oh my gosh you are the first person who said "do the consistency that works for you" It's such relief because I absolutely cannot post 3 times a day due to the nature of my niche
Hey Millie, i just wanted to let you know i did exactly what you said in your "If I had to start from zero" video. (I've watched it about four times and taken notes in Google sheets.) I posted a reel one week ago that now has 500k views and I'm up 5000+ followers (from 12k). Thank you so much for everything you share. ♥
Mistakes: #1 Posting your videos with a watermark #2 Not being intentional with your hooks #3 Not posting consistently #4 Using irrelevant hashtags #5 Putting the text either too high or too low #6 Deleting your videos #7 Not looking at your analytics #8 Making videos longer than they need to be #9 Not posting in alignment with your goals or previous success #10 Only posting about yourself Bonus #1: You will see success if ________ Bonus #2: _________ on one platform and then platform _______ Watch till the end haha :)
im glad consistency isnt defined as daily. for an illustrator like me, theres no way id be able to have a 9-5 and also fit in drawing for several hours, daily video editing, brainstorming, and my normal life obligations without burnout out on art completely. 3-4 days sounds hard but much more manageable
So true about hashtags...I do kpop content...so just doing a standard #fyp isn't as effective to push my content vs #fypkpop...it has made a huge difference. ..those view extra letters 🎉
Starting small business soon, couldn’t be more excited after watching your videos- how you don’t have 1mil subscribers, I don’t know but I’ll be sure to give you credit when I can and share your videos 😊 thank you so much for giving this information I feel so inspired and ready to set up my store!
I've gone through a lot of videos to learn and yours by far are the most informative and captivating! Thank you for sharing this with us!! You're on the right path ❤🤗
I am not a content creator and just stumbled on this video, I have 40 years of experience in sales and marketing, and this video is spot on. Everything in here is 100% solid advice. I subscribed, and I will definitely return if I ever try it out. Great Video!
I just started my TikTok account on top of those existing social media sites (i.e.: FB, IG, etc.). I decided to come up with a new content creation strategy for my TikTok account, as I would like to set them apart to give my followers a new viewing experience and not having to see the duplicating contents which they would see on FB, IG, etc.
I watched the whole thing. Very useful. I particularly like the tip about cutting out anything extraneous at the beginning and even possibly the start of the first word. I’m always wondering if I should leave in awkward little stuff at the beginning, but now you’ve confirmed that I l need to trim as much as possible from the front. I also like the idea of posting for my long-term goal, what I want to be overall. And I like the idea of repeating something that has worked. I have a TikTok video about a Strawberry Frappuccino that has 2.4 million views. I should be doing more coffee reviews or something to try to repeat that success.
Hey folks, how do we smaller creators get ahead when the big guys are using paid tools like social blade to get all the attention? It feels pretty rough to be working hard but not seeing much progress. Hope everyone else is doing better!
Love this. Thanks for the tips. It's easy to feel alone in this UA-cam journey! I'm going through peoples comments and subscribing as we're all for one!
Thank you for the tips. This is really useful. I definitely make some of those mistakes. Not the giving up one, though. Videos really do blow up randomly in between and there are no deadlines that could work with that.
hey i like your content a lot , just wondered on how to deal with the message that we got on our videos that says :" ineligible for the FORYOU page " , i hope you can answer me !❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved the video. I've been doing a lot of these things you mention. I just started my channel 6 months ago and have been in my head too much about what I could do better this really helped me Thank you.
In my experience, I started talking about climate issues and there aren't many other creators here in Brazil, I'm kinda like starting the discussion and conversation about it on TikTok, so it's kinda difficult to get inspiration 😂 I'm still trying to understand how to make it work
Oh but this could be so good for you as a pioneer in this field! Maybe get Inso from other creators who are talking about it but maybe are other countries. Love climate action hope to see your content some day!
is the stop deleting videos point also relevant for Instagram? Because we've niched down a little bit more recently and have some Reels that we just don't like anymore, so we started to slowly delete a Reel every 2-3 days. Is this bad too or doesnt it make a difference on Instagram?
