Growing on TikTok becomes easier when you understand how the platform thinks. Timothy Armoo explains the system with complete clarity.

Most founders post on TikTok without understanding how the platform decides who sees what. In this Bite sized Screw It Just DO It episode, Timothy Armoo strips away the guesswork. He explains why niche dominance matters, how to warm the algorithm, and why video level performance beats follower count every time. His approach is built from running campaigns for global brands and seeing what actually drives reach. These insights apply to any founder trying to grow an audience, test messaging or build trust online. His view of TikTok as a behaviour engine rather than a social network gives you a clearer way to work with the platform instead of fighting it.

Guest Note:

Timothy Armoo is the co founder of Fanbytes, one of Europe’s largest Gen Z marketing agencies.
