 And one of the biggest things that I think blew me up that a lot of people sleep on man is that live bro if you have a thousand plus followers on tiktok go live bro so the way it works is on your for you page right when you scroll through the for you obviously it has the video likes comments blah blah blah but it shows your profile picture if you're currently on live while somebody is while you're on somebody's for you page if they tap your avi which it has the circle around it to let you know you instantly follow them you instantly follow them and you go into their lives so i'm looking at my video it start going 60 70 100 k this is in like a matter of hours i'm not saying being somebody tapping into your live automatically makes tiktok tiktok will automatically make them follow you so if you go to my profile so when somebody's on live their avi gets like a red ring don't quote me on the color but they get i want to say it's right it's like a red ring around it and it'll stay like live i don't have a thin strip of a banner across the avi says live if you go to my profile while i'm on live and click the live you just go to my live however if i'm on your for you page and you click my avi follow me and you go to my live for whatever reason that's just how it's set up so okay and i heard that and like i said like i said i have a little bit more answer i want to say i want to say i'm like 99% sure if it's not like that now i don't know but i'm 99% sure but this is my thought process with that being said like i said i've been to the headquarters i've asked the questions about the algorithm and all this because i'm used to trying to market my own music so i'm like i'm i've asked the questions so i'm like okay i finally got one i've been doing re i'm on youtube i'm watching you and cori i'm watching uh gary v i'm doing all the research just haven't been able to get the opportunity but i got all the dang knowledge so i finally go i'm like bro how do i maximize this because the thing with stuff that goes viral is it to be viral today and dead in a week so i'm like i need to maximize this moment so knowing that the for you page i'm i'm seeing my views go up so i'm probably on a lot of people for you page also check your analytics this is really important you can see the percentage of it'll tell you like oh this video with the million views i want to say on my analytics it was like 94% of my views came from the for you page so i'm looking at the analytics like okay i'm popping up on people's for you if i go live my avi is going to be highlighted and if they click it off the for you which i'm on a lot of people's for you's right now which i know because of the analytics they'll instantly follow me and then i pretty much get a second chance because if you saw my video if you don't mean nothing if they don't follow you like and stick around so i'm like if they saw my video and were kind of interested but probably would have left if i'm on live i get a second chance to earn a follower earn a like or earn a likeness or whatever the case is i'm alive i'm just you i'm just being me you know i feel like i got a pretty strong personality i'm like what's going on man and i want to say real quick i was like hopped on live didn't know what to expect i have tried live three times like i said prior prior to this to him going to have 3k followers you need 1000 followers last year i had tested it because i know you can get paid through donations and whatnot and gifts on the live i tried it got nobody in my live with 3k followers couldn't get a single person but i'm on everybody's for you page like i said if you're going live it shows it so i go on live i got like 50 people up the back i'm like okay i got an audience i know it's i'm an artist you know so like i know how to act in front of the crowd i'm putting on a show and a big thing too is like i'm telling and when you're going alive people can share your lives so say you get 50 people in your live i'm telling everybody what's going on man i appreciate y'all y'all check out the video if y'all didn't check out the video please uh because i know they followed me if they found me on the for you page so they can easily navigate back to my page please go check out my video come back in the live and if you tell me done i'll shot you out on the live because the big thing with tiktok is there's this big tiktok famous and like a lot of people that i've noticed in my live i can't speak for everybody else's audience but everybody has been coming to my live is like hey bro can you shout me out can you say my name i do youtube i do they want to be you know i'm saying they they trying to get their feet off the ground too um so i kind of tapped into that you know finesse or however you want to call them i bet i got y'all if you shared a lot everybody asked me can you shout me out can you shout me out at first i was announcing everybody joining over like 50 people kind of quick like i'll say within the first two minutes i have 50 people so i'm like what's going on man welcome man welcome and calling out their names because they like that that's what's gonna make them stick around you call out their name you acknowledge them you know they talking me i'm talking back next thing i know you know it's like 200 people in there i'm like okay like hey we got a crowd man 200 people to show like i shoot i'm basically that's a performance you know at that point in front of 200 people live so i'm like the show man let's do it then so you know i started getting excited like i'm like okay for show um so i'm telling them shed a live and like one thing that i did real early is i told them so i started this thing it's called the notx mafia because i remember the back going back to dakota alive they outside that bathroom he told me that he had like a t-shirt so when he would do lives if you donate to his live he'll write your name on the shirt real small and when the shirt gets filled up with names bro he must have had thousands of names or however many hundreds of names on there when the shirt gets full he gives it to somebody i don't i