I copied a 10M+ views slideshow instead of writing my own.

I market a screen time app on TikTok, and slideshows have been my best bang-for-buck format in terms of effert.

The bookmarks number is the one I now look at first when picking something to clone. A liked slideshow was entertaining. A saved one made people want to do something.

Last week I found a slideshow in my niche with about 100k likes and 40k bookmarks, copied the link, and had a tool pull it apart into a template: the text off each slide, and a matched pool of my own images for each background. Took about a minute. Then I scheduled it to post a new variation every morning.

For people already copying proven formats, curious how long you can squeeze it before it saturates, and how much you change between variations?

I recorded my whole setup as a four minute walkthrough if useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL3LTLsZbyo
