Growing organically on TikTok (fast or slow) to achieve big view counts and follower growth numbers is not easy, nor is it a straight-line approach - in other words, there’s no ‘perfect process’ involved to achieve consistent, ‘viral-like’ growth. 

However, there is a process to help increase your chances of achieving ‘viral growth/view counts’ - and if you’re in the fitness apparel/leisurewear industry and you’re looking for inspiration on who’s doing TikTok growth well, then you’ll love these examples from household to fast-growing brands. 

Note: there are many takeaways you can take from each when you go through them, but I've just focused on sharing high-level notes and commentary for context - you can then do your own further research. :)
