- Don't worry about quality — focus on getting comfortable
Phase 2: Finding What Works (Weeks 3–6)
- Analyze which of your videos performed best
- Double down on the formats that get views
- Use trending sounds and formats
- Engage with other creators in your niche
- Post 1–2 videos per day
Phase 3: Scaling (Weeks 7–12)

The One Secret
The creators who reach 10K fastest are the ones who post the most. Volume increases your chances of a breakout video, and every viral video brings a wave of followers.
