   • Short tap combo
   • INSPIRE: Text on screen for entire video, encouraging others to believe in themselves; 6 comments so far (including my responses); I should note that this post got some spam/negative comments (which I reply to because I absolutely don’t care when rude, horrible, loser humans comment things like laughing faces on my inspirational posts – I LOVE engagement on my posts, that’s just my truth with regard to this matter – It’s only business, never personal!)

OBSERVATION: I have noticed that videos of me showing off a product (without dancing), with or without a lot of text and with a trending song do NOT do well for my TikTok account! Videos where I showcase the product AND do a trending dance do OKAY, but not enough for me to think that I should continue doing this. I think it is more important to show my products being used.

More later!
