TikTok for Busy Entrepreneurs
As an author, Sofia Grande did what many writers are told to do—she invested thousands into pay-per-click (PPC) advertising in hopes of boosting her book sales and growing her readership. But instead of seeing the surge she expected, the results were disheartening: rising costs, minimal returns, and mounting frustration. The dream of becoming a successful author started to feel more like an expensive hobby than a thriving business.
Exhausted, disillusioned, and questioning whether success in publishing was even possible, Sofia found herself at a crossroads. She knew she had to try something different—something bold. That’s when she took a leap of faith into the world of TikTok.
At the time, TikTok was widely known for dance trends, comedy skits, and viral lip-syncs. But hidden within the app was a fast-growing community of readers and creators eager to share their love for books. Sofia began exploring this space and quickly realized that TikTok wasn’t just a platform—it was a goldmine for authors willing to learn how to use it effectively.
Within just a few months of consistently posting engaging, authentic content, Sofia’s audience exploded. She grew to 30,000 loyal followers, and many of her videos started hitting over 700,000 views. People weren’t just watching—they were buying. TikTok became not only her main traffic source but also her largest revenue stream. Her books started selling faster than ever before, all thanks to the power of short-form video and genuine community interaction.
But the transformation didn’t stop with book sales.
As her influence grew, brands began to notice. Companies reached out to collaborate, and soon Sofia was charging $1,000 per video to create content for others. What started as an experiment to boost book sales turned into an entirely new business opportunity. She was now a sought-after creator, generating income beyond anything PPC ads had ever produced.
Then came a life-changing invitation—Sofia was asked to speak at a conference in Thailand in front of 400 entrepreneurs. There, she shared her journey of how TikTok transformed her business, proving that with the right approach, authors and small business owners could unlock incredible success through this dynamic platform.
Through all of this, one thing became clear: TikTok is a game changer for all types of sellers—especially authors. Yet, so many struggle to understand the algorithm, how to create compelling content, or even where to begin. Sofia knew she had to do more than just use the platform herself—she wanted to help others tap into its potential.
With that mission in mind, she founded BLUE ALPACA MEDIA, a social media consultancy dedicated to helping authors and brands build strong, authentic presences on TikTok. Her company now helps clients grow by over 200,000 followers, generate millions of views, and create viral content that translates into real revenue.
And her impact goes far beyond the book world.
One of her standout success stories is BodyCandy, a leading brand in the body jewelry space.

When they partnered with Sofia, their TikTok presence was relatively modest. Through weekly coaching sessions, ongoing strategy refinement, and consistent support, Sofia helped BodyCandy elevate their brand voice, expand their reach, and produce content that resonates with their audience.
Today, BodyCandy's TikTok account is a powerhouse, with viral videos driving massive brand engagement and sales. Sofia and her team also provide hands-on content creation, producing 10 high-performing videos per month. Each video is carefully crafted to capture attention, foster community, and turn casual viewers into loyal customers.
Sofia’s ability to understand both storytelling and strategy has proven to be a winning combination. Whether she’s guiding an author toward bestseller status or helping a lifestyle brand dominate TikTok, her approach is rooted in authenticity, creativity, and data-driven insights.
Her story is more than just a personal success—it’s a roadmap for others looking to break through the noise and build something meaningful online. She knows what it’s like to feel stuck, to pour money into marketing that doesn’t work, and to question whether the dream is even worth chasing.
But now, she also knows what it’s like to wake up every day with a growing fanbase, consistent sales, brand partnerships, and a thriving business fueled by creativity and connection.
