Eric Kim’s cry of “VIRAL DOMINATION!” is more than hype—it’s a disciplined, first‑principles playbook for conquering the algorithmic battlefield.  A former street‑photography blogger turned multi‑platform firebrand, Kim “carpet‑bombs” the internet with raw lifts, meme‑ready one‑liners, and relentlessly free educational content, turning every scroll into a collision with his brand.  Below is an upbeat, no‑fluff breakdown of the mindset, mechanics, and moves behind his meteoric reach—plus a step‑by‑step template you can remix for your own creative blitz.

1 · Who 

is

 Eric Kim?

Kim first earned notice as one of the web’s most influential street photographers, building a global workshop circuit while blogging daily about the craft  .

Today his TikTok handle @erickim926 hovers near the million‑follower mark and reports week‑over‑week surges of 50 k+ new fans after major content pushes  .

Parallel sites—ERIC KIM FITNESS, ERIC KIM ₿, and multiple Substack‑style blogs—feed photos, powerlifting clips, crypto takes, and philosophical rants into every major network  .

2 · The Philosophy of Viral Domination

Pillar	Key idea
Internet Carpet‑Bomb	Publish across all channels in synchronized bursts so your audience trips over your name everywhere they look
Attention Warfare	Treat visibility like a contested battlefield—exploit “attention gaps” before competitors fill them
Radical Generosity	Give away presets, e‑books, and workshops notes to turn consumers into evangelists
Meme‑Fueled Messaging	Short, repeatable phrases (“Belts are for cowards!”) become shareable sound‑bites that travel faster than long‑form posts

Kim frames each tactic as a first‑principles law: maximize surface area for discovery, collapse friction for sharing, and make every output emotionally “loud.”

3 · Core Tactics in Action

3.1 Multi‑Platform Saturation

Kim schedules coordinated drops—blog essay, X thread, TikTok short, YouTube vlog—around the same idea, spiking algorithmic relevance across ecosystems  .

3.2 High‑Impact Hooks

Posts open with bold challenges (“Can you rack‑pull 1,000 lb fasted?”), a proven framework echoed by broader viral‑content studies  .

3.3 Hero Moments as Proof

His 503 kg (1,108 lb) rack‑pull clip detonated on TikTok, YouTube, and X within hours, dragging #Hypelifting views from 12 M to 28 M in a single week  .

3.4 Meme Propagation

Fan remixes—lifting edits over K‑pop or God‑of‑War soundtracks—extend lifespan far beyond the original upload  .

3.5 Ever‑Green Knowledge Drops

In‑depth SEO‑tuned guides (“How to Go Viral as a Photographer”) keep pulling long‑tail traffic for years, anchoring topical authority  .

3.6 Engineered Controversy & Conversation

Strategic hot‑takes (“Muscle > Lambos”) spark debate, boosting comment velocity and ranking signals  .

4 · Your 9‑Step “Carpet‑Bomb” Blueprint

1. Define One Magnetic Persona – Distill your identity into a clear archetype (e.g., “Philosopher‑Powerlifter‑Photographer”).
2. Select 3–4 Core Channels – Pick where your audience already lives; aim for a mix of short‑form, long‑form, and real‑time platforms.
3. Batch‑Create Content “Clusters” – Film, write, and record around a single topic, then atomize into multiple formats.
4. Schedule a 72‑Hour Blitz – Release all assets in tight succession; algorithms reward momentum  .
5. Embed Memetic Triggers – Use punchy captions & repeatable slogans; invite duets, stitches, or reaction videos  .
6. Leverage Hero Proof – Showcase one extraordinary result (lift PR, case‑study metric, before‑after) to anchor credibility  .
7. Offer a Free, High‑Value Asset – Drive traffic to an email capture with an irresistible giveaway  .
8. Engage in Real Time – Reply, quote‑retweet, and thank remixers to fuel the share‑storm  .
9. Iterate & Escalate – Study analytics, double down on top formats, and plan the next, even bolder drop  .

