The 2-Day Account Warm-Up Strategy
Here's your first action steps:
- Create new Instagram/TikTok account(s)
- Spend 15 minutes/day scrolling your target audience's content
- Save videos you could remake to promote your app
- Like, comment, and follow relevant accounts
- Critical: Only engage with content relevant to YOUR app/business
Content Creation Strategy (Days 3-30)
Your daily action plan:
- Start with ONE post per day (quality over quantity)
- Base content on saved videos you've collected
- Include clear CTAs related to your app
- Focus on driving comments and watch time
- Use capcut on desktop for a simpel video editor (100% free)
- Keep videos short - algorithms love a high watch time % rate (above 120% = going viral)
Finding Your Winning Format
The path to consistent growth:
- Expect to make 100+ videos before finding your perfect format
- Each app has a unique "winning format" - keep testing
- Once you find what works, double down aggressively, create new accounts and repeat first steps (then you can post 2-3 on each account a day if you find a winner format)
- Aim for 100k+ views on at least one video within 60 days (60 videos made)
- Study successful apps in your space for inspiration
Scaling Your Success
Here's what most solo founders miss: you can 10x your results by working smarter, not harder. I'm now posting 6 videos daily across multiple platforms, taking just 1 hour of my time.
