The journey gets people on board and turns followers into fans and almost friends.Being on TikTok is all about getting exposure, building the story, and doing what your competitors aren't. It's putting in the effort and compounding the interest. You're not going to see the ROI right away, but it will come. Do not make decisions too quickly. Do tons of research, figure things out, and reach out to advisers.Being scrappy and not spending tons of money where you don't need to is the secret to successful bootstrapping.Automate, delegate, lay out your business, and put things where they should be.Recommended Tool:HootSuite https://www.hootsuite.com Shield https://www.shieldapp.ai Recommended Podcast:The Ed Mylett ShowApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ph/podcast/the-ed-mylett-show/id1181233130Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/19TdDBlFkqh7uevYO0jFSW Today's Guest:Erica Rankin is the founder and CEO of Bro Dough, a cookie dough company that provides a healthier way to indulge in this childhood treat.