I have an account that is a few weeks old with 14 uploads and 37 followers. I'm stuck at around 250 views from the FYP for each upload. I'm trying to be in the art niche, but I think the algorithm is really confused about my niche. Should I start over and try to optimize the SEO better?
What do you think about posting Sam’e content on different platforms? Should I post the video on different days or on the same day? Should I make vids shorter for certain platforms? I’m struggling with IG where TT is high in followers and FB is growing rapidly
Yes there are ways. I would say that it depends on the source content though. If the video is yours I believe there is even a clip function? Check it out and report back
Yeah in a video editor you just change the sequence settings to 1080 x 1920 for your clip and then scale up the clip and change the position so you’re within the frame.
So what if my tik tok blew up but based off a video that I randomly posted for no reason and now that’s all they want to see but it’s not my goal? Idk how to build my engagement around the audience I want to have and not the audience I do have.
Oh my word!! I did not know that a UA-cam water mark was a bad thing! My videos were getting a lot of views and then it plummeted - I am assuming that is why. 😮
What should I do if I was absent do to health reasons and now I am back I had so many following and know is zzzzzzz how can I get it back to be active in the algorithm please help me😢God Bless
Why is it called the “Millennial Pause” ? I’m a Millennial and me and my creator colleagues apply this technique regularly. It Just feels like everyone is hoping on the “Slander Millennial’s“ train as Tik Tok became popular. Millennial’s aren’t even that old.
At 16:38 "You will see success if you never stop posting". I HIGHLY disagree with this. As someone who has used the internet for 16+ years of my life, I've seen countless creators across various platforms never succeed because they never try to change or improve their content. What you are essentially describing is known as sunk-cost fallacy. While I do think it's important to not give up, if you consistently make uninteresting content for even 15 years, it will still remain uninteresting and lack views. I've seen so youtubers who I've watched when I was a young teen, and I look at their channel now and their videos get maybe 2k views even after doing it for such a long period of time. The nuance is to be consist AND look to improve your content. If you get complacent making bad content for a long time, nothing will change.
Hello! I love your videos! And I love you personally! (What I see here 😉) So how can I star in insta (I do have some follower family and friend ) I’ll be selling jewelry, how can I change that from my insta!? What freebies can I give ?
Stop going to Hawaii!!!! Hawaii is a fragile ecosystem, and its delicate environment can be easily disrupted by large numbers of visitors. If you're concerned about your carbon footprint or the impact of tourism on the environment, you may want to choose a more sustainable travel destination.
Unless you put one person at every airport around the world to stop them from going to Hawaii telling one person this is peculiar to someone questioning your mental state when there are planes ✈️ dropping off people all over the world to Hawaii EVERYDAY ALLLLL DAY 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ARE U OK 🧐 maybe u should look up flight to Hawaii all over the world luv ❤praying for you 😅
Oh my gosh, talking so fast, I’m tired 6 minutes. I know they all try to get all attention, but it’s not natural when person talks 20 minutes and not breathing 😅
Love all the tips 🙌🏾 But I would « disagree » with TikTok not pushing content if you’re not active I have an account that is on the sims 4 and I was very consistent for months I went on two long breaks of 2-3 months and each time when I started posting again my content was still pushed out! Not all of it BUT most of my videos now take weeks pick up anyways so idk it seems to be working for me 😅🥲 it’s a a very slow growth but that works for me! After my first break I posted a video that at first got 400 views or so and now it’s at 300k. Took a break again and posted my first video that is longer than 4 minutes AND vertical it’s now at 29k which for me is a lot cause I on average get at 5-10k I think if you’re still engaging in the community within your niche and have ever green content TikTok will still push out your content. That’s just my 2 cents on that
Thanks to Metricool for sponsoring this video and being one of my favorite social media tools! 🔥
Check them out here! 👉🏼 my.mtr.cool/IADFFB
Thank you Millie for always providing the best tips and insights! 🤩
One question… does Metricool allow me to choose the thumbnail for scheduled reels/TikToks/shorts?
