Tam shares her unique journey of steady growth on Instagram, amassing over 100,000 followers without ever going viral. We dive into the strategies that have been key to her success, including the power of consistency and how she leverages DM automation to boost engagement and build her email list. Tam also opens up about the challenges of balancing content creation with a full-time teaching job before transitioning to running her business full-time.
