Which metrics are most important for new accounts?

While views are important, 'Saves' are a high-intent signal that your content provides value, and the 'Follower Conversion Rate' indicates how well your profile and content resonate with your niche.

What is a 'cold start' on Xiaohongshu?

A cold start refers to the critical first 1-4 weeks of a new account where you must use strategic preparation and rapid testing to gain initial traction and identify your target audience.

How many followers do I need to stop using the cold start strategy?

This strategy is specifically designed for accounts with fewer than 1,000 followers. Once you reach 1,000+ followers and have a stable content direction, you should move to general growth or monetization tactics.

How often should I post during the testing phase?

The strategy recommends posting up to 3 times per day (morning, afternoon, and evening) during the first 7-14 days to maximize data collection and discovery potential.
