How 3 Businesses
Used AI Slides
to Go Viral on TikTok
Proven strategies that work in 2025
What if I told you that a 22-year-old with zero followers built a massive waitlist before he even had a product? Or that simple slide formats are consistently generating hundreds of thousands of views for business owners across different niches? Here's how they did it – and how you can replicate their exact strategies in under 30 minutes.
Case Study #1
Tim's Self-Improvement Empire
Results: 16 million views in 30 days
Tim started with nothing but an idea for a self-improvement app targeting young men. Instead of building the app first, he tested demand on TikTok using motivational slide content.
His Formula:
- • Vivid, cartoon-style slides showing dramatic before/after transformations
- • Simple hook: "This is what happens when you..."
- • Each video: 500K to 4M views consistently
The genius move? He didn't even have an app when he went viral. Once videos started hitting, he added a waitlist link to his bio and began collecting emails from his target audience.
How You Can Replicate This:
Use the "Clean Contrast" style – vivid colors, cartoon aesthetics, and before/after concepts that work for ANY business transformation. Whether you're selling fitness programs, business courses, or productivity tools, this format converts because every business sells transformation.
#2: The Budget Planner Success Story
Results: 30.2K followers, 600.2K likes
She sells budget spreadsheet templates using a simple but effective slide strategy.
Her Strategy:
- • Hook: Mirror selfie (face hidden) with compelling caption
- • Follow-up slides: Screenshots of her budget template in action
- • Average views: 10K-50K per video
- • Conversion: Direct link to product in bio
The key insight? Personal hooks (even without showing face) dramatically outperform generic content on TikTok.
How You Can Replicate This:
We've built specific modes for this strategy: Educational Girl mode for study/note-taking scenes, Travel Girl mode for lifestyle/generic content, and Study Girl mode for educational content. Generate these hook photos for your slideshow, then follow with your product demo slides.
Case Study #3
The Book Recommendation Account
Results: 22.3K followers, 1.3M likes
This account promotes a reading app through book recommendation content.
Their Strategy:
- • Hook: Generated images of girls with books/study materials
- • Content: Book recommendation lists and reading tips
- • Bio: Direct link to their reading app
The pattern? Lists perform exceptionally well on TikTok, and the personal hook (girl with books) creates immediate engagement.
How You Can Replicate This:
Use our Educational or Study Girl modes to create authentic-looking study/learning hooks, then follow with your own list-style content promoting your product or service.
The Universal Formula That Works
Personal Hook (real person or AI-generated)
Start with an engaging visual that feels personal and authentic. This could be a real photo (face hidden) or AI-generated image that matches your content theme. The hook should immediately grab attention and make viewers want to see more.
Value-First Content (transformation, education, or lists)
Deliver genuine value before any promotion. Show transformations, share educational insights, or provide useful lists. This builds trust and keeps viewers engaged through the entire video.
Soft Promotion (link in bio, not pushy sales)
Avoid hard selling in your content. Instead, use your bio link for conversions. This approach feels more authentic and doesn't interrupt the value you're providing. Let your content speak for itself.
Why This Works (And Why Now Is The Time)
TikTok's algorithm rewards consistent, high-quality visual content. These slide formats:
- • Are faster to produce than video content
- • Maintain consistent quality and branding
- • Can be batch-created for weeks of content
- • Work across all business niches
The opportunity window is closing. As more businesses discover these strategies, competition increases. The accounts above succeeded because they moved fast with a proven format.

Will you act while the opportunity is still wide open?
