Hey everyone! This video has been requested for the longest time now and so hopefully it's able to answer all questions on the subject. If you have any other ideas regarding influencing international audiences that you'd like to share, please comment on those ideas down below and I'm more than willing to look into them. Stay tuned for a big video coming this later this week (Hint: King of TikTok)! Stay safe! 👍
Joaeph Todd can you plz look at my videos and tell me what to do better, i feel like i make funny and original content with good lightning but still only Get like 30 wievs. Here is my account F.O.N.N
So I had a video go somewhat viral and after about 50k views it primarily switched to a asian (philippines, vietnam, and singapore) audience I'm not sure why. The video currently has 400k views and about 50% of the audience is from asian countries. I'm from Canada and never used a VPN while using tiktok, so this is very weird. Not to mention my video was entirely in English.
I created my TikTok in 2018 back in India but stopped using it shortly after. Now, I live in the US. and I reinstalled the app a few weeks ago, I cannot reach the Indian audience anymore.
My analytics is totally different. I'm in the US but my audience is 21% germany, 20% UK, 18% poland, 16% US and 4% romania.. Like I'm grateful for the global reach, but I'm in the u.s and my account is for business. I kinda want my audience to have a higher U.S audience
I hate it that Tiktok works so much with your location, bc my type of content is not that likeable in my living area, so my views are not that high bc of that too.
I have the same problem and I hate it.It makes me so mad that some people from the US can get so many views by just posting their face but the videos ı spent hours get unnoticed because of my region.
The whole point of the internet is connecting with those with similar interests and values no matter what part of the globe they’re in. This is very frustrating about TikTok.
i wanna change my country to us bcs in my country, when we post on tiktok we dont go viral as much as the americans and i think it’s because our tiktoks go only to people from our country, but the tiktoks from us go to the whole world... am i the only one that is happening this to?
I did the method of removing the SIM card and turning on the VPN and I guess it worked. The region I'm influencing is the US but I created my account in South Africa. I made the change simply bc I don't like South African humour and the content I'm making is more suitable for USA. One of my posts has reached nearly 100k views so I'm skeptical in what you say about VPNs lowering your reach but alright. Only like 12% of my followers are actually from my region lol. Nice video tho
I did the same but the prob is that when I turn off the VPN i go back to my country and I think my content will be shown there which is smth I dont want lol whats your methode
what VPN u use? i tried pandavpn and supervpn but it wont allow me to post my content (stucked at 60%). i only managed to change my fyp content to that region only lol.
@@hananherself4894 Something to note is that if you posted a video while your VPN is in, it will be shown in that country, even if you want to turn it off later. It all depends on what country your VPN was set to when posting the video. So don't worry about turning it off, it will still be shown to those audiences you selected
T VEEE what if i removed my sim card and turned on the VPN and then after i post my video and put my sim card back on. Will it effect the region the video is going to be shown in?
I am an Italian living in Austria. My TikTok content is mainly for an Italian speaking audience, but this stupid app just doesn't want to show my videos in Italy. I don't understand why it isn't able to recognize the language of the video, the hashtags etc and why the creator needs to trick the app to reach the right audience...
@@miguelcarmona3036 I am going to ask a friend in Italy to login to my account and post the videos for me. That seem to me the least complicated way. If it doesn't work, I will just continue as before with Instagram and Triller.
Happy someone finally made an informative video about this. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to change the region of my tik toks. For me, the sim card worked! (Normally in Toronto but temporarily living in Europe with my family during the pandemic). Thanks Joseph!
That’s a such a huge problem. That’s literally the only one reason why I don’t use TikTok. It just shows your content in countries where people simply don’t speak English. Is that so rare problem that they don’t give a damn.
“Removing your sim card is relatively easy, but I wouldn’t take the risk” bruh is just inserting a little needle or a similar size, into a little hole ans taking the little card out, my 8 year old brother can do that
Haha, yeah I know. 😂 I did it myself, it’s just I want to cover myself in case someone claims I told them to remove it and it breaks completely. Just playing it safe.
