Short answer: keep one tracking sheet with a row per post and columns for account, platform, post link, posting date and views at fixed checkpoints. Capture the numbers from each app's own stats on a regular routine, then roll them up per account to see which pages to keep, fix or drop. Consistency in when you capture matters more than the tool you use.
The tracking sheet
| Column | Example | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Post ID | 0142 | Your own reference |
| Account | @example.clips1 | Per-account rollups |
| Platform | TikTok | Compare like with like |
| Niche / campaign | Podcast A | Which source works |
| Post link | URL | Proof and quick checks |
| Posted at | 2026-09-10 18:00 | Timing patterns |
| Length (s) | 42 | Length experiments |
| Hook | "He quit at the top" | Hook experiments |
| Views day 1 | Early signal | |
| Views day 7 | Settled number | |
| Status | Live / removed | Housekeeping |
Capturing at fixed ages (day 1, day 7) lets you compare posts fairly. A post checked at three days old and another at three weeks old aren't comparable.
Where the numbers come from
Each platform shows stats in its own app for the account's posts, and the detail available depends on account type and platform. Check each platform's help pages for what your account can see. Public view counts on the post itself are a quick fallback.
Campaign platforms may track views for you. Whop's Content Rewards docs say its system "automatically tracks views" for submissions (Whop Docs, as of 17 September 2026). Keep your own sheet anyway, so you can check against it. See proving views.
A capture routine
- Daily: add yesterday's posts and fill in day-1 views.
- Weekly: fill day-7 views for last week's posts.
- Weekly: roll up per account.
| Account | Posts this week | Median day-7 views | Best post | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| @example.clips1 | 7 | 0142 | Keep | |
| @example.clips2 | 7 | 0139 | Test new hooks | |
| @example.clips3 | 5 | — | Review niche |
Use the median rather than the average; one viral post can hide a page that is otherwise stalling.
Acting on the numbers
- All posts low across a page: check for duplicates and originality. See why reposted clips get no views.
- One niche beats another: move effort to it. See niche selection.
- Length or hook patterns: test one variable at a time.
- A page never recovers: retire it rather than posting more of the same.
Never try to lift numbers with bought views or engagement schemes.
Keeping the sheet honest
- Record removed posts instead of deleting their rows; gaps hide problems.
- Note changes in a comments column: new hook style, new niche, new posting time.
- Don't cherry-pick. Log every post, not just the good ones.
- Separate campaigns with a column so paid and organic results don't blur.
A sheet that includes the failures is the one that tells you what to stop doing.
Where Farmero fits
Farmero doesn't show view counts. What it gives your sheet is a reliable record of what went out: each post is marked "posted" only after it shows up on the profile, anything unconfirmed is flagged "uncertain," and a report of what posted, didn't or was refused goes to the Mac and optionally Telegram or ntfy. Its local MCP server also lets Claude read fleet status and queue posts. See the MCP server.
FAQ
What is the easiest way to track views across many accounts?
A single spreadsheet with a row per post and fixed capture times, filled from each app's own stats.
How often should I update view counts?
Pick fixed checkpoints, such as day 1 and day 7, and stick to them so posts are comparable.
Should I use averages or medians per account?
Medians. A single viral post can make an average look healthy when most posts are not.
Can I track TikTok, Reels and Shorts in the same sheet?
Yes. Add a platform column and compare within each platform.
