I recently started a TikTok account around my app Ban It, which helps people break bad habits. I had no audience, no ads, and no big strategy.

In 9 days the account passed 1,000 followers and some videos crossed tens of thousands of views.

Honestly, there was no complicated growth hack behind it.

The only thing I did consistently was posting 3–4 videos every single day.

At the beginning most of the videos barely moved. A few hundred views, sometimes less. But when you post multiple times a day, the algorithm has more chances to test your content.

After a few days, one video suddenly started getting traction. Then another one. Once that happens, the account starts getting pushed more often.

What I learned from this small experiment is that volume matters a lot more than people think on TikTok, especially when you're starting from zero.

Most people post one video, wait for results, get discouraged, and stop. But TikTok seems to reward accounts that consistently give the algorithm new content to test.

So my very unsexy takeaway from reaching 1k followers in 9 days is simple: Post more. A lot more.

No complicated funnel, no paid ads, just 3–4 videos every day and letting the platform do its job.

I grew a TikTok account to 1,000 followers in ONLY 9 days.
