Join me as I chat with Jack Friks to discuss driving free traffic to mobile apps through organic social media marketing on Instagram and TikTok. He details a specific approach that involves creating a fresh account, studying successful content in your niche, and consistently posting while iterating on formats until finding one that generates significant views. Jack emphasizes that success requires patience, often taking 30-100 posts before finding a winning formula.
