Engagement Analysis

Based on 37 videos

The audience approves of content at a rate far above the median, ranking 38 out of 1349. This high approval indicates a loyal following that finds value in what is posted. Saves represent the most frequent action with a 0.885% rate, followed by shares at 0.545%, and comments at 0.08%. These metrics correlate to 8.5K saves, 5.2K shares, and 767 comments respectively. The audience prioritizes personal reference and word-of-mouth spread over direct conversation. Brands should treat this as a high-intent community that treats content as a resource to keep rather than a prompt for dialogue. Reach is inconsistent with a 2.33 consistency score. Only 4 videos hit the 2x average mark while 2 reached the 5x threshold. This suggests sporadic spikes rather than steady growth. This is an active audience.

Engagement Ratios

Each action as a share of views. Likes-to-views is how often a viewer taps like; saves-to-views is how often they bookmark a video to return to; shares spread it to others. Higher saves and shares signal content people find worth keeping or passing on, not just watching.

The high like rate of 16.62% stands out compared to other actions. This shows that viewers are much more likely to like the content than they are to comment, share, or save it.

Viral Hit Rate

How often a video beats this account's own average views. The 2x figure is the share of videos that did at least twice the norm, the 5x figure at least five times. A higher rate means breakout hits happen more often rather than reach depending on rare spikes.

Consistency Score

How steady the view count is from video to video, shown as a grade and a CV number. A lower CV and a better grade mean predictable reach on every post; a high CV means the views swing widely between hits and flops.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and average video performance

Sponsorships drive the bulk of revenue for this creator rather than the Creator Fund. A following of 2.9M followers suggests a potential sponsorship range between $10,000 and $30,000 per post. This gap exists because Creator Fund payouts depend on views and pay only pennies per thousand. Sponsorship fees scale with follower count to reward the creator for building an audience. A rank of 520 out of 1349 places this creator in a position where they can command a premium over average accounts. Their high engagement rate allows them to sit at the top end of their expected pay range. Buyers should view the $30,000 figure as a ceiling for negotiations rather than a fixed fee. A cost per view calculation shows that a quote near this peak would mean paying roughly $0.03 per view. This helps a buyer determine if a high price tag pays for actual reach or just the creator's name. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 37 videos

This feed relies on long-form content between 60 and 180 seconds. Producing videos in this specific window captures the bulk of the audience engagement while avoiding the lower performance seen in shorter clips. Because nearly 80% of the content falls into this bucket, it is the primary standard for consistency. The creator chooses original audio for every post to build a distinct brand identity instead of chasing trends. Captions average 145 characters to provide context that supports the longer video duration. While duets and stitches are available on about one-quarter of the posts, the majority of the feed remains closed to remixing. The standout clip lasted 82 seconds and pulled over 11 million views, reaching nearly 12 times the usual audience size. It earned 1.9 million likes against only 8.1k comments, a ratio that indicates passive watching rather than active debate. This high volume of likes per comment means the content works as an easy watch for many people. Average views near one million establish this as a large and established account. Success here depends on maintaining high production value to sustain a large existing fan base.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 37 videos

The account follows a sparse high-production cadence because it maintains a top-tier follower rank despite posting well below the field median. This pattern has remained stable for nearly six years, establishing a durable history of infrequent but impactful content. While the erratic consistency grade indicates irregular gaps between posts, the creator remains a major player in the space with very high average views. New content typically lands on Saturday and Monday, while Wednesday remains the quiet day. The busiest hour for new uploads is 01:00 UTC. Marketers should expect sporadic drops rather than a dependable drumbeat of posts. You should aim to align tie-ins with the Saturday or Monday windows when fresh content most frequently appears.
