how i find the exact slideshow formats that print money

i ran a test to find out the exact numbers of a random guy running a tiktok slideshow account, posting one specific format over and over, selling an ebook.

the whole thing ran on people visiting his profile. barely any of his posts even had a CTA. nothing was optimized, nothing was perfect, all amateur, no strategy behind it (i'll show you all of it below).

the only interesting thing? he had constant bangers.

> and honestly, the results surprised me

enough yapping. here's all the data.

how i got the numbers?

getting a stranger to hand over their real revenue isn't something people just do

so i had to play it dirty

i spammed this in his comments until he replied

then i moved to his dms and offered to buy his account

he opened up and i moved him to discord, asked for his numbers and he sent me everything

the format he was running

before the numbers, look at what this guy was actually posting

one format → hight protein meals

the same format over and over, and he was getting constant bangers

most of his posts had no CTA at all. here's one of the few where he actually tried to sell

that's the whole operation

now

the numbers

he did 1.7 million views in the last 30 days

and off all those views, with that amateur way of selling, no CTA, nothing optimized, and a shopify store completely destroyed at a UX/UI level

these are his conversions over the last 30 days:

and these are his lifetime numbers since he started in february:

if this guy just opened 5 more accounts on the same device and posted the same format across all 5, he'd already be doing +$1,500 a month from this sweet little side hustle

here's the sauce

the game is way simpler than you think. i'm not saying easy. i'm saying simple

most of you overcomplicate it trying to be original. and originality is a trap at the start. something original and proven doesn't just appear in your head, it comes after you've tested a bunch, studied the winning formats, lived in your niche daily, failed a few times. once you've failed enough, the only thing left is to win, because you've cut everything that doesn't work. originality comes from mixing what already works.

all i did to hit $20k a month was find a format that worked over and over on a for-fun account , take it to the limit across multiple accounts, and optimize everything , from the CTA in the slide to the product itself

> so the download → pay was as high as possible

which leaves you one job before anything else: finding the format

there are two ways to find that format

> the second way is the cheat code

the first is the manual way, and it comes down to one rule: don't guess. don't sit there trying to invent a viral idea from scratch. tiktok already tells you what your niche wants to watch, you just have to go read it.

here's the exact process:

search your niche terms on tiktok. building a looksmaxxing app? search things like

• "how to glow up",
• "looksmaxxing tips"
• "how to look more attractive"
• "how to get a better jawline"
• "glow up transformation"

look for the signals. you're hunting for a slideshow with all four of these at once

• high views
• strong engagement
• an active comment section
• a recent post date

check the account, not just the post.

this is the one mistake that will save you weeks if you avoid it: never clone a post from a profile that only has one viral hit.

that was luck, not a format.

the account needs several consistent bangers, a repeatable pattern, if you actually want it to work. don't build off the single top post that came up in your search

go profile by profile and save every account that passes all of the above.

this is the second way, and it's the cheat code

it's the scroll.show MCP, and it hands claude, codex, or cursor tiktok's DNA. instead of scrolling for hours, you just tell it "find me 10 winning accounts in the looksmaxxing niche", and it goes out, verifies each one on real numbers, and drops them for you

here you have an example

Media:

• video:

and once you find the winning format, you can tell claude to download the top slideshows from that account, the most viral, most engaged, most liked within a set window like the last 30 days. that way claude learns exactly what's working, and it can help you write your own copy off proven patterns

what used to take me a week now takes minutes. every gem account i post on my profile, i find with it.

this is how i scaled my app to $20k mrr just with slideshows
