So, last year I released a 4-hour
faceless Instagram [music] theme page
course, and it became one of my best
performing videos yet. It's helped
thousands of people start or scale their
own profitable Instagram business
without having to show their face online
or spend [music] a single penny on ads.
But since that course was released, a
lot has changed. What worked last year
isn't necessarily what works best today.
There's new and improved ways to create
viral content, more monetization
opportunities, and updated AI tools,
which have made all this a lot more
effective and efficient. [music] And
that's why I've decided to put together
and release a brand new up-to-date
course, which goes into even more depth
than the last one. I'm giving you
essentially everything you need to
thrive in this booming creator economy,
which is only getting bigger and bigger
as time goes on. And I'm not just saying
this, I'm speaking from my own
experience. In the last year alone, I've
grown over 2 million followers across my
network of faceless Instagram pages,
made multiple six figures, built an
amazing team, which handles most of the
work for me, and built an inner circle
of over 100 active members scaling their
theme pages, all at the age of 22 years
old. Look, Instagram has over 3 billion
active users, and 98% of them are just
consumers. [music] That leaves the 2%,
the creators, so much opportunity to
capitalize off this gap and supply the
demand. And doing this is exactly how I
went from working at an ice cream shop 3
years ago as a broke college student
with no direction to building my own
six-f figureure theme page empire, which
allows me to work for myself, have
complete time, location, and financial
freedom, travel the world, give back to
my loved ones, and overall live life to
the absolute fullest. And just to be
crystal clear, in this course, there's
no fluff and no BS like all the other
videos out there. It's very direct and
very straight to the point. As you go
through it, you're going to learn
everything from the basics like picking
a profitable niche to mastering the
Instagram algorithm to creating content
that allows you to go viral consistently
and predictably to the most effective
ways to monetize your page and even how
to automate and scale it. And also
throughout this video, I'll be giving
you everything that I'm actually using
today, like the best websites and AI
tools to use, AI prompts, growth
strategies, the best monetization
methods, and more, so you have the
highest chance of becoming successful
with what I'm about to show you. And I'm
so excited this is finally live because
I know it will genuinely help you out a
ton with everything that I'm about to
show you throughout this video the same
way it's helped me. Overall, this is
something that I wish I had access to
myself when I was first getting started
with this business. So, with all of this
being said, make this video full screen
and grab a pen and paper for some
[music] notes to get ready for the most
valuable video that you've ever watched
on YouTube. Let's get straight into it.
All right, welcome to the complete 2026
Faceless Instagram theme page course. As
you guys know, I'm super super hyped to
be releasing and going over this with
you today. It's been a long time in the
making and yeah, without further ado,
let's just dive straight into it. So,
firstly, just to give you some context
on what exactly we'll be going over
today and what you'll be learning about.
First up, module one is my story and my
journey. This is just going over the
different milestones that I hit along
the way, what that looked like for me
personally on my journey. Overall, just
kind of going over the the process on
how I got to where I am today. I really
believe this will be insightful and
inspiring for you just to kind of get us
kicked off. Module two will be theme
page essentials. This will be giving you
everything you need to know about what
exactly theme pages are, how exactly
they work, just kind of giving you a
highlevel overview on that. Uh module
three, set the foundations. Just making
sure everything is set up the right way
from the beginning. Module four, how to
grow with viral content. Module five,
how to monetize the attention as you're
getting the views, followers, and
building the audience. Module six, how
to automate and scale this into a
full-fledged business. And module seven,
which is mindset mastery. This is going
to equip you with the right mindset to
ensure that you have the highest
likelihood of succeeding with the
information that I'm about to give you
today. All right? [snorts]
And yeah, with that being said, let's
dive straight into module one, which is
my story. All right? Because I'm sure
you guys are watching this right now.
