Seriously, this app is pulling in $80,000 every single month. How? They cracked the code on TikTok slideshows. We're talking about Flamingo Cards, a simple trivia app. They got a mind-blowing 671 million views by dropping 6,535 slideshows on TikTok over about a year. Some of their accounts are even posting 7+ times a day!
This isn't just about luck. They have a killer strategy that anyone can learn from.
Flamingo Cards, which is a simple app with question decks (deep, couple, gossip stuff), is killing it because their distribution strategy is out of this world.
They started posting slideshows 577 days ago on their main account. That account alone has banked over 500 million views, with a median of 150K per post and I actually calculated that they have an 8% viral rate, even though it seems small for 7k posts, its crazy. That's huge!
Once they saw this format crushing it, they scaled like crazy around 350 days ago. They launched two more accounts. On each of those, they posted 2,500 times, hitting around 7 posts a day. These accounts have a solid 3% viral rate and 10% high-performing rate.
What’s wild is how simple the content is. Each post is just 7 screenshots of their cards per slideshow, with different graphics for each account. Because it’s so simple, they can pump out content in bulk using automation tools. We’re talking dozens of slideshows a day, then just post consistently.
And if that wasn't enough, they even moved to Instagram Reels 7 months ago. They're crushing it there too! Since Reels don't do slideshows, they turned them into videos with chill b-roll backgrounds. The volume is insane, but totally easy to automate because of the format.
It’s a simple app with insane distribution. They found what worked, and they scaled it like mad.
How YOU Can Replicate This (Starting with TikTok Slideshows):
This whole success story hinges on the power of slideshows. Now, here’s how you can do it too. This assumes you already have your B2C app ready to go.
1.
Create US Accounts: Get US-based accounts set up on TikTok. You HAVE to use a VPN for this (think ExpressVPN, NordVPN, ProtonVPN). Make sure these accounts are NOT directly tied to your app. Think of them as theme pages in your app's niche. This helps your content get seen by a wider audience.
2.
Warm Up Accounts: This step is absolutely critical! Before you even think about posting, you need to warm up your accounts. I recommend spending 5-15 minutes daily scrolling and engaging with other content. Also, you need to train the algorithm to show you stuff relevant to what you're going to post. For example, if your app is about healthy recipes, make sure your TikTok feed is full of cooking videos and food slideshows.
3.
Test Viral Formats (Prioritize Slideshows): Flamingo Cards found the most success with slideshows/photo carousels because they are so easy to create and quick to test. This should be your main content format. To find out what’s hot, just look at what the algorithm is showing you in your niche. Once you’ve found your winning format you can automate it using tools such as AutoSlides.pro Your posts should NOT be blatant ads. Focus on providing value. So, instead of saying, "Use my app to find great recipes," a recipe slideshow could be titled "5 Simple Dinner Ideas for Busy Weeknights." The first few tips can be general, and then on the fourth slide, you might drop something like, "4. Get customized meal plans with {your app}."
4.
Replicate and Expand: Once you find a viral format and you’re getting good traction, stick with it! Post super regularly. After you see initial success, create accounts for Spanish-speaking countries, again using a VPN (like in Argentina). You can either repeat your successful format or find new viral trends for those markets.
