How I Grew to 38K Followers in 5 Months Without Showing My Face

Want to start selling digital products online but dread the thought of showing your face everywhere on social media? You're certainly not alone in this. Social media can often feel like it demands our personal visibility, a prospect that can be quite daunting for the privacy-conscious and introverted among us.

For the longest time, social media was a realm I actively avoided. The mere thought of being recognized by a coworker or having to always look my best was overwhelming, fueled by my inherent shyness and preference for privacy. My social accounts were few, tightly secured, and hardly contained many personal photos. The idea of stepping into the limelight, even digitally, seemed not just daunting but painful

Yet, as a designer wrestling with self-doubt, I found a different route. I leaned into what felt most natural to me, educating others. I began to share Canva tips and tutorials, putting the spotlight on my expertise instead of my appearance.

Using Quicktime to record my screen and CapCut for voiceovers made the process feel more approachable. This experience was a revelation: social media success doesn't necessitate personal exposure. Offering genuine value in your area of passion suffices to gather a following.

Adopting the faceless marketing approach, I embarked on a TikTok journey that dramatically exceeded my expectations. In just five months, I amassed over 38,000 followers by:

  • Posting Thrice Daily: It was a challenge, but consistency was key. For those strapped for time, motivational tips or using faceless reels can be a great alternative.
  • Strategic Hashtag Use: I tapped into trending hashtags, focusing on 4-5 per post and recycling the most effective ones. This strategy significantly increased my visibility on the platform.
  • Creating Longer Videos: Videos exceeding one minute garnered more engagement and were frequently promoted by TikTok, enhancing my reach.
  • Engaging With My Audience: Interaction in the comments section boosted my posts' engagement, signaling to TikTok that my content was resonating with viewers.
  • Educational Content: By focusing on Canva tutorials, I not only shared valuable insights but also became a Canvassador, gaining access to exclusive updates and Canva merchandise.

This journey taught me that authenticity and value outweighs visibility. You don't need to be the face of your brand to make an impact on social media.
