I'm done gatekeeping this content advice. The last one is the one that made the biggest difference.

I'm gonna be straight with you and I'm going to tell you the very specific things that I have done to grow to almost half a million followers across platforms and this is stuff that I normally reserve for paying clients but I know a lot of people are struggling at the moment especially with reach so I'm not gonna get keep. The first thing is a technique called keyword warming. So let's say for example I'm going to make a video on watch time how to increase your watch time before I post that video I will go to the search bar I will search for the keyword watch time and then I will engage with about 30 different videos using that keyword. It's kind of to prep the algorithm on how to categorize my content. The next thing is that I only ever upload on 4G or 5G never on Wi-Fi because sometimes Wi-Fi uploads can get flagged as studio content and the algorithm prefers things that feel spontaneous. If I'm going to make a video on something that a lot of other content creators are talking about and I want my version to get sane sometimes I will use a VPN and set it to a location that is less competitive like Iceland where there are fewer creators on a smaller pool because if it gains momentum there it's more likely to get pushed out worldwide. I only ever post when I have less than 10% battery because that's going to compress the file and make it quicker and easier and smaller to upload. Also the panic kind of motivates me and then the most impactful thing is that as soon as I hit the post button on a video I will very quickly put my phone into the fridge while it uploads because uploading generates heat and a cooler phone is going to make the video easier to process. I can't even move bother making this up anymore. All of that is bullshit obviously. I know some of you are turning off your Wi-Fi and walking halfway to the fridge because they sound believable because they're specific and kind of techy and they promise a shortcut and everybody wants a shortcut. The only unhinged thing I have done to grow my account is find a strategy, follow that strategy, use my analytics and adjust accordingly. The long way is the shortcut. Good way to judge whether a tip is real or not is to ask yourself does this tip have anything to do with my actual content? Like the quality of my actual content. If it's all the stuff around it like posting times and different features those things will not make a difference.
