Best vs Worst Content

Personal stories with stakes — dad post hit 12.7M IG views. No tips. Pure story.
Short physical tips with props — pen articulation tip hit 527K TikTok + 21.8K saves
"I am the niche" philosophy — his core IP, appears 3x/week, drives highest saves
Revenue milestones — "$7M in 13 months" drives highest comment count
Gym/lifestyle off-niche — "save this to grow your arms" = 11.6K (his lowest)
Generic tips without story — "imperfect action wins" = 18.6K. Needs story or stat.
Long YouTube tutorials without personal proof — "Grow and Monetize in 2026" = 1.8K views

5 Things to Learn from Jun Yuh for Your Digital Product Launch

1Lead every product launch with a personal story, not a pitch. His dad video (12.7M) drove more Creator College sign-ups than any promotional post. Your mum life list (3.5M) is your equivalent — use it to funnel into your digital product.
2"I am the niche" is one idea repeated 100 ways. Decide your one big idea — your version is "mum who built a digital business during maternity leave" — and repeat it from every angle, every day, across every platform.
3Revenue milestones are your best sales content. He posts "$7M in 13 months" and gets 308 comments and an immediate call sign-up. Your version: "3.6M followers from zero" or "£X from a digital product in my first month" — post the number the moment you hit it.
4The motherhood + creator education niche is completely unowned. He teaches creators but can't tell the story of building during maternity leave. That's your gap. That single story — "I built a creator business with a newborn on my chest" — is something no one else in this space can own.
5In-person events are his biggest content asset. His NYC sold-out event vlog has 465 YouTube comments — his most engaged video. Events create community, proof, and content all at once. Even a 20-person Future Creator meetup in London would generate months of content.
🎯 Your unique advantage over Jun Yuh: He posts daily motivation for aspiring creators from a male, US-based, tech-background perspective. You are a first-generation Vietnamese-British woman, mum of a newborn, 14 years in beauty, building a business from Greenwich. Every single one of those details is a hook he can never use. You don't compete with him — you serve a version of his audience that he's completely ignored.

Best days: Thursday–Saturday for paid deals · any day for cultural moments
Pattern: Reacts to trending moments within hours · speed is her edge

Best vs Worst Content

Cultural moment content — Coachella/Bieber hit 739K · 16 seconds · zero effort
Silent reaction videos — no caption 12-sec posts hit 400K+ regularly
Announcement-style reveals — "SHE'S BACKKKK" Natasha Denona · brand love content
Long paid brand integrations — Medicube AD (1:54) hit only 81.9K vs 739K for Coachella
Branded hashtag campaigns — #NDPartner posts hit 8K · worst performing category

5 Things to Learn from GLAMZILLA for Your Beauty Content

1Speed on cultural moments beats preparation. Her Coachella post was 16 seconds with no caption and hit 739K. You have 1.2M TikTok followers — a 15-second reaction to a trending moment posted within the hour of it happening will always outperform a prepared beauty tutorial.
2Silent short-form content is underrated. Her 12-second no-caption posts consistently hit 400K+. Test one post per week with no text overlay, no caption, no CTA — just the visual. Your beauty content lends itself to this format.
3Medicube is actively in the market paying creators. She has a live #AD Medicube PDRN deal. This brand aligns directly with your K-beauty background and postpartum skincare angle. Pitch them now — they're in active influencer budget cycle.
4Paid content that feels like organic content performs best. Her top paid posts use "I have literally owned EVERY product since launch" framing — genuine fan language that happens to be sponsored. Model your paid posts on that authenticity, not a standard ad format.
5She has 2.8M followers and her brand-hashtag campaign posts barely hit 8K. Brand deal volume doesn't equal brand deal quality. Your 265K organic Benefit post — with no payment — outperformed most of her sponsored content. Lead with that data in every pitch.

Ultra-short confidence statements — "no beauty filter, don't play with me" = 2.4M + 21.2K saves
"Walk with me" GRWM format — Danessa Myricks WALK WITH ME = 108K + 2.7K saves

Charlotte Tilbury paid deal — her only visible brand deal hit 1.6M plays · extremely rare paid post
Very long GRWM tutorials (6+ min) — "chai" at 6:30 = 10.5K despite large following
Reply videos to small accounts — @Milka reply = 4.3K · audience doesn't follow small tags

