How to create, post and monetize Bouncing Ball Videos on Social Media!

Ready to take your TikTok game to the next level? Today, we’ll walk you through an entertaining and practical guide on how to create, edit, and post your very own Bouncing Ball video across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. The best part? With consistency and a little strategy, you can meet each platform's monetization requirements. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Screen Recording the Simulation with OBS Studio

First things first, we need to capture that bouncing ball simulation. Here’s how you can do that using OBS Studio:

  1. Download & Install OBS Studio: If you haven’t already, head over to OBS Studio's website and install the software (it’s free!).

  2. Set Up Your Scene: Open OBS Studio and click on the “+” in the Sources box. Select Display Capture or Window Capture depending on where your bouncing ball sim is running. Name it whatever you like!

  3. Adjust the Settings: Go to SettingsVideo and select the proper resolution (1080p is a solid choice for TikTok). Also, adjust your frame rate to 30fps for smoother playback.

  4. Start Recording: Once your screen is all set, hit the Start Recording button. Let the ball bounce around, and once you’re satisfied, hit Stop Recording. Your video will be saved automatically!

Step 2: Editing in CapCut

Now that we’ve got the footage, it’s time to trim, cut, and polish. CapCut is your best friend for this! It’s free, intuitive, and perfect for creating content-ready videos.

  1. Import Your Recording: Open CapCut and tap on New Project. Import the OBS recording you just saved.

  2. Trim the Unnecessary Parts: Drag the video to the timeline and use the cut tool to snip out the bits you don’t need. Focus on keeping only the bouncing ball simulation—get rid of everything else!

  3. Add Text: Go to Text and tap Add Text. Make your text snappy, fun, and relevant to the audience. Something like “Can this ball ever stop bouncing? 🤯” works great!

  4. Customize Your Text: Play around with fonts, colors, and animations to give your video a professional edge. Make sure the text fits well and doesn’t cover the action too much.

  5. Export the Final Video: Once you’re happy with the edits, tap on Export and choose a high resolution. For TikTok and Instagram, 1080x1920 is the perfect vertical resolution.

Step 3: Posting to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels

Time to share your masterpiece with the world!

  1. TikTok: Open the app, tap +, and upload your video. Add a catchy caption, sprinkle some hashtags (#bouncingball, #satisfyingvideos), and hit Post.

    🔥 Pro Tip: Use trending sounds to boost visibility on TikTok.

  2. YouTube Shorts: Head to YouTube, tap +, and select Create a Short. Make sure to use engaging titles and descriptions. Something like "The Most Satisfying Bouncing Ball You’ll See All Day!" will attract attention.

    💡 Pro Tip: Use tags and hashtags specific to your niche to increase discoverability.

  3. Instagram Reels: Open Instagram, tap the +, and upload the video under Reels. Use eye-catching hashtags like #oddlysatisfying or #viralvideo. Make sure your cover photo is appealing since that’s the first thing people will see!

Step 4: Monetizing Your Content

Now let’s get to the juicy part: monetizing!

  • TikTok: To start making money on TikTok, you’ll need at least 10,000 followers and 100,000 video views in the past 30 days to be eligible for the TikTok Creator Fund. Keep posting consistently to reach that goal!

  • YouTube Shorts: To monetize on YouTube, you’ll need 1,000 subscribers and 10 million views on your Shorts over the last 90 days. Don’t be discouraged if it takes time—focus on high-quality and entertaining content.

  • Instagram: Instagram requires you to have at least 10,000 followers for certain monetization tools like the Instagram Creator Fund. You can also earn money through brand partnerships and affiliate marketing once your account gains traction.

Wrap-Up: Keep Posting and Optimizing

Consistency is key! With these easy steps, you’re now fully equipped to post eye-catching bouncing ball videos on multiple platforms. Keep an eye on trends, engage with your followers, and optimize your videos over time to meet the platforms' monetization requirements. The more you post, the better your chances of going viral—and that’s when the real fun (and revenue) begins!
