21 year old Oliver Brocato selling chocolates with insane marketing strategy generating $11M

Some people sees world different than the rest of us. This sometimes make them an outcast but sometimes it give the rest of us a different perspective. Oliver Brocato the founder of Sex Chocolates Tabs, a very unique company manage to reverse engineer tik tok marketing and manage to create his own tactic which manage to turn his company to $11M in 18 months.

One of Brocato's most successful tactics was hiring small TikTokers and encouraging them to boost each other's videos. When one of them went viral, he would ask the others to create similar videos, saving money on marketing while maximizing views. TikTok's focus on individual videos rather than follower counts made this possible.

Brocato has many other lessons to offer about customer funneling and more, but those will have to wait for another day.

    Love his approach to staying away from dropshipping lol. It has such a bad rep now with the influx of TikTok organic ads from drop shippers, he did the right thing in terms of being sustainable during the TikTok growth phase.

    all your social media content.
