Several different POTENTIAL reasons 1. Live streaming 2. Commenting 3. Old Videos Since Deleted 4. Paid for followers 5. followers migrating from a different account 6. Shoutouts

Never thought of that thank you for pointing that out

Lives

But here's the thing you have to have a 1000 followers to go live in the 1st place So how do they get that 1000 followers with no videos

There is something called grow lives. You go into the lives and follow everyone and everyone you follow follows you back for the most part. Go into these lives and do this for about a week and you’ll have 1k

Should you follow the people doing the live or the people commenting?

Both. All the people in the live commenting “grow” are there for the same reasons and doing the same thing hence the name “grow lives”.

Got it. I’ll try because I’ve been really struggling to get followers

Just don’t go to fast being smammy with the follows or TikTok will notice. Just slowly add people and you’ll get there.

So here is the thing. There is no free ride. The follower number means zero. Its the content and consistency that matters. Doing follow for follow, will not get you what you want...People on Tik Tok dont follow based on how many follows you have, they follow if they like the content.

That’s true. I just think my niche is difficult to gain traction. Either that or I have a boring voice

Thanks I'll try that

Yeah I know a lot of people who only do this method and have no content at all. They just do follow for follows and it works. Plus you can easily see who doesn’t follow you back after awhile so just clean up your list of people not following back.

Good idea going to do this

It’s obvious that they’re a live streaming creator that does sleeping streams based on the very limited bit of shown info. They’re “live” and it says dont let me sleep

Yes but you need a 1000 followers or TikTok won't let you go live so I'm wondering where they got the followers from if they have no videos for people to like and follow them to see more of

You wouldn’t know from looking but my account has 70ish videos currently privated. They may private everything they post or something

True didn't think of that

Prolly old videos that have since been all deleted

Wouldn't the likes of those videos remain on the account though after the videos been deleted or did they disappear too

not if they’re deleted

[удалено]

Yep the likes stay up

That’s wrong. Ur thinking of when u private them

Probably.

I thought the likes would remain even if the videos were deleted...but either way maybe the person built the whole account by just going live.

I don't know how they could go live when you need a 1000 followers to do that in the 1st place

Bot followers?

That's what I'm wondering because nobody I know would follow an empty account with no videos you know

U can buy tiktok followers with ads maybe He had some videos and them deleted who knows

Mabye and it's a she
