Show Notes

When launching a new brand, a lot of eCommerce entrepreneurs assume the best (and perhaps only) way of reaching a large number of their target audience is through paid advertising.

In this week’s episode, though, we sit down with Erica Rankin who has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for her startup cookie dough brand purely through organic marketing.

She breaks down her strategy for building an audience on platforms like TikTok, and also delves into why building a personal brand can be such an asset for brand owners - even if you have nothing to sell.

This is a great conversation with an inspiring entrepreneur that will give you lots of takeaways to put into your business. Enjoy!
