Starting off by building a brand and a following via social media before selling any product.

The goal is to
  • learn how to use social media in the first place
  • establish what the BRAND is (this part is done but i may find it evolves in ways i cant see yet)
  • grow a social media following
  • establish the BRAND on social media becoming known as a BRAND
  • use said BRAND to sell to the audience who follows and/or wants the BRAND.