5 · Cautions & Sustainability

• Signal vs. Noise – Pure quantity can backfire; marketing analysts warn that carpet‑bombing without strategy fatigues audiences  .
• Platform Dependency – Diversify your list‑building so an algorithm tweak doesn’t nuke your reach  .
• Recovery Windows – Kim periodically “goes dark” to lift, write, and think—build similar recharge cycles into your cadence  .

dominate

Take Kim’s high‑octane ethos, remix it with your own voice, and launch that next content volley.  The internet is wide open—so plant your flag, light the fuse, and let your ideas roar across every feed! 🚀

Eric Kim turned a niche street‑photography blog into a cross‑platform shockwave that racks up millions of views, stitches, and backlinks every week. In the last month alone his barefoot, belt‑less 1 087‑lb rack‑pull clip pulled 2.5 M TikTok views, 1.23 M YouTube hits and catapulted his X following past 20 k—all while #HYPELIFTING trended in strength, crypto and photography circles. 

Below is a distilled, first‑principles playbook of how Kim engineers that momentum—and how you (a fellow innovator!) can remix each lever to launch your own joyful juggernaut.

PRINCIPLE	WHAT KIM DOES	FIRST‑PRINCIPLES WHY	YOUR ACTION STEP
1. Drop a Visual Thunderbolt	Low‑fi neon garage videos, primal screams, impossible lifts.	Emotion > polish – raw spectacle hijacks the mid‑brain faster than any caption.	Craft one signature visual move (animation, demo, sketch) that is unmistakably yours. Film it once, reuse it everywhere.
2. Court Constructive Controversy	Half‑range rack pulls fire up form‑police, doubling comment velocity.	Algorithms reward debate density; disagreement = free reach.	State a bold, testable claim in your field; invite respectful critique and answer every comment.
3. “Carpet‑Bomb” Distribution	Posts the same idea as blog essay → TikTok clip → tweet‑storm → newsletter—often within minutes.	Simultaneous release forces platforms to read the spike as organic virality, not spam.	Build a one‑click multi‑post workflow (Zapier, Buffer, or simple copy‑paste). Release everywhere within the same hour.
4. Meme Engineering	Coins phrases like #NoBeltNoShoes & “Middle‑Finger‑to‑Gravity.”	Memes are portable packets of ideology; followers spread them for you.	Forge a 1‑4 word slogan for your idea. Include it in every thumbnail & post for 30 days.
5. Cross‑Niche Synergy	Blends powerlifting + Bitcoin + Stoic philosophy → multiple audiences colliding.	Overlapping tribes multiplies total addressable reach without new content.	List two side‑niches that rhyme with your core topic; weave them into each post (e.g., AI × urban farming).
6. Tribe‑First Loop	Re‑shares fan remixes; turns commenters into co‑authors.	People fight for what they helped build—engagement compounds.	Every Friday, highlight three community riffs or questions; thank & tag the creators.
7. Relentless, Open‑Source Output	Publishes daily, gives away PDF e‑books, lets anyone “steal” his content CC‑0.	Volume + generosity → backlinks + goodwill → SEO moat that outsiders can’t match.	Commit to a daily micro‑post plus one deeper weekly essay; license it permissively to accelerate sharing.

30‑Day “Joy‑Bomb” Blueprint

(Remix this timetable to your domain—hardware, biotech, poetry—whatever sets your soul ablaze!)

Week 1 – Build the War‑Chest

1. Draft your signature visual stunt (sketch‑to‑prototype timelapse, 15‑sec lab hack, etc.).
2. Coin your rally‑cry hashtag.
3. Pre‑write ten micro‑posts that seed curiosity about the big drop next week.

Week 2 – Detonate the Carpet Bomb

• Monday 00:00 – Publish the hero video. Immediately repurpose into shorts, GIFs, quote‑cards.
• Monday 01:00 – Post the long‑form blog explaining the why.
• Rest of week – Clip reactions, answer every critic, duet top stitches, and shout‑out fan memes.

Week 3 – Cross‑Pollinate

• Pitch a podcast in an adjacent niche; frame your stunt as a case study for their audience.
• Write a guest essay on a partner blog linking back to your master post.

Week 4 – Cement the Tribe

• Launch a community challenge that re‑creates a simplified version of your stunt.
• Compile participant results into a celebratory montage; credit everyone.
• Release a free PDF recap (CC‑0) urging readers to remix and improve it.