some who maybe don't know me yet
thinking to yourself like you know who
even is this guy and why is he qualified
to uh teach me about theme pages in the
first place right which is completely
valid question in this whole like social
media environment so just to give you
some context my name is Pasha Mogatum
I'm 22 years old even though a lot of
people say I look like you know uh 25 or
26 I think it's because of the beard but
I am 22 I swear and uh I was born and
raised in California this is still where
I'm living today and really where
everything got started for me was 3
years ago when I was a lost college
student and I had no idea what I wanted
to do with my life. I just had no
direction and I was working a few
different jobs because, you know, I was
always driven. I was always like serious
about making something of myself. I just
didn't really know how. But what I did
know was that uh money helps with that,
right? And how do you get money? You
work a job. Um when you don't know any
better, right? So I worked a few jobs. I
was an ice cream scooper at Cold Stone.
Um, if you're from the US, you probably
know what I'm talking about. It's the
ice cream chain. And, uh, I was also a
lifeguard and I was also a hotel worker.
All right? So, these were the jobs that
I was working. And for all of these
jobs, they were all mindless and
repetitive tasks every single day. So, I
would show up and day in day out be
doing like the same mindless, brainless,
repetitive tasks every single day. Like,
I didn't even have to like think about
what I was doing. I was never thinking.
Uh, I wasn't learning anything. There
was no room to grow. Like for example,
at Cold Stone, I was just scooping ice
cream into buckets, mopping the floors,
washing the dishes. As a lifeguard, this
was so boring. I was just uh staring out
water all day. And a hotel worker, I
would just sit in this chair right here.
And I'd get phone calls from people in
rooms asking to bring them c or for me
to bring them certain things like, you
know, a blanket, soap, toothpaste, a
hair comb. So I was literally kind of
just like a monkey. I hear something and
then I like deliver. I hear something
deliver. Same with all of these jobs.
Like I was never thinking it was just
repetitive tasks every day which really
bothered me. Uh I wasn't learning
anything. I wasn't growing or anything.
I also had you know fixed income. So I
was just trading my time for money. So
no matter how hard I worked, no matter
how well I was doing the job, I was
still getting the same paycheck at the
end of the week, right? Um and that
really really bothered me because that
kind of like made me feel I had like
limits. I was restricted. there was only
like a there was a cap to how much that
I could make no matter how hard I could
work. And that didn't sit right with me,
you know, didn't make me motivated to go
to work or to really do anything at the
job. And I also had little to no
flexibility and freedom. So, at the end
of the day, I was working for someone
else. I had a boss. I had to be at a
certain place at a certain time. And I
couldn't really do anything about it,
right? You know, this was my employer.
They kind of dictate when I do what I do
and what I do. And as someone who likes
his autonomy, this really bothered me
because I want to be able to like kind
of do what I want throughout the day.
And I was always being scheduled at
inconvenient times on inconvenient days.
You know, I even had to work on a
Christmas Eve one time at night, the
closing shift um instead of being with
my family.
So,
I knew I wasn't going to like work these
types of jobs like my whole life. This
was just kind of when I was a little
younger, but I also thought about kind
of the future because the same would be
for the type of jobs that I'd be working
later on, just like for some
corporation, some desk job, some 9 to5,
it'd probably again be mindless,
repetitive tasks, still fixed income.
I'm still having a boss. So, even though
I wasn't like working that type of job
already, I I knew that's not what I
wanted. And I knew that I wasn't living
up to my full potential. I knew that I
was capable of so much more than just
living like an average life. And you
know, [snorts] some people are
completely fine with living an average
life. You know, they they could um just
work a regular job and retire when
they're 60 years old and in the meantime
like have to budget, go on like one trip
a year and have a boss and sit at a desk
for eight hours a day and have no
problem with it. And that's fine. That's
their prerogative. But for me, that's
[snorts] not what I wanted. And I knew I
had more potential and I was capable of
finding a different way, right?
