What is the best social media platform to start on as a new creator?
THE SHORT ANSWER
For most new creators making short video, TikTok or YouTube Shorts is the best place to start, because both show videos to people who do not follow you yet. That means an account with no followers can still get views. Instagram is strong once you have some audience and want closer contact through stories and messages. If your content is mostly written or professional, start on X or LinkedIn. Go where your kind of content already does well.
What to do
- 1Decide whether you mainly make video, photos or writing.
- 2Look at where creators in your niche get the most response.
- 3Pick one platform to study closely.
- 4Repost the same content to the others from the start.
- 5Judge it after 60 to 90 days, not after one week.
The common mistake
Choosing the platform you enjoy scrolling. The right one is where your future audience is, which may be somewhere else.
WHERE KLIK FITS
If you cannot decide, KLIK lets you post to all six from one upload and see where your content gets picked up.
