Three TikTok accounts are running a growth hack not commonly seen: pure slideshows that all open with the same AI-generated girl as the cover image and close with an engagement-farming slide asking viewers to comment to receive information.
This recurring AI face acts as a recognizable visual hook, the slideshow format keeps production on the cheap side, and the final slide converts passive viewers by requesting a comment.
Each comment triggers a direct message containing the promised link or information, flipping the funnel from link-in-bio traffic (where many viewers drop off) into private conversations that convert at higher rates.
The whole point of this loop is just reselling courses and supplier lists priced around $30 each, forming an efficient sequence: hook, engagement request, DM delivery, sale.
Comments boost algorithmic visibility, replies sustain engagement, and private messages replace friction-heavy public links with a more direct conversion path.
Automating the inbox with a messenger tool like ManyChat turns comment threads into instant lead funnels: auto-replies move commentators into structured conversation flows while automated DMs deliver promised resources and upsells. This scales cleanly and suits higher-ticket offers because inbound leads arrive partially qualified through the chat itself.
And yes, there’s a risk of sliding into spammy territory, with videos that overpromise and run afoul of platform rules that penalize tactics designed just to game comments and DMs.
If you’re looking at replicating this strategy, here’s the best practice: run small tests, measure DM-to-sale versus link-in-bio conversion, keep promises accurate, and automate only the parts that reduce friction (fast, clear replies and straightforward delivery).