Especially because at this time while
all of this was going on, like I'd see
people online who were my age or younger
and they were like building businesses,
traveling the world with their friends,
making a ton of money and just living
more of the life that I wanted for
myself, right? A life of freedom, of
flexibility, of um all these different
things. And I knew that that wasn't what
I was going to live if I kind of
continued on the path that I was on,
right? But this is really what bothered
me the most is I knew I wasn't living up
to my full potential. And seeing these
other people like I didn't like I I saw
them. I'm like these people are no
better than me. These people are no
smarter than me, no harder working than
me. If they can do it, like I can do it
too. Like why can't I do it? That's kind
of like the way that I thought about it,
right? And the thing that all these
people had in common was they were
making money online one way or another,
right? So I was like, you know what?
That's where I need to start. I need to
figure that out, right? So, uh, I knew I
had to figure out how to make a source
of income online. All right, that was
kind of like my realization, my first
foot in the door. And long story short,
I tried multiple different things. I
tried like YouTube automation. I tried
drop shipping. I think everyone tries
drop shipping at some point. Um, Amazon
FBA, a little bit of trading. And I made
a little bit of money, but most of the
time I just lost money and it just
didn't work out. And it was pretty
discouraging to be honest. Um, and I
like reconsidered things, let's say, a
couple times. But, uh, I knew that I
didn't have any other choice, right? I
wasn't going to settle. I wasn't going
to give up. I I had to figure something
out. Uh, and I came kind of to the
realization that really the key to
making money online, to building a
source of income, was having an online
audience. That's where everything sort
of clicked for me. Um, that was like the
key, let's put it that way. And
I knew that a lot of people were doing
like personal brands and stuff, but I
never really wanted to do that. I didn't
want to be like a cringey influencer
and, you know, dance in front of the
camera and like show myself every day
and talk about my life. Like I'm more of
an introverted person. Wanted to be
behind the scenes, let's say. Uh, and
that's when I came across theme pages or
like faceless pages where you could
still get the benefits of social media,
of getting attention, of building an
audience,
uh, but you didn't have to show
yourself. you didn't have to like have a
face or an identity attached to it. And
that's where I was like, "Okay, you
know, this this is where I need to be,
right? This is this is what I need to
really go all in on, right?" So, I
learned what I could about it. I kind of
got started with it and I ended up
reaching my first 20k followers after 5
months. So, I made a little bit of
progress. Uh, I believe I got a little
lucky earlier on because I got a couple
viral reels which like pretty much
brought me all these followers.
>> [snorts]
>> Um, but as time went on, like I was I
was definitely stuck. Like I plateaued.
Um, I started getting like a consistent
few thousand views. I couldn't really
get go viral again no matter what I
tried. Uh, I think I got to a point
where I was even losing followers at
some point. So, I was like, Um,
and I wasn't making any money at this
point. I mean, I had no idea where to
even start when it came to monetizing.
And yeah, I just if we go down here, I
overall had no direction. I had no
clarity, no idea what I was doing. No
structured blueprint or road map. I was
just doing trial and error, throwing
at the wall, hoping that it stuck,
relying on just like YouTube videos. Um,
you know, just watching some like
surface level level videos that were
just general and not really custom to
me. And I tried looking at other pages,
trying to see what they're doing and
like copy them. That didn't get me
really far. I also tried getting like,
you know, some 15 or $27 courses, little
shitty courses I thought might help, but
that was all just like general knowledge
and outdated stuff. So, I was really
stuck at this point. Um, no matter what
I tried, I couldn't figure out what I
was doing wrong. I just didn't know what
I was doing wrong. I had blind spots.
And, you know, I got to a point where
I'm like, okay, well, this is not
working. [laughter]
This is kind of the consensus I came to.
I'm like, you know what? uh if I really
want to make this work, if I want to do
this the right way, and probably what I
should have done a lot earlier was like
get some help, right? So I didn't have
to waste any more time trying to do this
trial and error, which clearly wasn't
working for me up to this point, right?
So I see out some help and this is when
I decided to invest most of my money
into my first mentor. So it was £2,500,
which is like £3,300.
