It feels like trying to strike gold or win the lottery to get success on tiktok. Shifting through dirt and shooting random numbers in thr air.

Huh, the video that caused the issue reposted managed to get up to my usual 217, so thank you anyone here who went to check it out and maybe pushed it a bit into 'usual' territory for me! It lingered at 5 views for most of the time it was up until like... just now, so thank you!

Yeah. It's specifically promotional videos I make, I think. Like, book signing videos do decent. I had 1 promotional video do really well... then most of them are around the 200-300 view area. I just... I don't know. I can't crack how to work tiktok.

I'm not surprised. :( How the heck am I supposed to break into book tok with queer books literally being censored to the void? How are any queer authors supposed to succeed like this?

Yeah... I have videos that do fairly well for a small channel. Hair videos, cooking videos. My best one got around 2k. The second I tag queer bookish stuff, I feel like I'm lucky to hit 200 views. This makes me think there's bad reasons for that.

Thank you <3 Yeah, here's the exact alert I got, for context. Here's the video reposted without the tag, it still got almost 0 views. www.tiktok.com/@eternalevel...

I was wondering what that was about! 😆

I know, it's terrible 😅 I'm so happy, it's sick

Thank you!

Gonna get an orange-ish eyeliner for the eyebrows I think... Setanta has copper hair, and lipstick does not work as a substitute for the right color XD
