In this episode I talk about my first impressions using Instagram and TikTok for my personal brand. I go over my thoughts and my plans using these platforms moving forward. Are they worth it? Can I reach a larger audience using Instagram to build my personal brand? Is TikTok just a fad, or can I use this platform to reach new eyes.

Are your people on these platforms, and if so what content can you create to make them be part of your community and brand ecosystem?   My New Accounts: https://www.instagram.com/johnthevideoguy/ https://www.tiktok.com/@johnthevideoguy   ***AFFILIATE NOTICE*** I earn from qualifying purchases.