And at the time I was like 19, maybe 18,
18 and a half. and
I had saved up like like between four to
5,000 uh from the different jobs that I
was working. So, this was literally more
than half of my money. Um, so it was
definitely a huge step. Uh, I was
nervous. I was scared. I didn't I wasn't
even fully certain. I just had a good
feeling about it. And overall, I knew I
had to do something, right? I [snorts]
couldn't just continue doing what I was
doing, which wasn't working. I wasn't
going to quit, you know? I I had to
figure something out, right? So, it felt
like I didn't really really have a
choice. And fortunately for me, you
know, I I found a good mentor, right?
This person was great. Um genuinely
wanted to help me out. And um I was able
to finally kind of learn from someone
who was in the position that I wanted to
be in. So instead of doing the trial and
error, I could like learn from this
person um learn from their mistakes that
they already made. They were a lot more
experienced than me. They could kind of
show me the ropes. And from working and
learning directly from him, this is
where I started to actually see some
results. So two months later, I crossed
100K followers and hit 2K a month,
right? So these were like the first
substantial results that I finally was
able to hit with online business. So as
soon as I started working with him, like
I understood what to change with my
content, how to actually go viral more
consistently, um like the the different
ways to monetize my page, how to
actually go about that, what actually
works, what doesn't work. [snorts] And
um I managed to get these types of
results uh earlier on. [snorts] And this
is what changed the game for me because
it was like the first substantial money
that I had ever made online. And I'm
like, you know what? You know, this is
the foundation, right? This shows me the
proof of concept. Kind of gives me a
platform to be like, okay, this works.
Now, if I'm only putting a few hours a
day in and getting these results, like
how much could I succeed if I do more?
Right? So, at this point, I'm like,
okay, this is the proof of concept. I
transitioned out of my job to do this
full-time because I was out earning my
job. And I
put my foot on the pedal and haven't
looked back really ever since. And fast
forward to now, I've built a network of
over 3 million followers on Instagram,
scaled to consistent 20 to 30k months,
and essentially put myself in the
position that I had always wanted to be
in back when, you know, when I was
working at Cold Stone, for example. Like
I'm in a position now where I have
full-time and location and financial
freedom. Um I can travel. I can even
bring my laptop and work from there.
Make money still. I can go wherever I
want, kind of get whatever I want and
you know uh provide for my parents, get
them nice gifts, take them to dinner,
you know. Um, these are things that I'd
always wanted and you know, I've managed
to achieve it and I'm blessed and I'm
grateful and I'm not fully satisfied
with where I am right now. Of course, I
still have more goals that I'm looking
to achieve. Although, you know, it's a
it's nice knowing that you set your mind
to something and you achieved it, right?
And I don't say this to like, you know,
say, "Oh, look at me. I'm so much better
than you." Like, that's not why I'm
saying this. I I say it to hopefully
inspire you, to show you what's
possible. because, you know, I started
probably not too different than, you
know, you on the other side of the
screen just like trying to figure it
out, watching different tutorials. Um,
you know, maybe you're working a job and
you're trying to figure it out. So, I
just want to inspire you and show you
that it's it's actually possible. It's
not going to be easy. It's not going to
happen overnight. No one's saying that.
Um, well, some gurus online are, but
don't listen to them. Uh, it's possible,
right? And I I like sharing my story and
sharing my journey just to show people
that, right? that they could also
achieve it too, right? Because why can I
and you can't, right? That's the mindset
that you need to have. And along the
way, I've also helped over 120 others do
the same, right? So, if you see these
screenshots on the screen here, these
are all people that I am working with.
And we could dive into some of these
people uh specifically. This is Matias,
Lou, Michael, uh Jason here, Lucas,
Alec, Alitia. And you can see some of
the pages on the uh screen as well. Like
she runs the page Female Evolution. Um
actually crazy story with this page. She
started it less than two months ago and
now it's over 110,000 followers. Um this
is an old screenshot here, but you can
check it now. Uh Brandon, he's also
almost at a million followers as well.
And you could take a look at these other
screenshots here. But um yeah, I work
with some great people. I'm blessed.
