I Blew Up My TikTok Following As Fast As I Could!

0:00 I blew up my Tik Tok following as fast as I could from Z to 54 million views in months not years and from Zer to 275,000 followers on Tik Tok alone my name is Sabrina ramov if you don't know me I previously sold my AI company for millions of dollars and now I teach AI education for free and have built a community of over 500,000 followers in the first 6 months without paying for a VA a team courses masterminds School communities fancy equipment or anything else and here are my stats I'll refresh the page so you know it's legit so last 365 days and on June 1st 8 months ago I only had 2,000 followers I was stuck there I'm going to share everything so that you can fast track from zero to 100,000 followers in the next 90 days

0:45 here's my 2025 updated Playbook step one choose a single Niche most people don't know but when I started making content I was choosing between multiple niches Utah outdoor Life Book Club women entrepreneurs and AI I made the classic mistake of making all sorts of videos related to these different niches my rocket ship growth didn't start until I actually chose one Niche and stuck to it so my advice to everyone beginning is just to choose one and commit to it step two create a new Tik Tok account to learn from the best creators in your Niche if you have an old Tik Tok account that you've used like a real person I recommend using that old Tik Tok account as your main account you're going to post from doesn't matter what you've post po before you can hide stuff you

1:31 don't want people seeing however I still recommend creating a secondary new account and curating the for you page with content in your Niche that way you can always go to that Tik Tok account and find fresh viral content from creators in your Niche step three once you've set up that new account and you followed a bunch of creators in your Niche you've taught the Tik Tok algorithm hey this is the type of content I want to see now what you're going to do is literally sit there for 30 minutes scroll the for you page make a note of any Tik Tok video that stops your scroll that grabs your attention what you're going to do next is copy the hooks from those videos and when I say hook I just mean the first five maybe 10 seconds of the video usually it's a

2:16 title there might be something visual going on to get your attention the hook is the single most important part of every piece of content if you ask any big Creator out there it is by far the number one most important thing because every single platform wants viewers to stick around to watch your video if you can deliver that then the platform is going to push out your video to many more viewers it's a win-win for you and the platform and the viewer now to supplement your search I've also curated a list of a thousand viral short form video hooks from Tik Tok Instagram reals and YouTube shorts you can grab it for free here the link is going to be in my newsletter and when you scan these you might think some of the hooks are cringy but they really do work there's a reason why people you know use this hook X

3:03 things that feel illegal to know over and over again because it creates curiosity Intrigue and people have to watch so those are two ways to get inspiration for Your Hooks number one go to your new Tik Tok account and scroll through fresh viral content and truly study the first 5 to 10 seconds of each video that catches your attention number two look at this curated list of a thousand viral short form video hooks step four this is the hardest part every body gets tripped up on this you have to get your first 100 videos out of the way ASAP and do not use automation whether you're filming yourself in a talking head video or you're doing faceless videos doesn't matter just get your first 100 videos out of the way ASAP don't worry about AI don't worry about

3:49 automation just do it manually for the first 100 most content creators fail simply because they give up too early then they go into a thought spiral wondering like oh is this really for me is this really going to work out I don't want to be embarrassed anymore that this is failing your biggest enemy is yourself it's a mental game the fastest way to win this game is to get over it rip the Band-Aid off publish 100 videos as fast as you can you're going to learn a lot about yourself in the process what is your voice what is the brands you want to cultivate who are you serving what topics actually interest you and energize you how do you want to film your videos how do you want want to come across do you want to script your videos or go raw unedited these are all things you figure out through a lot of trial

4:36 and error in your first 100 videos but how do you do that so we've talked about using other creators hooks as inspiration or my viral hooks databas as inspiration for the first 5 to 10 seconds of your video for the rest of the video copy proven templates in your Niche so for example for me I mainly have a Lov experience with talking head educational videos which by the way are pretty boring it's hard for those to go viral if you're not using things like a lot of visuals uh Sensational content your looks something funny entertaining going on it's hard to make a talking head educational video do well time and time again but here are some common templates that I've noticed tend to work consistently well for me number one

5:22 listicles for example seven YouTube videos to learn this specific skill number two negative hooks like stop doing this it's almost like a pattern interrupt people want to know what it is they're doing wrong number three is tutorials how to build apps how to do this specific thing how I achieve the specific outcome and number four is breaking news a lot of influencers will use a hook like this is insane which Sparks a lot of curiosity it's a bit overdone but it Sparks a lot of curiosity now these templates may not be relevant to your Niche which is why you have that second Tik Tok account okay you're going to search for keywords in your Niche watch the videos that come up and observe the pattern what are the recurring templates in the most viral

6:09 videos now you may object I've basically told you to copy and copy and copy a lot and the truth is this is what everyone does anyway in the beginning because you're just trying to figure everything out so I'm just being brutally honest here I'm not sugar coating what you're doing copy proven hooks that work copy proven templates that work in your niche after your first 100 videos you'll actually start to develop a style and an opinion and your own templates and formats and you're not going to be copying other people as much in my own Tik Tok accounts I don't follow AI people follow animal videos skiing videos hiking videos entertainments because I don't need to copy other people you'll get to that point too but again purpose of this guide is to go from zero to 100,000 as fast as possible

6:57 so highly recommend just doing this let me prescribe the plan the playbook for you just follow it now you're starting to make videos but you notice you're stuck in the 200 view jail the key thing that unlocked my videos going from 200 to consistently 1, 5,000 is using specific keywords to tell Tik Tok what I'm talking about I'm going to demo it here so when you watch your video on Tik Tok check the search bar at the top so let me open this one you don't want it to say find related Concept in the top search bar here instead you want the search bar populated with your video's main keywords in this case AI generated video here's another one here you can see the top keyword is chat GPT you

7:43 don't want that to say find related content again you want it populated with your video's main keyword and the best way to do that is to include the keyword all over the place in your title in your description I repeat it again in the hashtags and I verbally say the words multiple times Ai and chat gbt within this single video that teaches Tik Tok what you're talking about so it can figure out which audience to show your video to this was the biggest unlock going from 200 view jail to consistently 1, 5,000 and 10,000 views per video now let's talk about your Cadence your schedule this is truly for folks who are serious about growing on Tik Tok if Tik Tok is not going to be your primary Channel then you don't need to do this

8:28 but if you're serious about growing on Tik Tok unlocking it as a channel for your personal brand or your business this is what I would prescribe post at least three times per day space it out you know at least one to two hours between each video and less than 30 seconds per video the reason for that in the beginning keep the video short so you don't burn out uh if you're putting in a lot of time editing videos and getting zero views you're just going to be sad and burn out and give up which is the number one reason why most creators fail they just quit too early you do do not need fancy equipment fancy editing or fancy looks I do everything with my iPhone front camera which is the worst camera and I edit it natively in the Tik Tock mobile app you know nothing else and I don't wear makeup I don't doll up but it's up to you ultimately what brand

9:16 you want to build I personally want to show up raw authentic and mostly unedited I'll cut out bloopers but if you want your brand to be polished or luxury or exude a certain aesthetic then absolutely go for it however just make sure you're not using that as an excuse make sure you're still posting three times per day even if you plan to do a little more post-processing or prep work for each video If You rewatch this video and truly follow steps 1 through 7 you will be successful guaranteed I've already had a handful of folks who followed my previous Tik Tok growth Playbook and now are well on their way to 100,000 followers there is more than enough opportunity for everyone and it is Absolut abolutely not too late okay

10:01 when I started making AI content I thought I was too late but it's just absolutely not true there's always going to be demand for people who share valuable content whether it's educational or entertaining key point I want to emphasize here don't spend too long thinking about all of this stuff read it go try to implement it and get 100 videos out of the way as quickly as you can by posting three times a day once you taste that success you will just continue having success because you're going to keep going you're not going to quit again most creators I've observed fail because they simply quit too early they quit before they taste that little bit of success once you taste it however I'm not worried about you you're just going to keep going it's self-reinforcing Advanced tips for when you start having success I only have two

10:47 regrets as a Creator number one is not starting earlier and number two is not repurposing my content earlier so all of the information above I hope helps you start now and succeed now number two start repurposing your content to other platforms I waited months and months before I started repurposing my Tik Tok see Instagram and I don't do any additional editing I crosspost the same exact video it literally takes me zero additional effort I have an automation that does it and now I have 210,000 followers on Instagram but imagine if I had started several months earlier I'd have 300,000 followers on Instagram and it would have cost me nothing you'll be so glad you started earlier because the initial growth curve on other platforms

11:32 is steeper than Tik Tok I would still say Tik Tok is the easiest to get started on it's the most generous in terms of uh discoverability and pushing your contents out to new audiences by the way I know I talk about blow a lot but number two is truly the reason I built B for myself I wanted an easy way to plug in my content that I've already made already invested time in and then instantly repurpose it into different variations for LinkedIn threads Twitter Blue Sky my newsletter Etc and also vice versa being able to take this long form YouTube video that I'm putting a lot of time into creating and repurpose it into social media posts and Tik Tok video scripts certainly now blow has a lot more features but the core core core problem I built it to solve is number

