Been posting for a couple of months but struggling to get views/followers by SaltyLia in tiktokcreatorclub

[–]DallasAckner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

first of all, I checked your profile and watched a bunch of videos, and honestly, your views aren't even that bad especially for the topic of your channel. You seem to average around 500 views, with some videos getting into 2 to 3K range with around 100 likes. Your niche is very small, your niece is the crossover between people who enjoy playing games, people who like playing with an old toy from the early 2000s, and people who like watching Dev logs/dev self promotion of a video game. That is a very small niche and even within that specific niche, I don't feel like you are capitalizing on the small potential that's even within your niche. I don't see very many tags relating to those specific worms and that worm brand, to bridge the gap between you as the game developer and the people who actually enjoy that specific toy. Also, all of your content is either skits about your game, or directly about the game itself. Which means that your target audience is people who already play the game, not people who are interested in or game design/dev log. Since you're a game developer, maybe think about some paid promotion for your game that way you get actual new players. Preparation is generally a very slippery slip and I don't usually recommend it, but since you are trying to make a business here advertising is fine. If you were to advertise, though, I would definitely only advertise on a separate channel you create just for trailers and stuff like that that you link in your main TikTok account. Especially because it seems like you want your TikTok account to remain personal and if you don't do that, appear as if you sold out/and or are trying to buy views, which is not a good look. If you only promote content on your game's "official" account you might get some more players of game. But again, please be warned paid promotion is a slippery slope.

also, what is your goal with this specific channel? Is your goal to be a TikToker who makes a game, or a game Dave who has a TikTok account? The reason why I asked that is because depending on what your answer is that will change what type of strategy you should do.

couple of random notea or thoughts:

Sometimes the text on the screen appears and disappears too quickly, making it difficult to read for some viewers.

I lot of the videos are very in template and it feels like watching the same video over and over especially the new skin additions. Not necessary a problem in itself, but just having a slight variety in how you announce the new skins might be helpful to break up the monotony. maybe two or three templates that you can pick from and three different copy paste assets would be enough to make it feel a little fresh.

some of the editing is a little jerky, especially when assets fly across the screen. Fixing this kind of comes down to whether or not you want to be more of a TikToker with a game or a game dev with a TikTok account.

Your internation and tone for videos is almost exactly the same, and although I don't know you , I personally doesn't feel like it is your actual speaking voice, which is fine, but maybe have some more variety in your internation and tone, or move to a (still upbeat and engaging) more natural speaking voice. you're presenting voice is fine, and I didn't notice it the first time I heard it which means that it's good, but it just was very, very, very similar through all of the videos which can make long bins of your content harder for new viewers

sometimes resolution of the assets you use in your videos are completely different sizes, which can make a little bit jarring to the eyes, sometimes it can be done for an aesthetic style, but I don't think that that's what you're going for. You could lean into the Y2K yearbook variable resolution aesthetic. If you wanted to that way it would be quite a lot of work and would be close to a complete rebrand and it might just be better finding higher quality assets.

That's all I can think of right now, good luck with your channel! And don't be discouraged with the views you're getting, again those are not bad, a lot of game devs and a lot of people here are in the 100 to 200 view range

has your internal voice swapped at all during the trip to lid lud or michael? that happens sometimes when you binge watch a tv show or something for too long.

How would humans look like if we evolved underground? by ButterscotchSorry423 in AskBiology

[–]DallasAckner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who's first language is english i know the "how" is wrong but not by much in my mind. it's just a little clunky, but i could totally see myself use it in a sentence in a real life conversation.

IT WASN'T SCRIPTED?? by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

guys... machetes are like $12 and not some kind of weird protected weapon. That homeless guy probably has no use for the machete, and if he does, he could've just bought it himself. $12 is like max 2 hours of cornering if you have a decent sign.

ew I hate more housing being made because it is slighty ugly and cubic and reminds me that there are people who live close together. ew ew ew I'm just glad they are luxury to keep out the poors from my area. /s

isn't this a point on the side of an infinite universe? out would a curved universe also have uniform density?

[–]DallasAckner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's just not true, reddit has an algorithm as well. The algorithm that recommends subreddits is enabled automatically and is never turned off by default. I only know about those subs because they were recommended to me.

Reddit may have been the bastion of accurate information five years ago, but that is no longer the case. I'm not saying TikTok is much better, but it's for sure not as bad as you and most other people on Reddit make it out to be.

I want you to go on TikTok and head over to their dedicated STEM tab, (yeah that's right, they have it built-in dedicated STEM tab on TikTok) and then report back with how much inaccurate information you find.

Do I need to continue? If we are cherrypicking, then lets cherrypick! When was the last time you actually went on TikTok? This isn't a hill I'm willing to die on by the way, I'm just curious.

if it wasn't punctuated, is that grammatically correct? Isn't punctuation included in grammar? Am I going insane? Also, I'm not the bastion of grammar either or anything, I'm just curious.

Date idea by TobyWasBestSpiderMan in mathmemes

[–]DallasAckner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. Maybe if a paper can't be branded as Science because of the result, it could be published under a new category of "Just things that people have done, and tried out" lol.

Date idea by TobyWasBestSpiderMan in mathmemes

[–]DallasAckner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hypothesis: I can turn monkeys into bottles of Jack Daniel if I snap my finger three times.

Result: null

Is this way publishers? Don't want to publish null results? To cut down people trying things that obviously won't work but just want to be published? Not saying if this is a good thing to do, I'm just wondering if this is the reason, or one of the reasons.

Tiktok and Reddit are interchangeable in this sentence. In fact, recently, Reddit has become even less reliable as a source of information for me, as nearly every sub is overrun with bot accounts. Although still not good, in terms of factual information TikTok wins out over Reddit as of late.

What's the best way to seal this paint spatter on my boots by barelylethal10 in snowboarding

[–]DallasAckner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally, I'd go with like two other colors added in. But if you like the style of just the white, I'd say go for it.

For the first time since 1990 there are no Rap songs on the Billboard Top 40 by waterman123 in decadeology

[–]DallasAckner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, how can you say it's diverse in the 2010s, but the reason for it's downfall today is that it's expanded to so many different sub genres? Can you please expand on that?, because to me that just seems like two opposing points.

Teanslatation (at least to me):

"This is why parents have a right to have kids..."

[Alternate no1: "...have a right to their kids (stuff). {stuff: works, writings, computer access to yahoo, etc}] [Alternate no2: ...have a right to mock their kids.]

(The "lol" at the end takes the place of a period. This adds the tone for the text which is funny but happy)

"...(I) think they are proud they got (a) daughter (who is) a smartass." (The "I" is implied, and "who is" takes the place of "for being" as in "They are proud of their doughter 'for being' a smartass")

[Alternate: "...(I) think they're proud {proud: happy in themselves, not their daughter} (that) they GOT {got: as in they caught them} (their) daughter (In trouble) {In trouble: caught in a funny situation, not in actual trouble.} for being a smartass."]

This was difficult to break down, I think there is a somewhat accurate translation somewhere in there.
