The Secrets Behind the Most Liked TikToks — and How to Create Viral Content
Why Some TikToks Go Viral — and Others Don’t
Every creator wants to know the secret behind a viral TikTok. The truth is, there’s no magic formula – but there is a repeatable strategy. The most liked TikToks share a few core traits: they grab attention instantly, connect emotionally, and inspire viewers to interact.
At Cheers Live TikTok Agency, we study top-performing videos and LIVE sessions daily to understand what makes content spread. Whether it’s a short clip or a full stream, the principles of virality stay the same. And, once you master them, your reach (and cash flow) can grow exponentially.
1. Start Strong: The Hook That Stops the Scroll
On TikTok, you have about two seconds to earn attention. The most liked videos open with a clear visual hook or curiosity trigger.
“Here’s why your TikToks aren’t getting views…”
“Watch what happens when I try this trend live!”
“I bet you’ve never seen this on TikTok LIVE before.”
Whether it’s a shocking visual, a strong statement, or a question that demands an answer – your opening moment matters most.
Pro Tip: The same rule applies to TikTok LIVE. Start your stream with energy and a clear reason for people to stay – don’t waste your first 10 seconds setting up.
2. Keep It Relatable and Emotional
The most liked TikToks usually trigger a reaction (laughter, surprise, empathy, or satisfaction.) Viral content connects emotionally, not just visually.
Creators who go LIVE and talk to their viewers like friends, build deeper engagement and loyalty. That connection is what drives people to gift, share, and return.
Ask questions, respond to comments, and make your viewers feel part of the moment. The stronger the connection, the more likely they’ll support you through gifts or diamonds.
3. Use Trends, But Make Them Yours
Trends can skyrocket your visibility, but only if you adapt them authentically. Don’t just copy what everyone else is doing. Add your spin, your story, or your humor.
In 2025, creators who use trending audio or filters within their niche see the best results. For example, a fitness creator might join a viral challenge with workout humor, while a lifestyle streamer could connect a trend to a personal story.
Cheers Live creators often merge trends from short videos into LIVE sessions, creating seamless transitions that pull followers from their feed into their stream – where they start earning from gifts and engagement.
4. Consistency Beats Luck
The biggest mistake creators make? Posting once, going viral, and then disappearing. The algorithm rewards creators who post and go LIVE consistently. More activity means more opportunities to be shown to new viewers.
Set a schedule for both videos and LIVE sessions, even if it’s just three short videos and two LIVE streams a week. It keeps your audience engaged and your momentum growing.
5. Turn Views Into Diamonds
Virality means reach, but reach means nothing if it doesn’t convert! The smartest creators turn their viral attention into tangible income.
Here’s how:
End your viral videos with a LIVE invite (“Come hang out with me live tonight!”).
Use your LIVE sessions to connect with the viewers who discovered you through those viral clips.
Keep your content loop connected – short videos bring in traffic, LIVE sessions build loyalty and earnings.
At Cheers Live, we help creators close this loop – using short-form content to boost LIVE visibility and teaching strategies that turn engagement into income.