I was just as surprised to hear Joseph talk about the SIM card as such a delicate component. 😁 In the late 90's, it used to be a thing to take your own Nokias and Motorolas apart to remove batteries and SIM cards to reset after a system failure. And sometimes all the parts just flew over the asphalt when you happened to drop the brick. Then you just calmly reassembled the thing. And it worked again. But I agree, it's probably better to play it safe. 😅💪 - Eero
South African 🇿🇦 here! I really don't understand why they felt the need to limit most of the reach to a local audience (especially since most content would still make sense to nearby countries
I changed my TikTok to another country is in United States, I saw many videos of that regional I love it, but when I posted a video I saw the likers were in my country tho :)) that’s why i’m here.
I'm from Malaysia and this video help me so much.....I'm Muslim respect all religion because our god doesn't teach us to toxic others religion...Even our religion different but we still can be friends
Dude can you teach me? I'm also a new content creator but it seems like my content isn't fit for our country's audience and I want to try to grab the US audience
I’m from germany and I make edits on my tiktok account. My videos take really long but they always just get 100-1k views. When I check the analytics its always atleast 70% german audience. It kinda annoys me. There are other german editors, but their content gets seen by english speaking ppl. Idk what I’m doing wrong. I just want a more international audience.
Okey so basically I was using the method of removing sim and turning on vpn to post in the US but for some reason it doesn’t work anymore!!! So if you have any idea on why could you update us 😭😭 ps. If you having the same problem like so he can see this comment.
THIS is the content I'm looking for 😭😭 I make glass paintings but since I live in Europe I doesn't get as much attention than ppl who live in the US thank u I'll be using this method
hey! I just want to ask what method do you use? because I tried to do the take out the SIM card thing and use VPN it's only last for couple of days and I want to get the attention Europe people
No matter what else advice you might have you’ve already given me one of my top seven best ideas of the day and for that I will follow you thank you sir
I knew it! The type of content that I post is specifically directed towards Egyptians, but my views dropped as soon as I went to America and took out the SIM card from Egypt. Based on my analytics, my content started reaching US audience, but it wasn't doing well because again, my content is mainly for Egyptians. When I put the SIM card back in, I started reaching the Egyptian audience again and my content does really well. You pretty much verified that that's exactly what's happening. It's honestly frustrating!
Hi Joseph, I actually have an american SIM card and live in Argentina. I make content in english. I think the way it works for me, from what I've gathered is it reaches half of my audience from the US and english speaking countries and half of the audience is argentinean. I notice because of my analytics and comment sections. Obviously the audience that stays is the American one, because most people in Argentina don't speak english, but it still affects the algorithm because my video gets shown to Argentineans who don't speak english, so they scroll past and I lose potential organic reach. MY POINT IS that I think another factor that influences this is THE LANGUAGE YOU SPEAK. Tiktok listens to my day to day conversations and uses that to determine which people to show my content too. And I know that because I started taking German lessons, and practicing speaking it, and TikTok has started showing me some content in german and I've been attracting German audiences. It's not a mindset thing because I also have two phones and this thing happens when I speak german near the one phone where I do have TikTok downloaded. I'll try a VPN and let you know if that changes things too. Thank you for your videos, they're awesome!
That happened to me. I live in germany and usually all my videos get shown to germans. Except one video which had like 80% of french viewers lmao. Idk why tho
My first week on tiktok, I got a semi viral video with 1.2 million views where the reached audience was in the phillipines even tho I'm based in norway and posting norwegian videos haha :) I have a large following here in norwy now tho :) But i'm now trying to reach world wide with some english speaking content :)
Hey Joseph, great content. I know you are not certain about this but in regards to the VPN example used with the Italian resident who created his account with the VPN in the US, do you think this would only strictly work when creating the account or could also work if you already have an account and then change the VPN to your desired location?
If only TikTok solved its language issue in Belgium 😅 I want to create more content in my native language, however for us Belgians, TikTok has decided that we all speak French. So all our trending hashtags, viral sounds, effects,... Are in French 🙄 Living and trying to grow in such a divided country is great 😅👌🏻
@@TheJosephTodd I wanted to start a youtube channel but only push videos to a different country, dont want US family seeing it lol. any recommendations? would vpn work? can you do a starting youtube channel tutorial please? :)
Hey Joseph, great video, love your dedication and research on all of these TikTok subjects. I have a situation regarding this topic that I would like to share. I got TikTok account credentials from my US based employer, which was created there, specifically in California and I live in Europe, so my task was to manage that account, but since I started posting on it myself, most of the audiance is from the region where I live and not the US (The content is still exactly the same, all in English audio and captions and everything). Also I am only using this account through a tablet (with no simcard slot) and not a phone so there has never been a sim card in play in my case. Do you think that the IP adress and location of the device at the time of posting are the most relevant factors in determening the location where the videos are shown? Thanks and keep up the grind!
