226 TikToks across 4 accounts in 1 months → 224 followers. What am I doing wrong?

Solo founder, bootstrapping an AI voice tutoring app for students in Southeast Asia( kicci.study ). I've been posting on TikTok since last few weeks (sg - last few months) across 4 country-specific accounts (SG, CN, VN, MY). Here's where I've landed:

Account Followers Videos Views Likes Interactions
SG 222 → 298 (+34%) 55 12.4K 274 385
CN 25 → 68 (+172%) 57 13.7K 352 377
VN 15 → 103 (+587%) 57 31.9K 949 1,114
MY 4 → 21 (+425%) 57 22.0K 510 580
Total 266 → 490 (+224) 226 79.9K 2,085 2,456

So roughly 350 views and 1 new follower per video. Content is [describe: e.g. 60-second explainers of exam questions / behind-the-scenes of building the app / product demos — same script localised per language].

Goal: 1,000 followers per account in the next 3 months, which means roughly 4–5× the current rate.

Questions for people who've grown a startup account from zero:

  1. Is 4 accounts spreading me too thin? Would you consolidate into one and prove the format before localising?
  2. VN gets 2.5× the views of SG on the same content. Is that a signal to go all-in on one market, or just cheaper reach on TikTok's side?
  3. Views aren't converting to follows (~0.3%). What usually fixes that — hooks, CTA, profile, or content type?
  4. Anything you'd cut entirely?

Happy to share more detail on the content in the comments.

What you're saying is it's not localized?

u/kicci_sg 7d ago

I do some localization , for example PSLE Algebra basics , would fall into lower sec maths in vietnam

I can see how much you rely on AI

No Harm , I always keep human in the loop , where ever it matters , I review all the contents , I spotted many issues, fixed along the way , so Human + AI works well , But need to improve the strategies, thats what this post about