forget how he said he chooses who he gives to be given so he's like bro the biggest things they want to feel included he was like when you're able to go on live stream and get people in your live bro just make them feel included and carry that out he's like and bro they'll take you wherever you want to go because he has like two million dollars so i'm like bet say less so i'm keeping this in mind like i said i kind of i kind of i want to say not that i had a chico but i just had the knowledge but i just couldn't get the platform so the second i like i said my 70th video man i finally got it i'm like well i i know what to do with it like i already know what time it is so like i said i'm like hey y'all check it out uh i think somebody asked me my because my all my social media is notx ashmat and he was like oh because he seemed like i got a a poster in the back from a show i did in santa anna he's like oh you do music i was like yeah bro he's like oh what do i search you up as on spotify is it notx ashmat i was like no notx ashmat is my social media ashmat which is my government name is how you find me on spotify apple music etc he's like okay he's like what is notx ashmat and you know i'm just talking to him alive by this time might have been 400 500 people in my live right now i'm going crazy um i'm like oh uh i was like i don't really know but like like i said i'm looking at the numbers 400 people in my head i don't know i just thought it sounded cool i might have had that name since like high school i'm 22 been out of high school for some years but i'm like i gotta get these people a show so i'm like notx ashmat is it's it's a family man what you're talking about i'm like we the notx mafia i was like bro y'all should change your i got 500 people in here y'all should change your name to notx what i was like i forget his name whatever his name i'm like bro you should change your name to notx blah blah blah whatever his name was and then everybody saw like oh what what areas are going crazy in the cotton notx mafia hashtag notx mafia because a lot of them are young and and they just they saw supportive it's crazy bro like it's 500 people in my live bro and they just love they all they know me from is a is a snake from dolly tree video bro but i'm like the man you can tell me nothing bro and within that life i was on live super but for five hours the first time everyone on live from live or first time ever had views of my five five hours bro has 79k has 79k viewers the whole time because i went on live in the middle of my video going viral the biggest piece of advice i can give you is if you hit on one bro go on live in the middle of the validity and i just learned that word i don't even know if i pronounced it right in the middle of the validity i see my virality virality i've got me looking ignorant uh i appreciate you know hey man people make up words all the time bro on that shit it is what it is right right but like i said i'm like bro this thing going crazy i'm getting all these views my count going live man just in case y'all didn't like the video like give me a second chance so they ain't like i said we get up to 1k viewers first time on live or i've been on live before but didn't get no viewers when i like like two minutes in it it didn't have nobody i'm putting on a show like i said not ex mafia i started banging it man like it's the set i'm like not ex mafia change y'all name next thing i know first dude changes his name comes back in the live unless her name was olivia i'll probably never forget her name as long as i die because this is like engraved in my brain like these last three days have been a dream and i'm not even nowhere near where i need to be and it's just crazy many ways um not ex olivia was the first one she had a longer name but it was not ex olivia some some so i started gassing like yo shout out not ex olivia everybody i got like a thousand people in my life everybody's rob not ex olivia in the chat start going crazy might have been 30 40 people not ex olivia not ex olivia and then everybody else starts seeing that they start feeling left out so this is where shout out the corda lavi again it's that entitlement man that's gonna pull them in and keep them because this one thing to have a viral video it's another thing to stick them around like and i feel like that not ex mafia and it's i'm only three days in i'm still trying to figure out how to how to run with this this storyline or this this family this grouping whatever you can almost like my own beehive you know obviously on a waste minuscule level but that's the goal it's not funny and cool so next thing i know people leaving and joining back in not ex blah blah blah join the chat not ex so and so join the chat so brah bless out the whiteboard i got a screenshot i i i got a screenshot i bust out the whiteboard i'm like hey is the whiteboard is in your room i don't i don't know what i got on there right now but this is oh yeah look it's my not this is my this is my my live stream lightboard so not ex mafia and then this is something this is a whole different system i have started so when they donate if you if you donate a gift to my live i'll write your name on the board because once again they just feel everybody in the live if i got i got 500 people on my live they feel special they name on the board all you gotta do is donate name on the board you donate multiple times i put a star we play games that's a big live there's like a live stream culture on tiktok almost it's like the emoji game i'll say in emoji and they put me on game because they probably going to their favorite tiktok put me on go ahead and play the emoji game i'm like bro what's the emoji game saying emoji the first person to comment whatever emoji you say when so i'm like okay upside down smiley face dirty upside down smiley face first person shout him out that you know saying stuff like that so that live stream is so powerful i feel like it's so underutilized but going back to what i was saying so this was something i did last night i've been trying to live stream every day today i