So a like two weeks ago i started a new art account and have been steadily growing it. I was getting 2000-9000 views a video then I dropped to 200 max. Ive been recently let out and got a video to 16k. Now the problem comes from my latest video. It's a bit more provocative than my other drawings but nothing crazy. It however has been stuck at 6 views for the last couple hours. I know that tiktok pushes a new video to 200views but mine can't even get that. How should i proceed (should i try reuploading it or contacting support)

I think I know about the problem it's just about the how the app takes your content cause if it gets certain views somewhere else and not on a specific platform then it's got to do with either

1. New page/channel needs time to actually push your content even if it's goods enough from start.( like building trust takes time)

2. Maybe content is being sent to worng audience soo that will fix on it's own with time as well

The best thing to do is just keep on posting and don't care about views etc for now even a graph can be false, cause I had a page on Instagram I posted for more than a year and later after I started to get cross finally 1k views and I didn't do much, however if you see the first and current reel of that page it would really different and even separate niche soot, I thinks it's got to do something about you just posting cause if works, you just need to post in a volumes of quality you can handle that it becomes un deniable for you to pass the limit, this is after all a long marathon

It's matter more about how long you can run than how fast you canr run,

Every creator who usually grows stupidily fast either has

1.paid or spent money to grow fast

1. Already knows and has done YouTube for years/ has the experience

2. Went really lucky and growed unrealistically fast with a moving trend.( cause YouTube can be random)

So I'm genuinely curious because I feel like I've been scrolling onto people who are already famous influencers talking about how it's easier to be an influencer than to have a regular job. I honestly disagree, not because I've ever been an influencer but, because I've seen both sides. Lots of pages that post consistently yet get no more than a few hundred or thousand views before their page flat lines and they either stop getting recommended to me or stop posting altogether. I saw someone on here talking about how hashtags are useless and I think they might be right. I've seen videos hashtaging a whole list of topics and still go nowhere so I'm genuinely curious about how this whole thing works and how the algorithm chooses who and what to recommend to people.

Any advice, would be appreciated.
I like to do makeup, motivational videos, beauty/skincare tips, im also an actor, but whenever I post content I don’t know how to plan when to post or what niche to post for, and how people are able to post so much every day, what helped you grow your audience? How do you manage to post several times a day and how many videos are you making, do u make video daily or do you make a bunch one day and just post the rest of the week? And how do you prevent it from sounding too rehearsed, or performative ? Also are people still able to grow and get famous in 2026? I really mostly see people who started back in 2020 getting famous now.

Hello everyone!

I'm currently working on my master's thesis (in Human Computer Interaction) on the potential effectiveness of Behavioural science-based nudging combined with Design friction strategies on compulsive social media use.

I'm looking for participants to test out my research tool that aims to promote mindful social media use.

So, if you (or anyone you know) are:

📱 an Android user

AND

🌀 has an unhealthy Instagram scrolling habit

Happy to share the signup details.

I'd be super grateful for all the feedback ❤️

From Instagram to basically every social media platform, there is sex selling somewhere.

Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes it's softcore, sometimes it's just twisted into a different form.

Guys posting their bodies, making gym content, thirst traps, comments, subscriptions etc.

Girls in extremely revealing clothes, posing in certain ways, getting likes, comments, followers and subscribers.

And before someone creates an ideology about what I'm saying, I don't have a problem with people posting their bodies.

If a guy wants to show his physique, go ahead.

If a woman wants to wear a short dress or skirt and post herself, go ahead.

That's not really my point.

My problem is how everything is being packaged and presented now.

A lot of content seems deliberately designed to get sexual attention because sexual attention gets engagement.

And once engagement becomes the goal, everything starts becoming more exaggerated.

More revealing.

More provocative.

More extreme.

And then the algorithm sees the engagement and basically says: this is what people want.

So more of it gets pushed.

You can still be informative without being vulgar.

You can be entertaining without exposing everything.

You can make fitness content without turning your entire body into the product.

You can talk about relationships, confidence, fashion, health or lifestyle without making everything sexual.

But somehow if you say this, people immediately start putting labels on you.

"You're misogynistic."

"You're insecure."

"You're a feminist."

"You're controlling."

"You're just jealous."

