Your month your thing, AI TikTok format making millions of views

I recently stumbled upon a TikTok growth hack that is absolutely blowing up right now. It involves using AI-generated images in a simple slideshow format to rack up massive view counts.

In just the past 2 weeks, one account called @pepper_ai managed to rack up 21.5 million views using this strategy. And after digging deeper, I found dozens of other accounts employing the same tactic with great success.The Viral AI Image Slideshow Format

The core format that seems to be working so well is a 12-image slideshow, with each image representing a different month and describing something related to that month. The key is that the images are fully AI-generated, not manually created.

Some examples of the types of slideshows these accounts are posting:

– “Your birth month = your job”

– “Your month = your zombie safe zone” 

– “Your birth month = your tsunami”

The accounts I found that are using this format are seeing incredible results. The 6 videos from @pepper_ai that got between 1.1 million and 4 million views were all posted within a 3-day span. It’s clear they’ve struck a chord with their target audience.

Scaling the AI Image Growth Hack

But it doesn’t stop there. After further investigation, I discovered that this is a widespread trend happening right now, with more and more accounts jumping on board.

Here are just a few other examples I found:

– @cuteness.overload.ai – Cute fluffy animal AI images

– @quizzesreplayed – Car-themed AI image quizzes (33.5M views)

– @aixclips, @aimakesyousmile, @mrmagicmaster, and many more

It seems these accounts are using slightly different niches and variations on the core AI image slideshow format, but the underlying strategy is the same. They’re creating these accounts, growing them rapidly with viral content, and then leveraging them for affiliate marketing or other monetization schemes.

How You Can Use This Growth Hack

Now, I know the “quick money-making scheme” aspect of this isn’t the most ethical. But if you set that aside, there’s a really interesting marketing opportunity here that any brand or creator can capitalize on.

The reason this format works so well is that it taps into the same psychological triggers as classic “what your birth month says about you” articles and quizzes. It sparks identity, conversation, and engagement. Just think about how much people love defending their zodiac sign or birth month – this AI image slideshow format perfectly captures that same phenomenon.

So how can you apply this to grow your own brand or product? Here are a few ideas:

– For a dating app, you could do “Your birth month = Your love language”

– For a study app, it could be “Your birth month = Your studying style” 

– For a fitness brand, “Your birth month = Your workout routine”

The possibilities are endless. The key is finding a format that aligns with your product or brand, and then executing it in a way that’s engaging and shareable.

And don’t forget to include a clear call-to-action (CTA) somewhere in the slideshow, driving people back to your product or website. This will allow you to convert all that viral traffic into tangible business results.
