Which idea to post first

Start with the packing or booking checklist: they are useful for any destination. Destination ideas like hidden gems and itineraries work best right after a trip, while the details are fresh.

Before you post

• Keep each slideshow to 6 to 10 slides, the range the the checklist, how-to / tutorial and trend roundup formats run in ViralSlides.
• Export every slide at 1080x1920 (9:16) as a JPEG. TikTok takes up to 35 photos per post (as of October 2026); the slideshow checker confirms a set before you upload it.
• Put the hook between 10% and 40% of the slide height and inside the left 78% of the width, where neither TikTok nor Reels draws its buttons or caption. The safe zone checker shows the exact areas.
• Post at a pace the account can hold. Our scheduler keeps a brand-new account quiet for its first days, ramps from one post a day, and never posts more than 4 times per account in 24 hours. The cadence planner works out yours.