I create post but I get many views from Middle East countries. I am not complaining but I am in US. No idea how my post get attracted by them. How can I change the region? You do not mention about it so if you know any way to change it, let me know.
Dude idk what to say ! U helped me a lot !! I live in the middle east and i just asked my friend from Europe to sign in , i literally got spammed by Europeans, not only from the country she lives in ! When she logged out nothing changed though
Todd I was looking for this exact information since last few days and found you today so ty. Also you forgot to put the link of the VPN you used. Pls do mention the name. Gonna try making another account while VPN is on and test if it works for me Good Day.
so well I tried this. I am from the Czech republic and I would like to target US audience (because in future I want to make youtube videos etc...). So I scrolled about 100x at fyp and it showed me about 30 czech tiktokers. Then I changed VPN to USA (New York) and went to fyp and scrolled about 100x and it showed me about 15 czech tiktokers which is less than before. Last thing what I did was that I let the VPN changed to USA and removed sim-card. Then I scrolled about 100x and it showed me only US tiktokers and 0 czech. So it seems that it may work. My question is - should I change my VPN and remove sim-card everytime I open tiktok? It means when I open tiktok just for fun or for comments reactions etc.....Or should I remove my sim card and change VPN only when I upload video? Thanks for the answer. Peter
I'm still struggling to decide if I wanna put German or English captions on my little gameplay edit videos...I mean German would make more sense cause I guess I won't go viral with this type of content (cause everybody's trying to do the same) but I wanna reach people through hashtags and searches so I might stay english 🤔 ..
Joseph your content is gold as usual, if you can in please make in your next videos the background music little bit down it will be great, so i can concentrate more on the value .. Thank you in advance💕
Great video Joseph, thanks. One thing I wanted to ask: I am posting content in English for a US / Canadian audience, but I'm in Mexico and most of my content is being shown to latin america. For the last 1.5 weeks I've only ever logged into Tiktok with a VPN saying I'm in Canada, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any ideas on how to get my videos shown in USA/Canada?
@@TomKooiman_ Hello, yes I did. I originally bought a few eSims which solved it, but then it made my location Estonia or Belgium, depending on which eSim I used. I tried buying USA ones but no luck. So I just got a canadian SIM when I went back to visit my family and that works.
@@JeffreyMarr did you have to activate a number on a Canada-based service provider ? or as long as you have a Canadian sim inside the phone it will work fine ?
I live in Suriname and This is what I just did: I cleared cache and uninstalled tiktok, i removed sim, I installed vpn (USA), reinstalled tiktok and sign up a new account using email. I tried searching for the “big head” filter cause that one is not available in my country. And guess what, it did not work. Maybe I should try signing up with phone number and use a virtual phone number app. Did it work for someone here? Or did tiktok update their security again to prevent this hack?
I'm very thankful for your tips. So if I would download a VPN and create an account while the VPN is connected to America will my videos for always be recommended to the people in the USA first or will I hva eto connect with my VPN every time I open the app?
Great question! In theory, yes you would as that is what the guy I mentioned lives in Italy does. However, keep in mind that this does not work for everyone and that’s why the best long term strategy is to focus on going viral in your country. Let’s get that TikTok growth! 👌
Superb video Joseph... I have experienced the same.... In my tik tok account, I can see some global audience specially from usa, australia,canada, dubai ....May be that happened because 15+ videos of mine crossed million views.
Yay it works for me. I removed sim card and us VPN. I live in Italy but want to show content to the audience in USA. Before I was seeing feed from Italy, now I start to see feed from USA. But if I put back the local sim card the feed goes back to Italy.
Thank you Joseph! Your video has made me decided to focus on my own region, Indonesia. Hoping to be viral in the future! Keep up the good work!! :) Tiktok: dennisagusdianto
Dope video! I got a question regarding the SIM/VPN method. So if I want to influence in the US, I have to post the videos with the SIM removed and using a VPN for a US city. My question is..I have to do this only until the video is uploaded or I have to wait some time also after the video is uploaded?
