0 → 100,000 Followers on Chinese Tik Tok In 72 Hours 💌 How to get famous on Tiktok

China has over 1 billion people. 400 million of which are active users on Chinese TikTok. Today, my friends and I are gonna be famous there. We're gonna make a TikTok. So what should our goal be? Well, the average TikTok user has about 150 followers. So we're gonna go for 100,000 followers, guys, in just 3 days, on TikTok China. Do you think we can do it? It's so easy, dude. So obvious, man, of course we can. 

Dude Sheldon, I do this right now to take a photo, and there's 10,000. Exactly. Alright, but we're dead serious about this challenge, and to make things even more realistic, we're gonna add one rule. Alright, so there's only one rule here, guys, and that is no using any of our social media, no Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, anything. Dude, it's gonna be easy anyway, it doesn't matter. Exactly, it's TikTok. And I guess rule no. 2 is... No going outside, cause of quarantine. 

Yo guys, okay so... We got the account. We need a Chinese name. Like we can't be going around in China with "CantoMando", cause... So we're actually going through this? Are you dumb? Like, dude! What do you think we've been doing the whole time? I thought it was so easy! My suggestion is this: Mandarin Cantonese. Wait. Cantonese Mandarin. Cantonese Mandarin, yeah. No, Canto Mandarin. I'm thinking something that sounds like CantoMando. Okay, in that case, it'll be... Kan duo man duo. So you get full. Full of what, knowledge? Kan duo, like... Full of laughter. Full of happiness, yeah! Kan duo man duo kuai le (the more you watch the happier you get)! Not bad! Not bad at all! No, but you... You're not even Chinese, so you don't know how that's gonna come upon... 

What do you mean he's not Chinese? He's clearly Chinese, dude, look at his face! He's not like familiar with the slang and... So after like 20 minutes of arguing or so, we really couldn't think of anything. So we hit up Edward's friend, Yang. Who according to him, was a Chinese social media expert. Hi, Yang. Hi. Hi... Hi, why are you calling me? We're trying to get famous on TikTok, Chinese TikTok, Douyin. So we needed like a Chinese name, and we wanted to ask if you have any like... Maybe you can help us think of a good Chinese name for us? So we talked for about 20 minutes or so, and she had a lot of different suggestions. But in the end, we went with this one. How about... 男孩不靠普？

Unreliable boys (pun of "boys who don't rely on Mandarin")? Wait, what does that mean? What is bu kao pu? So which means you guys are unreliable guys. Kao pu, it's like a pun. It's a play on words. It's like we know Mandarin, but we don't know Mandarin at the same time. Right? Yep. That's pretty good. That's kinda funny. Wait, so you think that these play-on-words funny names are more successful in China? Yeah, like people love this funny and deep meaning, and people want to think about it, and "Ahh! I get it," Do you like it? Yeah, we really like it. When we get famous, we'll give you all the credit. Thank you, Yang. That's everything, thanks so much. Thank you, bye. Bye. And there it is, boys! I don't get it. But it sounds good, okay? If Chinese people say it's a good one, then it must be good. I don't get it, but she's the expert... Yeah, she's the expert. So let's do it. Alright, now that we had a name, we're one step closer. But we still couldn't film any TikToks yet. 

The next step was research. We need to figure out what kind of TikToks we're gonna make. Alright, so we're doing TikTok...brainstorming. So the magic formula is going from... a non-aesthetic guy to a very cool guy figure. Dude, it's all about being hot on this app, apparently. It's all about being handsome, right? Yeah, it's all about being handsome. Alright, so Mike, that means... I don't know if we can do it. I don't know if you can do it, dude. Bruh. Edward, how's your market research? Yo, I'm telling you... The key is to be like Bart Baker, man. Look at this. "Just climb!" Chinese people love it when you sing Chinese songs. So what I think is that, you do something revolutionary... Yeah. Right? We sing English songs, but we translate it on the spot to Chinese. No man, that's not the key, dude. No, trust me, that is the key, dude. Edward, like you said, the easiest way to success is copying success. 

Why would you create your own thing? Dude, the easiest way to success is to do something revolutionary. That's how great people are made! And that's how we're gonna become famous on Chinese TikTok, Douyin. Yo, just watch. Alright guys, the big day today. 100,000 in 3 days starting today. Alright, we got a lot of stake here, man. Alright, what ideas have you got in mind? So, Edward, what's your idea? My idea? Yeah, your idea. My idea is you sing English songs and translate it on the spot to Chinese. Okay, my idea which is... obviously the better idea, is to do these transformations. Oh, so from ugly to beautiful. Yeah. So you're talking about like... 0 originality, copy what someone else does kinda thing. Wait, you're talking about making up your own songs? Or using other songs? I wanna do dance. Oh dude, man. 

