Real Creator Case Studies : From 0 to 100K Followers

Breaking through on TikTok or Instagram might seem like a mystery, but the truth is—there's a method behind the magic. At D24, we've had the chance to work closely with creators from all backgrounds, helping them grow from zero to over 100,000 followers with real results, smart strategies, and creative consistency. Here are three quick case studies from our network showing how everyday creators became rising stars—with support from the D24 team.

Case Study 1: Jayden

The Gamer with No Face Cam

When Jayden joined D24, he had just 28 followers and posted clips of his Fortnite wins from his console.

The Problem:

His videos were low-quality and lacked personality. He wasn’t talking, showing his face, or connecting with viewers.

What We Did:

• Helped him set up a simple voiceover workflow using his iPhone and a cheap lapel mic.
• Suggested adding captions, short intros, and using trending sounds to boost visibility.
• Scheduled posts 3x a week using game update trends and funny fails.

Results

Within 2 months, one of his voiceover clips went viral, bringing in over 300K views. Jayden hit 100K followers in just under 5 months and now earns income from creator funds and Twitch referrals.

Case Study 2: Mia

The Dancer Who Stopped Overthinking

Mia loved to dance but spent hours editing and planning each video. She had great energy but barely posted, afraid it 'wasn't good enough.'

The Problem:

Perfectionism. She was posting 1 video every two weeks—too slow for the algorithm to pick her up.

What We Did:

• Assigned her a content coach who helped her build a “10-minute content routine.”
• Encouraged her to use natural lighting and phone filters—no complex edits.
• Focused on “energy over perfection,” encouraging 4-5 uploads per week.

Results

After consistently posting fun, short dances using trending sounds, Mia grew from 100 to 120K followers in 4 months. She now collaborates with beauty brands through D24 and has booked live shows.

Case Study 3: Aiden

The Singer-Songwriter Who Just Needed a Boost

Aiden wrote beautiful songs but had no clue how to promote them. He uploaded occasional videos of full songs, but they didn’t reach many people.

The Problem:

He was missing the short-form content strategy—his videos were too long and not optimized for TikTok's audience.

What We Did:

• Helped him cut 15-second highlights of his hooks and post them as “audition” clips.
• Worked with him to film reactions and behind-the-scenes moments for more variety.
• Promoted 1 of his best performing clips through D24's internal creator network.

Results

One of his 15-second clips was shared widely, gaining 700K views. Aiden reached 100K followers in 6 months and now uses TikTok to drive streams on Spotify and Apple Music.
