Many people overlook the importance of warming up a brand-new social media account. Platforms like YouTube and TikTok pay close attention to how new accounts behave.
If an account starts posting content aggressively without showing normal user activity, it can appear spammy.
From the platform's perspective, it may look like you're only trying to take advantage of the system instead of genuinely participating in the community.
As a result, your videos may receive very little exposure, your reach may suddenly drop, or in some cases, your channel could even face suspension.
Here's a simple way to notice this:
Create and upload a unique YouTube Short. You may see a decent number of views at first.
Continue uploading more content regularly. By the time you reach your third or fourth upload, you might notice that newer videos begin getting very low views—or even no views at all, regardless of content quality.
Many creators believe this is caused by the system limiting visibility on new accounts.
I ran into similar issues myself.
How to warm up a new Youtube channel properly:
For new channels, you have to spend 3 to 4 days watching videos fully and interacting manually, such as subscribing, liking videos, and leaving comments.
This isn't only useful for new channels.
For older channels that haven't gained much momentum yet, increasing activity and visibility can still be helpful.
Engaging with high-traffic videos and posting unique, relevant comments can help introduce your channel to a larger audience.
Think of it as increasing your channel's visibility and
creating more opportunities for people to discover your content.
