After getting engaged on August 15th, 2024 I challenged myself to post daily bridal content starting September 1st. Using existing engagement footage, I shared my journey across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts to see how different audiences engaged with the content. What started as a simple consistency challenge quickly turned into a viral success story, proving the power of strategic content repurposing and audience connection.

Challenge: Post daily content, especially proposal content BTS, following my engagement announcement

Platforms: TikTok (original content), Instagram (repurposed), YouTube Shorts (tested reach)

Key Approach: Leveraging existing engagement footage, experimenting with audience preferences, and iterating based on engagement metrics

Initial viral post: 50K views on day one, 120K plateau, now over 259K+ views

691 saves, 258 shares

Grew from +200 followers to 560 followers

Repurposed TikTok content performed even better

First viral post reached 1M views → 7M → now 11.8M+ views

Grew +2416 Instagram followers from this reel alone

Contributed to surpassing 1,000 subscribers (previously stalled at 230 for two years)

Helped drive overall channel engagement, specifically watch hours!

- Virality isn’t the goal—consistency is. The ability to post regularly, regardless of likes or views, sustained long-term success.

- Repurposing content across platforms maximizes reach & engagement. What performed well on TikTok performed even better on Instagram.

- Authentic storytelling resonates. Sharing my real emotions around my engagement connected deeply with my audience.
