We are diving deep into Tiktok official data and why entrepreneurs should pay attention to Tiktok to promote their business in 2020.
The myth that Tiktok is only used by children or middle school students is not true.
Tiktok's biggest consumers are between the age of 18 to 24, representing 48% of the total user base.
The early Gen Z (1995 - 2002) is mostly composed of university students and freshly graduates.
What distinguishes them from the other generation is they are the first generation born with internet. They are extremely open to buying & consuming online products.
Gen Z make up 40% of all consumers, slowly becoming the biggest purchasing power demographic over the millennial generation.
On this episode of the F*ck College Podcast with Eric Z Yang, we are diving how entrepreneurs can use Tiktok to grow their business in 2020.

Sharing some thoughts and advice on this episode on strategies I wish someone had told me when I first started.
Depression, anxiety, and limiting belief are emotions every entrepreneur goes through on a daily basis.
Especially when you pour your heart, energy, time and money into a project you believe in, it is really easy to be crippled by fear to not experience the pain of failure.
The truth is, fear has and will always be on the back of the mind of every entrepreneur.
And being able to deal with those emotions is what is going to make a difference in your business.
I believe that mindset contributes 80% of your entrepreneurial success.
Being able to take action, fail fast, recover, and start taking action again is the real battlefield ~ and mindset is the weapon every entrepreneur needs to master.