5 Things to Learn from NATORI for Your Beauty Content

1A confident statement in 8 seconds outperforms a 6-minute tutorial. "No beauty filter, don't play with me" is 8 words and 8 seconds. 2.4M views. 21.2K saves. You have the same energy in your postpartum honesty content — apply it to your beauty identity once a week.
2The "walk with me" GRWM format drives exceptional saves. 108K views + 2.7K saves on a 1:26 video. You don't need a ring light and studio setup — walking around your beauty room tagging products as you go is a high-save format you can film in 10 minutes.
3Showing failure builds more community than showing perfection. "I messed up a step" hit 91K and 3.2K saves. Your audience responds to this exact energy in your motherhood content. Apply it to your beauty and business content too — show the mistake before the fix.
4Charlotte Tilbury is actively paying creators at 1.1M followers. Her only visible paid deal was Charlotte Tilbury and it hit 1.6M plays. You are at 1.2M TikTok followers. This is a direct pitch opportunity — you are the same size creator with UK-based audience advantage (Charlotte Tilbury is a UK brand).
5She rarely posts branded content which makes her organic reach extraordinary. No brand dilution means the algorithm treats every post as genuine. Consider capping your paid deals at 1 per week and keeping 6 out of 7 posts brand-free. The data shows your organic posts (265K beauty, 3.5M mum list) massively outperform your paid ones (8.3K SHEIN).

Korea skin clinic content — 39.2K despite strong hook · niche travel content limits audience

5 Things to Learn from alxandra for Your Beauty Content

1The "I cannot stop using this" obsession hook is your highest-save beauty format. Her Mango People post hit 173.5K and 6,735 saves — a 3.9% save rate which is exceptional. This exact hook works because it's a personal confession, not a review. Test it this week on one of your current beauty favourites.
2A 7-second teaser pointing to a previous video hit 1.1M views and 15.7K saves. She posted a quick hair transformation and said "my DIY tutorial is in the previous video." That technique — making the result the hook, not the tutorial — is something you can apply to any of your existing YouTube videos right now.
3Her beginner makeup 101 had the highest saves of any tutorial format — 13,454 saves from 248K views. "Beginner" content attracts a huge audience that your regular beauty audience misses. You could do a "mum who got back into makeup after a baby" beginner series that sits at the intersection of beauty and motherhood — completely unique.
4She tags 10–16 brands in one post and all of them see the tag. Her beginner makeup tutorial listed 16 brands and drove 13.5K saves. Multiple brand tags = multiple organic brand radar pings + higher save rate as people bookmark to shop. You already do this — scale it up.
5She has 286K followers and is working with Sephora, Patrick Ta, Huda, Makeup By Mario. You have 4x her audience. Every brand she tags organically is a brand that should already know who you are. Start tagging all of them in your next beauty post — the organic mention gets you on their radar before the paid pitch lands.

Best time: 6pm–10pm UTC · evening US time (she's US-based)
Best days: Wednesday–Saturday · highest reach days
Format mix: Lifestyle vlogs (3–5 min) · relatable anxiety hooks · pregnancy updates

Best vs Worst Content

House hunting vlog — 181.4K + 302 shares · lifestyle stakes = reach
Relatable mum anxiety hook — "anyone else always worried their child is behind?" = 97.8K
Physical pregnancy struggle content — hip pain while cleaning = 284K · suffering = relatability
Clean with me format — 63.1K from 11 seconds · short + domestic = high completion rate
Beauty/LTK content — Sephora Sale favs = 27.9K · her audience isn't there for beauty
Anatomy scan milestone posts — 17.2K despite being a major pregnancy milestone · over-indexed in this niche

5 Things to Learn from Kristina for Your Motherhood Content

1Physical struggle content drives her highest reach. "THE HIP PAIN?!" hit 284K because it combines complaint + relatability + physical specificity. You've done this with your hair loss and C-section content — keep making the physical difficulties of early motherhood the anchor of your reach content.
2"Anyone else...?" is one of the most powerful hooks in the mum content niche. It immediately invites participation without asking a direct question. Apply this to every pain point you're experiencing with Maison: "anyone else's baby refuse a bottle until 4 months?" "anyone else feel guilt about returning to work?"
3She has 735K followers and is getting 97–284K on her best posts. You have 1.2M TikTok followers and hit 3.5M on your best. You are already in a completely different performance tier. Her audience and yours overlap heavily — look at her comment sections for content ideas direct from your shared audience.
4Short "clean with me" or domestic task formats perform well even at 11 seconds. This is a fast-to-film, high-completion-rate format. "Clean with me — newborn edition" or "getting ready with a 4-month-old hanging off me" are low-effort, high-reach posts for your weeks when filming is hard.
5Her audience doesn't follow her for beauty — and yours does. That's your competitive advantage. You can post mum content that hits her audience AND add a beauty layer she can't. A "postpartum beauty routine for exhausted mums" hits both audiences at once.

