I’d focus on one clear niche, post consistently, and test different hooks/formats instead of chasing followers. The first month would be more about learning what gets retention than going viral.

Post 3 videos per day and just use any audio that is randomly trending no need to plan for a month.
I'd go heavy on TikTok SEO right out of the gate. Since you have zero followers, the algorithm will test your videos on a small batch of random users. Make sure your target keywords are in the text overlay during the first 3 seconds and in your voiceover. Keep the videos tight and focus entirely on a strong hook.
I wouldnt pay attention to number of followers in the beginning and would posts different hooks and see which one get people past fst few seconds tbh

starting a new account should really be about collecting some data there are tools to scrape like viral content hashtags and that sort of thing. if you want to do it more manually, just search your keywords and like comment on related post. your feed will soon only be that niches content. find and follow users in your same niche see which of their videos did best copy their description hashtags style test out a few different versions see what works then start to find your own version of what works.

Well I would not be thinking of followers first of all
mostly people will guide you about content quality, posting quantity, different metrics and algorithm.
I think of it as my personal interest
I mean just keep posting without caring about metrics and algorithm with just eagerness to that work.

For first month I would consider it to be just testing not development – post different hooks or formats and see which one is getting viewership.
i would start by focusing on finding at least one format that works before trying to go viral. the initial stages should be used for experimenting with the content, hooking techniques, video length nd times when to post videos. after finding one format which starts bringging more views nd shares i would build a series.
I would spends my fst month looking for one consistent format rather than going for followers once I finds one hook that consistently gets views, start working with that formula.

Not only the first month, but every day up until I had 100k followers; I'd find a niche that is in demand, create content on it and upload 3 times daily on TikTok. When I would reach 100k followers I would try to get partnerships with other people so I could get paid, and also continue to grow the TikTok account.
Starting a tiktok account from zero followers can be challenging and time taking, because there is much more competition now a days on every social media platform. So in my first month I would try the testing phase instead of being viral in start. I select a clear niche and target audience then create an account and give a clear username, bio and profile etc. Then I prepare 5 to 10 video ideas then work on it and post 1 to 2 videos on daily basis. I also importance the quality on quantity. I heavily focus on the start of video to hook the audience. I also importance the comments of viewers and reply them and use to create the follow up videos, during this month I track the whole month record that which topics get best reach, reaction shares and saves. Then after a month I finally conclude that which content is best for me to grow easily and organically.
