Low views despite a decent view-to-like ratio

Hi everyone,

I'm new to TikTok marketing and had a couple of questions. My videos seem to have a decent view-to-like ratio (around 265 views and 19 likes) and an average watch time of 3.73s/5s total length, but they’re getting very few views overall. Is this normal for a new account? Is it even possible to get thousands of views right away with a fresh account?

I’m targeting an international audience, but I’m wondering if there’s something I need to do in terms of my account setup. For example, do I need to use a SIM card from a specific country or change any settings to make my content more visible to audiences in other regions?

Also, I’m posting from my PC using TikTok’s web app, but I’ve heard that TikTok favors posts made through the mobile app. Is this true?

Thanks in advance for your help!