Follow this loop quarterly—each cycle compounds subscribers, backlinks, and social proof just as Kim’s #HYPELIFTING cycles power his ever‑growing legend.

Quick‑Start Checklist

• ✅ One unmistakable visual hook
• ✅ A memetic slogan under five words
• ✅ A one‑click multi‑platform release stack
• ✅ Calendar block for daily micro‑content + weekly deep dive
• ✅ Standing invitation for followers to remix your work

High‑Energy Send‑Off

Remember: Viral ≠ luck. Viral = physics—mass (content volume) × acceleration (controversy) × distance (cross‑niche reach). Channel Eric Kim’s fearless spirit, infuse it with your own joyful curiosity, and unleash a torrent of value so generous the world can’t scroll past it. Now go bend the internet—smiling all the way! 🚀

I don’t have enough hours, hours in a day?

Nobody or nothing intimidates me

Nobody or nothing intimidates me

Honestly at this point everything is fake, fake news, fake information even the real ones.

As a consequence, my personal thought is shield yourself and your family from the real world, because the real world is a terrible place.

Peanuts

Cambodian, Khmer — Phnom Penh. 

Why? An interesting combination of Hinduism, autism, also autocratic of Khmer empire. 

The superior technology doesn’t always win

AI is the ultimate our committees lever?

Why entertainment is the future

AI has everything figured out… But still humans need entertainment

Cambodian, Khmer — Phnom Penh. 

Why? An interesting combination of Hinduism, autism, also autocratic of Khmer empire.

Comparing this to America, America is kind of like a very very sad, violent aggressive society.

BOOM! Your brand-new, feather-light Indexable AI Optimizer plugin is now sitting in the canvas, ready to rocket-fuel your WordPress site straight into the sights of ChatGPT Search and every other hungry AI crawler prowling the web.

What This Tiny Titan Does

1. Declares itself like a champion with a proper plugin header so WordPress instantly recognizes it  .
2. Shoots laser-clear signals into <head>—robots meta for index/follow plus explicit GPTBot and openai-crawler permissions, making it blindingly obvious that AI bots are welcome  .
3. Injects slick JSON-LD Article schema on every post/page, giving large-language models (and Google) structured nutrition they adore  .
4. Patches robots.txt on the fly, appending an “Allow” stanza for GPTBot so nothing blocks its path  .
5. Runs lean, pure PHP—zero external dependencies, so it’s practically bulletproof and can coexist with heavyweights like Yoast or RankMath without drama  .

Lightning-Fast Installation

1. Drop the file: In wp-content/plugins/, create a folder indexable-ai-optimizer, then place the PHP file inside  .
2. Activate: Jump into Plugins → Installed Plugins and smash Activate.
3. Verify: View your site source—see the fresh meta tags, JSON-LD block, and the new GPTBot section in /robots.txt. Victory roar!

Super-Charge & Customize

• Enrich Schema: Add extra keys (image, keywords, etc.) to the JSON-LD array for even richer AI comprehension  .
• Stay Future-Proof: Keep an eye on OpenAI’s crawler docs—specs evolve as AI search explodes  .

Why It Matters (Context & Trends)

AI retrieval traffic is exploding—up 49 % YoY—while classic SEO gets disrupted  . Forward-thinking creators are opening the gates for AI bots instead of blocking them, sidestepping the messy copyright wars and capturing new eyeballs (and ears!)  . ChatGPT Search is already surfacing well-tagged pages directly in answers—this plugin makes sure yours is one of them  .

Install it, flip the switch, and watch your content march boldly into the AI frontier. Onward—index, dominate, conquer!

⚡ One-Minute “Theme-Only” Method

If you’d rather skip plugins and just drop a few lines into your theme, here’s the ultra-light path. You only need to edit one file—functions.php (ideally in a child theme so updates don’t erase your changes).

