Start with a sustainable posting rhythm, then scale after the account proves it can handle consistent publishing.

​
How Often should I post?

For a new account, start with one post per day or one post every other day. The first goal is to build a reliable publishing history before increasing volume. Once posts are publishing cleanly, analytics are showing impressions, and the account is getting normal distribution, add more posts slowly. A practical starting cadence:
PlatformNew account cadenceScale toward
TikTok1 post per day or every other day2-4 posts per day once distribution is steady
Instagram Reels1 Reel per day or every other day1-2 Reels per day
YouTube Shorts3-5 Shorts per week or 1 per day1-2 Shorts per day
Facebook Reels3-5 Reels per week or 1 per day1-2 Reels per day
LinkedIn2-5 posts per week1 post per weekday
X / Twitter1-3 posts per dayMultiple posts per day if the account is active and engagement stays healthy
Use Social Calendar to space posts across the week instead of publishing a large batch at once. If a new account jumps from no activity to high-volume posting overnight, platforms may slow distribution while they learn whether the account is trustworthy. What matters more than volume:
  • staying consistent inside one topic or audience
  • testing different hooks, formats, and lengths
  • spacing posts apart instead of stacking them back-to-back
  • avoiding duplicate videos and repeated captions
  • staying below each platform’s hard posting limits
Platform hard limits are not posting targets. Treat the numbers in Posting Limits & Best Practices as safety ceilings, then choose a cadence your audience can actually absorb.

My TikToks are getting 0 views. Why?

When a TikTok has exactly 0 views, distribution usually has not started yet. That is different from a video that gets 20, 50, or 100 views and then stops. Exact zero often points to review, processing, account trust, or visibility issues. Check the basics first:
  1. Wait up to 24 hours in case TikTok is still reviewing or processing the upload.
  2. Confirm the post is public, not saved as a draft or set to private.
  3. Check TikTok notifications for account warnings, verification prompts, or posting restrictions.
  4. Make sure the connected TikTok account is fully set up and in good standing.
  5. Try one simple original test post directly in TikTok. If that also gets 0 views, the issue is probably account-level.
Common causes include:
  • posting too much too soon on a new or inactive account
  • repeatedly uploading the same clip with only small changes
  • using clips with visible watermarks from other platforms
  • copyrighted audio, policy-sensitive footage, or content TikTok holds for review
  • spammy captions, too many hashtags, or captions that look copied across posts
  • account restrictions, incomplete account setup, or unusual login behavior
  • a video that is still processing or failed after upload
If this happens, slow the account back down to one original post per day or every other day for a few days. Use a fresh 9:16 video, clear audio, a strong opening frame, and a natural caption with a few relevant hashtags. Avoid deleting and reuploading the same video repeatedly, because that can make the account look less trustworthy. If multiple posts stay at 0 views for more than 48 hours, compare an Overlap-posted video against a manual TikTok upload. If both stay at 0, check the TikTok account directly. If manual uploads get views but Overlap-posted videos do not, contact Overlap support with the affected post URLs and TikTok account name.