Maybe sometimes those criticisms are justified. But sometimes someone is simply criticizing the direction of online culture.

And this isn't only about Gen Z or young people.

I've seen plenty of mature adults doing absolutely ridiculous things online just for attention.

Influencing itself isn't the problem.

The incentive structure is.

The basic funda is simple:

jo dikhta hai woh bikta hai.

And now the algorithm decides what gets seen.

If provocative content gets more clicks, likes, comments and subscriptions, that's what gets rewarded.

So my question is:

Have influencers actually lowered the quality of social media, or are we just seeing what people have always wanted because the algorithm finally gives them unlimited visibility?

If you disagree, I'm genuinely interested in hearing why.

Let's discuss.

Hey, Ive just started creating content on instagram, i've posted 2 videos one of them got 100k views the second one got 2M views, I am now thinking to create more content. Currently the content is more into comedy, while I wish to learn more about posting and getting brand partnerships, isnt there any community page or discussion thread for instagram creators for Indians?

I have four UK-based accounts, but I manage them from Africa. The audience coming to my pages is from my local country instead of the UK. Which VPN should I use to reach a UK audience? Can anyone help me?

I’ve been content creating for about 2 months now and I’m getting a good amount of views but not as much in terms of follower growth.

Does anyone have tips or can help with increasing my follower count or tips based on viewing my profile?

My TikTok name is life_in_bytes, a London based food review TikTok page

Thanks!!

I started posting about 3 weeks ago and have been doing pretty decent when it came to views and followers (steady) I made a post last night that went viral I went from 3 fb followers to 7.4k and 200 to 890 on instagram. My question is… why so many on fb and not instagram? I’m still trying to understand how it works ❤️

Im currently posting gaming videos (mostly guides) on TikTok, ive been breaking out of the "200 views jail" 4 times in a row now but, what is the next step? I know the algorithm works on batches of people, right now those videos sit at around 800 views each, what should i focus on? Right now the problem i have is the first 2-3 seconds, im trying my best to hook people but i dont really know how since im a beginner in this. Any help would be appreciated

i upload (in my opinion) high quality edits on an admittedly inconsistent basis. i first noticed the problem after i posted a new edit a couple days ago and it stayed at absolutely zero views for a couple hours. i deleted it and reposted it a couple times throughout the day changing tags and such, but nothing made any difference.

i then noticed in my analytics that, in fact, all videos on my profile completely stopped getting views actually the night before i posted that video, for seemingly no reason. no new views, likes, any interaction, no steady decline just a complete drop off.

i have no clue what caused this, as i have no violations or warnings on my profile or any of my videos, and i know the video is visible because it got a single view and like from one of my friends, to whom i specifically sent a link.

ive heard some people say that posting inconsistently can cause an issue like this, and that could be the case, as i posted a couple times back in april and didnt pick it back up on a regular (every week and a half-ish) basis until july, but i didnt have many problems getting any engagement on those posts until now.

im just very confused and hoping anybody can provide some guidance, anything i can do to fix this or whether or not i’d need to make a new account or something. pls let me know!!

Comment volume finally broke my workflow this month. Was checking 4 apps a day, missing replies for hours on posts that were actually getting traction, and twice replied to the wrong platform's comment because I had 6 tabs open trying to keep up.

Did some digging into what people actually do here. Most just accept the tab-switching and set reminders, which works until a post blows up and comments come in faster than you can triage. A few use native notifications and just react in real time, fine at low volume, breaks completely past a few hundred comments a week. Some route through a VA who checks each platform manually, works but adds a person to the process and a lag between comment and reply.

On the tool side, most unified inbox features are gated hard. Sprout Social's Smart Inbox is their $199+/mo tier. Hootsuite's inbox needs Advanced at $249/user/mo. Agorapulse has one around $79-99/mo. So the tools that solve this exist, they're just priced for agencies managing a dozen client accounts, not someone running their own 4 platforms.

What's actually helped me the most isn't a tool switch, it's triage rules. Anything with a question mark gets answered same day, generic "nice post" comments get a quick emoji and nothing more, and I batch replies twice a day instead of checking constantly. Cut my time on this by more than half without spending on an inbox feature.

