Account Overview

What This Report Covers

This creator ranks 784 out of 1349 tracked accounts and holds a follower count that is 0.5 times the median size of the other creators in our database. This positions the account as a small account within the current ecosystem. Growth is slow for an account that has been active for 7.1 years, with a monthly gain of only 6.7K followers. The average view count of 160.3K per video is high for an account of this size, and the like rate of 10.44% is more than double the 4.93% median. This suggests that while the follower base is modest, the content achieves a much higher engagement rate than typical accounts in its tier. The rest of this report breaks down specific audience demographics and content performance trends.

Engagement Analysis

Based on 35 videos

This audience approves of content at double the platform median. The high like rate ranks 224 out of 1349 creators. Engagement signals show a clear preference for personal archiving over public interaction. Saves at 1.199% are the most frequent action, followed by shares at 0.552%, while comments sit at 0.153%. These figures correlate to 1.9K saves, 885 shares, and 246 comments per video. The audience over-indexes on saving content for later use but under-indexes on public conversation. Brands should treat this as a high-intent archive rather than a community forum. Reach is inconsistent across the 35 videos. Only 11.4% of posts hit the 2x average mark, and 2 videos reached 5x. A coefficient of variation of 1.83 indicates erratic reach patterns. 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 10.44% like rate is much higher than the other actions. This shows that viewers are more likely to double tap than they are to comment or share.

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

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and average video performance

Sponsorships provide the primary revenue stream for this creator because brand deals scale with follower count. At 572.4K followers, they can command a sponsorship fee between $1,000 and $3,000 per post. This amount far exceeds Creator Fund payouts, which pay only pennies per thousand views regardless of the total audience size. A rank of 784 out of 1349 places this creator in a position where they are a value buy for brands. They do not command the premium status of top-ranked creators who can decline low offers. The $3,000 upper limit serves as a ceiling to negotiate under rather than a guaranteed salary. High engagement rates suggest they sit toward the higher end of their specific bracket. A cost per view check helps determine if a quote pays for reach or for the brand name. Dividing the top sponsorship band by 160.3K average views results in a price point of roughly $0.02 per view. This allows buyers to see if inflated quotes are justified by actual eyeballs. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 35 videos

Videos between 60 and 180 seconds dominate this feed. Stick to that duration range since it captures nearly 80% of the content and keeps engagement high. Most clips are roughly 90 seconds long, making a short 30-second clip a rare outlier compared to the standard format. Original audio is used on almost every post, prioritizing a consistent brand identity over the reach gained from trending tracks. Long captions averaging 241 characters provide heavy context for each video. Open duet and stitch settings invite other creators to interact with her content frequently. The top video lasted 85 seconds and hit 1.5 million views, nearly ten times the normal reach. It earned over 500 likes for every single comment, showing that viewers prefer quick taps over joining a debate. This lopsided ratio means the clip won on passive watching rather than active discussion. Average views of 160.3K show this is an established account with steady volume rather than a search for breakout fame.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 35 videos

Sparse high-production is the defining pattern for this creator because she maintains a top follower rank despite posting well below the field median. Her output stays low while her average views remain high, indicating a focus on quality over volume. This pace has been established for nearly four years. The erratic consistency grade suggests that her upload gaps fluctuate well rather than following a predictable cycle. New content most often appears on Friday and Saturday, with a quiet period on Thursday. Most posts land around 14:00 UTC. Marketers should expect sporadic drops rather than a steady drumbeat of content. You should time any specific campaign tie-ins for the weekend windows when she is most active.
