Driven by a passion for global craftsmanship, Bert Youn launched The Good Liver to sell high-end home goods, but found that web photos alone couldn’t convey the value of $300 items.

By committing to live sell on TikTok for three hours a day for six months straight, Bette cultivated a fiercely loyal organic community without spending a single dollar on paid advertising.
