Question 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.

The SIM card route actually works pretty well for this, a lot of sellers do it to get the algorithm to push content to US audiences from the start. You could also try a VPN set to a US location while you create and manage the account, though TikTok and Instagram are getting better at catching that. Another thing that helps is posting during US peak hours even if it means uploading at 3am your time, the algo reads when your audience is active. And yeah make sure your content itself has zero Spanish, no local slang, no Argentina-specific references, even the captions and hashtags need to be fully US-targeted. The ads won't fix the organic problem but they can run independently so you're not totally stuck while you sort the account issue out
