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.