I've been able to like put myself in
this position now where I know enough
and have the skills that I could kind of
transfer it down to others uh and help
them out along the journey as well. And
you could also see more uh examples of
this on my highlights on Instagram,
Poshmogga. Uh I'm very transparent with
who I work with. I document all the
results. You know, you could cross
reference a lot of these um people and
the results and the screenshots. I have
them all documented and organized on my
page. But overall, just to put it
simply, like I've spent years uh
figuring things out, trial and error,
experimenting, split testing. Uh I've
invested over $35,000 at this point to
like other courses, mentors, programs,
masterminds, just to get access to
certain information, to get access to
the right people, and just from those
investments as well as my own
experiences and learning lessons. Like
that's how I've managed to put myself in
the position that I am right now, as
well as help the people that I've been
able to help, [snorts] right? And that's
exactly what I'll be going over each
step of the way throughout this free
course on YouTube. Like, you know, from
all the way at the beginning, the humble
beginnings of working at Coldstone,
working the different jobs to, you know,
seeing the first initial results to
being able to scale, turn this into a
full-fledged B business, get to where I
am today, how I've helped others. That's
exactly what I'm going to be breaking
down step by step in this course for you
today. So, stay till the end. Pay
attention. Like I said, grab the the pen
and paper for some notes. Uh cuz we're
about to dive in and it's going to get
serious. All right, so uh yeah, I will
see you in the next module. All right,
now welcome to module two where we'll be
going over the theme page essentials.
It's really important to get clear on
and overview these concepts and
foundations before we move forward with
the next steps. All right, so first and
foremost, what exactly are faceless
Instagram theme pages? Some of you
watching may already know or have a good
idea, others may not. Regardless, it's
super important to get clear on this.
So, theme pages are essentially pages on
Instagram where the owner doesn't show
their face or reveal their identity at
all. It's completely anonymous. What
these pages do is they focus entirely on
a specific theme or topic or niche,
right? And these could be any types of
topics. It could be anything related to
health, fitness, business,
entrepreneurship,
you know, stoicism, mindset. There's all
these different types of niches or
topics which we're going to go over in a
little bit more detail uh in the next
module. Um so some of these that you can
see on the screen here, this is wealth.
This is one of the most prominent theme
pages on Instagram. And you could see in
the bio, it's very descriptive of what
the page is about. The leading source of
all things business, tech, and news. So
anything to do with wealth, uh money,
business, you could see from these pin
posts here, uh Netflix wins bid war
about Warner Bros. richest people who
have ever lived. the most expensive
things uh humans have created. So,
anything that has to do with like uh
money or wealth or you know news or
updates or business or tech, you know,
this is the page for that, right? So,
that's kind of like the topic or theme
that this page revolves around, right?
This one here, chat GPT tricks. So, this
is all about uh AI and more specifically
like with chat GBT open AI. Uh so all
the content whether it's like posts,
reals, any type of content coming from
this page revolves around this topic.
And then this one's also a different
type of AI page, right? Which posts
anything that has to do with AI, right?
And not chat GBT focused, but just AI
focused, bit more broad. And yeah, for
all of these pages, nobody knows who the
owner is and it's completely anonymous.
And think of it about it as like a
personal brand. But traditionally with
personal brands like someone shows their
face and talks about their life and you
know different things that are important
to them which allows them to build an
audience and gain influence and gain a
following. So this is the same exact
concept as that is except the page is
not relying on a specific person or a
specific identity, right? But it is
relying on a specific topic or niche,
right? So you can see different examples
of these on the screen here. And there's
also uh dozens and dozens and dozens of
different types of topics and niches
that people build Instagram faceless
pages around and are able to grow and
monetize. All right, so like I said,
we'll be going over some of those a
little bit more in the next module. So
this is exactly what theme pages are
just to set that straight. All right,
now I want to go over how exactly
faceless Instagram theme pages work. All
right, because it is fairly simple,
although again it's important just to
set this straight from the beginning. So
it is really two main steps, right?
