Poetic Reviews
[A play on PR where I review experiences; plays, restaurants, events - using free verse poetry]
Every review has averaged about 1,000 views and 10 shares (while averaging less than 150 followers)
Tik Tok Notifications
For the last four months Tik Tok has notified me that I'm outperforming 90% of creators with similar follower counts.
I have been growing slowly using follow for follow, capitalizing on organic active engagement with each follower on my tik tok and instagram accounts.
Let's work together
