I Used Code to Go Viral on Social Media
Summary
TLDRIn this video, the creator sets out to code and share satisfying ball simulation videos on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, tracking the results over a week. After building the simulation, including adding gravity, sound, and visual effects, the creator posts 45 videos across the platforms. Despite initial challenges, including slow growth on TikTok, the maze videos perform exceptionally well, especially on Instagram, leading to a surprising follower increase. The video highlights the importance of effort and creativity in social media success, culminating in a remarkable gain of 2,734 Instagram followers.
Takeaways
- 🎮 The creator was inspired by satisfying ball simulation videos and decided to code their own version to see how many views and followers they could gain within a week.
- 🖥️ Using Visual Studio Code, the creator started by coding a simple simulation with a green circle that falls due to gravity, applying principles from physics.
- ⚙️ The creator faced challenges in making the ball follow realistic physics but eventually managed to implement gravity, reflection, and sound effects.
- 🎨 To make the videos more engaging, the creator added colorful backgrounds, sound effects, and various ball animations, such as shrinking or growing upon bouncing.
- 📱 The creator set up new TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube accounts, posting two videos daily, alternating between ball, maze, and sorting algorithm videos.
- 📈 On Day 3, the creator saw a big increase in views on Instagram, with one video reaching 22,000 views, while TikTok and YouTube had slower growth.
- 💥 The maze videos performed the best across all platforms, particularly on Instagram, where they garnered the most views and followers.
- 🕒 The creator spent significant time editing the videos, especially those using their real voice, which paid off with much higher view counts.
- 🔥 By the end of the week, the creator gained 2,734 Instagram followers, with the account continuing to grow rapidly.
- 👍 The main takeaway is that putting effort into content creation, particularly with high-quality editing, can significantly boost engagement and success on social media.
Q & A
What is the main goal of the video script described?
-The main goal is to create and post ball simulation videos on new Tik Tok, Instagram, and YouTube accounts to see how many views and followers can be gained within a week.
Which code editor does the script mention for creating the ball simulation videos?
-The script mentions using Visual Studio Code as the code editor.
What physics concept is applied to simulate gravity in the ball simulation?
-The concept of gravity is applied by giving the ball an initial velocity and increasing it slightly with each bounce, based on Isaac Newton's laws of motion.
How does the script address the issue of the small ball ignoring the laws of physics?
-The issue is addressed by calculating the normal reflection velocity and multiplying it with the ball's velocity to create a more realistic bounce.
What additions were made to the simulation to make it more visually appealing?
-Color and sound were added to the simulation, along with a background and a trace effect to show the ball's previous positions.
What challenges did the creator face when trying to implement sound in the simulation?
-The creator faced challenges with Pygame, which does not support exporting game sound to MP3, requiring them to implement sound handling from scratch.
What was the creator's strategy for video ideas to maximize viewer retention on social media?
-The strategy involved creating videos with elements that change or evolve, such as a shrinking circle or a growing ball, to keep the viewer engaged until the end.
How did the creator approach the editing of the videos to ensure they don't 'suck'?
-The creator spent 8 hours editing the videos, adding elements like the Tik Tok voice and ensuring the content was engaging and of high quality.
What was the overall performance of the videos on Tik Tok, Instagram, and YouTube after the challenge?
-The videos performed differently on each platform. Instagram had the most views and followers, with over 160,000 views and 2,734 followers. YouTube had a total of 26,990 views and 53 subscribers, while Tik Tok had the least engagement with only 16,200 views and six followers.
What unexpected result did the creator experience during the challenge?
-The creator experienced an unexpected surge in views and followers on Instagram after posting two videos that were edited with more effort and included the creator's real voice.
What advice does the creator give at the end of the video script?
-The creator advises that putting effort into your work pays off, as evidenced by the success of the more carefully edited videos.
