Just started my TikTok journey last month and sitting at 156 followers. I'm posting daily but growth feels slow. Is this normal? How long did it take you to hit your first 1000?

Took me 3 months to hit 1K but then I hit 10K in the next month! Growth is weird on TikTok - it often comes in bursts. Just keep posting consistently and focus on improving your content quality.

I got lucky and hit 1K in 2 weeks but my friend took 6 months. Don't compare yourself! Focus on making content YOU enjoy and the followers will come. The algorithm rewards genuine enthusiasm.
