This research method builds viral TikToks

Hey there,

Everyone thinks building apps is about coding or marketing.

But the skill that actually made me millions? Pattern recognition.

When I was building Puff Count, I didn't just guess what content would work.

I went on TikTok and typed "quit vaping." Sorted by most popular. Found a girl with 3.7 million views on a video about quitting vaping.

She is the reason I decoded the TikTok game. She wasn’t sharing boring features. She was sharing transformation stories.

So I recreated that concept. Tore apart a vape on camera, showing how nasty it was inside.

That video hit 2.6M views and drove 4,000 downloads overnight. 

Overall, I got over 20 million views on TikTok for Puff Count

Here's my exact research process:

Step 1: Search your niche's main keyword on TikTok 

Step 2: Sort by most popular content of all time

Step 3: Find the patterns in what's getting millions of views 

Step 4: Recreate the concept but make it better for your audience

While other founders were making app demo videos that got 200 views, I studied what worked and adapted those patterns for Puff Count.

The breakthrough wasn't coming up with original ideas. I recognized what was already working and moved fast to capitalize on it.

This systematic approach to studying viral content changed everything for me.

I use this same research method for every piece of content I create. It's how I consistently find what resonates before my competitors do.
