My lane is lyrical/conscious rap, but this song I feel has way more mainstream and commercial potential than what I usually make, and I have gut feeling that I need to go all in on it. Every minute, every bit of effort, every dollar I can invested in it, for at least 2 months and maybe longer. Up until this point I’ve primarily just been doing text on screen videos with an iPhone SE, but I plan to get some better recording equipment and some props for videos, I might take an Amtrak to go shoot in my local city whenever I’m able to, and maybe play it live at open mics in said city (I’ve never performed live.) I spent my days off Wednesday and Thursday making and scheduling the last weeks worth of content for my single dropping the 7th, just so I can start planning my roll out for this special song earlier. I just need as much wisdom as I can get because I’m going all in on this.

I have 4.7k views and I think about 200 likes, that in itself is not weird. Here’s what’s weird.

Not a single new follower. I’ve gotten multiple new followers on a video with about 500 views or less. You’re telling me I multiply that by 8 and get none? No new comments either.

A lot of the usernames sound foreign, but my analytics say my audience is 90% from the US.

Gender demographics have my audience as 60% female, when my audience on both my prior TikToks as well as my Instagram reels is over 90% male.

Weirdest of all? It says it’s being liked 0 seconds into the video on average.

I don’t like this. I feel like I paid $30 for some bullshit and I’m hoping I can get a refund.
