Step-by-Step Guide to Follower Analysis

Browse through the competition's profile

Analyze followers

Now take a look at Sven's followers. He has 1813 followers. Note the active accounts that subscribe to him. You can try to follow these people to increase your chances of getting followed back. However, it's wise not to follow everyone directly. Choose strategically who you follow.

Strategic following

It can be tempting to follow many people at once, but pay attention to the right approach. You may want to subscribe to 20-30 followers on the first day. After another day, you can add another 20-30. After a week, you can unfollow those who didn't follow you back. Avoid unfollowing too quickly, as this may be considered unnatural by TikTok.

Examine other competition accounts

Search through other accounts in your niche as well as Sven's followers. You will find that many accounts target similar audiences - this also applies to the financial scene in which Sven is active. Look at all relevant profiles and consider who else you could follow.

Comments of followers

Another valuable approach is to analyze the comment sections of your competitor's videos. See who actively comments and consider following these users. Activity in the comments indicates that these users are still engaged.

Stay active and grow

If you want to accumulate followers, wait before you start unfollowing. It's important that your ratio of followers to subscribed accounts is balanced. A significant difference could potentially be perceived negatively. Make sure your profile doesn't look chaotic to new users.

Slow strategy

Take your time implementing these strategies. Don't act impulsively just because you have many followers. Take your time to present an authentic profile. Work on your followers and unfollows over weeks while regularly examining more accounts in your niche.
