Actionable Take-aways:

1. TikTok is currently still a great platform to start producing content on because it has predictable virality and business owners should take advantage of it. Get started on Tiktok if you are keen on growing your business on social media today.

2. Not all views are equal. Views on YouTube will be given more time and attention because a user actually chooses to click on your video to watch you. Ideally if you can do both, then strive for a balance of both long form and short form videos to have a strong video strategy. In order to grow your business on social media, you need to be able to convert the views into valid leads.

3. Everyone starts out dorky and nervous when they first start producing content. Work through the cringe and develop your skills and eventually you will feel comfortable talking to the camera and microphone.
