@ananyapaliwal i haven't opened my wealthsimple app in 47 days and that was the whole plan

original audio · ananya paliwal

concept

Reduce first-week funding drop-off by replacing the "app review" format with a creator's real 30+ day auto-invest experiment. Proof over pitch.

insight

New investors don't stall on picking stocks. They stall on the daily decision to manually move money, which feels like homework. Automation content lands as relief ("i don't have to think about this"), not discipline.

storyboard

Direct-to-camera, bad bedroom lighting, no ring-light energy: "day 1: i set this to auto-deposit $25 and made myself forget the password," 0-3s
Real screen recording, thumb visible, actually tapping through the auto-invest setup, plain-language voiceover, no jargon
Day 47: phone notification screenshot of balance growth, unscripted surprised laugh reaction, caption "i genuinely forgot this was happening"

hook

day 47 update: i still haven't checked. see what happened →

usage

Post as organic creator UGC first; once it holds past the 3-second mark, run as a Spark Ad off the creator's own handle. Non-Spark finance ads underperform badly on TikTok.

success metric

3-second hold rate and comment density; account funding rate within 7 days of install; watch-through to the day-47 payoff as a proxy for trust transfer.
