Great content is key. Share cool stuff that is actually engaging. The sales will come later. Once you build a real audience.

Learn how to network. So many successful social media people got to where they are by collaborating with the right people

Start from the desired outcome and work backwards from there.

Geographically large but very specific target audiences.

Be kind (avoid negativity) , post good content that will engage your audience, post often (at least once a day depending on the platform). Be authentic to your audience and add to the discussion. That’s how I’ve built my audience.

Consistency is one of the keys to success in social media. Here are some questions to answer 1- Do you have your own website (portfolio) 2- Do you have all your services listed (with videos, pictures..) and price list for your services (at least in mind) 3- Are you good at what you are doing or atleast ready to keep learning 4- Do you have the courage to contact customers and ask for business? Good luck

There are a lot of theoretical tips and tricks on the internet. All those tips are generally useful but the hard truth is you can’t be sucessful with theory alone. Best practice is needed to be successful. Practices are different based on the type of industry, business and target-audience. The best way to define best practice of your business is testing it out by yourself. Learn best practices from other similar business and find yours. Once you can balance best theoretical and practical ways of your business, you are on the way to success.

I would suggest you find a niche that works for you and go hard. Post daily, engage with your followers and remain authentic. Take your time with your content also. Content is the most important aspect of gaining notoriety..I’ve been on TikTok for 1 month and I gained 48,000 followers, 500,000 likes across my videos and an engagement rate of 3,500,000 video views in 28 days. I’m doing ok lol