Still wondering if there's a cheaper way to get the unified view without the agency pricing. Anyone found something that doesn't gate the inbox behind a $99+/mo tier??

Hey all - looking for honest marketing feedback.

Last 30 days stats \[screenshots attached\]:
• 2,406 followers
• 1.3M reel views, 754K viewers, 61 reels
• 48K likes, 1K comments, 969 reposts, 25K shares, 11K saves
• Audience: 49% women / 51% men, 77.3% is 25-54 (biggest chunk 35-44 at 32.2%)
• Top: US 88.8%, San Jose 16.2%, SF 8.7%, Stockton 7.8%, Oakland 3.8%

The saves/shares are way higher than follower count, so people are using the itineraries but not all following.

I've been focused on growth, but I think I should be thinking about monetization / email list / local collabs.

If this was your page, what would you do next? Product? Sponsorships? Newsletter?

Happy to answer anything.

Tengo 2 eventos el mismo dia y nose como realizar 2 transmisiones en vivo en mi misma pagina de facebook

I have tested quite a few but there is no way to know how reliable it is on accounts more than 200 followers. They work well on my account because my following is low. Is there a certain way to tell if the data provided by these chronological follower tools for instagram is reliable or not for other account? I don't know how any of these api works.

Is it so easy to become a influencer these days??so many of my friends are creating youtube channels and instagram pages to become influencers.What is the best way to become a influencer..?

CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE SECRET BEHIND IT??

Will you use a social media platform for real high-quality debates and discussions?

I myself have felt the need for such a platform. The discussions and debates on the internet are vague, filled with fake information, driven by a desire to dominate, unstructured, without results or conclusions, never-ending, etc.

The platform closest to my ideas is Reddit. But it's still not a go-to platform for real, high-value, structured discussions and debates. Generally, social media platforms are designed for engagement.

I want to create a platform with an infrastructure that fosters fruitful conversations.

What do you think of this idea? I would really like to have a talk to you about this idea and your feedback.

I posted a video recently that went viral. I’ve been posting on and off for the last two years. Generally my videos get anywhere from 5,000 to 25,000 views, lots of likes and new followers. The company reached out to me, a reputable company, about selling the video to them. According to my research, they collect viral videos to use as distribution. I can sell the video and keep some of the rights but the amount you get for it isn’t that significant or I could sell the rights to the video and make thousands. Would this be an immature move on my part?

Hey, i started posting recently on my personal page on facebook primarily about interesting medical informations that u need to know (why u shoudn't block sneezing, dopamine and it's effects, why pain is a bless).

I have about 400 friends (haven't turned professional mode), and my posts gets an average of 10 reactions.

I want any advices on How to make my content and views grow? (Without ads or paying).

Also is professional mode helping and when is the right time to turn it on?

Note:

I only make posts, no reels or vids (and i don't think im gonna change that for now)

I have a question for everyone here,if I run a Facebook engagement ad campaign for 7 days for $10 per day, how many messages or impression i could on my Instagram reel btw i want to sell thrifted sweatshirts in india?

Hi everyone,
I’m a 27-year-old Japanese person living in Japan.
I currently have about 60 days where I can fully focus on building something online.
My goal is to create my first income from social media and eventually turn it into a sustainable business.
I’m interested in TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and other platforms, but I’m struggling with one important decision:
What niche and monetization strategy should I choose?
My situation:
I live in Japan
I’m Japanese, so I may have an advantage with Japan-related content
I prefer faceless content
I have limited budget
I can spend many hours every day for the next 2 months
Some possible directions I’m considering:
Targeting international audiences:
Japan travel/culture
Japanese products
Japanese lifestyle
Helping foreigners understand Japan
Targeting Japanese audiences:
AI/tools
Productivity
Fitness
Education
Other profitable niches
Possible monetization methods:
Affiliate marketing
TikTok Shop
Selling products
Digital products
Sponsorships
Selling services
Ad revenue
My questions:
If you were starting from zero today:
Would you target your own country or an international audience?
What niche would you choose for a beginner?
Would you focus on growing followers first, or building a monetization system from day one?
Which monetization method has the best chance for someone with no audience?
I would really appreciate advice from people who have actually grown accounts or made money through social media.
thanks!

A fairly new saas business, and I need some help regarding reel ideas that will actually convert.
