Let’s tell a tale of two creators. Both are talented, both are hard-working, and both want to build a successful presence on TikTok. But they take two completely different paths.
By the end of this story, you will see yourself in one of them—and you’ll know exactly what to do next.
Meet Creator A: The Trend Chaser
Creator A wakes up every morning and asks the same question: “What’s trending today?”
Their “For You Page” is their boss. They see a viral dance, they learn it. They hear a popular sound, they find a way to use it. One day they’re posting a comedy skit, the next they’re trying a recipe hack they saw.
Their analytics are a rollercoaster. One video gets 800 views. The next, by pure luck, gets 100,000 views. They get a rush of excitement! But the next video is back down to 1,200 views. They have no idea how to repeat their success.
They feel exhausted, like they’re on a content treadmill that never stops. They’re getting some followers, but their community feels shallow. No one really knows what to expect from them, and brands have no idea how to partner with them. Creator A is working hard, but they aren’t building anything that lasts.
Meet Creator B: The Brand Builder
Creator B wakes up and asks a different question: “How can I provide value to my specific audience today?”
They don’t chase every trend. Instead, they have a system. They’ve built their strategy on Content Pillars—the 3-5 core topics they know their audience loves. When they see a trending sound, they don’t just copy it; they ask, “Can I use this to talk about one of my pillars?”
Their analytics are not a rollercoaster; they are a steady climb. Their views are consistent and predictable because they have trained the algorithm to know exactly who to show their content to. Their engagement is high because they’ve built a real community around a shared interest.
They feel focused and energized. They know what to post every day. Brands are starting to reach out because it’s immediately clear who their audience is and what their channel is about. Creator B isn’t just making videos; they are building a business.
The Difference Isn’t Luck—It’s a Map
Do you see the difference? Creator A is lost in the woods, hoping to stumble upon a path. Creator B is building a highway.
The success of Creator B has nothing to do with being more talented or getting “lucky.” It has everything to do with having a strategy. They have a map. They understand that TikTok isn’t just a place to post videos; it’s a platform on which to build a brand, and brands require consistency and a clear plan.
They took the time to define their niche, establish their content pillars, and learn the language of the algorithm. They chose to be the architect of their success, not a victim of the trends.
Which Creator Do You Want to Be?
If you feel like Creator A—stuck on the treadmill, confused by inconsistent views, and unsure of what to do next—it’s not your fault. You’re not failing; you’re just missing the map.
