Instead of guessing what short-form content will resonate, identify existing long-form videos or articles with the highest engagement. Transcribe these proven winners and use AI to extract impactful clips, carousels, and tweets. This method leverages past success to increase the probability of future performance.

To create high-performing videos, don't invent from scratch. Find viral content in your niche and replicate its structural elements—the on-screen headline and the first few seconds of the spoken hook. Then, deliver your own unique insights within that proven format.

Social media algorithms can be trained. By actively blocking or marking unwanted content as "not interested," users can transform their "for you" page from a source of distracting content into a valuable, curated feed of recommended information.

The most effective way to scale on TikTok is not by constantly generating new ideas, but by identifying your own top-performing videos and remaking them. Re-recording your "greatest hits" multiple times a month consistently drives views and growth for your account.

View counts can be misleading. Prioritize analyzing competitors' content with high shares and comments. These metrics reveal what truly provides value and sparks community conversation, offering a more reliable blueprint for your own content strategy.

A primary reason for low views is audience mismatch. The algorithm needs to categorize your content to find the right viewers. Posting consistently on a single topic provides the necessary data for the algorithm to learn and eventually serve your content to your ideal audience.

To generate superior content ideas from a visual AI like Poppy, provide three types of inputs: links to viral videos for inspiration, links to your own content to define your style, and a link to an expert's analysis to provide strategic guidance.

TikTok creators are visual learners who consume video content, not long documents. Instead of providing a detailed written brief, brands see better results by sending 3 examples of high-performing videos. This gives creators inspiration and direction without stifling their unique style.

Identify content formats or topics that consistently drive follower growth—your 'gold strikes'. Dedicate a portion of your output (e.g., one of three daily posts) to replicating these successes. Use the remaining capacity to experiment and discover the next high-performing format, creating a continuous growth loop.
