Trying to Go Viral in One Week
Introduction
Given just one week to make a splash on TikTok because someone told me it was easy, I devised a unique strategy. My plan centered on creating filters, something I have a knack for. Sometimes, these filters perform exceptionally well right off the bat. Here’s a day-by-day breakdown of my attempt to go viral using this approach.
Day 1: Flappy Bird Recreation
I kicked off the week by recreating the classic game Flappy Bird and posting a video of myself playing it. Despite its precision, the video yielded a mere 4-second watch time.
Day 2: Baby Rapping with Friday Night Funkin Template
Leveraging my Friday Night Funkin template, I posted a video of a baby rapping. This video managed to capture more attention but didn't meet my viral aspirations.
Day 3: Tidle Wave Filter
I uploaded a filter named Tidle Wave on TikTok. Despite being creative and visually appealing, it didn’t achieve significant traction.
Day 4: Gamble Core Game
On the fourth day, I created a gamble core game, inspired by a popular video I love. This filter performed better than others but still fell short of going viral.
Day 5: Frame Perfect Timings
By the fifth day, I was running out of ideas. I posted a video showcasing frame perfect timings, but it lacked a clear direction and didn't perform well.
Day 6: Souls RNG with Emojis
For the sixth day, I introduced a Souls RNG filter on TikTok, incorporating emojis to make it more engaging. Similarly, this filter didn’t hit the mark.
Day 7: Dodge Rain Game
I rounded off the week by creating a game where users had to dodge the rain. Despite my continued effort and creativity, this didn’t result in virality either.
Results and Reflections
By the end of the week, I had amassed 605 followers. Although this increase was encouraging, it didn't confirm a viral success. Interestingly, the gamble core filter and the baby filter were the only ones that performed relatively well.