When we say “make an account in country of interest” does that mean we make a TikTok from scratch? Meaning not a separate “account” on your same TT profile that you can switch to?
QUESTION: what if i post videos on my tik tok account in enlish and german ? is it bad for the algortihm or is it ok ? for example some videos on english and some in german

Joseph you are so so so so underrated TH-camr im saying it for real!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words. ;)
Hey Joseph, great video, love your dedication and research on all of these TikTok subjects. I have a situation regarding this topic that I would like to share. I got TikTok account credentials from my US based employer, which was created there, specifically in California and I live in Europe, so my task was to manage that account, but since I started posting on it myself, most of the audiance is from the region where I live and not the US (The content is still exactly the same, all in English audio and captions and everything). Also I am only using this account through a tablet (with no simcard slot) and not a phone so there has never been a sim card in play in my case. Do you think that the IP adress and location of the device at the time of posting are the most relevant factors in determening the location where the videos are shown? Thanks and keep up the grind!
Yoo did u use vpns??
I create post but I get many views from Middle East countries. I am not complaining but I am in US. No idea how my post get attracted by them. How can I change the region? You do not mention about it so if you know any way to change it, let me know.
Can I ask some questions?...ummm...I removed my sim card I installed a vpn and it's still not working
Tiktok has a new update 😭

Dude idk what to say ! U helped me a lot !! I live in the middle east and i just asked my friend from Europe to sign in , i literally got spammed by Europeans, not only from the country she lives in ! When she logged out nothing changed though
He said it wouldn’t effect your video. Your region is decided by the place where your account was made
Todd I was looking for this exact information since last few days and found you today so ty. Also you forgot to put the link of the VPN you used. Pls do mention the name. Gonna try making another account while VPN is on and test if it works for me Good Day.
Thank you so much i have searched for this for a long time
I needed this bc from the cointry im from nobody follows and likes but i work my butt off
Thankss. Super helpful
so well I tried this. I am from the Czech republic and I would like to target US audience (because in future I want to make youtube videos etc...). So I scrolled about 100x at fyp and it showed me about 30 czech tiktokers.
Then I changed VPN to USA (New York) and went to fyp and scrolled about 100x and it showed me about 15 czech tiktokers which is less than before.
Last thing what I did was that I let the VPN changed to USA and removed sim-card. Then I scrolled about 100x and it showed me only US tiktokers and 0 czech. So it seems that it may work.
My question is - should I change my VPN and remove sim-card everytime I open tiktok? It means when I open tiktok just for fun or for comments reactions etc.....Or should I remove my sim card and change VPN only when I upload video? Thanks for the answer. Peter
Congratulations! You Just Got A New Subscriber xx
Thanks Dave! 😀
How come 40% of your audience is from the UK if you're in the US? Does TikTok still think it's the same country? Great video, btw
Same language

Nice video bro
I'm still struggling to decide if I wanna put German or English captions on my little gameplay edit videos...I mean German would make more sense cause I guess I won't go viral with this type of content (cause everybody's trying to do the same) but I wanna reach people through hashtags and searches so I might stay english 🤔 ..
thank you for creating such valuable content.
Who’s here the night before TikTok gets banned??😭😭
I've got high hope for TikTok! Not to worry....👍
No
THANK YOU... love your vids!
I've been trying to figure out how to do this. I've been trying a vpn
titkok: reginafaulknor
I tried it too, but the vpn app made everything weird on the tiktok app, idk how to explain it, maybe it's just my phone
Teacheratn : Become Fluent It did a little my content has been reaching US audiences. Used to be 1% like last week now it’s at 10%
Regina Antoinette how much is it now? And that is a big change
Good info bro
Portugal here! Olá a todos os Jovens Incriveis! 😃
Joseph your content is gold as usual, if you can in please make in your next videos the background music little bit down it will be great, so i can concentrate more on the value .. Thank you in advance💕
Yes, for sure I'll do that. Thanks for the feedback Lamia! Much appreciated. ;)
@@TheJosephTodd 💕
If I use a VPN, I have to take off my SIM card every time I use TIK TOK ?
