My TikTok adventures

My win is that I found a style of posting that's working well for me. I have 270 followers and for the past week have been getting more views/video than I have followers. That's pretty darn amazing! My follower count is slowly growing, which is perfectly ok with me.

This morning I turned my daily selfie into a video instead of a picture with text. I think I figured out something that will keep people on my videos longer, which is pure gold. This morning instead of taking a picture, I recorded a still video of me and the only movement you see is the blinking for 15 seconds. The background noise at Panera is the "music". I put some text on the cover, that will last the entire 15 seconds. As I clicked to post I noticed I can select how long the text stays on the screen. So, lets say I have the text stay on for 5 seconds, then I should be able to put more text after that 5 seconds, let that sit for 5 seconds and keep repeating.

There's another creator I follow who doesn't talk in her videos much, but mutes the sound of the video, puts text on top and adds some music. I noticed I stayed on her videos longer to read the text, which is where I came up with the idea to try a similar approach.

Because I'm the creator of my product, I can turn every video into a shoppable video even though I'm far below the threshold where people can do normally do this for a product.

It's going slow, but it's manageable which is the best way to do it for my brain.
