NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE
“I kind of hate when entrepreneurs say they’re lucky – I’m sure it’s like a little bit of luck but it’s also a lot of hard ass work.”
“As a business owner, these are all platforms that are meant to be social, right? So it’s not just a one way conversation. How can you engage people?”
“You don’t have to do all of them, you just have to think about your customer avatar.”
“Just because someone else is doing well at that time and day doesn’t mean that it’s going to be the same for you.”
“I think when you get into this content-planning, copywriting mood, you can knock out a lot more content, versus you sitting on your phone trying to think about what you haven’t posted.”
“I think it just kind of like encourages more conversation and engagement. It’s just fun. It’s really that’s like, the bottom line is that that’s super fun.”
“We overthink content, and everyone needs to stop doing that. Because just kind of simply showing what you offer, it can be a big hit.”
“I thought it was gonna be super complicated. It’s really not. It’s just like recording a video. The app is pretty intuitive and I think that it can make a really big difference for your business.”
“If you’re able to show people how much you know about your business, that trust factor really starts to be built in.”
“TikTok allows you to kind of open yourself up and show your personality…”
“You know, it’s okay if it’s not perfect, but why not try?”
