Wherever you're at with TikTok right now — still figuring out the tools, or already seeing your faceless videos rack up views — you're building something real. Every script you write, every voiceover you generate, every video you post (even the ones that barely get views) is teaching you what works and pushing your skills forward. Don't let a slow week or a low-performing video convince you this isn't for you. The algorithm rewards people who keep showing up, and most creators quit right before their first video takes off. Keep testing hooks, keep posting daily, and keep trusting the process. 🎬 Be patient with your growth. 📈 Keep testing what works. 🔥 Believe your viral moment is closer than you think. Wishing this whole class a Tuesday full of fresh ideas, good momentum, and maybe that one video that finally pops off. You've got this! 💪

Quick Tip 2 is live in the Classroom! 🎬 This one is a game changer for your workflow. I show you how to set up and use the Google Flow AI Agent to run a whole batch of video clips with just a few simple instructions. Instead of generating clips one at a time you can set it up, give it your directions, and let it run while you do something else. This is exactly how I speed up my production process and it's so much easier than it looks. Head to the Classroom → Quick Tips to watch it now and drop your questions in the comments!

Quick thing I wanted to share with you guys. We can take inspiration from real life face forward TikTok videos to add that critical visual hook element that grabs attention fast. This is one I recently used in my own shop, so I figured I'd break it down for you. The whole idea is to NOT look like a dead giveaway that it's AI. So this is one of those hooks you've seen a million times and it just works. Somebody sitting in their car like they just got back from running errands, and they start talking about some product they found. Feels less like an ad and more like your friend who can't drive away until she tells you about this one thing. Mine actually opens with her walking up, opening the car door, and getting in. That little bit of movement at the start does a lot of work. It looks like real footage, it gives her something natural to do while she starts talking, and it pulls people in before they even realize they're watching an ad. The reason it works is the car. It's small and private so it feels like she's talking just to you, and that "I just got back" energy makes it feel real and kind of urgent without trying to sell you anything. Now the energy can go a bunch of different directions. Mine leans dry and deadpan. She's not hyped up, she's almost annoyed about how much she likes the thing, like "I did not want to keep this. And yet." That contrast is what makes it funny and makes people stick around. For the actual build, I drop my avatar getting into the front seat with soft daylight coming through the windows, product in hand or about to show it. The camera is the big thing here. I keep it totally locked like a phone propped against the steering wheel, so in my prompt I always write camera stays in one fixed position, only the woman moves. No zoom, no drift, none of that. Then I write the voiceover like she's talking to one person, nothing fancy, and run it through ElevenLabs. Quick cut into the product so nobody scrolls off, and that's basically it. I'll drop my actual prompt down in the comments so you can swap your own product into the structure 👇

Picture this TikTok video: Someone holds up a flame gun torch — you know, one of those butane torches marketed as a grill accessory. They smile at the camera and say something like, "I just found the most awesome Father's Day gift and I had to share it with you guys." Then they show the product, demo it briefly on the grill, , drop a link, and done. Sound familiar? That's how most of these videos look. And they perform… fine. Average. Forgettable. Here's the thing — the product is actually wild. Fire. On demand. That thing can torch a crème brûlée, crisp up rotisserie chicken skin, melt cheese on a burger, or roast a marshmallow on your kitchen counter. It's genuinely fascinating. But the video doesn't make you feel that. So let's talk about two paths: --- 🐑 PATH 1 — BE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE Open with a talking head or a static product shot. Start with "I just found…" or "This is the perfect Father's Day gift." Narrate your own experience and excitement. Show some grilling footage. End with a CTA. Nothing wrong with it. But nothing stops the scroll either. The viewer hasn't been given a reason to care before they swipe away. --- ⚡ PATH 2 — TWO SIMPLE TWEAKS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING Tweak #1: Lead with the fire, not your face. Don't open with a talking head. Don't open with the box. Open with the flame doing something unexpected — torching a marshmallow indoors, brûléeing a grapefruit, crisping up chicken skin. Something the viewer didn't expect. Fire doing something surprising stops the scroll before anyone reads a single word. You have about 3 seconds. Make them visually count. Tweak #2: Flip your text hook toward the viewer. Instead of layering text that narrates your curiosity ("I found this and couldn't believe what it does"), flip it outward and make it about THEM. Use the word "you," keep it under 5 words, and spark their curiosity instead of describing yours. Examples: → "you've been using it wrong" → "you only grill with this?" → "bet you didn't know this"

What are you working on today? Or what's something new you learned about AI this week? I don't care if it feels small. I don't care if you're still figuring it out. That's literally the point of being here. We're all building in real time — and the people who win are the ones who stay in motion, not the ones who wait until everything is perfect. So tell me your win. Even if you feel like a newbie — especially if you feel like a newbie. Let's hear it. 🔥 Drop your win. I'll go first. 👇
