This is not a usual journey of someone making $X from Y method, but rather creating a tool instead.

Main goal: make a TikTok bot that fully automates account growth. I will create a piece of software that finds popular videos on YouTube and uploads it to TikTok automatically, 3 times a day.

Current progress: Automated video downloading & Proxy integration

Things to figure out: What type of captions should it post?

Will automating a tiktok account produce the same results in terms of growth as other social media platforms? Doesn't it depends more on original content? What are your thoughts?

you can repost content just like on IG.
 
UPDATE: successfully created a bot that takes a Youtube video and uploads it to TikTok without any user interaction. Working on finding random content now. Will post a video of bot in action later.

Can't wait to see this sounds interesting
 
I am honestly surprised how easy it was, TikTok made no effort to prevent botting, even made it easier with a great web interface. Terminal might be a bit out of synch, because it was recorded separately.

Next step: Automating to upload random videos 3 times per day at random times.

I haven't looked at TikTok myself yet but on a technical level most sites don't bother trying to prevent bots on the front end they just ban or shadowban accounts they detect doing it. Safe money says stock browser emulation would automate TikTok just fine. The question is whether or not they'll let it grow an account.

Curious to see.

You are using Puppeteer :D cool I was thinking of making the same for TikTok but I don't have time now, maybe later :)
Maybe I will make a bot one day and post it on Giveaway section for free :D

Yeah I went the easy way when someone told me TikTok has online upload page. Thinking the same about the giveaway, but current code is just a mess lol.

Tested it before, as long as proxy is good TikTok doesn't care.

I set it to run 3 times a day now, will see the growth.

I think you can also follow unfollow like and comment online right? I didn't try but you can make a full bot like jarvee for TikTok if those features are available on the web version.

Problem is these things do absolutely nothing in regards to account growth, that's the main difference from ig

Incorrect Follow/Unfollow works great on TikTok at an average of about 30% follow back ratio. The algorithm might not care about you as much anymore but it does not matter as your videos are still getting views from your followers.

So in a way its very similar to Instagram except that TikTok has the algorithm that may help you go viral sometimes, but again you do not need to go viral to make the account a success because you have followers and still gain likes from those followers and video views.
 
Here's hoping you create a viable product to sell to the rest of us. I haven't been impressed with the current bots on the market. Even with what you have now, all it would take is a simple GUI for most people, and a queue for users to line up videos for the bot to post on a schedule. If you are actually managing to fully automate quality content discovery, as well as reposting, don't share it with anyone. Keep it for yourself, scale it like mad, and roll in the dough.

You might be somewhat right, but I have thousands of followers on my main account and they can’t see my new videos unless they get over 100 views from random viewers. If not, I assume it’s marked as low quality content internally and isn’t recommended to anyone. So while follow/unfollow might matter, clearly not as much as content.

I thought about making bots for sale, but I feel like it would have to be better quality software to share with public. Currently I’m testing it myself and will see how account growth occurs.
