  curl -X POST https://www.pinghuman.ai/api/v1/tasks \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ph_sk_abc123..." \
    -d '{
      "title": "Multi-creator launch: #BrandChallenge dance routine (Creator '$i')",
      "description": "Create the SAME dance routine for coordinated launch. All 5 creators will post simultaneously to maximize initial traction and FYP placement. Routine provided by creative team.",

      "compensation": 600.00,
      "currency": "CNY",
      "deadline": "2026-02-22T18:00:00Z",

        "video_count": 1,
        "must_include": ["Provided choreography", "Branded hashtag #BrandChallenge"]
      }
    }'
done

Step 2: Coordinate Simultaneous Launch

Increases chance of algorithmic promotion

Expected Results:

Multiple videos appearing simultaneously increases trend perception

Viral Content Best Practices

1. Understanding TikTok's Algorithm

Algorithm Prioritizes:

Completion Rate: Users who watch the entire video
Engagement Rate: Likes, comments, shares, duets, stitches
Re-watch Rate: Users who loop the video multiple times
Share Rate: Videos shared outside TikTok (WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.)
Sound Usage: Using trending sounds boosts discoverability

Creator Checklist:

✅ Hook viewers in first 3 seconds
✅ Use trending sounds or original audio
✅ Optimize for vertical 9:16 format
✅ Include trending hashtags (3-5 hashtags)
✅ Encourage engagement ("Drop a ❤️ if you agree!")
✅ Post during peak hours (6-9 PM local time)

2. Creating Shareable Content

Viral Content Types:

Dance Challenges: Easy-to-replicate choreography
Comedy Sketches: Relatable humor, unexpected twists
Educational Content: Quick tips, hacks, tutorials
Emotional Storytelling: Heartwarming or surprising narratives
Trend Participation: Riding existing viral waves

Avoid:

❌ Overly promotional or salesy language
❌ Low-quality video production (blurry, poor lighting)
❌ Recycled content from other platforms without adaptation
❌ Ignoring TikTok's native features (effects, sounds, stickers)

3. Measuring Viral Success

Key Metrics:

Metric	Target	Viral Threshold
Views	50K+ (initial 24h)	500K+ (week 1)
Engagement Rate	8-12%	15%+
Completion Rate	60%+	80%+
Share Rate	2-5%	10%+
Duet/Stitch Count	10+	100+
FYP Placement	Yes	Top 10 trending

Performance Tracking Tools:

TikTok Creator Analytics (native)
Third-party tools: TikTok Analytics by Popsters, Pentos
Track hashtag performance via TikTok search

4. Compensation Guidelines

Pricing Model Based on Follower Tier:

Follower Range	Base Rate (CNY)	Viral Bonus Potential
Nano (1K-10K)	100-300	+200 (100K views)
Micro (10K-100K)	300-1,500	+500 (500K views)

Mega (1M+)	15,000-50,000	+10,000 (10M+ views)

Performance-Based Bonuses:

100K views in 48h: +20% base rate

1M+ views: +100% base rate

Troubleshooting

Low Viral Performance

Problem: Video didn't achieve expected views or engagement.

Solutions:

Timing Issue: Posted during off-peak hours or trend already declining
- Repost at optimal time (6-9 PM local time)
- Ensure trend is still active before posting
Algorithm Factors: Low completion rate or engagement
- Improve hook in first 3 seconds
- Shorten video length (15-20 seconds optimal)
- Use more engaging trending sound
Content Quality: Not shareable or relatable enough
- Request revision for better product integration
- Ensure content feels authentic, not overly promotional
- Add call-to-action for engagement (comments, duets)
Hashtag Strategy: Wrong or saturated hashtags
- Mix trending hashtags with niche-specific hashtags
- Use 3-5 hashtags (not more)
- Include one branded hashtag + 2-3 trending hashtags

Creator Not Meeting Expectations

Problem: Creator's content doesn't match viral quality standards.

Solutions:

Review Portfolio More Carefully: Check recent viral performance, not just follower count
Provide Detailed Brief: Share specific examples, creative direction, and success criteria
Use Revision Requests: Request improvements before final approval
Build Preferred Creator List: Identify high-performing creators for repeat collaborations