12:19 two being able to repurpose your content and be everywhere with minimal additional effort okay the last Advanced tip is in your bio offer some kind of irresistible lead magnet that drives followers to your email list you want to grow your email list as early as possible trust me it's your most valuable highest Roi channel for example if you look at my Tik Tok you'll see free AI prompts with a pointy arrow and then it goes to this simple landing page over here where it explains everything you get for free if you subscribe to my free AI newsletter point of this landing page is to make it an absolutely no-brainer decision for somebody to subscribe for my newsletter you get all of this for free personally I prefer one

13:05 single Link in your bio like this and I have the same on my Instagram and other accounts rather than complex link trees or stors But ultimately it depends on your goals and offers in the funnel you're building now let's talk about troubleshooting because a lot of people think they're Shadow Bann but actually their content is just bad if you're views are consistently fewer than 50 like 10 videos in a row each video fewer than 50 views you're Shadow baned yeah something's wrong with your account uh this especially happens to brand new accounts which is why I recommend if you have an aged older Tik Tok account just use that as your primary account hide all of your past videos you don't want other people to see now if your views are consistently around 200 nothing is wrong with your account your account is perfectly healthy but again Tik Tok

13:52 doesn't know the topic of your videos like we talked about earlier click on your video it should not say find ated content at the top so it be very very explicit using keywords like AI or AI Tools in your video's title description audio when you're speaking out loud Etc once you fix that you should be consistently around 1,000 and then 5,000 or more now if a single video is stuck at low views but the rest of your account is fine all you have to do is change that video's privacy setting to private close out the Tik Tok app reopen the Tik Tok app and then switch that video's privacy setting back to public and this still happens even if you are a mature account for example if you're using highly controversial terms related

14:37 to politics and money so don't freak out about it this is the fix now I'm going to talk about Creator search insights it's a tool made available by Tik Tok that allows you to see what people are searching for and also content gaps what people are searching for but there isn't enough content around so Tik Tok is literally asking you to make content on those topics so it can serve it to the people searching for it and this is a really great tool to get a sense of like what people are actually watching on Tik Tok and it's real- time updated so if you get lucky you're one of the First videos on a trend that ends up popping uh for example deep seek if you're an AI then your video just Rises and Rises it can grow quite explosively to use Creator search insights open up Tik Tok click home click the search bar at the

15:24 top right and then literally search Creator search insights I don't know Tik Tok makes it this difficult to go here but here you're going to see this screen click view okay and now you're in Creator search insights it should say Creator search insights at the top so here it's going to suggest a bunch of topics to talk about now click trending real quick what's crazy you're going to see like millions and millions and millions of people searching different topics if you're still trying to figure out like what are the three most important keywords for your Niche this is where I would start so you can see like what people are actually searching for and how they articulate those queries like what are the specific keywords they're actually typing to get your kind of content and there are two features here that I love using one is

16:09 content Gap Okay click that this basically shows you stuff people are searching for but Tik Tok doesn't have enough videos for those Search terms so it's asking you to make more videos the content Gap is suggested based on the type of content you make so some of these are related to AI some of these are not related to AI but if you want to search specifically in your Niche click the search bar at the top now for example if I type in AI now I'm going to get all of these trending keywords related to ai ai glass 1.8 million AI generated videos 1.45 million Etc bookmark the ones you like okay so it's saved and then creates a video directly from here click the red button creates now Tik Tok knows you're trying to create a video to fill in that content Gap if you're making a video for a

16:56 specific keyword like generate AI video use that exact phrase everywhere in your video incorporate it into the title the description multiple times your script when you're speaking so it's in the caption as well when people search for that specific phrase your video is much more likely to appear in those searches going from zero to 100,000 as fast as possible Creator search insights is going to be your best friend and secret hack because you literally have insight into what people want to watch I don't normally do this but I decided to make seven videos in a row using Creator search insights so the first four videos below I posted on Thursday just two days ago the last three videos I posted just yesterday so half of these haven't even had 24 hours yet and to keep it simple I

17:42 use the exact keywords from Creator search insights as a video title and I sprinkled it in the description too and then the number of views I just took it from today Saturday morning obviously the videos I posted first at the top have had more time to reach more viewers so keep that in mind with when you're looking at these numbers here were the different trending topics and keywords that I found when I searched AI how to create an app had 300,000 searches this is the percentage search increase which Tik Tok shows you as well deep seek free and open source how to create AI generated video operator AI for task automation AI generated script how to go viral on Tik Tok 2025 and AI websites now I'm going to pull up my profile so you can see so here's how to create an app here's deep seek free and open source how to create AI generat video