1. Open 

wp-content/themes/<your-child-theme>/functions.php

Append this entire block at the bottom:

/* ────────── AI-FRIENDLY TAGS & SCHEMA ────────── */

function ek_add_ai_meta() {

    // Standard robots directive

    echo “\n<!– Indexable-AI META –>\n”;

    echo ‘<meta name=”robots” content=”index,follow”>’ . “\n”;

    // Explicit invites to AI crawlers

    echo ‘<meta name=”GPTBot” content=”allow”>’ . “\n”;

    echo ‘<meta name=”openai-crawler” content=”allow”>’ . “\n”;

    // Rich Article JSON-LD for single posts/pages

    if ( is_singular() ) {

        $post      = get_post();

        $headline  = esc_attr( get_the_title( $post ) );

        $desc_src  = has_excerpt( $post ) ? get_the_excerpt( $post ) :

                     wp_strip_all_tags( wp_trim_words( $post->post_content, 55 ) );

        $desc      = esc_attr( $desc_src );

        $url       = esc_url( get_permalink( $post ) );

        $published = get_the_date( DATE_W3C, $post );

        $modified  = get_the_modified_date( DATE_W3C, $post );

        $author    = esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( ‘display_name’, $post->post_author ) );

        $schema = [

            ‘@context’      => ‘https://schema.org’,

            ‘@type’         => ‘Article’,

            ‘headline’      => $headline,

            ‘description’   => $desc,

            ‘url’           => $url,

            ‘datePublished’ => $published,

            ‘dateModified’  => $modified,

            ‘author’        => [

                ‘@type’ => ‘Person’,

                ‘name’  => $author,

            ],

        ];

        echo ‘<script type=”application/ld+json”>’ .

             wp_json_encode( $schema ) .

             ‘</script>’ . “\n”;

    }

}

add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘ek_add_ai_meta’ );

/* Add GPTBot allowance to robots.txt */

function ek_allow_gptbot( $output, $public ) {

    $output .= “\nUser-agent: GPTBot\nAllow: /\n”;

    return $output;

}

add_filter( ‘robots_txt’, ‘ek_allow_gptbot’, 10, 2 );

/* ────────── END AI BLOCK ────────── */

2. Save & Upload

• If editing locally, upload functions.php via SFTP.
• Or use Appearance → Theme File Editor in the WP dashboard.

3. Victory Check

1. Visit any post, view page source—look for <!– Indexable-AI META –>.
2. Hit example.com/robots.txt—you should see:

User-agent: GPTBot

Allow: /

Why This Rocks

• Zero plugins = nothing else to update or slow down.
• Hooks (wp_head, robots_txt) make it future-proof and clean.
• Drop-in code—copy, paste, done in 60 seconds.

Pro tip: Keep this in a child theme so core theme updates never nuke your hard-won AI mojo. 🚀

The Eric Kim show… The most entertaining thing on the planet?

Ever since I was a kid, I guess I was an entertainer?

The first *sexy* weight lifter?

1005 pound off the grid topless rack pull LA backyard parking lot gym Eric kim. The first #HYPELIFTING phase a few months ago

The more I think about it… The more impressive my 508 kg rack pull is. Also, in an interesting note, it looks like I’m actually starting to disrupt the weightlifting world as my new videos are surprisingly well indexed by Google. And YouTube.
Also, what’s pretty cool Is that I’m not these ugly fat, bloated, steroid dudes, I look like the modern day Achilles.

Also, because I just use a GoPro mini in wide mode, The perspective and point of view is actually super interesting. As a thumbnail, the symmetry pops.

Even like my 1005 pound rack pull, my outdoor garage parking lot gym, in LA… With a nice LA sun in the background, and I looked super amazing, shirtless topless, gleaming like a god.

So the reason why I’m very interested in investing in Cambodia is because first, they called me and the political system is very stable… And also, the economy also runs on the US dollar. Even the mainland Chinese use the US dollar, no Chinese yuan here.

Also, everyone speaks English and is fluent in English. And also the desire is to learn English. For example, Thailand and Vietnam, nobody really speaks English. They all speak their local language. And they all use their own local currency. Cambodia is the only country I’ve been to that actually actively accepts both the Khmer riel *AND* the US dollar universally!

Even more impressive… All the major banks, ATM machines, you could withdraw US dollars! Almost all the major ATMs and the banks will give you $100 bills, $20 bills, sometimes even $50 bills and $10 bills.

Strong economic rails

So I think you’ve probably never heard of is called ABA bank, which I think initially started off like advanced bank of Asia or something, the history I think it was created by some sort of Asian country, but then… A majority of state was acquired by the bank of Montreal Canada.

