Hi Everyone! I am George Pierce. If your TikTok videos are getting 200 to 400 views, and then stop getting views, there is a reason and a fix. The reason is that the TikTok algorithm sends your video to a few hundred TikTok viewers to see how viewers respond. When your views stop consistently, video after video, the reason is that your viewers are NOT sending good signals to TT. Good signals relate to likes, comments, shares, and watch time.
What this lack of good signals tells TT is that viewers do not like your video. I know what that is like, and although the fault lies with me and you, there is a FIX!
I use TT to drive traffic to a website, one of my YT channels, a squeeze page, etc, to drive traffic to wherever I want. In most cases, my TT videos are short 9:16 versions of a YT video, and my TT videos send viewers to the YT channel. My link to the channel is in the bio, a different TT channel per YT channel.
I use a strategy called "The Rest Of The Story", giving a taste of what the TT viewer will find at YT. Sometimes this works well, sometimes not. When it does not, I have a fix. I also use this fix for YT shorts.
Try this!
Go to your YT Analytics for the video that you want, and scroll to key moments. You will see one or more spikes, click one of those spikes and you will see the exact moment that it occurred. In the video above, it was the car match. Create a short clip leading up to the spike. I suggest you export two clips, one for TT and one for YT, the difference is the CTA. See Bio or Join Channel.
Do NOT dismiss this trick.
YT has the best stats on the planet and the spike is showing you and me, that part of our video that our viewers like best. It is handing it to us on a silver platter, and guess what happens on TT and YT shorts when we give our viewers what they like best?
They WATCH, they LIKE, they COMMENT, they SHARE! This sends good signals to TT and YT and our views go UP!
The TT video will not work on SE, but the YT version will. The only difference, as mentioned is the CTA.
The TT and YT videos have a shortened version of an intro for branding, and instead of an outro, they have a CTA.
This is a free way to get more views fast and for free, as well as more watch time, and ultimately more followers on TT and more subscribers on YT.
You will need a video editor to create these clips, Clipchamp is a free online editor, and Shotcut and Openshot are free downloadable editors. All of these editors are outstanding and with no watermark and no limits.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce

PPS. This post was inspired by a Reddit post, about this TT problem and many others. This FIX works for me quite well, it should work for you,
Comments
This post, apart from being informative in itself, made me think of your work more broadly George and why you are succeeding at what you do. I see you as akin to a service engineer, but a super friendly one, who calls around not only when summoned but who also pops by on a regular basis to see that all is working well and to offer the benefit of your experience. It's the help rather than sell and the 'cup of tea and chat' approach - and it works like a charm!
Everyone is a friend, and I committed to giving back, years ago. Thank you for your kind words, Tom. Finding people I can learn from is a pleasure, and I thank you for being one of those people.