Dance, dance! Sheldon, but you can't even dance! No no, trust me, that's why it's funny. Right, who goes first then? We're trying to decide who goes first. Just gonna put all 3 of our names. Who is gonna be the teacher today? 3, 2, 1. Edward's first. The best idea goes first. Alright. Let me ask you this. How much do you think it's gonna grow? What's your estimated guess? Hold on a second. Wait, let me ask you. From 0 to what? 100k. Just by your idea? Yeah. Mike, come on, Mike. Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm 3 years old? Am I stupid? Yeah, we are, dude. It's a great idea. You teach me, then. Alright, you teach us. Let's erase this mess. I'm done with this. Wait no, Mike... You can't erase our goal! Edward... Wait no, for you, this should be your goal instead.

This is how many we're gonna change our goal to. To 1. Just watch, man. Just watch. So I'm warning you guys right now, these are really cringy. I'm nervous. I'm gonna move my thumb, and that's when you start, okay? 好聽Good song. 但是中國But China, 這首好吃的歌，唱給你們的this yummy song is for you guys. 對你有的好吃...Yeah you got that yummy... 對你有的好吃...Yeah you got that yummy... 握住晚上...babe...Something night...babe... I think I messed up. I'm not using that one. This is hard, dude. I want to return to my womb. 好聽Good song. 但是中國But China, 這首好吃的歌，唱給你們的this yummy song is for you guys. This is our key to get famous in China. That was the first one. 

So we're gonna make a couple more now, and then we're gonna wait till tonight, and we're gonna post them all. And then we'll see how these do, okay? How about this? 這個視頻很好吃This video is yummy. 我覺得很 yummyI think it's yummy. And then write, "how about you?" Yeah, "how about you?" Comma, "how about you?" Post! 100k! Yes. We got first like! First like, baby! First like, baby! We'll hit 100k, man. Alright, just give you guys some context, we have a 416-follower base. And that's cause we made this account a long time ago, but we changed the name to Chinese today. Originally it was just called CantoMando. And people just followed us, we never really post anything. These videos here, they're all private, it's from old videos that we used. So we're gonna consider 416 zero for this challenge. So basically starting from 0. Alright, I just woke up, and I'm so frustrated. Literally checked the freaking TikTok... Just open it. 

Open it for yourself to see, okay? Just open it. What? 5– Didn't we start at 416? Yeah. We gained 5 new followers, guys. We gained... 5. We didn't get 1 new...view. Wait, these are 0 views? Mine got 0 views. It's an algorithm problem. There's no way! Mine has 0 views. Why do I have 0 views? 0! I'm gonna play a compilation of our TikToks right now, for you guys, and you tell us how... They're good! I used to be so beautiful, now look at me. Look what happened to me now. 我花了十萬個小時I'd spend 10,000 hours 十萬更多and 10,000 more 跟月亮說話Talking to the moon Are you crying, bro? Are you crying? You're actually crying right now. Sheldon, it's gonna make us look like losers. You know we said it's very easy, right? Don't worry, dude. 

We still have Sheldon's idea and my idea to save us. 我還以為我的主意很棒 It's okay, man. Edward, man. Sheldon, why is that the second you post one, the rest of them get no views? It doesn't make any sense. Are you a curse? We might have to cut you, man. We might have to cut you from the road to 100k. Alright, no no guys, trust me. Here's what we're gonna do, okay? So since you got 0 views, it's your idea today. You're gonna save us. Alright, so today, we're gonna do my dancing idea. Dude, the problem is you can't dance. None of us can dance. Fine fine, what we're gonna do is we're gonna play previous dances, and we're gonna react to it, and do the same dance. We're gonna react to it? Yeah, you can do– there's a react function on TikTok. Wait, I don't think that's a very smart idea. Then people could see how shitty our dances are. Yeah, exactly. Why don't we just try to do the best job that we can and do good dances? Mike, we're not gonna look good no matter how we do! No, trust me, trust me, man. I'm gonna– Sheldon, it's just because you don't look good. Yeah, just because you don't look good dancing doesn't mean that we don't look good. We'll try both. Alright, ready? 3, 2, 1, 100k followers in 3 days! Wait, what did you say? I said 100k. Okay, good, good. That's what I want to hear. 

This is the exit, right? Yeah, let's go. Sheldon, do you want to film yourself? Cause I don't know if we can contribute, man. Okay, ready? This cringe is contagious. 3, 2, 1, go. And so for the next couple of hours, we worked pretty hard. Learning these dances wasn't that easy. Oh yeah, sexyyyy. Look at him. Alright, so it's now 10pm in Canada, which means it's 10am in China. Which means it's time to go to day 2 first TikTok post. I feel kinda depressed about this. Why? We got 0 views from our videos last night! Edward. No, we got more! No...we got views. Oh by the way, I talked to Yang today, who gave us the name, and she said that hashtags are super super important. And sometimes you gotta post 2 or 3 times for it to get viral. Super super important? Okay, so that's why we got no views, because our hashtags were weak, right? Handsome guy, right? Hashtag handsome guy. 

