Sick of expensive acquisition costs? This is how to grow a brand with organic TikTok (read: no ad spend).
This episode features the founder of a hemp cigarette company. And guess what – he can’t advertise on Facebook or Google due to the nature of the product. So, he had to get super creative to figure out how to acquire customers and get in front of people.
After several failed attempts he found massive success with organic TikTok.
He did $500k in revenue in year 1 with no paid ad spend, and no employees while working full time at his agency. All because of their viral TikTok videos.
This is also an interesting vantage point because the brand made its own videos (and he was the one making them). So it’s a little different than the other TikTok success stories with influencer marketing out there right now.
