TikTok slideshows get 81% more engagement than video. That's from a study of 698,000 posts, not a guru take.
And they take maybe 5% of the work.
I spent weeks building a system that ships them daily without me filming anything. Sharing the whole thing 🧵
ALT Riso-print cover: "Wake up to TikToks you didn't make" with three dark slideshow cards and a "No camera needed" stamp.
Claude can do what now ? Built this in 30min, allows me to have a dashboard of all the current steps running on all projects + the decisions point I have to act on I can decide right on this pane and Claude picks it up + the backlog of this I have to do myself. Incredible.
Claude Opus 5.5 from @AnthropicAI is absolutely crazy for motion design and promo videos.
One shotted this (and 5 other videos) while I was sleeping for Ninefall my iOS puzzle game.

I made a puzzle game.
Play a number and it flips.
Every lower tile next to it flips too, then every tile lower than those. The chain runs downhill until it runs out.
Flip all 30 to win.
Out Thursday. $3.99 to pre-order until then.

you warmed up for 3 days and still got 0 views. that actually tells me exactly what went wrong
i wrote a full article on this but i'll break it down here because almost everyone makes the same mistakes even when they "warm up"
here's exactly what tiktok is measuring in your first 72 hours and how to pass every check:
tiktok doesn't trust new accounts. they've been burned by bots too many times, so they run every new account through a trust scoring system
most people fail it without ever knowing it exists
here's what triggers a failed trust score:
- posting within 24 hours of creating the account
- adding a link to your bio on day 1
- following/unfollowing in rapid bursts
- only engaging with one narrow category
- posting multiple times before you've gotten any engagement
- using images that match their duplicate database
and the big one for you specifically: if your first post was promoting your skincare app, that's almost certainly the trigger. a brand new account that opens with anything that looks like an ad gets throttled instantly
here's the warmup protocol that actually clears the trust score:
DAY 1
- scroll the fyp 30+ min
- like 15-20 videos in your niche
- leave 5-7 real comments (not "nice" or emojis)
- follow 8-10 accounts that post what you post
- do NOT post. do NOT add a link
DAY 2
- same engagement
- search your niche keywords and watch 10+ videos to completion
- let the algorithm learn what you're about
- still no posting, still no links
DAY 3
- post ONE warmup post. not promotional. pure value in your niche
- trending sound from the last 7 days
- images must be unique — never reuse the same image across accounts, tiktok hashes them and flags duplicates
- then wait 24 hrs
if that post clears 1k+ views, you're cleared. trust score passed. now you can post promo
if it's under 200, the account is cooked. it got flagged. start fresh and don't skip a step
the whole thing takes 3 days. most people won't do it because they're impatient
that's the exact reason their accounts get throttled to 200 views forever
the warmup isn't optional. it's the foundation everything else sits on
skip it and nothing else in your strategy matters
0 views on tiktok AGAIN
i created a new tiktok account and warmed it up for 3 days
that means liking, saving, following and commenting
and still got 0 views on my first video damnnnn
anyone else had this problem? what did you do?
i really needed to start marketing for my USkin skincare app 🥲🥲
will keep you updated
Probably the best Slidehook feature : paste a winning tiktok from another account, it generates a story arc, visual style and hook you can just copy. Briefly describe what your tiktok slideshow should talk about, and then generate it. Easy as this.
If it works ? You can generate 3 variants on the same style with a single click, while monitoring the result directly in Slidehook.
Even with a fresh account. Even on a very small niche. No effort needed and it just compounds to your funnel entry. Every profile view leads to a potential sale, and you don’t even have to produce anything. Set your brand. Define a cadency. And let it run on Slidehook
Just added this feature : you can now follow the tiktok accounts that offer viral success, and clip their formats to apply it to your own studio. And if miss of inspiration, you got our starter packs, pre-configured viral formats to use. #saas #buildinpublic #tiktokmarketing
New on Slidehook.app : you can now plan precisely when your tiktok posts will go live, and have them automatically generated when you don’t have some in stock.
You can now define in slidehook.app the target audience of your tiktok slideshows, but also the tone & voice of your brand, to keep it consistent.
We've also added the capacity to force a language to your content, so you can cater to specific markets or niches if needed
Launching on ProductHunt today. Upvotes appreciated, let me know if you like it !

Slidehook now shows you your real Tiktok posts winners, so you can capitalize on these, and double down with a single click to get variants and push further. #tiktokmarketing #saas #GrowthMindset
New huge feature just deployed on slidehook.app. It now analyses which posts actually won (views and saves, not just clicks), shows you why, and writes the next batch to match. Train your model with your winners, and keep the final cut.
What are everyone's best tips to warm up a tiktok account ? Hard to find a definitive answer, but for me :
- No links in the first week, of any sort. No post on 1st day.
- 2 or 3 posts per day, videos
- good VPN right away, first launch
- Not a pro email, Gmail is good
Yours ?

it shows your best post and why it won.
then one tap: make more like this. it writes fresh drafts off the proven hook, and that winner feeds every future batch on autopilot.
writing posts was always the easy part. knowing which ones to double down on is the whole game.
Slidehook now does both, while you sleep.
