TikTok slideshow spam: my honest results

pixelperfect

i tried spamming TikTok slideshows to see how much I could actually make from an ebook. Found a site (pdftrendr.com) that generates ebooks and TikTok slideshows together, so I grabbed a bunch and posted them on one warmed-up account, four times a day. The ebook was £15, niche is untapped so keeping it quiet.

Day one: first video always pops off - 12k views on one, 24k total. No sale.

day two: one sale, but slideshows were down to 700-900 views average.

day four: another sale, still hovering around 700 views.

Day five: one video hit 73k views, but only one sale from it.

day six: that big video from yesterday finally converted - three sales. The other three posts for the day got 1k-3k views.

day seven: total revenue hit £90. Not massive, but the kicker is you can automate the whole thing with Claude and let it run in the background. infinite scaling potential.

honestly, the conversion rate stings - six sales from over 100k views is rough even for cold traffic. But for nearly zero effort, it's a decent proof of concept if you can stomach the low return per view

Love the transparency here - that's solid proof of concept for minimal effort. 👍

The conversion rate is definitely the kicker though, 6 sales from six figures in views is brutal even for cold traffic. How long were those slideshows taking you to punch out manually before Claude came to the rescue?

Oh brilliant, another "guru" flooding TikTok with slideshows of stolen content. That's a niche I'd run screaming from.

That's the exact roadblock I hit too-how did you manage to link the product in a slideshow? every time I try, it throws up the same "need a video" notice. Would love to know if there's a workaround you're using.

👀 The problem with marketing is that a scamming POS like this gets to call themselves a marketer too. 🤷‍♀️

Honestly, i get the appeal of automating those slideshows. Anything to take the drudgery out of daily posting, right? But I've seen too many people burn their audience by treating TikTok like a content dumping ground. Algorithm picks up on the lack of genuine engagement pretty fast. A little automation for scheduling? Sure. But if the posts feel hollow, your followers will feel it too

Honestly, that's the move right there. I've tried a few different approaches, but the "comment for [thing] and I'll DM you" method just works. it feels less pushy for the viewer, and you get actual engaged leads-not just passive likes.

i used to worry that people would find it spammy, but honestly, if the content's helpful and the lead magnet's solid, it just feels like a natural next step. Saves you from constantly shouting "link in bio" into the void, too.

honestly, i get why you're confused. Someone posts their actual results from a straightforward strategy and suddenly it's "scamming." There's a difference between sharing what worked and promising the moon. If the slideshows are relevant, well‑structured, and actually bring value, that's just smart content creation - not a scam. hard to see the line sometimes when everyone's so quick to judge.
