one thing that i would definitely not do is concentratte exclusively on getting views nd forgetting to build a relationship with urr audience. even a video with fewer views but better interaction can provide uhh with a lot of valuable infformation compared to some random video that got millions of views.

One mistake I see is copying viral videos too closely. Even if they get views, it's hard to build an audience when every post feels like someone else's content. Using trends is fine, but adding your own angle gives people a reason to follow.

Don't focus only on views. Watch time, comments, and returning viewers can tell you more about your real growth.

Don’t copy others’ videos or spam links. Avoid switching niches frequently to keep your account stable.

In my opinion avoid copying every viral trend. Try to understand why it works and add your own style.

One of the errors that many people make is concentrating too much on mimicking what is already viral rather than comprehending the reasons behind its success. although trends might offer fleeting engagements, content producers who develop a distinctive style and are able to learn from their analytics tend to perform better. experimentation is important , although changing directions after each un successful video is time consuming.

the biggest mistake is posting videos inconsistently. failing to maintain a regular posting schedule makes it difficult for the algorithm to rank your channel.

i believe that the biggest blunder made by beginners is concentrating too much on the algorithm nd too little on the viewer. rather than copying the trend, concentratte on the reasons y viewers will pause comment or like the video. further do not delay uploading the video until u have the perfect one. the quickest way to devellop is to create, analyze nd adapt with each creatiion.
I believe that the most common mistake is making videos without knowinng what makes the viewer stay or leave. beginnerss tends to care only about views, but the knowledge comes from watching statistiics on time spent watching, rewatching the content, commnting, and knowing at what parts the viewers react. Each video must provides feedback for the following one.
Many newbies treat Tiktok like a lottery game and focus on the number of views only. But the biggest mistake is that they do not analyses the reason behind why people watched or did not watch the video. It has been noticed that those accounts which learn from every post have improved much more quickly.
