TikTok Trends April 2026
This week, we completed our 30-day challenge of posting 2x per day!
And the results to our burning questions are in!
Does posting 2x per day make the algorithm love you?
Does it grow your following?
Is that what it takes to be a successful creator?
Here’s what we know for certain:
Posting 2x per day is DIFFICULT. Out of our mini experiment of 16 participants, only 43% were able to meet the challenge. For me personally, I was only able to post 33/60 times, making it just over 1x per day on average.
Does posting 2x per day make the algorithm love you? Categorically, no. There were wild swings jn reach from each post from any content creator. My assumption is that this is coming from the more ”Interest-based” feed model, and each video having It’s own Individual “shot at the FYP / Explore” page. What makes a video pass or fail is firstly, the first 3-5 seconds watch rate. Secondly, is if that video is shared or not. Out of the collective 656 posts our group posted, we counted 10 of those as ‘achieving virality’ with more than 20k views. That’s 1.5%. What we did notice, is that multiple people hit that virality more than a few times. The take-away? Learning what prinicipals and style work, and repeating it, is probably the most valuable thing you can get from these challenges.
Does it grow your following? Overall, yes. Our participants on average gained 157 new followers in the 30 days. So, If you are not growing anywhere close to that rate - a double posting challenge would benefit you. Now, there were also outliers on both ends of the scale, and this is a small sample - but I can tell you these are real women, no sugar coating, and the results were mixed. Those who were able to post the full 60 posts in 30 days, gained an average of 7 followers per post. While those who posted just 1x a day, gained an average of 2.5 followers per post.
Is this what it takes to be a successful creator? This one depends on your definition of success. The number of followers doesn’t always equal the number of dollars in your pocket. Consistency and learning what works for you and the audience / intent of your page is what determines your success. If you do not learn that, then the creator journey will be hard and draining for you. Once you learn it and stick with it, the path gets infinitely easier.
Overall, I learned a lot from hosting this challenge. Firstly — this is work, and you will learn from doing the work, but there is no guarantee of success. Secondly, having a group to learn from and be accountable to helps so much to stay motivated and accountable.
But don’t take it from me!
