James Ward's Faceless Journey to TikTok Success with OSSA.AI

Meet James Ward, the visionary behind @nativeamerican.history on TikTok—a faceless page that has rapidly grown to over 28,000 followers and amassed more than 6 million views. Passionate about Native American history and culture, James leveraged the power of OSSA.AI to share his message without ever showing his face. His story is a testament to what's possible when innovation meets purpose.

How James Discovered OSSA.AI

James's journey began with a simple desire on social media: to educate others about the best AI tools in the world. But he encountered a problem on his personal TikTok account with over 28,000 followers—time constraints and the reluctance to appear on camera every single day.

This challenge was personal to him. Determined to diversify his income streams and not rely solely on his personal brand through the TikTok Creator Rewards Program, James began searching for AI tools to create faceless content.

Little did he know, OSSA.AI would change the entire direction of his life—you'll see what we mean in a bit.

But first, some background...

Earlier this year, our CEO, Cole Gonzales, was personally reaching out to large content creators via direct messages, introducing them to the new platform he had developed after over a year and a half of dedicated work—OSSA.AI.

James was immediately receptive to Cole's tenacity and hustle. Recognizing the potential in whatever OSSA.AI was, he decided to take a closer look. This led to a Google Meet session with Cole and his Co-Founder, Brennan Duncan, where James shared his vision and challenges.

"I wanted to build something legitimate that had an audience we could serve, but I just didn't have the time or desire to be on camera," James shared during the conversation.

James, someone who prided himself on knowing the best AI tools for content creators, was shocked to find that OSSA.AI was not more popular.

He told the Co-Founders, "What you guys are building is special. You don't have competitors. You are in your own category."

Hearing this affirmation from someone else after years of hard work—investing their life savings and declining venture capital to maintain their vision—gave Cole and Brennan the fuel they needed to push OSSA.AI forward.

And James wasn't wrong, after just 30 days of creating content with OSSA.AI, he garned over 2 million views - a feat that had never been acccomplished in the history of social media with AI-generated content that was practically unaltered from download to upload on TikTok.

James first got 800 views, more than what he achieved using other tools like Invideo.io and other competitors that we're able to solve his problem. But it was the second video he posted that changed everything, garnering over 27,000 views.

What is most impressive is that this achieved in the early stages of OSSA.AI, and since the creation of James account, the platform has made significant strives in terms of video quality, customization, and features that directly tie to higher potential engagement on social media.

As you can see below, he was able to achieve 10,000+ views on 3 of his first 9 videos.

So what did do from here?

He kept posting every single day, without fail – eventually scaling up to 3 posts a day.

From there, the only way for James was up.

James' Strategies for TikTok Growth

James attributes his TikTok success with OSSA.AI to several key strategies:

• OSSA.AI Academy: James join our free Skool community and consumed free faceless resources provided by our CEO, Cole Gonzales.
• Target Audience: The most important piece of advice that James gives other OSSA.AI users to "go after an audience". Before you post your first video, you need to know who you want to consume your content.

• Audience Interaction: He encouraged discussions and wasn't afraid to delve into thought-provoking topics, which sparked large amounts of engagement on his TikTok account (likes, comments, saves, shares).
• Utilizing AI Tools: OSSA.AI enabled James to streamline his workflow, along with this free GPT for writing scripts. Allowing him to focus on content quality, engaging with his audience, and analyzing his past videos as opposed to spending hours on copywriting and editing videos.

"We're just leading with value about something to do with Native Americans. It's worked out great for us," James noted.

Building a Strong TikTok Community

James's content didn't just attract views; it sparked meaningful conversations.

Why do people like, comment, share, or save a video?

Because it has some sort of emotional impact on them. If someone comments on a video, it means that you've successfully struck a chord in that person, convincing them that their opinion needs to be heard.

James is a master at crafting scripts and turning them into videos with OSSA.AI that strike that chord in his target audience. One of his videos on the Battle of Little Bighorn ignited intense discussions, highlighting differing perspectives and engaging his audience on a deeper level.
