From then I started advising my business on TikTok. I won’t even lie TikTok really helped my business. Within a year I already have over 5,000 followers on Instagram and most of them are from TikTok.

“And I use to do sponsored ads on Instagram too. At least 2 times in a month.

My motivation and drive

The 25-year-old who currently earns millions from her business said she delved into the business due to her passion for it.

According to her, she didn’t jump on the business because someone asked her to or because she wanted to ‘copy’ someone.

In her words:

“So to cut the long story short, the only thing that gave me courage was because I love my business.

“I did not start because someone was doing it. I started becoz I have passion for it and I put all my energy into my advert skills.”

My advice for young ones

The hardworking lady advised young people to have passion for what they do because it’s the only thing that will give them the courage to continue whenever the going gets tough.
