How I gained 10K TikTok followers in 30 days #shorts
Introduction
When people ask me how I went from zero to 10,000 followers on TikTok in just a month, my instinct is to respond, “Well, it’s because I’m fabulous, obviously!” But on a serious note, today I want to talk about the often-glamorized concept of overnight success.
Overnight successes are overrated and can sometimes be demotivating. I used to feel discouraged hearing about that 20-year-old who made a million dollars in just six months or that YouTuber who accrued 100K subscribers in two months. While my recent milestone is indeed a significant win—thank you for that—I think it’s essential to pull back the curtain and show you what went on behind the scenes so you don't feel disheartened by your own journey as I once did.
I have been creating YouTube videos for four years now. This experience has provided me with valuable skills in filming, scripting, and editing, all of which are perfectly transferrable to TikTok. Seriously, have you seen my enormous light? It’s taller than I am!
Along the way, I invested thousands into YouTube consultants who taught me about topics that resonate with my audience and strategies for engaging viewers effectively. It’s fascinating how these strategies translate to TikTok as well.
Interestingly, throughout my YouTube journey, I often viewed myself as somewhat of a failure. This perspective can skew your view of success, so I urge you not to compare your struggles and setbacks with someone else's achievements. Remember, everyone's journey is unique.