Posting Rhythm

TikTok: 2–5/day when trending moments are live · can go quiet for days between
Best time: 9am–4pm UTC · UK morning through afternoon (she may be UK-based)
Best days: Saturday for cultural moments · whenever trending news breaks
Pattern: Burst posting strategy — posts 5–7 times in 48 hours when a moment hits, then slows down

Best vs Worst Content

Cultural moment reaction — "NEVER RECOVERING #bieberchella" = 455K + 1,423 shares
"GIDDY" one-word emotional reaction — 169.7K · minimalist + authentic emotion
Rhode BTS content — "bts 💅🏻 #rhode" = 101.9K · brand partnership feels organic
Outfit breakdown vlogs — 121.8K · fashion content performs well for her
"Chelly, goodbye" farewell content — 69.2K · personal farewells don't resonate
Static posts between trending moments — drops to 40–70K when no trend to ride

5 Things to Learn from Sydney for Your Content Strategy

1She has 322.6K followers and Rhode is paying her for brand partnerships. You have 1.2M followers — 4x her audience. Rhode is an open pitch opportunity for you right now. They're actively investing in creators at her level and below. Your beauty audience + 1.2M TikTok following makes you a significantly more attractive partner.
2Burst posting during a trending moment works better than daily consistency. She posted 7 times in 48 hours during Bieber Coachella and hit 455K on her best post. When a cultural moment aligns with your audience — a mum moment, a beauty moment, a UK moment — post 3–5 times in quick succession to ride the algorithm spike.
3One emotional word as a caption is a legitimate high-performance format. "GIDDY" hit 169.7K. No hashtags, no product tags, no explanation. Pure emotion. Test this once a week — one word that captures exactly how you feel in that moment, whether it's about Maison, GR, or your business.
4BTS brand content performs better than polished brand content. Her "bts 💅🏻 #rhode" post hit 101.9K because it felt like she grabbed her phone, not like she filmed an ad. Your next brand post: film the getting-ready, the testing, the reaction — not the polished result.
5She goes quiet between trending moments and her reach drops significantly. Consistent daily posting protects you from the algorithm gaps that burst-posting creators suffer. Your current consistency of 5–6 posts/week is a competitive advantage over her strategy.

Talking to Camera527K TikTok

"AI will not take your job — but it will expose you if you're focused on the wrong things"
Talking to Camera158.4K TikTok
Caption Used

"In the age of AI, ideas are no longer the competitive advantage — distribution is. Build an audience that trusts you."

Talking Points

AI democratised ideas → distribution = new moat → content creators who own community will win → short-form → loyal audience → in-person events = how real communities are built 2026

How Thuy Uses This
"AI is not going to replace creators — but it will replace creators who don't build a real audience." 12 seconds, bold claim, no tutorial. Perfect for your creator education content and LYBL launch funnel.
03
"the parts of your story you try to hide are usually the parts people connect to most"
Talking to Camera166.4K TikTok · 735K IG
Caption Used

"you're not behind. you're not late. you're not 'less than' — you're just sitting on experiences you haven't owned yet. tell your story and become the niche."

Talking Points

The parts you're ashamed of are your differentiator → the immigrant story, the failure, the embarrassing start → own it publicly → that vulnerability = audience trust = community = product sales

How Thuy Uses This
"The parts of my story I used to hide are now my most-watched content." Talk about your council house upbringing, your Vietnamese heritage, your RSOLVD closure — the things that felt like setbacks are your biggest hooks for your Future Creator audience.
04
"'extremely unhinged' changed everything for me"
Talking to Camera58.1K TikTok
Caption Used

No hashtags. Minimal caption. Video explains a mindset shift that was described as "extremely unhinged" — reveals the story behind the label.

Talking Points

Quote someone criticising your approach → reframe it as validation → show the results that proved them wrong → turn the insult into your brand's badge of honour

How Thuy Uses This
"Someone told me starting a digital business while on maternity leave was 'embarrassing.' Here's what happened next." Use the criticism as the hook. Works perfectly as a Future Creator teaser post.

How Thuy Uses This
"If you've been comparing your business to creators who've been doing this for years 👇🏼" — speak directly to new creators and new mums who feel behind. This is the emotion that drives Future Creator Club sign-ups.
06
"psychology hacks that the top 1% don't tell you about!!"
Talking to Camera117K TikTok · 1,430 shares
Caption Used

Being a great creator = excellent communicator. It's not about fancy language — it's about understanding how viewers think. Follow for personal branding help.

