Iam_jujup’s Review

This podcast has truly provided “actionable” advice that I have been able to easily apply on my Instagram, Tik Tok & YouTube accounts. If you want free game on how to grow an authentic community on social media, tune in! If you are willing to learn and apply, this podcast is especially for you!
Also, michelle is super sweet! I personally dm’d her on IG, regarding a question I had. She was actively engaged and responsive. I think that’s a plus to know that she’s a real person and clearly loves what she does!
Thank you Michelle!
