TikTok Cold Start Practical Guide 2025: How to safely maintain accounts and improve interaction with new accounts

In the past few years of creating an account on TikTok, I have seen too many people stuck at the same stage:
The video was posted, the editing was good, and the topic was hot, but the number of views always stayed at a few hundred.
At first, I thought it was a content problem. But after I created more accounts, I realized one thing— many new accounts were not “poor in content” at all, but “the system doesn’t believe you.”
1. Why are new accounts “cold-treated” by TikTok?
TikTok was actually very cautious in the early stages of the account.
It will not push your video to a large number of unfamiliar users as soon as it comes up. Instead, it will first throw your video into a small test pool and observe several very realistic indicators:
- Is anyone willing to read it?
- Will you row it away immediately?
- Do you have any likes, comments, collections?
- Has anyone watched it a second time?
If these signals are not obvious, the system will default to a conclusion:
This account is not worth continuing to provide traffic for the time being.
This is also why for many new accounts, the first three or five videos are basically "no sound".
2. How did I solve the problem of "too low interaction"?
Let’s talk about the conclusion first: Don’t imagine that you can survive a cold start entirely by relying on natural traffic.
This is not speculation, but determined by the platform mechanism.
1️⃣ At the account level, don’t be in a hurry to post content.
Now that I have a new account, the first thing I do is never post a video, but:
- Write your avatar and introduction clearly at once
- Take the initiative to watch videos in the same field
- Like, comment and look like a real user
There is only one purpose: 👉First let the account "use it like a normal person".
2️⃣ In terms of content, let’s first solve a question: Does anyone watch it?
For the new account’s videos, I only do one thing: make people want to watch them for 3 more seconds.
- No foreshadowing at the beginning
- No explanation of background
- Directly throw results, conflicts or pictures
Even if your content is average, as long as your completion rate is decent, the system will not immediately put you in the cold.
3️⃣ What really widens the gap is the “first wave of interaction”
I struggled with this step at first.
Later, I discovered a real problem: without interaction, the algorithm will not give you a second chance at all.
So I started to do something very restrained with Fansoso :
Only the interaction in the "starting stage" is supplemented, and no violent brushing is involved.
3. How I used Fansoso to “start” TikTok videos (practical operation)
Here I am talking directly about the real process , not advertising rhetoric.
Step 1: Select a video (you don’t need to fill in every video)
I only choose two videos:
- New account’s first 3–5 entries
- Or videos with obviously good content but 0 interactions
Step 2: After entering Fansoso, I do this:
- Choose TikTok Like /Comment Service
- Enter video link
- The quantity is controlled in small quantities and in batches, confirm the order.
- Time is stretched, don’t pursue instantaneous explosion
My goal is not to "look awesome";
Instead, let the system determine:
In this video, real users are interacting.

Step 3: Observe 24–48 hours of data changes
If you look at the data, you will find an obvious change:
- Playback no longer stops immediately
- Recommendations begin to spread slowly
- Subsequent natural interactions are easier to come in
👉 This step is the real value of Fansoso.
4. Real case: How is a new account "activated"?
I tested a new account last year:
- First 3 videos
After adjusting I only did 3 things:
- Optimize the first 3 seconds
- Use Fansoso to make up for the first wave of interactions
- Stable, 1 post every 3 days
Day 7 begins:
- The number of plays has steadily exceeded 3,000
- Unknown users began to appear in comments
- The video starts entering For You
It’s not an explosion, but the account is “alive”.
5. About Fansoso, my true evaluation
I don't recommend that anyone rely heavily on tools for long periods of time .
But during TikTok’s cold start phase, Fansoso is more like a “launcher” :
- Help you cross the threshold
- I won’t take the back road for you
As long as you:
- control the rhythm
- Match the content
- Don't be greedy
The risk is actually very low.
write at the end
TikTok’s core logic in 2025 is just one sentence:
The system does not lack content, but what it lacks is “verified accounts”.
If your video never has a chance to be verified,
It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that you haven’t gotten there yet.
What Fansoso can do is help you get to the starting point of "being seen" . The road behind is truly the battlefield of content.