Talking Points

3–4 specific psychology principles (curiosity gap, social proof, loss aversion, reciprocity) → how each applies to content → one actionable example for each → "follow for part 2"

How Thuy Uses This
"Psychology hacks that made my posts go viral (and why most creators never learn these) 💀" — works for your creator education content. High shares = high reach = top of your product funnel.
07
"back in 2021 when I first started posting, I truly hated the idea of 'picking a niche' — I found it limiting. 5M followers and many millions of dollars later, I have stood firm."
Talking to Camera22.6K TikTok
Caption Used

"i am the niche — and if you're like me, follow to learn how to do this yourself ❤️"

Talking Points

Origin story → the wrong advice you were given → why you ignored it → what happened as a result → your core philosophy in one sentence → invitation to follow

How Thuy Uses This
"When I started creating content 7 years ago, I was told to pick one thing. Beauty OR lifestyle. Beauty OR business. I ignored that advice. Here's what happened." Your version of the origin story is richer than his — use it as your flagship creator education hook.
08
"how to be more articulate 👇🏼 — most people write a script and just read it. they don't think about HOW they're actually saying the words"
Talking to Camera75.6K TikTok · 2,070 saves
Caption Used

"when you pay attention to where you pause, what words you hit harder, what you just let fall off — you go from boring video to one that guides attention. the words matter but HOW you say them is what makes people listen."

Talking Points

The mistake everyone makes → the invisible skill of delivery → 3 specific things to control (pause, emphasis, trailing off) → how each changes how viewers experience the video → the before/after difference

How Thuy Uses This
"The thing no one tells you about getting good on camera — it's not what you say, it's how you say it 🎥" This works perfectly in your creator education niche and gives your Future Creator audience an immediately actionable tip.
09
"first ever in-person event. dream come true. sold out. NYC out ✌🏼"
Vlog/Milestone28.5K TikTok
Caption Used

No hashtags. Pure milestone emotion. Let the moment speak. 18 seconds long.

"we did it ❤️ today marks $7M in 13 months… comment 'summit' to join my private call on digital products"
Talking to Camera39.5K IG · 308 comments
Caption Used

Milestone announcement + comment word CTA to access private call. DM funnel built into comments.

Talking Points

How Thuy Uses This
When you hit your first revenue milestone with Future Creator Club — comment "CREATOR" to join my free live on how I built this during maternity leave." Use comment-word CTAs from day one. They drive 5x more DMs than a link in bio.

Talking to Camera91K TikTok · 3,231 saves
Caption Used

No hashtags. Pure authentic frustration. The caption IS the hook.

Talking Points

Show the imperfect result → explain what went wrong → show you're going to try again → the struggle is the entertainment → the retry is the tutorial → the mess is the relatability

How Thuy Uses This
"I messed up my makeup trying to film this and honestly it's kind of better? 😭" Show the mistake first. Film the fix second. The authentic mess always outperforms the polished result — especially for your returning-to-beauty-after-baby angle.

Talking to Camera/Product173.5K TikTok · 6,735 saves
Caption Used

Show only the finished result → let the transformation speak → single line pointing to previous video → no explanation needed → curiosity gap does the work

How Thuy Uses This

Travel Vlog39.2K TikTok · 752 saves
Caption Used

Tags the clinic + Anua PDRN cream for recovery. Full honest account of the experience.

Talking Points

"So you don't have to" = selfless positioning → what treatments you tried → what worked vs didn't → recovery products → honest verdict → who it's for and who it's not for

How Thuy Uses This
"I tried [treatment/product] so you don't have to 🫡" — works for K-beauty treatments, baby products you tested on Maison, postpartum recovery products. The selfless framing ("so you don't have to suffer") positions you as a trusted filter for your audience.
21

Be in the moment → zero explanation → your genuine emotional reaction → the trend does the work → post within the hour of the moment breaking

How Thuy Uses This
When the next cultural moment happens that aligns with your audience — a mum TV moment, a beauty launch, a UK cultural event — post a 15-second reaction with all caps and maximum energy within the hour. Speed is the entire strategy here.

"nvm cut that out" — raw, unplanned BTS moment that wasn't supposed to be content
BTS/Unplanned188.8K TikTok
Caption Used

Just "nvm cut that out" — the accidental moment becomes the content. 18 seconds.

Talking Points

Something goes wrong during filming → your natural unscripted reaction → you decide to post it anyway → the imperfection is the entertainment → no polish needed

How Thuy Uses This
When Maison interrupts a filming session, when your ring light falls over, when a brand product doesn't work the way you expected — post the outtake. "nvm cut that out" energy is 188K views of doing absolutely nothing. You already have this content, you're just not posting it.
23
"HOW TO GLOW ALL DAY IN THE DESERT 🌵 — here's everything I'm using to prep before glam"
Tutorial/Paid81.9K TikTok · #AD
Caption Used

Lists 3 products with @medicube tag. #medicube #AD. Occasion-led hook (Coachella prep) makes the ad feel contextual.

