How We Built an Online Community With 100K+ Views (The NorthNetwork Story)
NorthNetwork started as a small console RP project — but within one year, our content across TikTok, YouTube, and livestreams reached over 100,000 views. This growth didn’t come from luck. It came from consistent short-form content, strong founder involvement, and each platform delivering something different to the community. Here’s how each account contributed to building one of the fastest-growing PS5 RP networks.
TikTok: The Core of Our Growth
TikTok was the engine that brought new eyes to NorthNetwork. Each founder ran their own style of content, helping us reach different audiences at once.

Our main TikTok focuses on showcasing NorthNetwork’s identity.

@northnetworkmpc — Run by MPC Founder: Scot
Originally named @gtampc, this account showcases the production side of NorthNetwork.
Unlike the other TikTok accounts, Scot uses Rockstar Editor to create:
Cinematic clips
Smooth camera shots
Showcase edits
Branding videos for MPC
Visual promotion for server builds & websites
This polished style helps MPC attract creators, server owners, and members who appreciate high-quality visuals.
YouTube: Turning TikToks Into High-Performing Shorts
YouTube @NorthNetworkRP
Our YouTube channel found success through a simple strategy:
Re-uploading TikToks as YouTube Shorts.
These Shorts consistently hit 15,000+ views, giving us a strong audience outside TikTok and bringing more players into NorthNetwork.
Why this works:
Shorts reach global viewers
Algorithm pushes fast-paced RP videos
Content is already edited for TikTok
Minimal extra effort = maximum reach
Viewers often click straight through to join Discord
We don’t need long videos to grow — quick, engaging RP moments drive NorthNetwork’s YouTube visibility.
Live Streams: Direct Community Conversion
Whether on TikTok LIVE or Twitch, livestreams became one of our strongest tools for growth.
Livestreams allow players to:
See NNRP’s RP structure in real time
Ask questions
Watch pursuits and scenes unfold
Join the Discord instantly
Many of our most active members joined after watching a live stream.
What We Learned Reaching 100K+ Views
Across all platforms, several patterns stood out:
Short-form content dominates console RP
Cinematic videos help with branding
Consistency beats perfection
Lives convert viewers into members quickly
Different founders = different audiences
Re-uploading content multiplies reach
NorthNetwork grew because every founder contributed their style — and no two accounts looked the same.
