Revive my current TikTok account (469 followers) or start completely fresh for a new niche?
I'm finally ready to start posting consistently on TikTok, but I'm torn on whether to use my current account or start a brand. new one from scratch.
I created my current TT account in 2021, but I’ve only posted sparingly (maybe once a quarter). Most recently, it’s just been random nature content.
I have 469 followers (not an engaged audience) but I have 50.6k total likes because two random videos hit around 300k views a while back.
TLDR: Question about algorithm: If I stay on my current account, will my unengaged followers tank my initial watch time and stop my content from hitting the FYP? Or does TikTok favor an older account over a completely blank slate?
If you were trying to build a consistent presence in a specific niche (in this case, I’m living in a new city every month with a 9-5 job - still working on the type of content I want to post), would you prepare the old profile or just start fresh? Appreciate any insights from anyone who has tried to revive an old account!
