Are you using TikTok?

TikTok gives me the weirdest results. Sometimes I barely have one pair of eyeballs and than again some of my posts are smoking. Especially the second one I ever did had almost 2000 views (with super boring products for younger peeps - go figure...). I can't say it makes sense to me, lol.

The first screen shot shows the most recent postings, the second one pictures the oldest postings. So odd. And yes - with pretty much no followers too. And no, I never pay for ads. So strange.

I do use TikTok, but as with all my social media I am so sporadic and inconsistent that I don't think I get anything out of it.  I add art process shorts and sometimes silly videos that are a "trend" and I try not to add too many that are just products.  I think the time and day you post has a lot to do with it as well as what your topic is.  

I barely have any followers either especially considering I've been on there about 2 years, but I also have very few uploads.  I think it's all a crapshoot nowadays 😂 you can see my views are all over the place. Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 11-47-33 Malissa Melrose (@melroseoriginals) TikTok.png

Wow!! 😳 One of yours has almost 700K views!! 😱 Thanks so much for sharing. I think you are spot on - especially concerning the posting times and week days. I usually post late at night (PST). I will start jotting down the times and dates.

I got lucky with that one post because Zazzle chose it as a promotional post probably because it was an "unboxing" and I don't think there were a lot of Zazzle sellers on TikTok at that time.  It sure was fun watching those views climb everyday! lol

With your artistic abilities I imagine you can make all kinds of great videos people are interested in. I wasn't sure how well Tik Tok worked. Thanks for sharing your results.
