It was from Tik Tok, a “social media platform for kids.” We’ve seen this time and time again, where a new social media platform emerges and people wait and wait and wait to jump on board because their audience isn’t on the platform. However, Joe has a new strategy: utilize the latest platform, establish a presence, then EXPORT the content to other platforms where his audience is already engaged. Guess what? It’s working...
