Many accounts only get basic views because they lack a clear niche label in the early stages. This supplementary episode demonstrates how to precisely search for and follow 10 high-authority accounts in the same niche based on keywords.

Background

The main Day2 guide demonstrated the basic operation of batch following. This supplementary guide further refines the process: provides keywords, automatically searches TikTok, and follows 10 high-authority accounts that match the niche positioning.

Keyword Selection Principles

Primary Keywords (Mandatory)

Select 1–2 core keywords based on your target account niche, such as:

  • Fitness niche: Yoga, Pilates, Workout
  • Beauty niche: MakeupTutorial, Skincare, NailArt
  • Fashion niche: Fashion, OutfitOfTheDay, Style

Account Filtering Criteria

When following, prioritize the following account types:

Account TypeFiltering CriteriaImpact on Your Account
Top-tier accountsFollowers > 1M, engagement rate > 5%Strengthens niche signal, increases algorithm trust
Mid-tier accountsFollowers 100K–1M, content focusedEnriches label dimensions, expands recommendation range
Growing accountsFollowers 10K–100K, clear upward trendKeeps up with industry trends, captures emerging traffic

Workflow

Step 1: Keyword Input

Enter the core keyword for your target niche (e.g., “Yoga”) into the automation script.

Step 2: Account Search and Filtering

The script automatically searches TikTok for that keyword and filters target accounts based on the following rules:

  • Account content verticality > 80%
  • Updated consistently in the last 30 days
  • Follower count above 10K
  • Engagement rate (likes + comments / followers) > 3%

Step 3: Execute Follow Action

Follow the 10 selected accounts, simulating real user behavior:

  • Browse the target account’s profile page for 30 seconds to 1 minute before following
  • Randomly like or comment on 1–2 posts before following
  • Maintain random intervals between follow actions (5–15 minutes)

Step 4: Recommendation Chain Reinforcement

The follow actions trigger TikTok’s “Suggested” recommendation mechanism:

  • The algorithm assumes: “You followed A, so you might also like B”
  • Your account will appear in the follower recommendations of the accounts you followed
  • The FYP will consistently display content from the same niche

Results After Day2 Supplementary Actions

After completing all actions from the main Day2 guide plus this supplementary guide:

  • Your following list becomes fully verticalized; the algorithm has preliminarily identified your niche
  • The FYP starts showing content from the same niche
  • Account label qualification progress reaches approximately 60%, laying a solid foundation for Day3’s keyword search account nurturing

Risk Control Notes

  • Following too quickly (more than 5 per minute) may trigger platform restrictions
  • Perform actions in batches, randomizing intervals between each follow
  • Keep your account active after following; periodically browse the content of followed accounts

For best results, use with the main Day2 guide. Day3 will continue with keyword search to reinforce label qualification.
