TikTok Live Growth Hack To Get More Views

TikTok's changing. Most creators are seeing fewer views and even less engagement.

However, TikTok Live is working well right now. There's a trick with TikTok Live that can help you get seen by more people.

Why TikTok Live Works

TikTok has lots of news, trends, and ads for its shop. They're promoting USA businesses a lot. It might be to avoid getting banned in the USA. It would be harder to ban TikTok if many USA businesses depend on it.

That's why the demotion of creators and promotion of TikTok Shop.

But TikTok Live is different. When you go live, TikTok shows your videos to more people. It helps your live stream and your regular videos get more views.

One creator made over a million dollars in one live stream. That's big. It shows TikTok Live can be powerful.

It's not just about money. It's about getting seen by many people.

The "Blinking Light" Trick: Bring People from Videos to Your Live

Some creators are using a smart idea. They post a lot, like 10 to 30 times a day.

They make content that grabs attention.

1. "Don't Blink" Thing

A TikTok creator Ryan makes videos saying he doesn't blink.

A comment said, "i have 20 screenshots of you blinking."

He replied to that comment, "that's so cap because i don't blink, see look this is me not blinking right here... i have not blinked for 14 days... you can even check my live if you don't believe me."

This makes you want to check if it's true.

Remember, most people watching TikTok are teenagers who respond to dumb shit like this.

The reply trick is a widely used trick that gets more views. Tabs Chocolate repeatedly used it to make over $10m using the reply strategy.

2. "Tiya Dance" Thing

Another TikTok Creator Vivi does the Tyla dance for every 15,000 likes.

"For every 15,000 likes, i'm doing the tyla dance live."

This makes people like the video and join the live to see it.

They're also linking their live streams to things in their videos.

When you're live, a blinking light shows on your picture in your videos. People see it and know you're live.

If a creator posts a lot, they get more views. Even if the algorithm isn't great, they still get seen. Many people then go to their live.

If you post 20-30 times a day and get 300 views on average, that's 60k-90k viewers on your live. For bigger creators, it's significantly more.

These tricks don't last forever. But you can use them now if you're on TikTok.

They're good if you sell things on TikTok Shops or selling a B2C mobile app.

It's a lot of work, sometimes 4 hours a day. But you can make a ton of money.

Remember, big creators like Josh Richards grew by targeting whales on TikTok Lives.

Don't Post Too Much

Posting that much isn't for everyone. It can look like spam. It's not great if you're building a brand.

You can do this once a week. Just make one good video about your live.

For example, someone talking about TikTok growth might say, "Hey, if you see this blinking light, i'm live! i'm talking about TikTok growth and the algorithm. So, if you're interested, ask me a question, and i'll see you in my live."

This is better than posting too much. But there are many ways you can use these ideas. It's a hack that might not last, but it's working now.

Book recs that almost nobody will read. Maybe 0.001% people will and they will have the advantage.

When you have to get people to do what they want, you need to know all the psychological tactics.

Plus it helps with copy when you strike a core emotion.

Google doesn't know how to differentiate between AI and non-AI content.

I know SEO algorithms and I know programming plus system design. There is literally no way to figure out the answer to this other than some genius tooting his own horn.

The future playbook of AI x SEO:

1. Generate 100x AI posts using Lean SEO methodology.

2. Check which one of those 100 get traffic. Kill the ones that don't after a while.

3. Profit.

If Google could figure out the answer to AI, they wouldn't promote UGC sites in SERPs.

Only the obvious AI content gets caught. Learn to prompt and you can create your own humanizer.
