Let's get REAL for a moment! If you're aspiring to become a social media influencer, focus on delivering content that genuinely adds value. Share your knowledge and expertise to educate others—rather than just jumping on the latest trends! Adding true value will set you apart in this crowded space. 💡 #BeAuthentic

At first, I resisted it. “Why don’t you try TikTok to promote your business?” A few friends had suggested it. But I was sceptical... TikTok is for kids. It’s cat videos and silly dances and people doing stupid things. It’s trivial, shallow, just for fun and giggles. How could I possibly promote my training business on there? But the more people suggested it, the more I was intrigued.  Eventually, I relented. I had a go. I put together a short video – “3 skills you need to be an amazing leader in the 21st Century” and posted it. Within just 3 days of launching, I’d had…293 views and 7 likes. I don’t think that counts as viral. But it’s a start! Of course, you can’t gauge success based on one video. It takes time to build an audience. Even the biggest influencers with millions of followers were not a success overnight. Anyway, let’s see if this works. If you’re on TikTok, why not give me a follow? I’ll be sharing lots of tips of leadership, communication, and so much more. And maybe, who knows, some silly stuff! #tiktok #leadershipskills #commumunication

Some storytellers have the unique ability to turn personal experiences into global movements. They remind us of the immense potential stories hold in influencing hearts and minds.

It's how we learn, connect, and make decisions. 📌 Science confirms it: storytelling captivates audiences 22 times more effectively than facts alone.  📌 Studies show that stories not only increase brand recall but also drive sales conversions by up to 15%. Social media is saturated with information overload, so capturing attention is a constant battle. Brands that leverage the power of storytelling gain a critical edge in today's competitive landscape. But simply telling stories isn't enough. They need to be authentic, relevant, and emotionally resonant with your audience to build trust, and ultimately drive action. #storytelling #storyteller #brandstorytelling #contentmarketing #marketing #communication #engagement #authenticity #connection #impact #influence #leadership #personalbranding #community #brandloyalty #brandawareness #salesconversion #emotionalmarketing #customerengagement #trustbuilding #calltoaction

This is why TikTok wins again. TikTok understands how to vary content by audience to drive engagement. It even customizes the comments you see. Brands should use creative iterations to better match messaging with audiences, occasions, and intent to move consumers along the purchase funnel instead of a one best creative approach. #marketing #performancemarketing #creative https://lnkd.in/g5aAs9kK

🍿 A woman on TikTok, RessaTeesa, has a 50-part video series and people, including myself, are watching each and every video. If you haven't heard about it, a woman is telling the story about how her wasn't who she thought he was. Each of her 50+ videos has gone VIRAL. Over half of the story times have a million+ views! People are making content about her story People are doing skits from her story People are going live to discuss her story. =These things are the results of building an engaged audience or a community. Gimmicks like quick viral short videos can be used to intrigue your audience, but the story you tell keeps them around. Tell your story. Your audience literally craves it!
