It's really easy to go viral on TikTok, but I need you to be careful about being viral on TikTok. Views don't pay. Let me repeat, virality and views do not pay. They don't turn into victory when it comes to financial status unless what you put out there is aligned. What went viral is aligned with your revenue-making message. And if it isn't revenue-making message, It really means nothing. I know there's so many people out there that sells you like, oh, we can make you viral if you do this and that. It's the same thing as following. I would advise against it because it'll cost you money you shouldn't be spending. Some of you, it will cost you money you don't really have. And I'm here to tell you, you don't need to spend any money on those things.

People with less experience are becoming known for the expertise you’ve spent decades building.