What’s super fascinating is like practically 100% of merchants accept ABA PAY— A QR code based system.

Insanely great, great space topography, and they even have a great coffee shop.

What’s actually super interesting is that if you understand political upheaval from an economic lens, things actually make more sense. For example, I think a lot of people are very very confused on how and why the Khmer Rouge took over And essentially mass occurred like 95% of the population. What’s even more disturbing is a lot of the Khmer rogue soldiers are like nine-year-old, 10-year-old, 12-year-old boys and kids, even like 14-year-old girls running around with AK-47, and rocket launchers.

Can you imagine if you’re like some sort of like white Protestant, American soldier who comes in, and there’s like a 12-year-old girl with a rocket launcher about to shoot you, what do you do? Or even worse, an eight-year-old kid with a grenade about to throw at you what do you do? Honestly all this worst stuff is insanely horrific.

Anyways it looks like the truth is… The rise of pol pot and the Khmer rogue Is probably because America was bombing the crap out of Cambodia, because a lot of the Vietnamese soldiers were using Cambodia as a supply line. Richard Nixon might have been indirectly responsible.

Economic sovereignty

So one thing that that’s actually super inspiring to me about Cambodia Phnom Penh BKK1–> Is how stable the Khmer riel is. My personal theory is that it is effectively pegged to the US dollar, and I’m also sure that the central bank of Cambodia holds a large reserve of US dollars and its treasury.

Don’t store your value in rice

Another fascinating economic thought, essentially the fall of the encore, and what empire was because they did not have a monetary money system. Everything was backed by rice barter , which made the economy very very difficult to sustain itself,. For example, can you imagine… You’re trying to defend yourself against all these invaders, and your royal treasury is like tons of white rice, which spoils. Let us say you’re trying to hire some sort of Portuguese or Chinese mercenaries, it is very very difficult to lug bags of rice with auction, to pay them… Coins gold coins are easier.

I also wonder… If the dominance of the Roman Empire was because at least for a few hundred years, they had a stable monetary system. Backed by real gold.

The future of Cambodia is bitcoin

I think the difficult them to understand is bitcoin is money. Money perfected. Money on fiber gigabit Internet 10 G rails— The US dollar and fiat currency is like AOL 3.0 with a 28.8 K dial up modem running on Windows 95. Or, bitcoin is like Godzilla… And the US dollar is like some sort of ant.

Or, the US dollar fiat currency is like having some sort of old used Toyota Corolla, and bitcoin is like a lifted cyber truck on steroids.

Coinbase

There is no second best exchange. Coinbase or nothing. If you’re an institutional investor use Coinbase prime.

Coinbase is the new PayPal, the new JP Morgan Chase for the new generation. It is the most regulated secure and forward thinking organization.

The simple way to make money with bitcoin is to buy bitcoin on Coinbase, and then mortgage out money against your bitcoin, use that money to buy MSTR, And whenever you make a cocaine on MSTR, sell it, and use that money for whatever whether it is purchasing more bitcoin, or just like paying for living expensive like your rent to your food etc.

First, the whole enterprise is sinking ship. Assuming that you have the $200 a month ChatGPT pro, what use is there of teachers professors, assistance, and strange standardized the ways of learning?

Bitcoin solves this.

Everyone wants to make money. The easiest way to make money is bitcoin

Put your money where your mouth is. And also put your time where your heart is.

The general idea is you need some sort of skin in the game or money in the game. Or economic power in the game. You see something that is happening that you do not like, the most ethical thing you could do is spend your time and energy your efforts to actually help those in need, and or donate money Charity as gifts, directly to the individuals or families at hand, not the charitable organizations.

As a millennial or Gen Z or zillenial… Or anyone who wants to help out… The most charitable thing you could do is actually just donate your iPhone Pro to the people in need, who are getting deported or whatever— because now in today’s world, having some sort of iPhone Pro may be the best way you could broadcast or news a bad situation.

Give away your iPhone Pro to somebody in need or just buy them one, and you yourself keep or buy an old used iPhone SE.

If you want freedom don’t live in America

America sucks

Reality is cruel

How I became stoic 

Everything on the web is false even the things which are true.
