Buying TikTok views? Why we don’t sell them
Plenty of sites sell TikTok views for a few dollars per thousand. We chose not to. Here’s our reasoning, and what tends to help a video more.
We sell TikTok followers and likes, not views. Bought views don’t carry the watch time, rewatches or shares that TikTok uses to decide reach, and a view count far out of line with likes and comments looks odd to anyone paying attention.
Why views are different
A follower count sits on your profile. A like count sits on a video. A view count is supposed to tell people, and TikTok, how many times a video was actually watched. TikTok’s recommendations lean heavily on how viewers behave: whether they watch to the end, rewatch, share, comment or follow. Bought views supply none of that, so they rarely change how a video is distributed.
They can also make a video look worse. Fifty thousand views with 90 likes reads as a video that people saw and didn’t care about.
What tends to help a video instead
- The first two seconds. Start with the payoff, a question or movement. Cut any intro.
- Length that matches the idea. A 9-second clip watched twice beats a 60-second clip abandoned at 12.
- On-screen text so people watching on mute on the train still get it.
- Posting consistently in a niche, so TikTok learns who to show your videos to.
- Replying to comments with videos, which often travel further than the original.

What we do offer for TikTok
TikTok followers change the count on your profile, and TikTok likes change the heart count on one video. Both are priced in Australian dollars, paced and covered by a 30-day refill. Neither will make a video go viral, and we won’t pretend otherwise.
