Make the TikTok Algorithm Your Best Friend
Struggling to get views? You’re not shadowbanned, TikTok just changed the rules again. If you wanna go viral in 2025, you need to play smart with the new algorithm.
The 300-User Test (AKA Your Mini Audition)
Every time you post a video, TikTok sends it to 300 random users. This test decides your fate. To level up and hit the FYP, you need to score at least 50 points from those users.
The New Point System Explained
Every type of engagement is now worth points — here’s the cheat sheet:
-
👍 1 like = 1 point
-
💬 1 comment = 2 points
-
📤 1 share = 3 points
-
👀 1 full watch = 4 points
-
🔁 1 replay = 5 points
Hit 50 points = your video gets pushed to more people. Fall short? It flops. TikTok’s not playing.
💡 How to Actually Win with the New Algorithm
If you want those sweet views, here’s what you gotta do:
-
Grab attention in the first 3 seconds – no slow starts
-
Make it loopable – replays = gold
-
Ask for opinions or reactions – comments double your score
-
Post content people have to share – the more chaos or feels, the better
🚀 Your New Secret Weapon
This update might feel brutal, but it’s actually your shot to grow fast, even with zero followers. Create binge-worthy content, play the point game, and let the algo work with you, not against you.