Talking Points

Occasion = context for the product → prep routine that solves a specific environmental challenge (desert heat) → each product explains one specific function → finish = glowing skin proof

How Thuy Uses This
"HOW TO LOOK AWAKE WITH A NEWBORN 😅 — everything in my current skincare routine as a sleep-deprived mum." Occasion-led beauty hooks — Mauritius prep, postpartum glow, one-handed beauty routine — give your brand deals a reason to exist beyond "I was paid to post this."
24
"SHE'S BACKKKKKK😮‍💨 NATASHA DENONA IS NOW AT @sephoracanada 🇨🇦"
Brand Announcement8.5K TikTok · #NDPartner
Caption Used

Full product list with personal history: "I have literally owned EVERY SINGLE Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette since her original launch." Passion-first, partnership second.

Talking Points

Personal history with the brand → why this news matters → product recommendations from experience (not from a brief) → excitement as genuine fan → the sponsorship feels earned not bought

How Thuy Uses This
"SHE'S BACKKKK — [brand] just launched [product] and I've been waiting for this for so long 😮‍💨" When a brand you genuinely love makes an announcement, post this format immediately. Fan-first language makes every brand partnership feel organic.
25
"After 10 years, FINALLY! It's happening!" — milestone personal achievement in the industry
Talking to Camera2.4M TikTok (all-time)
Caption Used

"#makeup #sephora #makeupartist #bipoc" — the context does all the work. The milestone is the hook.

Talking Points

Time invested → the dream → the moment it happened → the emotion in real time → let the audience celebrate with you → no explanation of why it matters because the tears do that

How Thuy Uses This
"After 7 years of creating content — it finally happened." Use this for your first big digital product milestone, your first sold-out launch, your first brand partnership you've always wanted. The time + finally formula is one of the most viral milestone formats in existence.

Lifestyle Vlog284.2K TikTok · 862 saves
Caption Used

"#cleantok #realisticmomlife #pregnancy #toddlermom #momsoftiktok" — relatable hashtag stack. 2:06 video.

Talking Points

State the physical complaint loudly → show yourself doing the task anyway → the achievement in spite of the struggle → laugh at yourself → "realistic mum life" framing

How Thuy Uses This
"THE HAIR LOSS?! 😭 getting myself ready while Maison screams and my ponytail is basically gone." Combine the physical postpartum struggle with you doing something anyway. The defiance in spite of difficulty is what drives shares.
27
"Anyone else always worried their child is behind?! 🥲🙋🏼‍♀️ definitely going to stop comparing him"
Talking to Camera97.8K TikTok
Caption Used

"#motherhood #momtok #momsoftiktok #toddlermom #pregnant" — motherhood hashtag stack only. 2:44 video.

Talking Points

"Anyone else?" invitation → acknowledge the comparison trap → one specific thing you caught yourself comparing → why you're choosing to stop → gentle encouragement for the audience in the same situation

How Thuy Uses This
"Anyone else comparing their baby's development to every other baby on TikTok? 🥲" — talk about Maison's milestones and the comparison anxiety. Direct relatable hook to your exact audience. High shares as mums send it to each other.
28
"Can you tell storage is a HUGE thing we are looking for? 😅😂" — house hunt vlog slice of life
Lifestyle Vlog181.5K TikTok · 302 shares
Caption Used

"#househunting #modelhomes #fyp #foryou #dreamhome" — aspirational hashtags. 4:24 vlog.

Talking Points

Relatable running commentary on a real decision → the thing you keep saying or noticing → show the moment → laugh at yourself → keep it moving → no resolution needed, the journey is the content

How Thuy Uses This
"Can you tell I have a baby who won't sleep? 😅" — use this format for any running joke about your real life: the state of your beauty room during filming, the amount of Maison's stuff in the background, the perpetual tiredness. The self-aware commentary format drives high shares.
29
"I knew I still had it in me 🤪 Just needed a few hours to myself and a vacuum 👏🏼"
Lifestyle/Clean Vlog63.1K TikTok from 11 seconds
Caption Used

"#cleantok #realisticmomlife #motherhood #toddlerlife #fyp" — 11 seconds. Fastest film-to-post format possible.

Talking Points

11 seconds. No tutorial. Just the win. The caption carries the story: I got a few hours, I used them well, I feel proud. Done.

How Thuy Uses This
"I knew I still had it in me 🤪 just needed Maison to nap for 90 minutes and a ring light 💄" — post this the next time you film something during naptime. Quick win content is low effort and high relatability for your mum audience.
30
"NEVER RECOVERING #bieberchella" — single emotion about a cultural moment
Cultural Reaction455K TikTok · 1,423 shares
Caption Used

One sentence and one hashtag. 32 seconds. Pure emotion.

