When we first started working with our client, they were doing everything right,they had great content, a fun personality, and a clear style. But even with all of that, their TikTok growth was kind of stuck. They weren’t seeing the kind of reach they hoped for, and their follower count was growing slower than expected.

They came to us at Naizop, hoping we could find a way to break through the TikTok algorithm and boost their growth. After looking at their profile and videos, we came up with a plan.

The idea was simple: give their content a little nudge with purchased engagement: likes, views, and comments, so we could get their video noticed and push it into TikTok’s algorithm. From there, we’d let the magic of organic growth do the rest.

In this case study, we’ll show you exactly what we did, the results we saw, and what we learned along the way.

How TikTok’s Algorithm Works?

Let’s start with what we mean by organic traffic. Organic traffic on TikTok is when people discover your videos naturally, no ads, no paid promotions, just real users who are interested in your content. 

And the cool thing is, TikTok’s algorithm loves this kind of interaction. If your video starts getting a lot of likes, comments, and shares, the algorithm picks up on that and pushes it out to even more people.

So, the key is getting that initial engagement to signal to TikTok that your video is worth sharing. And that’s exactly where we came in with our strategy.

The Challenge: Slow Growth and Stagnant Reach


When we first took a look at uuhlondraaa’s TikTok profile, we saw potential. They were posting consistently and had a good flow of content, but their reach was kind of flat. 

They were getting around 6,000 views per video, and their follower growth was a slow trickle of 50–100 new followers per week. For someone creating awesome content, that just wasn’t enough. They needed to break through the noise, and fast.

We decided to change things up and help them get noticed by the TikTok algorithm, so they could start growing faster. We knew this would take some time, but we were confident it would pay off.

The Strategy: Boosting with Purchased Engagement

After doing some analyzing, top-performing video (the one we thought had the most potential), we decided to buy a growth package. The package included 20,000 views, 2,500 likes, and 500 comments, all spread out over 3 days. The goal was simple: give their video the initial push it needed to catch the algorithm’s attention.

We made sure the purchased engagement was in line with how real TikTok users interact, so it didn’t look fake or forced. The idea was to make the video appear popular enough that TikTok’s algorithm would start promoting it to a wider audience. 

From there, we’d let organic engagement take over and carry the video to even greater heights.

Implementation: A Carefully Timed Push

We didn’t just want to flood the video with engagement all at once. Instead, we spread the views, likes, and comments over the course of 3 days. This helped the video gain traction in a way that seemed natural.

We also continued to engage with the followers by responding to comments and creating more content aligned with what was resonating with users. It was all about keeping the momentum going.

Within just a couple of days, we started seeing some big changes.

The Results: A Huge Boost in Organic Reach


The results were honestly amazing. After just 3 days, the video had exploded. Here’s the breakdown:

In just 48 hours, the video reached 45,000 impressions, that’s a 700% increase over the usual views we were getting. Not only that, but the profile gained 3,800 new followers in one week. 

Their engagement also skyrocketed with over 5,200 likes and 1,000 comments. The video didn’t just get noticed, it became a hit.

What’s even cooler is that this didn’t stop with one video. The TikTok algorithm started recommending more of uuhlondraaa’s content to new users, helping them grow their follower base organically. Their entire account started getting more visibility, and that’s exactly what we wanted.

The Long-Term Impact: Sustained Organic Growth

The best part? The growth didn’t just happen once. Over the next few weeks, our test profile continued to see:

  • 15,000–20,000 views per video, consistently.
  • 500–600 new followers per week.
  • Increased engagement across the board, with likes and comments regularly reaching 1,000+.

This wasn’t a one-off boost. The engagement we triggered helped create a snowball effect.

What We Learned: A Little Boost Goes a Long Way

One of the biggest things we learned through this process is that organic growth is powerful, but sometimes it needs a little help to get started. We didn’t want to trick the system, we just wanted to give uuhlondraaa the initial engagement they needed to break through. Once that happened, the algorithm took over and helped their content go viral.

We also learned that by combining purchased engagement with organic growth, you can build a solid foundation for long-term success on TikTok. It’s about working with the platform, not against it.

Conclusion: A Winning Formula for TikTok Growth


For uuhlondraaa, this strategy worked wonders. In just a few weeks, we were able to help their grow their reach by 350%, their follower count by 280%, and their engagement by more than 500%. It’s clear that sometimes all you need is a little nudge to get your TikTok account noticed.

If you’re struggling with your TikTok growth, don’t be afraid to consider a similar approach. A small investment in engagement can be the key to breaking through the algorithm and getting your content seen by a much wider audience.
