I get it you as floral enterprise house owners are usually not on the lookout for sticker items lol however the entire level is you want 1,000 followers to a minimum of go Dwell.

There are such a lot of on-line articles on getting 1,000 followers in an hour and even 5 minutes however after analysis, these articles are making you trick and fiddle with TikToks algorithms and are literally not providing you with high quality followers.  I slightly you all not do that as it might damage your TikTok account.

Simply to be clear I did begin with 50 followers – I had an open TikTok account already for a few 12 months or so.  Throughout my deep dive into TikTok, I did discover many lively customers on the video platform for years with solely about 200 followers- I figured this might not be straightforward and was truly feeling a bit intimidated!😕

This morning after I appeared on my app  I had 1,030 followers -started this course of on January fifteenth. Don’t consider me? Please reference the picture under. I do know! I used to be fairly astonished myself. 😁