Talking Points

Full emotional reaction → no analysis, no commentary, no "as a creator I think..." — just the raw feeling → the less you say the more relatable it is → let the viewer project their own reaction onto yours

How Thuy Uses This
"NEVER RECOVERING from the moment Maison laughed for the first time 😭" — apply this format to your motherhood milestone moments. Pure emotion, minimal words. Let the viewer feel it with you. High shares because people want to send it to someone else who'll understand.
31
"Mum life at the moment? It's… Monday: hair loss. Tuesday: breastfeeding struggles. Wednesday: sleep regression." [YOUR OWN — 3.5M]
List Format3.5M TikTok · YOUR POST
Caption Used

"No one warned me that 4 months is this brutal! Watch my 4 month update vlog on YouTube 🎥 #postpartumjourney #mumlife #motherhood"

Talking Points

Day-by-day format → one specific relatable thing per day → build to the most brutal thing on day 7 → "Sunday: doing it all over again" = resigned acceptance → audience sees their own week in it

How Thuy Uses This Again
Month 5 version: "Mum life at 5 months? It's… Monday: random crying (me, not him). Tuesday: he grabbed my face and I sobbed. Wednesday: forgot to eat until 3pm again." Film this Wednesday at 2pm. Your proven 3.5M formula — just update the month.
32
"Things no one warned me about having a newborn" [YOUR OWN — 492K]
Talking to Camera492K TikTok · YOUR POST
Caption Used

"From hair loss to active sleep, poo changes and learning how to breastfeed, newborn life is wild! #newborntruths #firsttimemum #postpartumlifestyle"

Talking Points

The list format within a talking video → specific surprising truths rather than general ones → things that feel embarrassing to admit → the more specific, the more viral → "no one warns you" positions you as the honest friend

How Thuy Uses This Again
"Things no one warned me about month 5 as a mum." "Things no one warned me about building a business after having a baby." "Things no one warned me about breastfeeding ending." The formula works for every stage — keep updating it every month.
33
"At-home high maintenance beauty routine to stay low maintenance 🌟" [YOUR OWN — 265K]
Tutorial265K TikTok · 619 saves · YOUR POST
Caption Used

"Your sign to save your coin and do your own lashes, brows, facial and hair! 👏" + 5 brand tags

Talking Points

The paradox hook (high maintenance TO stay low maintenance) → the treatments you DIY → cost comparison to salon → each treatment in one step → brands tagged for each → final result shot

How Thuy Uses This Again
"High maintenance mum beauty routine — but make it actually achievable with a baby 🌟" Update with postpartum-specific products. Film the version where Maison is in the bouncer watching. The routine + baby angle is unique to you and doubles your audience reach.
34
"This is what my body looks like after an emergency C-section" [YOUR OWN — 1M]
Talking to Camera1M TikTok · YOUR POST
Caption Used

"Still swollen, still hard, still looking pregnant and feeling so tender. Giving birth is no joke and recovery is way more intense than I expected 😭🤍"

Talking Points

Show the honest truth → the physical specifics without filters → the emotions attached to the physical changes → what no one tells you → the context that makes it safe for others to feel what they're feeling

How Thuy Uses This Again
"This is what my body looks like at 5 months postpartum." Natural sequel. Your audience expects this update series. Every month is a new chapter — keep filming it. This format works as long as you're in the postpartum journey.
35
"Around month 3 and 4 your hormones start regulating… here's what actually helped me" [YOUR OWN — 118K + 1.2K saves]
Talking to Camera/Tips118K TikTok · YOUR POST
Caption Used

Full 10-step list in the caption. Three brand tags at end. #breastfeeding only.

Talking Points

The timing context → the specific mistake → your 10 practical solutions in order of impact → the one thing that made the biggest difference → product recommendations at the end → save this for later framing

How Thuy Uses This Again
"Around month 5 your baby starts doing [specific thing] — here's what actually helped us." Monthly update format for every new challenge Maison brings. High saves because mums are a few months behind you and saving it for when they get there.
36
"body language mistakes to avoid on camera — the smallest changes can make you LOOK and FEEL more confident"
Talking to Camera24.7K TikTok · 462 saves (Jun Yuh)
Caption Used

"follow for more content help 👨🏻‍💻" — minimal CTA, let the tips do the work.

