How warm-up works

A warm-up teaches TikTok your niche, so ScrollShow finds what’s going viral in it. ScrollShow does it for you, on your research account.

The first warm-up

It runs by itself, about an hour, in four parts:

  1. 25 minutes searching your niche. It opens posts, likes the good ones and saves the best.
  2. 5 minutes on For You. Anything off your niche gets Not interested.
  3. 20 minutes searching slideshows in your niche.
  4. 5 minutes checking For You.

What you control

  • How long: say it in the chat or to your agent, like "Warm up my account for 10 minutes".
  • What it does: tell it in your own words, in the chat or to your agent.
  • How often it likes and follows: ScrollShow decides that.

Good to keep in mind

You choose what your agent does: search your niche and engage with it, or scroll For You and stay on the posts in your niche, so more of them show up.

For You nothing like your niche? Ask it to search your niche and engage. No need to scroll For You yet. The longer the better: we recommend 25 minutes.

Then ask it to scroll For You and mark anything off your niche as Not interested.

Our default warm-up, above, does all of this. After it, your account knows your niche very well, and your For You shows only your niche.

When it’s done

Open TikTok in the Mac app and check your For You. It should be mostly your niche.

Your next viral slideshow is one ask away.

Slideshows are still the cheapest way to get your app seen on TikTok. The window is open. It won’t be forever.
