Sam Andrews On Having Nearly 2 Million Followers on TikTok, The Emilies, And Big Time Fame
When I last interviewed Sam Andrews (@samueljeffersonandrews on TikTok), he was somewhere in the 800k area of followers on the app. He's now approaching 1.8 million, and the last few weeks have been epic, so we decided to chat again for the benefit of 'The Emilies' and... ultimately... humanity.
In this vid, you will discover:
- What happened after Sam hit 1 million on TikTok and decided to do a 'meet and greet' for his fans
- How he's building a business from TikTok with his new line of merch
- Exciting developments relating to the Emily POV Series (I won't post spoilers here. You need to watch the video!)
- A competition he's running to discover which of his fans is The Real Emily
Leave comments under this post so he can see your feedback. He has so many followers at this point that this is your best chance of being seen. By all means, copy and paste your comment to TikTok as well.
Let Sam know what his POV series has meant to you and what you love about him.

Rebecca has written social media magazine columns for Writing Magazine and two magazines in the entrepreneurship industry.
She coaches celebrities, entrepreneurs, and creatives from around the world. This gives her insights into what really happens when you become MORE than 'TikTok Famous’.
One of the first social media influencers, Rebecca won the Ms Twitter influencer contest (beating all the Kardashians) a decade ago, and was a Finalist in The Shorty Awards, beating JK Rowling in the Literature category.
She was also one of the original Dot Com Pioneers, and her cat was one of the first lolcats on the web before the term 'lolcat' was a thing. Rebecca turned her into a gif with flashing eyes that told fortunes on a celebrity blog in 1999.
Random trivia:
She was invited to a party in Johnny Depp’s room in a hotel once, but turned him down because she was having too much fun singing for a bunch of BAFTA Award winners at an aftershow party.
She had pizza with Stephen Fry and interviewed him for a student newspaper in 1997. They’re still friends.
She is camera shy but that didn’t stop Google randomly roping her into testing live-streaming tech for SIX YEARS so you’d be able to go live on places like YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.