Talking Points

3 specific body language mistakes: eye contact, hand positioning, head movement → show each mistake → show the fix → before/after if possible → the fix takes 30 seconds to implement

How Thuy Uses This
"Body language mistakes that are making you look less confident on camera 🎥" — perfect for your creator education funnel. Your 14 years in front of a camera gives you genuine authority here that a tech-background creator like Jun Yuh doesn't have.
37
"this is how anyone can pivot — especially when you've niched down originally, you'll find difficulty transitioning while keeping followers"
Talking to Camera8.2K TikTok (Jun Yuh)
Caption Used

"therefore, you need your bridge gap!! follow for more personal branding help ❤️🙌🏼"

Talking Points

The pivot problem → why followers disengage when you change niche → the bridge concept: one piece of content that connects old niche to new → your personal example of making the pivot → the 3-step method to take your audience with you

How Thuy Uses This
"How I'm going from beauty influencer to digital business owner — without losing my audience." This IS your current story. Film it now. The pivot from RSOLVD/beauty to LYBL/creator coaching is your most powerful and authentic creator education hook.
38
"switching from ChatGPT to Claude 👨🏻‍💻 — been spending time optimizing this transition as a creator and business owner"
Talking to Camera14.2K TikTok (Jun Yuh)
Caption Used

"follow to learn with me on this journey 🧠" — learning-in-public framing.

Talking Points

The tool you switched from → why you switched → what's different → what you use it for as a creator → one specific thing it changed → the invitation to learn together

How Thuy Uses This
"Tools I use to run my creator business with a baby — including the one thing that saves me 3 hours a week." Tool-based content for creators performs well for saves. Your real workflow is more relatable than his — you're doing it with Maison on your lap.
39
"Had to get it off my chest x" — vague emotional hook with zero context [YOUR OWN — 43.2K + 404 shares]
Talking to Camera43.2K TikTok · YOUR POST
Caption Used

No caption. No hashtags. Just the line. The mystery is the entire hook.

Talking Points

The vague hook creates immediate curiosity → the content can be anything personal → the ambiguity makes it highly shareable because people tag others saying "watch this"

How Thuy Uses This Again
"had to get it off my chest x" — use this hook every 3–4 weeks for any personal admission you've been holding back. About motherhood, about business, about your relationship. The vaguer the hook, the more people click.
40
"GIDDY" — one-word emotional caption about a moment, no explanation
One-Word Reaction169.7K TikTok (Sydney)
Caption Used

Just the word. 41 seconds. Whatever the video shows, the single word is the entire emotional framing.

Talking Points

One word does more emotional work than a paragraph. The viewer fills in the context. The feeling transfers. The simplicity is the hook.

How Thuy Uses This
"OBSESSED." "FINALLY." "HEALING." "PROUD." One word that captures your current emotional state — about Maison, about your launch, about your beauty routine. Post it with a video that matches the emotion. No explanation needed.
41
"Been looking forward to this day for SO LONG!! So grateful 🥹👏🏼🎀💖" — emotional milestone reveal
Vlog/Milestone17.2K TikTok (Kristina)
Caption Used

"#anatomyscan #secondtrimester #2under2 #momsoftiktok #motherhood" — niche hashtags only.

Talking Points

Build the anticipation → the wait → the moment → your authentic reaction → what this milestone means to you → gratitude to your audience for being part of the journey

How Thuy Uses This
"Been looking forward to this day for SO LONG 🥹" — use for your Future Creator Club launch day, Maison's first birthday, your first digital product sale. The milestone hook plus the wait gives the audience the payoff they've been waiting for.
42
"@Maybelline NY makeup but make her ASIAN!! 🥹 i feel so seen" — identity-led product reaction
Tutorial/Identity42.6K TikTok (alxandra)
Caption Used

"#makeup #drugstoremakeup" — minimal. The identity hook carries everything.

Talking Points

The brand made a choice that includes you → show why it matters → apply the product → the feeling of being represented → invite your community to feel it too

How Thuy Uses This
"[Brand] but make it actually work on Asian skin tones 🥹" — your Vietnamese heritage is a hook that beauty brands actively want. Shade-inclusive reviews from an Asian-British creator with your reach are genuinely underserved content. This is also a quiet pitch to brands about why representation matters.
43
"sounds like you're jealous and want a job? 🤷🏻‍♂️ — i have always been and always will be proud to be an immigrant"
Talking to Camera/Defend12.1K TikTok (Jun Yuh)
Caption Used

Full proud list of achievements. "if this bothers you, leave. if this empowers you, follow & let's kick butt."

Talking Points

Address criticism directly → flip it into pride → list the things the critics didn't see → invite the right audience to stay → make the negativity the springboard for your strongest statement of identity

How Thuy Uses This
"Someone told me I was 'too ambitious' for a new mum. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have 14 years in the beauty industry, a 3.6M audience, and a business I built while feeding a newborn. if that bothers you, leave. if it inspires you, follow." This exact energy is your brand.
44
"GOT IT DONE 👏🏼👏🏼 I really need to be better with planning these things 😅" — small win vlog moment
Lifestyle Vlog90K TikTok (Kristina)
Caption Used

"#momlife #realisticmomlife #motherhood #easterbasket #foryou" — 3:23 vlog.

