The dumbest mistake I ever made on social media was not cross platform posting. I had 600 k followers on TikTok, and I had 6,000 followers on Instagram, and I never posted on Instagram. And in literally 3 months, when I just copy and pasted all my TikToks onto my Instagram, in three months I gained 100,000 followers. And then a year later, 1 million followers, and now on my Instagram, I have 2.9 million followers. It is literally a cheat code for growth. And then I cross platform on Facebook and I cross platform on YouTube. You're literally posting one video and creating four videos out of that post on TikTok, then on Instagram, then on Facebook, then on YouTube, and anywhere else you can do that's just. That's free. Snapchat, Twitter, etcetera. It is literally the easiest thing you can do for quadruple xing your growth.
