How To Get 10,000 Followers on TikTok in 30 Days (step-by-step)

Introduction

By the end of this guide, you'll know the four pillars essential to growing your TikTok following to 10,000 followers. Achieving this milestone can happen quickly because TikTok's algorithm makes it easier to go viral compared to other platforms. However, many people struggle to reach this goal. If that's you, this article will pinpoint why and provide a clear path forward.

Who Am I and Why Should You Listen to Me?

I've been growing TikTok accounts for a while and successfully monetize them through the Creator Rewards program. I oversee multiple accounts, run a Discord community of 600 people, and receive daily questions about TikTok growth. This experience has given me insight into the common challenges people face, particularly those stuck below 1,000 followers.

To ensure you get the most out of this article, here are the four pillars needed to reach 10,000 followers in under 30 days:

  1. Bait and Switch Method
  2. Branding and Avatar
  3. Law of Consistency
  4. Quantity Over Quality

Don't worry if this sounds confusing—I will break it down for you.

Pillar 1: The Bait and Switch Method

Although not technically a pillar, this method is a powerful strategy to rapidly grow to 10,000 followers. Essentially, you find a trending content style and exploit it for quick growth.

Example:

You could focus on slide posts in a specific niche, such as food. While these posts aren't highly monetizable, they go viral quickly. Once you’ve grown to around 12,000 followers, you can start creating one-minute videos in the same niche. This allows you to apply for the Creator Rewards program, ensuring sustained growth and monetization.

This method can be adapted to any niche. Once you have the followers, switch your content style to something monetizable to start getting paid for your posts.

Pillar 2: Branding and Avatar

One major flaw beginners make is poor branding. A haphazard profile picture, messy usernames, and inconsistent video themes turn potential followers away.

Proper Branding Tips:

  • Use a clean, attractive profile picture.
  • Choose a professional, readable username without dots or underscores.
  • Maintain a consistent theme across your videos.

This enhances your profile's appeal, making it more likely to convert viewers into followers.

Avatar and Connection:

Creating an AI avatar can also help build a faceless page with personality. Human-like elements encourage deeper connections with your audience.

Pillar 3: Law of Consistency

Consistency is crucial. Many people give up after a few low-performing videos. However, your first few posts are unlikely to go viral if you're a total beginner. Continuous efforts and repetition are necessary.

Golden Rule:

Before even creating an account, produce 20-30 quality videos. This ensures that early low views don't discourage you. From experience, 20-30 videos provide a sufficient test to determine if a niche is viable.

Pillar 4: Quantity Over Quality (Initial Phase)

Initially, focus on quantity—which might sound counterintuitive. Posting frequently gives insights into what works. Avoid spending too much time on your first few videos since those are mostly about warming up your account.

Strategy:

Post easier, shorter videos first to get your account started. Once your account warms up and your videos begin to get more views, start sharing higher-quality content.

Conclusion

Implementing these four steps—Bait and Switch, Branding and Avatar, Law of Consistency, and Quantity Over Quality—will significantly accelerate your growth on TikTok.
