She said she spent most of her time on the platform showcasing her different skills such as dancing, modeling, and storytelling.

“I invested a lot of time, effort, and sacrifice myself to this. I believed in myself that one day I will make it. I have been always a hard worker and spent most of my time on the platform practicing and showcasing my skills to gain more followers. Indeed, hard work pays,” said Mtenje.

She revealed a secret that if one wants to have more followers on TikTokone has to always entertain the audience, teach them how they can grow their TikTok accounts, and do what exactly they want and like.

Mtenje urged Malawians who are trying to have more followers on TikTok to always work hard and have passionate about it.

“If you want to have more followers on TikTok you should work hard and be passionate about it. Know your niche, believe in yourself, create your profile, consistently post high-quality content, collaborate with others, think outside box, and always have confidence that you can make it no matter what a challenge,” she said.

She said she is feeling happy that she is the first person to have more Tiktok followers in Malawi and promises to do more than this.

Mtenje said she is always inspired by a young South African TikToker Witney and wants to be more than like her in the future.

She thanked all people who have been supporting her saying without them she would not be where she is today.

TikTok is a social media platform used to create, share and discover short videos. The app is mostly used by the young as an outlet to express themselves through dancing, singing, comedy, and lip-syncing. It allows users to create and share videos across the world through smartphones.

When the user reaches 800 followers, the app allows him or her to go live which helps him or her to get various gifts from the audience or followers such as money and many others. It also provides an opportunity to collaborate with the companies who pay the TikTok user so as they advertise their new products.