But these aren't handsome guys, these are dancing. Mike, obviously people want to see handsome guys more than dancing, right? The dance that's gonna make us blow up. It's day 2 now. Put all this morning's sadness behind. No, TikTok is not the same game we though it was, it's a little bit harder. It's harder, man. "A little bit"? Dude, dude. You know how much we increased? I just woke up, and I checked how many views we gained today. And it honestly makes no sense for me. Probably one of the most frustrating and confusing things I've ever seen in my life. Alright, first let me show you guys the ones from yesterday. Do you know how many we gained? We gained 5 from last night, 5 from last night. Are you kidding me? Edward, yours that you spent 3 hours practising for has 0 views. 0. Look at this, Mike's has 0 views. What's the point of this? We might as well delete our TikTok account right now. Dude, might as well delete this and not release the stupid youtube video. We look like idiots now. Okay guys, we gotta have a serious discussion about... what to do with this video, okay? Let me just... put this down here. Cause right now it's...it's not cutting it for me. I think that we should pull the plug on this video entirely. Entirely? 

Like dude, we gained 5 followers. We gained 11 followers in total in the past 2 days. This is gonna make for just like... a what the hell Youtube video, you know? Gained 11, 11. So I'm saying we scrap this 3-day challenge. Dump it, so that no one knows "okay, they made these cringy TikToks and stuff trying to get famous." We spent– yesterday, we spent like alone like 2, 3 hours doing this, and the day before 3 hours, and you want to pull the plug on the whole thing, that's such a waste of time, bro. ...embarrassing, and I feel bad, but I feel even worse for wasting 2 days of my time. Yeah. Maybe we don't quit on it, we just go through with it. You really think we can get... I worked 2 hours on that. 99,500 views in a day? I just think if we put– Okay, you know what? Like if we put a little more– A little more effort? No, not a little more, like a lot more effort in. Like we help each other film ours, we do the studio lighting, we film with the big camera, maybe, and then we upload it onto our phone. So you still wanna go...put this... I want to put this out for sure, because... I don't want this to be a waste, because of the fact that we haven't tried our best. I will go hard on it. And then we do our best that's like our best... 

We're actually trying now. Where do we set our goal at? Like... We got to have something. I was gonna say like 1000 or something. 1000? Yeah. I wanna say it's reasonable, but... We'll do our best. Alright. Wanna do 1000 on 3? Alright, 1000 on 3, okay? Alright, 1, 2, 3, a thousand! Plan time. Alright, what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do? Mike, what's your idea? This is my idea. Okay, so this is... It's a song playing on the front. And then we're chilling. And then some girl... And then we completely change characters. Okay. Alright, so, to do that, we need a green screen, we need styled hair, no lazy hair, no glasses. We need some like a cool background. So like, searching into cool background. And we need a character. We need a character to change into. 

A radical transformation. Alright. You guys ready to break? Yeah. Alright yo guys, let's do it good, okay? Alright, yo guys. Alright, this time we'll help each other film. Alright, the goals... Alright, we're not gonna quit, okay? Okay, 1000. We're just gonna go through, 3, 2, 1, a thousand! Alright guys, it's 10pm now, which means the first video is gonna go up. I mean, at this point, like obviously 100k is not a thing anymore, but... I mean, it's just A) to get 1000, and B) to just prove to ourselves, you know, we didn't quit when things are kinda... And then honestly, we put in the effort. But the most important thing is that we... we went through with it, we... We'll see how the performance goes tomorrow morning, and then we'll just accept it, and just be happy with it. Yeah. Alright, let's put it up. Post it, post it. We got a lot of hashtags too, we did a lot of research into the most popular ones. I'm gonna post. We're gonna post, and guys, okay. Only 1000, okay? We're just gonna go for 1000, and if we get there, honestly I'll... We're gonna be so happy. 

We put in a lot of work. If not, I'm gonna cry tomorrow morning. Alright. Ready guys? Post. Please, man. Please! Ayy, alright. So we are gonna go see... how good the TikToks did now. And if we hit our goal of 1000... Where were we at yesterday? 4...10. 420-ish. Did you post all the caption to be we wanna reach 1000 followers? Basically, yeah. Okay. Cause that might help. We changed our captions. We've invested a lot into this. 3 days now. Basically our pride, so... Let's really hope this does well. Okay, ready? I'm kinda scared. I'm kinda scared too. 3, 2, 1. 480! That's not bad. That's a big spike. 

Okay. I thought...honestly I thought... I thought we were gonna reach 500. We reached 480. Not bad, right? I mean, it's not what we... Wait, we were starting at 416, we got 480. So we gained 64. I thought we would reach 500 at least. We gained 64. Do you remember our initial goal of 100,000? At least we went through with it. Honestly, it was pretty fun. Next time, maybe if we do American TikTok, we're gonna get 100,000. It's cause it's Chinese TikTok. If it was American, it'll be easier, yeah. For sure. Alright guys, peace.
