Happy Sunday, everyone! โ๏ธ I just wanted to stop by and thank Lo for creating this TikTok LIVE challenge and hopefully encourage anyone whoโs been thinking about going live. Iโll be honestโฆ I didnโt complete all three Lives because I was TERRIFIED. ๐ But I did complete one, and Iโm so glad I did. My goal was just 15 minutes. I even had a timer set! ๐ When the timer went off, I thanked everyone for hanging out and started wrapping up. The comments immediately started saying, โNo, keep going! Itโs too short!โ So I stayed on for a total of 25 minutesโฆ and they STILL said it was too short! That was my limit for the day, but I promised Iโd be back the following Sunday. The funny thing is, instead of dreading it, I spent the entire week looking forward to going live again. Another unexpected benefit? Content!!! TikTok saves highlights from your Live, so now I repurpose those clips for my business and Instagram. One LIVE gives me content for multiple platforms, which has been a huge bonus. And hereโs something else that surprised meโฆ I made $5 in gifts during just 25 minutes. I wasnโt expecting anything! It may not sound like a lot, but considering I was simply sharing something I love, it was pretty exciting. It also made me think about whatโs possible with consistency. As a DJ, this has been especially meaningful for me. In my local market, venues often expect DJs to play whatโs popular. TikTok LIVE gives me complete freedom to play the music I genuinely love. I get to create my own lane, and the people who appreciate that vibe find me instead of me trying to fit into someone elseโs. Thatโs probably my biggest takeaway from this challenge. Whatever your niche is, TikTok LIVE gives you a space to show up as yourself and attract your people. After allโฆ thatโs exactly how all of us found Lo!! โค๏ธ Thank you again, Lo, for pushing us outside our comfort zones. Iโm officially inspired to keep going live every week! ๐๐ฝ๐ถโจ๐ค
