Avi Agarwal's brilliant recipe for success

1. Utilize unique skills

Avi's journey in content creation started at the prime of TikTok's popularity. His content centered around magic and comedy, which instantly made him viral.

The content creator admits that the competition is tough, especially with other magicians and comedians releasing the same content as his, but that did not stop Avi from standing out. He used his Master's Degree in Acting to his advantage, which gave him the edge and catchy approach to what has already been a common kind of content. According to Avi, maximizing unique skills is a vital key to success.

"I feel like my MFA in acting has trained me to be so comfortable in front of the camera that making content comes naturally to me. I am also able to use my filmmaking skills and knowledge to make my content stand out as I can edit and color correct my own content, which definitely gives it a way more personal touch. So basically, having knowledge and experience in the film world has made it easier for me," he shares.

2. Keep updated with how algorithms work

Doing great content is one thing, but learning how algorithms work can make a content creator succeed better than everyone else. Avi reiterates that the videos should meet the algorithm's requirements reach a wide audience, get shared often, and be viewed repeatedly. More views equate to higher monetization.

Avi's magic tricks played to the algorithm's advantage. People found it interesting enough to share with their friends and watched it repeatedly enough to learn how he did the trick. It was not surprising that his magic trick videos got over 40 million views within a short period of time.

3. Be versatile

Aside from favorable algorithms, Avi also shares that the content creator's readiness to make various kinds of videos, especially funny ones, is also vital to success.

"For example, Will Smith's slap at the Oscar. Influencers started making a parody of this incident, and whoever came out first cashed on the most, and then the rest of the crowd followed. Some of these went viral. Constantly coming out with current topic content is very important," Avi expounds.

Passion above all else

Avi says the desire to make people happy with his content is his key to success. "I just want to bring out content that people enjoy. I just want to make sure I can make people smile and be able to entertain them right on their phones, making them forget their problems and worries even for a little while," Avi proudly shares.