Not necessarily, but the percentage of views from other countries won't that high as without the sim card
he explained it better than anyone i’ve seen
Thanks! I’ve got an update on this video coming soon. ✌️
This used to work but now it doesn’t! Do you have any other methods?😭
Literally why I’m back on his video 😭
@@johnnysmith5618 😭😭😭we have to find a new way
@@inahaze8055 I haven’t posed sense then you know any nw ways ????
omg it’s doesn’t work for me😭😭 i think it’s because we did the lasted TikTok update
@@johnnysmith5618 no i dont 😭
Very informative - got all the answers! Thanks a mil :)
My tiktok and cellphone are english. But my “Discover” page is all portuguese from Brazil
you need a vpn! i havent tried uploading videos yet but everything else is from the us with vpn!
same
Am from Uganda, been looking for this information everywhere. Definitely right person
Great video Joseph, thanks. One thing I wanted to ask: I am posting content in English for a US / Canadian audience, but I'm in Mexico and most of my content is being shown to latin america.
For the last 1.5 weeks I've only ever logged into Tiktok with a VPN saying I'm in Canada, but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Any ideas on how to get my videos shown in USA/Canada?
Hey Jeffrey, did you figure this out already? Hope to hear from you soon!
@@TomKooiman_ Hello, yes I did. I originally bought a few eSims which solved it, but then it made my location Estonia or Belgium, depending on which eSim I used. I tried buying USA ones but no luck.
So I just got a canadian SIM when I went back to visit my family and that works.
@@JeffreyMarr did you have to activate a number on a Canada-based service provider ? or as long as you have a Canadian sim inside the phone it will work fine ?
@@ayoitslord as long as you have the sim in you’re good
I live in Suriname and This is what I just did: I cleared cache and uninstalled tiktok, i removed sim, I installed vpn (USA), reinstalled tiktok and sign up a new account using email. I tried searching for the “big head” filter cause that one is not available in my country. And guess what, it did not work. Maybe I should try signing up with phone number and use a virtual phone number app. Did it work for someone here? Or did tiktok update their security again to prevent this hack?
I'm very thankful for your tips. So if I would download a VPN and create an account while the VPN is connected to America will my videos for always be recommended to the people in the USA first or will I hva eto connect with my VPN every time I open the app?
Great question! In theory, yes you would as that is what the guy I mentioned lives in Italy does. However, keep in mind that this does not work for everyone and that’s why the best long term strategy is to focus on going viral in your country. Let’s get that TikTok growth! 👌
@@TheJosephTodd I see well thanks I'm. Happy that I'm subscribed 😊
Superb video Joseph... I have experienced the same.... In my tik tok account, I can see some global audience specially from usa, australia,canada, dubai ....May be that happened because 15+ videos of mine crossed million views.
Can you give us a new hack? Its not working anymore
This video is what i need, thank you
my country tiktoks is so cringy thats why im here
It’s your Sim card. I use other country sim card and they are showing me that country content to the country im actually living in.
it’s doesn’t work anymore😭 can u give us a new hack pls
Bro what messenger were you talking about
. th-cam.com/video/r8y3qVgt3vo/w-d-xo.html
Yay it works for me. I removed sim card and us VPN. I live in Italy but want to show content to the audience in USA. Before I was seeing feed from Italy, now I start to see feed from USA. But if I put back the local sim card the feed goes back to Italy.
Does only vpn works?

Problem with dominating my region is that I Don't wanna event have single person from my region cause it's not my target at all :D
Thank you Joseph! Your video has made me decided to focus on my own region, Indonesia. Hoping to be viral in the future! Keep up the good work!! :)

Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Very Valueable Joseph, thanks alot!
Dope video! I got a question regarding the SIM/VPN method. So if I want to influence in the US, I have to post the videos with the SIM removed and using a VPN for a US city. My question is..I have to do this only until the video is uploaded or I have to wait some time also after the video is uploaded?
Hey, check out my 2022 updated version of this video! 👍
@@TheJosephTodd aah dope, thanks, going to watch it rn!
It depends on the region of your Apple/ Google /Store . I removed my SIM and changed my VPN and it didn’t work.
When we say “make an account in country of interest” does that mean we make a TikTok from scratch? Meaning not a separate “account” on your same TT profile that you can switch to?
QUESTION: what if i post videos on my tik tok account in enlish and german ? is it bad for the algortihm or is it ok ? for example some videos on english and some in german
I've been looking for information about this for so long!
Thanks for all those information!♥ Should i have the sim card off only when uploading my content or also when using the app??
Waiting for my USA sim to arrive then I'm starting completely fresh...
