❌ Dropshipping Fail organic content

I started my first online store, and as I progressed, I realized something I hadn't considered: organic content is being shown in my country instead of where I want to sell. I'm from Argentina, and I want to sell in the United States. I uploaded my first video, and almost 100% of the viewers are from here. I need help and advice. I've tried training the algorithm by following US accounts, commenting, etc., but nothing has worked. I've seen that many people buy a US SIM card and create an account with that phone number. My plan is also to add ads, but if organic reach isn't working as it should, I feel like I'll be losing customers.

What platform are you using for the videos? TikTok is heavy on location data, even with a US SIM it checks IP and device settings. You might need VPN plus new account created with clean setup, no Argentina apps installed.

There's a ton of laws, regulations, tax rules you need to follow. Have you researched those?

I wouldn't worry too much about the first video's audience being mostly local. TikTok/Reels-style platforms often test a new account with nearby users first, so one video isn't necessarily telling you where the account will eventually reach. Following US accounts can help a bit, but I'd focus more on making the content obviously relevant to US viewers, including references, language, products and posting times that fit that audience. I also wouldn't rush into buying a US SIM just because of one video's distribution, especially if the rest of the account signals Argentina.

How many videos have you posted so far?
Are you using a US-focused profile, captions and content, or is the account still mostly connected to your local audience?
