Our per-follower range for accounts this size; real deals vary with niche and audience. How we estimate it

Disclaimer: These are rough estimates: Creator Rewards at the $0.40 to $1.00 per 1,000 qualified views creators report (TikTok publishes no rate), brand deals at our per-follower ranges (how we estimate them). Actual earnings vary by niche, audience demographics, brand deals, and individual negotiation. TikTok Creator Rewards payouts fluctuate and are not guaranteed.

Content Strategy Analysis

Based on 232 videos

31 of the 229 videos that aren't pinned (13.5%) passed twice the average plays and 10 passed five times it. Plays are uneven from one video to the next (consistency grade D). 93 of 232 videos are under 15 seconds and 5 run a minute or longer, so few of its videos can earn Creator Rewards.

Engagement by Video Length

Average engagement grouped by video length, so you can see which durations actually get the strongest response for this account, not just which ones they post most. Each row averages its videos' own rates (likes, comments and shares per play), so every video counts the same. The 10.66% engagement rate above divides all likes, comments and shares of the videos that aren't pinned by all their plays, so the most-played videos count most: that is why it sits above every row.

Duration Videos Avg Engagement
<15s 93 7.87%
15-30s 121 7.20%
30-60s (best) 13 8.03%

3min+ 1 2.48%

Lengths with fewer than 5 videos are listed but not ranked.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

Based on 232 videos (19.1% sample)

The videos we analysed went up most often on Friday and Tuesday and most around 8:00 and 19:00 UTC.

Posting Frequency

How often the account posts, against the typical tracked creator. It tells you whether to expect a steady stream or occasional drops.

Not shown for this account. The 232 videos we analysed include 3 pinned videos, which TikTok keeps at the top of a profile however old they are. Counting them stretches the date range, so a weekly rate from this sample would understate how often the account posts. The day and hour charts count 234 uploads, pinned ones included.

Most Active Days