18:29 operator ai ai generated scripts how to go viral on Tik Tok and AI websites I put a spin on this three deep seek AI websites so that it wasn't super generic I have an automation that posts to Instagram automatically as well so you can see the performance of those videos here right how to create an app is the best performing one again it's also had the most time so now if we add that all up how many views did I actually get using Creator search insights 23 9,000 views in the past 48 hours and keep in mind Tik Tok is actually great at pushing videos out over time and surfacing those keyword loaded videos when people search so I fully expect at least three of these videos to grow past

19:14 100,000 views unlike platforms like LinkedIn Twitter threads and blue sky where you post something and it's just gone forever past the initial 24 hours it is just gone and completely irrelevant and in the void and you're not going to get get any additional discoverability from that content Tik Tok is totally different like I have had videos that initially were quite slow then for whatever reason it just continuously grew and grew or spiked up it's not as Evergreen content as a YouTube video for example but it's surprisingly more Evergreen than you might think and if you're reading this starting from zero or close to zero I just want you to know this is completely achievable right I just walked you through how I use Creator search insights grab the newsletter Link in the

20:00 description of this video and you can see exactly how I made each video now this video wouldn't be complete without something related to AI so here's an AI prompt that writes a Tik Tok video script given some Source material which you paste in at the bottom of the prompt and in the newsletter by the way I I put a link tips to personalize the prompt to make it sound more like you I personally don't like to read exactly from a script because I don't want to sound too stiff but it's really helpful to organize key points so you just simply copy paste the output of this prompt into Tik tok's green screen Effect called teleprompter in order to see the script while you're filming now I'm going to show you the exact workflow I use when I use that prompt so first I log into Blow first click add source and if you already have

20:45 an article or YouTube video or podcast in mind that you want to remix into a Tik Tok script you can go ahead and add that here but let's say you're not sure what to make a video on I like to use perplexity to find breaking AI news so here's the prompt V find viral trending news about insert your topic here let's say deep seek AI this past week I'm based in the US so I want to prioritize new sources based in the US or Europe now BL is going to call the perplexity API and go do the research for you so that you don't have to sit there on Twitter and deal with a fire hose of data Taiwan bans deep seek AI over National Security that's a good one it's dos attacks deep seek ai's coding can transfer users data directly to the Chinese governments deeps AI raises

21:30 National Security concerns all of these are really really good topics obviously if you want to change the topic just replace deep seek AI this is pretty interesting so I'll grab the article URL and now what you can do is you can either add the article as a source but on major news websites like ABC they have anti-scraping defenses so I just tell perplexity extract this news article so now perplexity summarize the article for us which is terrific and let's say I want to make a Tik Tok post here's the prompt Tik Tok video script that I previously showed you and it's currently trained on my videos if you want to train it on viral videos in your Niche all you have to do is replace this example script with a viral video script from your Niche and same here for example two basically this AI prompt

22:16 says Hey learn from these two sample viral Tik Tok video scripts in order to write a new video script and just click generate and it'll generate that draft Tik Tok video script and let's say you don't like this version you can generate as many many times as you want I'll usually generate like five times and choose the one that I like best and personally for me I like my output a little longer because it's easier to trim right I can look at this and be like I don't want this another thing I like to do by the way is to brainstorm Tik Tok Instagram video hooks so this prompt is trained on a thousand plus viral hooks that I showed you earlier and it's just a quick way to get lots of different hook ideas eyeballing this like this one caught my eye the dark secret behind deep seek AI app this one's actually pretty good too 99% of deep seek users do not understand this

23:03 copy paste the hook I like although I like this hook to combine them like this 99% of tech users do do not understand this your data may be sent straight to China make any small edits here again I don't strictly read from a script like I'm comfortable enough to just riff off of the script but I do spend the most time making sure the first two sentences are are really good hooks the next thing I'll show you is how to use the green screen effect called teleprompter in Tik Tok and it's super easy so if you're pretty happy with this script click copy text and message it to yourself so you get it on your phone here I just messaged myself through Discord so I'm going to click copy text then I'm going to open Tik Tock and click plus click on this button on the bottom left it might look different for you these are the

23:48 different Tik Tok effects so there are only three I use green screen photo Green Screen Video and sometimes teleprompter so click the search icon on to find teleprompter teleprompter 652 th000 videos go ahead and click that and this is what it looks like make sure you remove the music and paste in your text here okay and you can change the speed so if you want it to go faster if you want the font to be smaller just depending on the pace that you're comfortable speaking at that's pretty much it just hit record if you like this video hit like hit subscribe drop a comment below I'm Sabrina ramov thanks for watching
