It Started With a Random Reel
I was just scrolling through Instagram when I saw this hilarious meme. It showed someone visiting a mental hospital, and a patient comes from behind and slaps the visitor in the most unexpected way. It was so funny.
I checked out that account and noticed something interesting. They were posting the same video over and over, and it was getting around 3,000 views per video. That got me thinking.
I love Beetlejuice (Lester Green) and his videos. They're absolutely hilarious. So I thought, why not try the same approach with his content?
My Approach
I grabbed Beetlejuice videos and added my own titles and captions to add value to them. This was important because Beetlejuice rarely speaks with context, so the captions help viewers understand what's happening and relate the content to real-life situations.
Adding Personal Touch with Captions
Beetlejuice content without context is hard to follow. I add text overlays and captions to bridge the gap between the content and the audience. The titles help relate his reactions to everyday situations that people can identify with.
Keeping It Under 1 Minute
I made sure to keep every video under 1 minute. This makes the content more engaging and helps avoid copyright issues. Short videos also have a better chance of going viral on Instagram Reels.
The Experiment That Changed Everything
I started by scheduling different videos using TheTabber to see which ones would get more engagement. When I noticed one video performing better than the others, I decided to schedule that same video for the next 5 days.
The next day, I was at the gym when my phone started blowing up with Instagram notifications. I opened the app and couldn't believe what I was seeing.
The Viral Moment
I went from a few thousand views to millions within a few hours. Every time I refreshed my account, the follower count had jumped again. It felt completely surreal watching it happen in real-time.
Consistency is Key
I'm still experimenting with different videos and keeping myself consistent by posting regularly using TheTabber. The hardest part of this niche is validating which content will perform well, editing videos properly, and staying consistent. TheTabber helps with all of that.
