You can make the best videos on TikTok, but that won't matter unless you have an audience. This wikiHow will show you tips on how to increase views on TikTok.

Steps

1
Set up a complete profile. An account with a complete profile is more likely to get followers than a profile that lacks information.^{[1]

- Make sure your profile reflects what you post. When people look at your profile and see pictures of cats, they expect videos of cats and will follow you with that expectation. If you have a profile of cats but post videos of skateboard tricks, you will most likely lose credibility and followers.
2
Use hashtags effectively. When you post a video that features a cat and cucumber, make sure you use the correct hashtags. If you correctly used hashtags, your video should appear in the search results for people who search for "cats."

3
Try to make original videos. Since many TikTok users lip-sync to popular songs, an original video will stand out. But don't make videos that are all the same, since that can get boring.
4
Use the right music. You have the option to use a clip of music in every TikTok video, and choosing the right music can either increase or decrease its probability of being liked. If your video is funny, don't use a sad song.
5
Upload high-quality videos. High-quality videos are most likely to be seen and appreciated by other TikTok users. They are also more likely to share your videos with others.
6
Upload a video at least once a day. Your videos are more likely to be seen and shared if you are active on TikTok. Even if you aren't getting a lot of views, keep uploading.
7
Interact on the platform. Engage in your followers and they are more likely to promote you to their friends.
- Leave comments on other TikTok videos. People will most likely go to your account page if they see that you comment frequently.
8
Connect with other social media. If you link your TikTok account with Facebook, your uploaded video is shared to more places and more people.
9
Collaborate with other people. If you work in a video with a popular TikTok video producer who has his own following, you are more likely to get views and follows from that crowd.

Use the hashtag #fyp (for you page). This will likely put you on someone's for you page and if you're lucky, they'll follow you.

There's a good chance you're shadow banned. This may have happened because someone 'spam liked' your videos. Don't be too worried, it will go away, just try to get some people to share your videos, as then they'll be seen by more people, and the shadow ban will stop eventually.
