How To Make VIRAL Hopecore TikTok Videos (NEW Niche)

Howto & Style

Introduction

In this article, I will walk you through an untapped TikTok niche known as "hopecore" that my community has been exploring for the past two months. We've seen varying levels of success, with some videos racking up millions of views! The best part? Creating these videos requires minimal effort. If you're new to TikTok, you might know that many popular niches require significant time and editing skills, often overwhelming beginners. But fear not! All you need to dive into this niche is your phone and, perhaps, a brief stroll outside.

Introduction to Hopecore Videos

If you're short on cash or just looking to experiment with making money on TikTok without any investment, this article is for you. Before we go any further, let me clarify what makes this niche unique. At present, there aren’t many TikTok pages exploiting this style, making it relatively untapped. As we advance, I’ll show you examples from various niches to demonstrate how adaptable this content style is.

Let’s take a glance at some examples. I’ll share a clip that garnered 1.3 million views, and it’s clear that this kind of content is accessible to anyone. Here’s what you’ll need to create your own hopecore videos:

  1. A phone with a decent camera: An iPhone is recommended but any phone with a good camera will do.
  2. Basic editing software: CapCut can work wonders for mobile editing.
  3. A creative mindset: If you lack original ideas, some free time for research will serve you well.

Getting Started with Hopecore Videos

Choosing Your Footage

The first step to creating your hopecore videos is gathering footage. While you can use stock videos, I advise recording original content. This not only avoids copyright issues, but it also ensures that your videos are authentic.

For these niche videos, the background footage typically consists of nature or cityscapes. The aesthetic is generally dark, with minimal light sources that create a moody atmosphere, although daytime footage works too. I recommend routinely recording clips wherever you go—parks, streets, interesting urban settings—to build a personal library of unique content.

Camera Settings for Optimal Footage

When you're ready to film, tweak your camera settings for the best results:

  1. Open Camera settings on your iPhone.
  2. Adjust your resolution to 4K at 60 FPS for high quality.
  3. Enable HDR video for enhanced quality.

Recording Tips

When filming:

  • Adjust exposure to avoid over-bright footage.
  • Keep your shots smooth by maintaining a steady hand or using some stabilization methods in post-editing.

Finding Your Quotes

To complete your hopecore videos, you’ll need captions or quotes. Here are three effective methods for finding them:

  1. Replicate Viral Captions: Browse through popular TikTok videos and take inspiration or directly borrow captions.
  2. Text-Based Platforms: Use Reddit, Twitter, or similar platforms to find impactful quotes and life advice.
  3. Leverage AI: Utilize AI tools to generate new quotes based on trends in your research. Tools like ChatGPT can assist in generating variations of successful quotes.

Editing Your Video

Once you have your footage and text ready, it's time to put everything together. While I usually use DaVinci Resolve, we’ll cover how to edit in CapCut, which is accessible to everyone.

  1. Start a new project and import your footage.
  2. Adjust brightness and filters to create that dark look.
  3. Overlay your chosen quote.
  4. Export your final video.

Monetizing Your Hopecore Videos

To make money with these videos, you’ll need a monetized TikTok account. This can involve:

  • Growing your account to 10,000 followers for monetization eligibility.
  • Purchasing an already monetized TikTok account (check out the previous video I made for insights).

Success stories abound. For example, a community member named Nila generated over 1,100 euros with just 3,000 followers using this very method.

Conclusion

If you've made it this far, congratulations! You now have an effective strategy to create viral TikTok content in the hopecore niche. Whether you want to establish a personal brand, break into fitness, or explore any other area, this model is flexible and evergreen.