There's not too many moving pieces. It's
not multifaceted. It's not really
complex. It comes down to really just
these two steps here. One is generate
attention, right? And you do this by
posting content, high quality content of
course, which allows you to get views,
get followers, and grow an online
audience, right? Build a platform of
people who have similar interests in
similar things by posting this content.
Right? So you're generating attention.
You're getting the eyeballs. You are
showing up on people's feed, building
the following, and just building your
brand, right? Getting in front of the
eyeballs. And then once you generate
that attention, obviously that's not
enough. That's not going to make us
money. That's not going to make this a
business. We convert that attention,
right? We convert the views, the
followers, the audience into income
through multiple different uh methods or
mechanisms. And this could be like
advertising or paid promos or shoutouts
where other companies or brands or
creators will pay you to get access to
your audience, right? To promote
something in front of them because now
you're sitting on a valuable asset and
people want to get in front of those
eyeballs that you've built. And then
also you could do digital products,
newsletters, you could get paid from
views in many cases. And there's a lot
uh more different ways to monetize that
we'll be going over in the future
modules as well. But this is really the
foundations of how exactly faceless
pages work. You post content which
allows you to get attention, generate
the attention. The more attention you
get, the better, right? The more
eyeballs you have on your page, the
better. And then you convert that
attention. You have specific mechanisms
or methods which you employ onto your
page which allows you to convert those
views, followers, and audience into
income. All right, this is essentially
exactly how the model works. Again, it's
not multifaceted. There's not too many
moving pieces. It really just stems down
to this. So, if you can master these two
main pillars, which we'll be going over
today, you're going to be all set. All
right. And the last thing that I want to
go over is uh why theme pages are the
best opportunity in 2026, best online
opportunity. And obviously, I'm biased.
You know, this is what I do. I've been
doing it full-time and it's been years
now. But at the same time, I genuinely
believe all these things and they're all
true. Like, they're literally rooted in
facts. Like, for example, it's an
anonymous business. Like you don't need
to show your face. You don't need to put
yourself online, your identity. You
don't need to be a cringy influencer and
record everything that you do and really
put yourself out there. There's no need
for any of that, right? And this is one
of the biggest reasons that I got
started with this business. Like
obviously now I show myself and I have a
presence and I talk about sort of what
I've done, my journey, and the lessons
that I've learned, etc. But at the
beginning, this is why I got started
with this business. Like I'm I'm more of
a reserved person. like I didn't want to
have to put myself out there in order to
get the benefits of social media and
like the whole content world. I'd prefer
to be behind the scenes and also the
familiarity with Instagram like everyone
has Instagram and everyone has been
using it probably for years now if not a
decade. So everyone kind of understands
how the platform works and you see
content coming on your feed and what
that looks like and maybe you pay
attention to other theme pages that
you've seen. And all it really comes
down to is making that transition from a
consumer to a producer because you're
already familiar with the platform. You
already have it. You already use it
probably every day. But as a consumer,
you're consuming content. You're
scrolling. You're wasting your time. And
if you check your screen time, you're
probably spending hours a day. But what
are you getting out of it really? Aside
from, you know, messing up your dopamine
levels. So, if you switch from a
consumer to a producer, considering
you're already familiar with the
platform, you could just get the other
side of the spectrum, right? You use the
same exact platform, but instead of
scrolling, you're using it to create as
a creator, a producer, and you could get
the get the benefits of content and
growing an audience and monetizing with
the same exact platform that you're all
familiar with. All right. So, that's
another reason why this is such a great
opportunity. Like me, everyone else,
everyone's familiar with Instagram.
Also, it's very beginner friendly. Like,
it's very simple. We kind of just went
over the model a second ago. It all
comes down to generating attention and
converting it. There's not too many
moving pieces. It's not very like
complex. You don't need to learn
highlevel skills that like take years to
master in order to actually succeed with
this business. And that's what makes
this different compared to like lots of
other businesses that you hear people
talking about online like you know
Amazon FBA, YouTube automation. Like you
have to learn real you know skills that
take a lot of time and aren't easy for
beginners to kind of get started with at
the beginning for those businesses. Also
the low barrier to entry to this
business. You know you don't need any
money to start. You can start a page for
free from scratch today for $0 and all
you need is Wi-Fi and Instagram to do it
right. You don't need anything else.
