How To Get 1000 Followers On Tiktok
About this video
Martinez explains how he would grow a TikTok account from zero toward 1,000 followers, based on his own testing. For edited uploads he gives the TikTok size as 1080 by 1920, but says recording selfie-style on a phone gets better reach than uploading from desktop, partly because at the time of recording desktop uploads could not add music. He says TikTok reach beat YouTube for him when he posted consistently one to three times a day, claims he was over 45k followers at the time, had videos around 60k views, and that a second video on a second account in the gaming niche passed 10,000 views. His method is to search a niche hashtag — for example English bulldog — study the top-viewed videos, and aim to dominate three to five hashtags so your videos rank first when people search them, as he says he did for print on demand, sometimes gaining 100 to 200 followers in a day. He recommends top 3, top 5 and top 10 videos, which can be made without being on camera, batching by recording on Sunday and Monday, saving phone videos as drafts, and logging ideas in Airtable or Notion. He claims 1,000 followers is possible in a week to a month if you post multiple times daily, and advises turning anything that works into a series, citing a creator whose ‘making my dad mad’ series reached part 34 with videos over 100k and 153k views.
Key takeaways
- Record on your phone in 1080 by 1920 for better reach, and note desktop uploads could not add music at the time of recording.
- Research your niche by hashtag, study the top-viewed videos, and aim to dominate a small set of hashtags with your own original versions.
- Post consistently — start at one video a day and build to two to five a day if you want faster follower growth.
- Batch content by planning ideas in Airtable or Notion, recording several videos at once, and saving them as drafts.
- Turn any format the audience engages with into an ongoing series instead of treating it as a one-off.