Talking Points

The thing you almost didn't do → the chaos of getting it done → the result → the lesson you never quite learn → relatable self-deprecation + genuine achievement

How Thuy Uses This
"GOT IT DONE 👏🏼 I really need to be better at filming content with a newborn 😅" Every time you successfully film, post, or create something despite the chaos of early motherhood — document the behind the scenes. The struggle + the achievement is your brand.
45
"ad same step, new magic. the NEW @Charlotte Tilbury magic cream — powered by Recoverstem™️ Peptide"
Paid/Tutorial1.6M TikTok (Natori) · Charlotte Tilbury
Caption Used

"ad" disclosed immediately. Describes the product science in one sentence. No hashtags needed — the 1.6M views prove the product hook carries it.

Talking Points

"Same step" = fits into your existing routine → "new magic" = upgrade, not replacement → science descriptor adds credibility → application → before/after skin comparison → genuine reaction to finish

How Thuy Uses This
"same skincare step, new product — and my postpartum skin has never looked better 🤍" Use the "same step, new upgrade" framework for any product integration. Removes the friction of "I have to change my whole routine" and makes the product feel like an easy yes.
46
"I will always cherish these experiences during pregnancy 💖🥹 thank you @[brand]" — gratitude-led brand moment
Vlog/Milestone82.5K TikTok (Kristina)
Caption Used

"#secondtrimester #3dultrasound #pregnancy #motherhood #foryou" — niche hashtag stack, 2:41 vlog.

Talking Points

The experience → why it was meaningful → genuine gratitude that doesn't feel like an ad → the brand facilitating a memory, not selling a product → emotional connection to the product through the story

How Thuy Uses This
"I will always cherish this moment with Maison 🥹 thank you @[brand] for making it possible." Any brand that supported you during postpartum — Lansinoh, Lola&Lykke, Kendamil — can be framed as a memory-making partner, not just a product partner. This framing drives more brand love than any standard review.
47
"i found our SUMMER BRONZER!! it's the TANSCULPT from @Hung Vanngo Beauty ☀️ pick it up at the #sephorasale"
Product Discovery61.2K TikTok (alxandra)
Caption Used

Product name + brand tag + sale urgency. 55 seconds. "our" = community ownership of the find.

Talking Points

"I found OUR [product]" — the "our" makes the audience feel like they discovered it together with you → urgency of the sale → application → finish → one line on why it's better than alternatives

How Thuy Uses This
"I found our new postpartum skincare staple 💛" — the "our" hook builds community ownership of the recommendation. Use it for any product discovery moment. Sephora Sale is live — use it this week for your summer bronzer recommendation.
48
"Did I do okay, grandma?" — personal grief/reflection moment that has nothing to do with content creation
Personal/Emotional20.6K TikTok (Jun Yuh)
Caption Used

No caption. Just the question. 42 seconds of reflection.

Talking Points

Address someone who can't hear you but everyone watching can feel → the weight of grief or distance → the achievements you wished they could see → the thing you'd want them to know → a question you'll never get answered

How Thuy Uses This
"Did I do okay, Maison?" or "Letter to my baby about the year we've had 🥹" — the reflective question addressed to someone who can't answer is one of the most emotionally resonant formats in social media. Post it on a milestone — month 6, first birthday, your return to work anniversary.
49
"read the word on your screen — imperfect action will always win" — direct viewer challenge
Talking to Camera18.6K TikTok (Jun Yuh)
Caption Used

"imperfect action will always win >> follow for more content creation help 👨🏻‍💻"

Talking Points

Direct the viewer to interact with the screen → the concept it's demonstrating → one core belief stated plainly → the invitation to act on it today

How Thuy Uses This
"read the word on your screen." Put "START" on screen. Talk about the biggest thing stopping creators from starting — the perfectionism, the waiting until ready. This is a high-save creator education format that leads directly into a Future Creator Club CTA.
50
"I lost 30,000 in business. Learn from my mistakes" [YOUR OWN YouTube — adapted for TikTok]
Talking to Camera6.6K YouTube — fix this title
Caption Used

YouTube description with full business mistake breakdown. Strong content, weak title.

Talking Points

The business mistake you're most embarrassed about → the exact amount it cost → what you'd do differently → the lesson that saved your next business → the invitation for your audience to learn without paying your price

How Thuy Uses This
"I lost £30,000 building a skincare brand — here's what I'd do instead 💀" Film this as a TikTok. 60 seconds. Three specific mistakes. The £ sign matters for UK audience. End with "which is why I built something different — link in bio." Direct funnel to Future Creator Club from your most painful story.
