Ok for anyone using TikTok this was shared in @Susan Ritchie community and I thought you all could benefit from her research and knowledge. Let us know if this is helpful I was asked like yesterday what shadow tagging is. It’s a term that I at that point had never heard of so I did a little digging in ChatGPT to try and understand what this new term is referring to. I decided to share the results here because I thought it seemed comprehensive and helpful. Shadow tagging on TikTok is a quiet, hidden system where TikTok assigns internal tags to your video based on what it thinks your content is about — even if you never added those tags yourself. These tags decide: - Who your video gets shown to - How far it gets pushed - What audience TikTok thinks you belong to - Whether your content is considered safe or risky You never see these tags… but TikTok uses them to categorize you. ✅ Simple, Grade-5 Explanation Shadow tagging is when TikTok puts secret labels on your video behind the scenes. For example: - “fitness” - “relationship problems” - “money advice” - “side hustle” - “medical content” - “weight loss” - “mental health” - “skincare claims” - “plastic surgery” - “MLM risk” - “kids content” These tags tell TikTok: “Show this video to this specific kind of person.” And if the tag is wrong, your video gets shown to the wrong audience, and views stay low. ❗ Why Creators Worry About Shadow Tagging If TikTok misunderstands your video, it may tag you incorrectly. Example: You teach cooking tips, but you say: - “I lost 20 pounds…”TikTok may shadow-tag you as weight loss, which is a restricted category. Result: Your future cooking videos get pushed out less… even though they’re harmless. ❗ TikTok Also Uses Shadow Tags for “Risky” Topics Videos can get shadow tagged as: - Medical advice - Financial claims - Weight loss - Mental health advice - Affiliate marketing - MLM indicators - Addiction - Legal claims - Plastic surgery

Ted took me up on an opportunity and look what happened on his first day in the program. Lets congratulate him for taking action. This is how easy it is

@Ted Mauro saw the opportunity of the Recurring profit club and Joined. This was my 2nd sale from sending people to the AI success School which is the free group. Thankyou and welcome Ted. I have now sent 7 people to the free community and made 2 sales. Here is the message from the leader of the group

Here's the cold truth: Algorithms do not care about your quality; they only care about engagement. Use AI to help you increase engagement! Compliments of Jonathan Mast 1. Master "The Scroll Stop": The first three seconds are all that matter. Your hook (the first line or image) must jolt the user out of their hypnotic scroll. If you fail here, the rest of your content is invisible. A Perfect Prompt: Act as a master viral copywriter. I am creating a piece of content about [Your Topic]. My target audience is [Your Audience]. I need to create 10 'Scroll Stop' hooks that are punchy, controversial, or create an intense curiosity gap to force them to stop scrolling. My goal is to grab their attention instantly. Ask me any questions you have. 2. Engineer "Dwell Time": The algorithm measures how long a user stays on your post. Longer watch time on a video or time spent reading a text post signals value. You must structure your content to hold attention, not just get a "like." A Perfect Prompt: Act as a content strategist. I have a 60-second video script about [Video Topic]. The content is valuable, but I am worried people will drop off. My goal is to optimize this script for maximum "Dwell Time." Review my script and tell me where to add pattern interrupts, open loops, or faster cuts to keep viewers hooked until the end. Ask me any questions you have. 3. Bait the "Comment": Algorithms push posts that create conversation. A post with 100 likes and 0 comments is dead. A post with 20 likes and 30 comments is going viral. End your post with a specific, slightly divisive, or easy-to-answer question. A Perfect Prompt: Act as a community engagement specialist. I have a post about [Your Topic]. The post gives [Number] tips. I need a "Comment Bait" question to add at the end that will spark a conversation. My goal is to get people to share their own opinions. Give me 5 question options, ranging from simple to slightly controversial. Ask me any questions you have. 4. Create "Share Triggers": A share is the holy grail of engagement. It tells the algorithm your post is so good, people are willing to stake their own reputation on it. Content that is highly relatable, incredibly useful (like a "hack"), or defines a group's identity gets shared.

OK so I managed to make an 8 minute video with NotebookLM. Here are the steps I took First I went to chatgpt and pressed on the + then selected the deep research option. I then entered this prompt "find me 8 of the most popular articles for people who are retired and want to earn a little extra to prop up their pension" It took a little while to find them but after Chatty returned the articles I put the links into NotebookLM which then summarized them into one very short paragraph. I then clicked on the video overview and after about 10 minutes I got this video back. I am going to post it on Youtube and see if it gets some views. Let me know what you think