Literally Instagram and Wi-Fi and some
discipline. It's all it takes to really
get started with this business. Whereas
others out there, you know, you have to
spend like, you know, thousands of
dollars upfront into like, you know,
suppliers or products or inventory or a
team to get started at the beginning
just to get your foot in the door. And
for, you know, someone interested in
business but doesn't have years of
experience, like that's not going to be
the smartest thing to do. Whereas this
one, it's, you know, literally $0.
There's no reason anyone watching this
wouldn't be able to literally start a
theme page tomorrow, right? There's no
there's no barrier to entry. Like I say,
lower barrier to entry, but there's
really no barrier to entry as long as
you have Wi-Fi and the app, of course,
right? And also, theme pages can really
leverage and take advantage of AI. The
process and being able to make progress
with this business has never been
quicker and easier than it is right now.
Now, I'm not saying that this is going
to be super quick and super easy and no
challenges at all and it's going to
happen overnight and that this is a
get-richquick scheme. That is not what
I'm saying. But what I am saying, which
is true, is that this process has never
been quicker and easier than it is right
now. The amount of tools that we have
access to when it comes to creating
content, to tracking the data, to making
monetization a lot more easier makes
this process so much more efficient and
effective and gives us so much leverage
in this whole digital environment. And
that is obviously the future. Like
everyone knows that AI is going to be
huge not in just the next 10 years, but
literally in the next few years. And you
know if AI is coming for your job, you
know, you may as well learn about it so
that you can get the benefits of it in
the whole online space, right? That's
kind of how I think about it. And also
this is not just a business, it's a
passion project as well. So it's kind of
like the best of both worlds because a
lot of other businesses like I mentioned
the ones that I had tried in the past
like Amazon FBA, drop shipping, like
these are very boring businesses in my
experience in my opinion. like it's all
about just finding suppliers and numbers
and comparing different things and
customer service. Like it's it's a
headache. It's not really fun. It's not
really making an impact. I wasn't
intrinsically motivated running these
businesses. Whereas with theme pages,
you get the both best of both worlds.
Not only is it a business so that you
get to monetize and the financial
rewards of it, but it is something
that's genuinely fulfilling and
enjoyable. Like you get to create a
brand about something that you actually
care about and post content and make an
impact on others. Like especially with
the type of brands that I run and the
people that I work with like it's all
like genuinely beneficial stuff like if
it's health or whether it's like faith
and God whether it's motivation whether
it's like business entrepreneurship AI
finance like this is stuff that actually
makes an impact and stuff that people
actually have interest in right so when
you could build a business where you
could kind of have a degree of intrinsic
motivation towards it and enjoy the
process while also getting the backend
monetization and financial compensation
That's where you have the best of both
worlds, which is something that I
believe is very unique to this business
that not many other business have. But
yeah, this is exactly why I believe
theme pages are the best opportunity,
not only right now, but just moving
forward over the next years. And also
now at this point, we've gone over
exactly how theme pages work and what
exactly they are in the first place. So
now that these foundations are set in
terms of the overview, we can now move
on to the next steps, which is the
foundations of the actual first steps of
building the business. All right, so
let's get straight into that next
module. All right. Now, welcome to
module three. In this one, we're going
to be going over how to properly set the
foundations for your theme page
business. That way, you could go about
this the right way straight from the
beginning. This is super super important
because the same way if you're building
a tower, you need to make sure the
foundations are solid because everything
else that you're building on top of that
relies on that foundation. So, if that
foundation is weak, everything else that
you build on top of that is going to be
unstable and could collapse, right? The
same applies to this business and really
any other business. We want to make sure
the foundations are strong to begin
with, not weak, because everything else
that you're going to be learning
throughout this free course is going to
build upon this foundation. All right?
