Introduction
Sabrina Ramonov introduces herself, highlighting her background in selling an AI company and her current focus on providing free AI education. She shares her rapid growth on TikTok, reaching 54 million views and 275,000 followers in a short period. She emphasizes that this growth was achieved without significant investment in resources like VAs, courses, or fancy equipment. Sabrina promises to share her strategies to help viewers fast-track their growth from zero to 100,000 followers in 90 days.
Choose a Single Niche
Sabrina stresses the importance of selecting a single niche when starting content creation. She recounts her initial mistake of creating content across multiple niches like outdoor life, book clubs, women entrepreneurs, and AI. Her breakthrough came only after she committed to focusing solely on one niche. She advises beginners to choose a niche and fully commit to it for effective growth.
Create a New TikTok Account
Sabrina recommends creating a new TikTok account to learn from top creators in your chosen niche. While an older, personal account can be used for posting, a secondary account should be created to curate a "For You" page filled with content from your niche. This allows you to easily find fresh, viral content and stay updated on trends within your specific area of interest.
Copy Viral Hooks
After setting up the new account and following relevant creators, Sabrina advises spending 30 minutes scrolling through the "For You" page. The goal is to identify videos that grab your attention and make note of their hooks, which are the first 5-10 seconds of the video. She emphasizes that the hook is the most important part of any content, as it determines whether viewers will stick around. To supplement this, she offers a curated list of 1,000 viral short-form video hooks via her newsletter.
Get Your First 100 Videos Out of the Way ASAP
Sabrina highlights the critical step of creating and publishing the first 100 videos as quickly as possible without relying on automation. She notes that many content creators fail because they give up too early, often due to self-doubt and fear of embarrassment. She advises to overcome this mental barrier by rapidly producing content to learn about personal voice, brand, target audience, and preferred filming style. For the video content, she suggests copying proven templates within your niche, drawing inspiration from other creators' successful formats.
Unlock Your Videos Going From 200 to Consistently 1, 5,000
Sabrina explains that using specific keywords is essential to inform TikTok about the content of your videos. When watching your video on Tik Tok, the search bar at the top should be populated with your video's main keywords instead of saying "find related content". She advises including the keyword in the title, description, and hashtags, as well as verbally mentioning it multiple times within the video. This helps TikTok identify the target audience and significantly increases views.
Cadence/Schedule
For those serious about growing on TikTok, Sabrina recommends posting at least three times per day, spaced one to two hours apart, with videos less than 30 seconds long. She advises keeping videos short initially to avoid burnout. She also emphasizes that fancy equipment or editing is unnecessary, and she personally uses her iPhone's front camera and the TikTok mobile app for editing.
Advanced Tips
Sabrina shares her two main regrets as a creator: not starting earlier and not repurposing content sooner. She advises starting now and immediately repurposing TikTok content to other platforms like Instagram. She also recommends offering an irresistible lead magnet in your bio to drive followers to your email list, which she considers the most valuable channel.
Troubleshooting
Sabrina addresses common issues, such as the misconception of being "shadow banned." She clarifies that consistently low views (below 50) may indicate a problem with the account, especially for new accounts. Views around 200 suggest that TikTok doesn't understand the video's topic, which can be fixed by using explicit keywords. She also provides a solution for single videos stuck at low views: changing the privacy setting to private and then back to public.
Creator Search Insights
Sabrina introduces TikTok's Creator Search Insights, a tool that reveals what people are searching for and identifies content gaps. This tool helps creators understand what content is in demand and create videos on those topics. She demonstrates how to access and use Creator Search Insights to find trending topics and content gaps, emphasizing the importance of using specific keywords in videos to improve search visibility.
AI Prompt
Sabrina provides an AI prompt that writes TikTok video scripts from source material. She explains how to use this prompt with tools like Blow and Perplexity to find trending AI news and generate video scripts. She also demonstrates how to use TikTok's teleprompter effect to read the script while filming, making content creation more efficient.
