What Marketers Need to Know About TikTok
with Rachel Pedersen
Episode Overview
I bet you've been thinkin' that TikTok is only for teenagers, right?
Well, I thought the same thing too…at first. Let me explain…
Sure, it is true that about 66% of its active users are under the age of 30, which means that â…“ of its users are over 30!
Think about that for just one hot second! 30% of over 500 million (yasss.. that's a lot!) ACTIVE users per month are older, a little more “”mature””. 🤣
Join me LIVE with special guest, Rachel Pederson, as we discuss and explore ways you can use Tik Tok to market YOUR business.
