How did Jake Geruson achieve fame at such a young age?
Jake says that the overall tools to success are always right in front of you; it’s just a matter of whether you decide to reach for them with your whole soul. Jake recently highlighted his three keys to success. First, Jake explains that you must have a vision of precisely what you want from social media, but you can’t be overly rigid. Stay flexible and understand that your end goal may change during your journey. Second, Jake emphasizes the importance of experimenting with content. You should balance producing what you know your community likes with taking the risk of introducing new content, letting your community react to it. Jake also encourages fellow influencers to “show their true colors,” and ask fans what they would like to see you do. Finally, Jake emphasizes that what will separate someone from the rest is consistency. His advice: the simple act of posting on social platforms once a day will connect you with your audience in a significantly stronger way than someone who does not.
