How I grew Tabs to
100M+ views with UGC.

One brand, a roster of creators and a post every day on three platforms. Here's how the engine works, part by part.

The problem

Tabs needed reach that didn't depend on paid spend. Paid reach stops when the budget stops. Every organic post is a new chance for the algorithm to find an audience.

A roster instead of one big influencer

The usual move is to pay one big creator for one big post. I built a wall of creators instead, many accounts posting about one brand, so no single person could stop the program. I recruited for consistency: can this person post every day for a month?

Every day, on accounts built for the brand

Creators posted daily to dedicated accounts like @naomixtabs, @bealovestabs, @tabs.monica and @marinalovestabs, on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. A video can break out on one platform and do nothing on the other two, so being on all three catches more of the upside.

Most posts get a few hundred views. A few break out, and volume does the rest.

Most posts flop, on purpose

A normal post got a few hundred views. Scroll any account and you'd see 398 views, 313, 245. Then one takes off. On @bealovestabs the top two posts got 266.2K and 42.4K views while almost everything else stayed under 400. @naomixtabs has 316 videos and 910.9K likes. Judge the program by the normal post and you'd shut it down.

Reels from the program, with their view counts.

Breakouts become the next brief

Every week we looked at what broke out, wrote one sentence on why, and sent the best of those to every creator as prompts. Likes on the breakouts reached 22.9K, 66.3K, 136.8K and 464.9K.

One team running it

Someone checked every account every morning. Someone recruited. Someone handled contracts and usage rights. Someone ran the weekly review. We ran it on one number, organic views a month, checked weekly.

The wall.

What the roster actually posted.

For your company

What I'd build for you.

Organic program

Creators posting every day on accounts dedicated to your company, on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

UGC for ads

New videos every week, with usage rights, ready to run on Meta and TikTok.

Both together

Videos that break out become ads, and what sells in ads goes back into the briefs.

Work with me

Interested? Fill this out.

Tell me about your company. If it's a fit, we'll look at what you're doing and come back with a page, ads and a plan for you. We work with Brazilian companies that already sell well and can invest US$5k to US$10k a month.

Tabs results are from another brand in another market. Yours will differ.
