My friends made this short film and they're trying to make it go viral by posting it on their TikToks. I helped out with the casting, gave feedback on the script and helped out on set a couple days. I also offered to help with the promo. It's a really good short and inspired by true events. They'll be dropping additional parts this week. Do y'all have any tips for going viral on Tiktok? I figure this could also be a resourceful thread for all of us who might have future projects and ventures.

Be controversial.

Praise Trump
Complain about women
Be xenophobic
Get ppl to hate watch you for views
Hop on any of the on going trends
Post on multi-platforms

You can do all of the above. They're Black so post it on Trump circles, while praising him. Post in on lefty circles, while praising Trump. Etc....be annoying

Narrow down your niche, What is it your channel about? Lifestyle? Music? Fitness? Travel? Memes? Finance?
Narrow it down then narrow it down some more. What space are you trying to occupy with said niche
Figure out a hook to grab ppl in
Also figure out an aesthetic or look that matches what you're trying to present


EDIT: you do short films. I think lowkey youtube might be a better platform but you need to experiment a little and do a better presentation

Coli simps are going to take this the wrong way but if you really want to establish a social media following then secure a fanbase of black women. Comment on pages directed towards black women, tag accounts that black women follow, and pander to black women.

This highly depends on your niche, this isn't going to work across all fields

I would tell them to have people start a trend where they do something silly/stupid over the video.

The movie is called “Indiscriminate” which means done at random so having people shoot random scenes with the movie as a backdrop might gain some traction :manny:
