What's a good strategy for getting initial views and engagement when I'm a new creator?

Actively engage with other creators in your niche. Search for terms like ‘new creator’ or find content about low view counts. Comment authentically on their posts, and use comments that naturally mention your own content—for example, ‘Same here! I just posted my first video and I’m stuck in the 200-view jail too.’ Or comment ‘You did an amazing job! I just posted something similar.’ You can even copy and paste a good engaging comment across multiple relevant posts. People who see your comments will click through to your profile. This proactive engagement drives your initial traffic when you have no organic reach yet.
