How to Warm Up a New Account Without Getting Shadowbanned
If you create a new TikTok or Instagram account and start posting clips immediately, you are asking to get limited.
Platforms are not dumb. They know what repost and clip accounts look like, and they watch new accounts closely.
Account warming is not about tricks. It is about looking human before you start posting.
Here is how to do it properly.
Why Account Warming Matters
Most shadowbans do not come from “breaking rules.”
They come from unnatural behavior early on.
New accounts that:
- Post immediately
- Only consume one creator
- Spam likes or follows
- Look automated
Get flagged fast.
Warming your account teaches the algorithm that you are a real person who belongs in a real community.
Day 1: Act Like a Normal Fan
On day one, do not post anything.
Your goal is simple. Look like someone who just discovered a creator or niche.
What to do:
- Set up a normal-looking profile
- Browse content in your niche for 15 to 20 minutes
- Like a handful of posts
- Watch stories or full videos
Do not follow aggressively.
Do not comment much.
Do not post.
This day is about observation, not action.
Day 2: Light Engagement
Now you slowly increase activity.
You are no longer just watching. You are participating.
What to do:
- Follow the creator and a few similar accounts
- Like posts throughout the day
- Leave one or two genuine comments
- Follow a few active fans from the comments
The key here is balance.
Engage with the community, not just the main creator.
This makes your account look natural instead of transactional.
Day 3: Post Your First Clip
Only now should you post.
And when you do, it should feel casual.
Think:
“This moment was too good not to share.”
Your first post should:
- Be one clip only
- Credit and tag the original creator
- Use a simple, relatable caption
- Use a few relevant hashtags
No spam. No growth hashtags. No back-to-back posting.
After posting, engage with comments and similar accounts like a normal user would.
Common Mistakes That Kill New Accounts
Most people get shadowbanned because they rush.
Avoid this:
- Posting multiple clips on day one
- Copy-pasting captions
- Following hundreds of accounts early
- Ignoring comments
- Only interacting with other clip accounts
Clip accounts get watched more closely. You have less room for error.
What Account Warming Is Really Doing
During these first few days, you are:
- Teaching the algorithm what content you like
- Proving you are a real fan, not a bot
- Finding your audience inside the community
- Establishing normal usage patterns
Skip this, and you pay for it later with low reach and dead posts.
Final Rule to Remember
The best clip accounts do not feel like clip accounts.
They feel like fan accounts that just happen to share the best moments.
If your account looks real, your reach lasts longer.
