Sample question

A creator’s TikTok video reaches 100,000 views organically but only 1,000 new followers result (1% follow conversion). Strong hook, high completion rate, 500 comments. What is the most likely root cause and the correct fix?

  1. A)The video reached the wrong audience because of poor hashtag selection. Add 5-10 niche hashtags to the next post.
  2. B)The video content does not give the viewer a reason to follow. Either the CTA is absent or weak, or the content is a one-off. Fix by adding a clear, value-forward CTA and ensuring a consistent content promise. (the strongest answer)
  3. C)1% follow conversion on a viral video is normal and expected. No intervention is needed.
  4. D)The completion rate is too high, which signals TikTok is looping the video to bots. Repost with a different caption.
