blind. I don't actually know what's broken. I'm essentially just trying random things hoping something eventually works. So I stopped hunting for some mythical viral code and started analyzing actual data. Analyzed my last 50 videos second by second, documented every retention drop, and discovered 5 consistent patterns that were systematically killing my performance: 1. **Vague mysterious hooks are totally invisible** "This will transform you..." gets scrolled past every time. But "I used resistance bands for 55 days and my shoulder mobility actually decreased" stops people mid scroll. Specific concrete details destroy vague teasing without exception. 2. **Seconds 5-7 are where everything gets decided** Most viewers leave between 4-7 seconds if you haven't proven it's worth watching. I was creating slow buildups like a complete amateur. Now my strongest visual or most compelling number arrives exactly at second 5. That's where the hook that genuinely holds people. 3. **Any gap beyond 1 second absolutely kills your retention** Tracked this obsessively, anything past 1.2 seconds makes people think the video stopped. What feels like natural comfortable pacing to you reads as complete dead time to someone scrolling. Cut significantly tighter than feels normal. 4. **Visual variety is absolutely critical** If nothing changes on screen for more than 3 seconds, attention vanishes without warning. I started constantly rotating camera angles, cutting to b-roll, moving text placement, literally anything to maintain constant visual movement. Went from losing 50% at the halfway mark to keeping 70%. 5. **Rewatch rate is dramatically more important than most people realize** Videos people watch more than once get pushed exponentially harder by the algorithm. Started planting subtle details that aren't obvious first viewing, editing faster, adding elements worth discovering on rewatch. Rewatch percentage jumped from 8% to 31% and reach went completely through the roof. Honestly the biggest shift was abandoning all guesswork and actually measuring what was happening at every second. Came across this one app that goes way beyond showing where people drop off, it literally tells you why and exactly how to correct it. That's when everything transformed. Went from averaging 300 views to hitting 18k in about 4 weeks. Regular analytics show you people are leaving. This one shows the exact second, the actual reason, and what to adjust before your next post. If you're uploading consistently but stuck below 1k views, your content isn't the problem. You just don't know what's genuinely working versus what you assume is working. Listen, I'm sharing this because breaking through was honestly one of the hardest things I've tackled. I really wish someone had just explained exactly what needed fixing when I was stuck there. Would have saved months of confusion and doubt. So that's what I'm doing now for anyone who needs it.
Scrolling and reading people's bio on Linkedin, Facebook and some here Amazing how many "coaches", "life coaches", business coach, leadership coach, career coach, mindset coach, sales coach, branding coach, social media coach, health and wellness coach. Where did all these people get qualified to be a "coach"? Life experience? or sounded good on the Bio?
So I've been applying for almost 2 weeks now, and I still can't get to the next stage. And i think my portfolio is the problem. If you have time, pls check my portfolio and tell me whats wrong and whats needed to be improved. Here's my portfolio: [https://portfolio-smm-git-main-220000001074s-projects.vercel.app/](https://portfolio-smm-git-main-220000001074s-projects.vercel.app/)
Basically at this point, I don’t know how much brands are willing to pay. How do other creators charge? I want to know, I’m very curious. I have about 48k followers, with good reach.. almost 150-300k views per reel and i make food recipes content. Can someone help me with this? Agencies don’t wanna pay even half of the rates. It’s really getting difficult to make money here 😭
