Sarah was spending 3-4 hours every day filming recipe videos. "I'd wake up early to get the perfect lighting, film multiple takes, edit for hours... and then get maybe 2,000 views and 10 new followers," she says. After six months stuck at 10K, she was ready to give up.

TikTok Promote wanted $500 for maybe 10K views. "That felt insane for someone my size. I was making zero money from TikTok."

She decided to try Viryze with a small $250 budget to see if anything would happen. Within the first week, she gained 10,000 real followers.

The momentum kept building. Her videos started getting 50K+ likes instead of 500. Brands started reaching out. Three months later, she hit 100K followers and landed her first major brand deal.

"The brand deal alone paid for Viryze 10 times over. But more importantly, I finally have an audience that actually cares about my content. That's what kept me going."

Marcus was making high-quality tech tutorials, but they were getting lost in the noise. "I'd spend a full day breaking down complex coding concepts into simple 60-second videos. Maybe 1,000 people would see it," he says.

He was stuck at 25K followers for months. The problem wasn't his content—it was that the right people couldn't find him. Most of his views came from people scrolling randomly, not people actually interested in learning tech.

"I tried TikTok Promote but it just showed my videos to random people. I needed to reach developers, CS students, people who actually care about this stuff."

He gave Viryze a shot with a $500 budget. Within two months, he gained 75,000 followers—and these weren't random scrollers.

His videos started hitting 25K+ likes regularly. TikTok featured him in their education hub. He launched an online course and 1,200 people signed up in the first month.

"What Viryze did was find my actual audience. These aren't just followers, they're students. They're the people I was trying to reach all along."

Amy had all the credentials—certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, years of experience. What she didn't have was an audience. "I'd post workout videos with perfect form, amazing production quality... and get 800 views if I was lucky," she says.

She wanted to launch an online fitness program, but you can't sell to 5,000 followers. She needed a community.

"I looked at TikTok Promote but the targeting was so broad. 'People interested in fitness' could mean anything—bodybuilders, yoga moms, CrossFit enthusiasts. I needed people who'd actually buy coaching."

She invested $1,200 over four months with Viryze. The growth was steady but the quality was what shocked her.

She hit 150K followers and decided to launch her fitness app. In the first month, 10,000 people downloaded it. Now she's making over $50K/month in recurring revenue. A major fitness brand reached out for a partnership.

"Viryze didn't just get me followers—they found people who actually needed what I was offering. That's the difference between followers and a business."

Jake was funny. His friends told him so, his girlfriend told him so, even strangers at open mics told him so. But TikTok? TikTok didn't care.

"I'd spend hours writing a sketch, film it 20 times until it was perfect, post it... and get 300 views. Meanwhile, someone doing a basic lip-sync would hit 100K." He was stuck at 8,000 followers for nearly a year.

The problem wasn't the jokes—it was that they weren't reaching the right people. Comedy is subjective. What's hilarious to college kids might not land with parents in their 40s.

He tried Viryze with just $400. "I figured I'd waste more than that on bad dates, might as well try." Within 6 weeks, he gained 60,000 followers. Two of his videos went viral—over 1 million views each.

He got invited to perform at a comedy festival. Entertainment brands started reaching out for partnerships.

"Viryze found my audience when I couldn't. Turns out there are 60,000 people who think like me. I just needed to find them."
