How Brandon started his journey
After school, he decided to pursue an education in sales and marketing. As soon as he graduated he began working a 9-5 job to pay his bills while also creating, experimenting, and maintaining his very first Twitter account.

Soon he created his first page following this demographic and content style. His growth strategies started working and his Twitter account grew to nearly 500,000 followers in less than a week.
He began receiving requests from major brands, influencers, and media companies to get featured on his page. He took the advantage, partnered with brands, and connected with other social media influencers to continue his growth. Mimms took what he earned and then reinvested it into creating other profitable accounts across Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. As a result of all of his hard work, he now has a total of 10 million followers across all platforms.
What Brandon has to say about his journey
“I am motivated primarily because I am very passionate about social media. When I initially started in social media I wasn’t sure if it would become successful or even earn money but the one thing I knew was that I enjoyed what I was doing. The continued growth of my accounts and the potential they have is what makes this job exciting and fresh for me, but my passion is what truly keeps me going. I have been lucky enough to realize the potential of social media and I’m excited for what the future holds”, Mimms state
