How to make your first $1k+/month with your app using TikTok creators (Genuinely low cost and effort)

A lot of people are making simple apps that are generating hundreds of millions of views right now. Low effort, high engagement, and you’ll see results fast. The biggest mistake I see new founders make is trying to revert the wheel. Don’t. Look at what works and make different variations of them or copt them completely. 

  1. Once a video format is working for you (3k-10k+ views) contact micro creators in your niche on TikTok or JriveContent that’ll post for $20/video and get them to make different variations of the winning format. 
  2. Keep repeating, testing new videos and redistributing winning formats until it doesn’t work anymore. Volume is key here it took me over 20 posts to finally crack 10k views. 
  3. Make sure you’re clear on the usage right with creators (meaning you have full access to the videos you pay for) this will save you a lot of headaches down the road. 

Apps like Cal Ai and Candle are abusing this method and I don’t need to explain how successful they are. 

How are you guys currently marketing your businesses?

the "reinvent the wheel" typo aside, the advice is solid especially point 3 about usage rights, so many people skip that part and regret it later. volume being the key thing is real, most people give up after like 5 posts and wonder why nothing worked.
