Vugola · B2C · AI video clipping tool

Copy competitors' viral short-video formats exactly, filmed with your own face

New Instagram account hit 10.8K followers; MRR grew from ~$3K to ~$11K

How: Vugola's founder spent a day finding competitors' viral Instagram formats, then matched them to the letter on a new account linked to ManyChat: same audio, transitions, 3-4 second hook, demo and CTA length.

“So, I would record like my own face, and then I would just leverage the same exact tech stack that they used, the same audio that they used, the same like transitions, how long, so like is the hook 3 seconds, 4 seconds, how long is their demo, how long is their CTA.”

Vugola · B2C · AI video clipping tool

Post 3-6 videos a day, reusing the same demo and changing only the hook

Takes 30-45 minutes a day; videos reached up to 132K views

How: Vugola batches 3-6 Instagram videos daily with an identical demo and CTA, swapping only the hook and sound, and repeats a format that goes viral until it saturates.

“because the truth thing about these viral UGC formats is the only thing that you have to change is your hook and then the sound. Your demo and your CTA can literally be the exactly the same.”
