Step-by-step instructions on how to create viral faceless TikToks.

With modern AI tools, it’s now easier than ever to create captivating TikToks.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll explain step by step how to create viral TikToks in no time. This guide is about the so-called shower thought niche. If you don’t know what it’s about, here’s a quick example. To learn more about how to earn money with TikTok, read this full guide. The Creator Rewards Program offers creators opportunities to earn rewards for engaging, longer video content, with benefits like an improved dashboard for tracking performance metrics and eligibility.

As you can see, a Minecraft Parkour gameplay is running in the background.

In the foreground, 2 cartoon characters take turns telling short thoughts that supposedly came to them while showering.

You’ve probably noticed that they speak with their real cartoon voice.

Finally, various images appear at the top of the picture that support the story. Enough analysis – let’s jump to the creation of these videos. Data from the Creator Rewards Program dashboard is crucial for tracking performance and improving content.

1. Background Gameplay.

Playing Minecraft gameplay in the background entertains the audience and ensures that the background is not just black, but colorful.

Of course, you don’t have to use Minecraft gameplay. Filters can also enhance the visual appeal of the gameplay. Subway Surf, for example, is also suitable. In my opinion, however, Minecraft gameplay entertains viewers the most.

Of course, you can record such gameplay yourself and spend hours trying to find the right Minecraft settings.

But you can also simply download a free to use gameplay from Youtube via an external downloader. To do this, copy the link of the video, paste it into the downloader and press download.

However, I cannot recommend this variant. Most of these gameplays have already been used multiple times on TikTok, resulting in videos often being taken down due to unoriginal content reasons.

The best way to buy gameplay is from an online service site, such as fiverr. There you can purchase original gameplays for 5 euros and use them in your videos without having to worry. I can especially recommend this provider, as I have been working with them for some time.

2. Create shower thoughts.

Of course, you can come up with your own thoughts that people get in the shower. But that’s too complicated for us and takes too long.

To create shower thoughts that engage your audience, just go to ChatGPT and have them create 10 shower thoughts for you. Just use this ChatGPT prompt:

“I want to create TikTok videos with shower thoughts. Give me 10 shower thoughts that sound funny when spoken by SpongeBob.” You get results like this: “When you open a refrigerator, the inside of the refrigerator becomes the outside world for the rest of the house!”

3. Voice Over.

To create a voice over of SpongBob and Patrick Star, you need to open the page elevenlabs.io.

There is a free version, but it doesn’t help us. Select the Starter plan from the different plans. This costs 1 euro in the first month, then another 5 euros per month. The investment is definitely worth it. Additionally, you may need a developer token to access certain features or functionalities, especially if you encounter security blocks or restrictions on your account.

Then look for two YouTube videos, in which SpongeBob talks and for Patrick Star another video.

Via an external youtube downloader you can now download this audio track as an MP3 version. You now upload these MP3 files one after the other to the Voice Cloning area of ElevenLabs.

In your library, you can now select these two voices. With both voices, you can now generate 5 shower thoughts one after the other and download them locally.

4. SpongeBob and Patrick Star Pictures.

Now you search for pictures of SpongeBob and Patrick Star on the Internet and download them.

After that, copy these images into Remove.bg. This page removes the backgrounds of the images, so all you have to do is download the two cut-out cartoon characters. With just a tap, you can easily select and use these images.

5. Matching images.

For each shower thought, you now discover an image that fits well to the situation.

For the refrigerator example, you can select a square image of an open refrigerator.

6. Merge in CapCut.

Now comes the most stressful part. We have to build a video from the small snippets.

To create TikTok videos, I can recommend the app CapCut, as the whole interface is very simple and it contains a free version that we will use.

First, drag and drop the Minecraft Parkour video into the timeline.

Now, to set the video format to portrait mode, press ratio and select the 9:16 ratio.

At the top corner, we now pull the image so large that it covers the entire screen.

For that, you have to pull the edges aut of the screen.

The next step is to insert the audio tracks from Elevenlabs. Simply drag them to the desired location in the timeline.

Then it is important to cut out the pauses in speech. To do this, select the audio track you want to edit and move the mouse pointer over the point where you want to start cutting out the pause. With the key combination control B you set a cut. You repeat the same thing at the end of the pause.

With the delete key you can now remove the pause in speech and pull the other part of the audio track closer.

When the audio track is finished, you can now insert the images of SpongeBob and Patrick Star. Whenever they are talking, let them appear from the side at the edge of the picture.

Finally, add the images that match the theme at the top. Viewers will watch the final video and engage with it.

Now all you have to do is render the video and upload it to TikTok with a suitable sound. I can recommend Married Life, as it fits well with this video style.

7. One last tip.

To improve engagement with your video, you can encourage your viewers to comment or do something similar during one of your last shower thoughts.

For example, tell them that the emote your viewers post in the comments will determine how their next day will go. This sounds weird at first, but it really helps to get more comments, so your video is more likely to go viral. If you want to find more faceless TikTok niches, check out this article.

Conclusion.

It is important to make sure that you do not copy this guide 1 to 1.

The shower thoughts niche is quite competitive, which is why it is often difficult for new creators to establish themselves in it.

That's why you have to incorporate your own ideas. For example, use other cartoon characters than SpongeBob and Patrick Star, which many people know as well.

It also takes some time for TikTok to recognize which people your video needs to be played to in order for it to get good views.

So don't let that put you off if your first few videos are unlikely to generate any views.
