How I got 30,000 followers on TikTok.
Have you ever wanted to start a TikTok or YouTube channel?
Here is how I grew my TikTok channel to 30,000 followers in 8 months
You can use this strategy for growing your own video channel on TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook Reels.
I was struggling with shiny object syndrome, so to overcome this I decided to use the Jacob’s Formula. I learned about the Jacob’s formula in early 2023 and I decided to put it to the test.
You can learn more about the Jacob's Formula here.
In summary, the Jacobs Formula is Knowledge/Skill + Action + Patience = Success.
To do this, I needed to choose just one field or skill, or niche (others will call it)
So, I chose spreadsheets - Excel and Google Sheets. I had no idea how to use spreadsheets effectively.
So, I dedicated a few hours every day to learning.
In less than a week, I became so comfortable with spreadsheets that I was making videos to teach others.
The more I made videos, the more I solidified my understanding.
I was posting the same videos on TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube to see how they will behave on each platform.
The results were amazing
- I got 30,000 followers on TikTok
- 19,000 followers on Facebook
- 1000 subscribers on YouTube.
- A few clients for Excel lessons and templates.
This proved to me that if you consistently work on a skill for a good amount of time, you inevitably become successful with it.
Bear in mind that you must consistently and deliberately practice the skill/knowledge that you have chosen to make a difference.
For 9 months, I was making 4-5 videos per week and offering free spreadsheet templates. I even had 2 videos that got nearly 500,000 views.
I decided to slow down on spreadsheet videos to focus on building Codlixe, an app used to track goals, finances, books that I am reading, and weight.
Ultimately, I learned that if you work on something consistently, and patiently, without giving up even when you cannot see the results, you cannot lose.
Sometimes we just give up way too soon.
