In today's episode, I delve into where to even begin when it comes to creating content on social media (such as "influencing") mainly on TikTok, insider tips, how to conquer a creative slump, and so much more! There's a lot to talk about in this episode, even if you aren't looking to become a content creator, there's a lot to learn about the world of influencing. I discuss at length on how to be successful on TikTok, as opposed to all social media platforms. I may do a separate episode on being a creator on Instagram. Enjoy!
