This app founder rode a TikTok trend to 17.2M views - and hit #2 on the App Store. App: BiteSight Platform: TikTok + IG + X Strategy: Trend remix + viral loop How it worked: → Quietly posted content & tested for months → One video with a raw hook: “My brother’s gonna show you the app that he built and y’all gonna like it.” → Same clip posted on TikTok & IG → 17.2M views + 520K IG → Borrowed format from a viral trend (tt@yearningyardies) → Meme pages & influencers reposted → looped buzz & downloads Outcome: #2 App Store rank, millions of impressions, viral loop across platforms.

Relax bruh. Success is guaranteed. Smile at the barista and tell her you like her bracelet. Buy your grandma some flowers. Give your little sister 100 bucks. Buy those shoes you like. Your win is imminent. Might as well act like it.

one of my favorite features on our nearly finished Discover page on bitesight is the ozempic meal you’ll be able to get ozempic delivered with your meal
one of my favorite features on our nearly finished new Place Profiles on superlocal is local rankings you’ll be able to see how popular a place is and then tap it to see the full local ranking list getting very close to shipping Places 2.0!

VC fake rejection reasons: •No moat •Too much competition •Come back after you get a lead •Valuation is too high •TAM is too small •Not enough traction •Your retention sucks •You’re too early Real reason: •I don’t believe you’ll win.

Go @LuciousIV and Zac! Love seeing these guys getting more and more attention but it isn't just because they make great videos. They also built a product that people love using, which is much harder to do! @TryBiteSight

We mentioned this exact format when it went viral recently for BiteSight 3 weeks ago. The SAME thing happened to Blapp with this format a few days back. socialgrowthengineers.com/17…

day 116 of building candle, the duolingo for relationships we gained another 21,000 users in the last 3 days from our recent video here’s exactly what we did: 1. start with the actual problem you have to understand what your users actually feel, even the small annoyances that come from the bigger issue. that’s generally what makes something “relatable.” so the first 5 seconds, I just said something casual like: “facetiming and texting just wasn’t cutting it anymore for us” added a text overlay as i said it, for people watching without sound. 2. film it like you’re sending a message to a friend no professional equipment, no lighting, no mic, just literally use your front camera + natural light also don’t overthink it 3. walk through 2 core features, the first feature needs to be your “aha” moment feature while i talked, a raw screen recording played over me showing the first feature in action. then i cut back to my face, explained point 2 and let that screen recording play too. 4. end on a soft cta remember to end casual, say something like: “it’s called Candle on the app store. it’s helped us ... maybe it helps you too. would love any feedback.” you don’t necessarily need to go mega viral, you need conversion, this video had a ~9% view to install conversion rate. lmk if you guys have any qs download the beta below and try it out with a friend or partner! as always, would love any feedback 👇
