In this podcast and YouTube series, I’m sharing my journey on TikTok.

This is week five: 6,000 followers to 40,000 followers.

In this episode, I share the top 7 things I’ve learned from growing my TikTok account from 0 to 40K followers in 5 weeks.

I’m also sharing how TikTok has impacted my business and the deals that I’ve closed thanks to my consistent presence on the platform and intentional, strategic outreach to potential partners.

I’ve never said this about any other social media platform before, but here it goes: If your business / personal brand doesn’t get on TikTok now, you’ll regret it a year from now. There are still so many people who are held back from joining the conversation… which means opportunity for you to become a thought leader in your niche!