@@Photosandfood Hi! You can choose the thumbnail for reels and TikToks, unfortunately UA-cam Shorts don't allow you to choose the thumbnail 😊
@@metricoolapp as of a couple of days ago, they reintroduced the thumbnail choice on the UA-cam app. Will it change under your service?
oh my gosh you are the first person who said "do the consistency that works for you" It's such relief because I absolutely cannot post 3 times a day due to the nature of my niche
I started posting about a week ago and 3 times a day and tiktok doesnt push my content at all anymore.. I feel like they want me to shut up lol

In my experience, I started talking about climate issues and there aren't many other creators here in Brazil, I'm kinda like starting the discussion and conversation about it on TikTok, so it's kinda difficult to get inspiration 😂 I'm still trying to understand how to make it work
I support you keep going, we all have to start at the beginning. We really need you to help raise awareness... 🌳🌲🌴
Oh but this could be so good for you as a pioneer in this field! Maybe get Inso from other creators who are talking about it but maybe are other countries. Love climate action hope to see your content some day!
Thank you
Do you recommend the promote feature?
i don’t understand tho in wich intervals to post? Like if i wanna upload 2x a day i never know how much to wait in between of posting them
I hear you but sometimes only getting 60 views or 25 views is embarrassing. It's getting deleted LOL
Q: Where did you go to college? A: University of Millie LOL
Haha! Omg I love it.
Got my sub at 9:36 #trusttheprocess
is the stop deleting videos point also relevant for Instagram? Because we've niched down a little bit more recently and have some Reels that we just don't like anymore, so we started to slowly delete a Reel every 2-3 days. Is this bad too or doesnt it make a difference on Instagram?
If i want to create different niches and make more than one account on the same phone will I get shadow banned ?
I have an account that is a few weeks old with 14 uploads and 37 followers. I'm stuck at around 250 views from the FYP for each upload. I'm trying to be in the art niche, but I think the algorithm is really confused about my niche. Should I start over and try to optimize the SEO better?
Hahahaha I love how you teach!!!!
What do you think about posting Sam’e content on different platforms? Should I post the video on different days or on the same day? Should I make vids shorter for certain platforms? I’m struggling with IG where TT is high in followers and FB is growing rapidly
Is there a way to turn clips from horizontal long form the to vertical short?
Yes there are ways. I would say that it depends on the source content though. If the video is yours I believe there is even a clip function? Check it out and report back
Yeah in a video editor you just change the sequence settings to 1080 x 1920 for your clip and then scale up the clip and change the position so you’re within the frame.

Oh my word!! I did not know that a UA-cam water mark was a bad thing! My videos were getting a lot of views and then it plummeted - I am assuming that is why. 😮
Just watching
amazing
What do you do if TikTok takes your sound away if you have appealed and it’s still a no? Do you delete it then?
She said to never delete videos. The CEO of TT had sound removed from a video but he kept it up.
I have a question why do followers number get frozen?
This is sooo helpful. Are you on TikTok?
What should I do if I was absent do to health reasons and now I am back I had so many following and know is zzzzzzz how can I get it back to be active in the algorithm please help me😢God Bless
I flip off a content creator if they are crying! STOP THAT!
DO. NOT. GO. TO. HAWAII!!!! Natives are asking tourists to NOT come to literally save their lives and home. Stop going to Hawaii.
Why is it called the “Millennial Pause” ? I’m a Millennial and me and my creator colleagues apply this technique regularly. It Just feels like everyone is hoping on the “Slander Millennial’s“ train as Tik Tok became popular. Millennial’s aren’t even that old.
I heard its because Millennials grew up using digital cameras / early cell phones so they would have to "pause" and make sure it was recording.
I'm Gen X. The pause would be more likely due to 'WTF am I doing?!'

CHINA: DON'T DELETE YOUR TIKTOK VIDEOS OUR AI IS HUNGRY TO LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
It's fascinating how data privacy and AI intersect. It makes you think about the amount of data we're constantly sharing.
Hello! I love your videos! And I love you personally! (What I see here 😉)
So how can I star in insta (I do have some follower family and friend ) I’ll be selling jewelry, how can I change that from my insta!? What freebies can I give ?