think it's the first day i missed my video pop four days ago so i had a four day run got tied up with some stuff today was cooking up earlier but never mind that like i said the first time i ever did it i was like nut ex ashima we're gonna lay down some ground rules mind you at this point i went from 1k to 2k 2.2k viewers on my live stream which is crazy i done joined live streams of friends that i know that have 300k on tiktok and they ain't hit 2k but like i said i did it in the middle of my video going viral which is so important um 2.2 viewers and i screenshotted it like i'll probably never delete that every iphone i ever get i'll probably transfer that picture over till i die um but yeah so nut ex mafia and i said you know what we're gonna set some ground rules i was like because y'all changing your name to nut ex blah blah blah isn't enough i was like let me tell y'all what this include if you change your name so i wrote it on the board i put nut ex ashima in big letters i said step one how to join the nut ex mafia step one change your name to nut ex and i put in parentheses insert name here so the nut ex shows that you're included in the movement the second half is up to you because i want y'all to be creative too i let them know i said i know a lot of y'all do youtube a lot of y'all do music we can all talk about this right now though let me give y'all the ground rules y'all help me blow up and i'm gonna remember y'all i'm telling people i'm telling people i might do a live today i'll jump on live tomorrow i see like i said nut ex olivia's engraved on my brain every time she joined my life she get mad love but she was the first person to change her name and i'll never forget that i know she probably feel crazy and i'm not even nobody yet i'm nobody that i want to be yet i'm still working to where i need to be so it's like i said that inclusiveness so i put the first step change your name to nut ex second half of the name is up to you step two i said in all caps you must be early and must be early meaning and i broke down every step meaning when i post something i need y'all to comment on it i need y'all to like it and i need y'all to share it because the way the tiktok algorithm is set up is almost like a point system shares carry a certain amount of weight which will which will put you to more for you pages or so i'm told i'm not there's no there's no 100 on this but to my understanding the amount every time somebody shares a video you get x amount of points i'm not sure if that's the right word and that can launch you that can launch you want to maybe x amount or more for you pages depending how you perform on the on the amount of for you pages that you have now been given again can either push you down or push you up so it's like a it's like a trickle down effect and i want to say they say share from when i from what i've heard shares comments or second and likes at the bottom which obviously all them it's the it's the the mix of all of them that will boost you but like i said to my understanding that's what it is so i'm telling them you got to be early rule number two the night x month you have to be early definitely comment on every post you have to like i said do not just change your name i need you to support me so i can support you and that was the biggest thing is i let i feel like you support me i'll support you i said go change your name right now come back in y'all getting shout out so it like i said it's 2000 people on the live so might have been like 30 40 people instantly like change the name shout out to shout out to shout out to everybody wants to shout out they doing it and and from there i think the third step was um what was the third step i want to say the third step was i don't even remember what the third step was i'm not gonna lie to you but anyways i had set the rule so i made it more serious than it really was put like a story behind it the whole night x mafia and then in the thing now fast forward into now like i said i get off the live i didn't even know how many viewers i had i was on it for five hours when i got off the live i was dead tired had been on for five hours i still had 2000 viewers when i got off and in my head i'm thinking like dang bro if i end this live i might never get this many people watching me at one time live again but i'm like i'm dead tired i'm like i'm putting on i don't i don't perform in a 45 minute set and not been this tired i'm like bro why am i this tired right now but i was like whatever i'm a get off you know whatever i'm tired get off go to sleep or not even go to sleep let me start get off the live when you in the live it tells you how many viewers you gained during your live and it tells you how many viewers you had i had 79 000 total viewers during that live and i had gained 2.2000 followers and in my mind last time i checked i had like maybe 4 000 followers i had went from 3 000 to 4 000 by the time i hopped on live but i get off the live i'm at 15k like i almost i was ready to scream like i'm like bro what 15k i was alive for five hours so you figure i probably dropped the video maybe like an hour so before so my video had been anywhere from like four to six hours don't quote me out and i'm at 15k followers from 3 000 i don't even remember how many views the video is that it might have been like when i went to sleep the video might have been at like 120k because i remember creeping up on like i said the biggest video i had before this was my fifth video which i did 140k uh uber uh uber skip so i'm like all right but if i wake up on my past 140k that's all i need bro i go to sleep wake up i'm at like 300k i was like bro what is going on wake up my followers is that like 30k i was like bro this is crazy i said i gotta come back with something like because that was another thing when i got that uber video i almost like i fumbled the bag on that one and this is why i almost say i'm more happy that my viral video or viral i don't even know what's viral how these days is a million five millions my i don't know right it's just regular language now it's the network