And the first step of properly building
these foundations and building blocks is
picking a niche, right? And a niche
again is just a topic or a theme. It's
what your whole page is going to revolve
around ultimately. And in terms of what
exactly a niche is, it's just a specific
topic focused on serving a clearly
defined audience. Okay, pretty
straightforward. And the reason why it's
important to pick a niche as well is
because choosing a niche helps you stand
out, right? It gives people a reason to
want to follow your page rather than
someone else's, right? So, it shows that
you're actually about something. You
know, if you stand for everything, you
stand for nothing. So, you need to um
get a little bit more specific, attract
a specific type of audience, right? Um
people need to feel like this page is
for them. They need to feel like it's
targeted towards them. And I'm sure
you've heard the quote, um, if you try
to serve everyone, you end up serving no
one, right? So, you don't want to be
posting about all these different types
of topics because then it loses its
substance. It loses its meaning. And
these things, standing out and
attracting the right uh, audience is
going to allow you to monetize more
effectively, right? I'm sure you can
imagine it's a lot easier to monetize
when you have an audience of a group of
people who have things in common,
similar pain, similar interests,
compared to just a random audience with
random people, right? So, that's what a
niche is. That's why it's important to
pick a niche and most importantly, how
do you pick a niche? Right? This is
something that I know a lot of people
have trouble with at the beginning. They
don't even know where to start. Uh
there's so many different directions to
go in and they get confused and overall
just don't know how to go about it. And
obviously, we don't want that, right?
So, as you can see on the screen here, I
have a little visual which goes over how
to find your perfect profitable niche.
All right? And to find it, it's
essentially the intersection between
your interests or your passions, where
there's proof of concept or proven
demand, and three, which is where
there's a high quality audience, right?
A top tier, first world country
audience. The intersection between these
three variables is where you could find
your perfect profitable niche. And
firstly, the reason why it's important
that the niche you choose is something
that you're interested in is because
one, it's just more effective by nature
because you're going to already have
some knowledge. you're going to have
some interest in the topic, which allows
you to create content that is more
valuable and interesting towards people
of the niche because you kind of already
understand what would resonate with them
compared to someone who's completely
foreign to it, right? Also, it just
makes it a lot more sustainable because
when you choose something that you're
interested in, something that you have
intrinsic motivation in, it makes it a
lot more likely that you'll stay
consistent and it makes it feel
enjoyable throughout the process, right?
rather than work. You know, if you
choose a random topic just because, you
know, it has proven demand and attracts
a high quality audience, but you don't
know anything about it and you're not
interested in it, not only are you not
going to be able to create high-quality
content that resonates within the
viewers of that niche, but it makes it a
lot tougher for you to like stay
consistent and enjoy the process of
building the page. All right? Then two,
the reason why it's important that the
niche you choose has proof of concept
and proven demand is because we need to
see that there is established other
pages in this niche that proves that
there's a big enough group of people out
there on Instagram that is interested
enough in this topic. Right? So if you
find something that you're interested in
that also attracts a high quality
audience, but you can't see any examples
of like other pages who have grown an
audience revolving around this topic,
maybe it's not the best option, right?
Because just because you're interested
in typewriters and it tracks a high
quality audience who's sophisticated
doesn't mean that you can build a
successful page around it. Considering I
doubt you're going to be able to find um
any successful huge typewriter page, you
know, if someone has seen one, please
prove me wrong. I want to see it. Uh and
then three, the audience quality. This
is super super important because if you
pick something that you're interested in
and also see that there's other pages
who have proven that this works and that
there's demand but attracts a lowquality
audience, people from maybe third world
countries or people who are just more
interested in being entertained rather
than educated or learning anything, then
uh it is not the end of the world. It
just uh minimizes the monetization
opportunities that you can get. So
there's just less overall that you can
do with it. All right. And what I have
down here, guys, is a niche checklist.
So these are questions you should ask
yourself that by answering show and
validate whether the niche that you
chose is actually a good option or not.
All right. So firstly, am I genuinely
interested in this topic or at least
curious enough to stay consistent? So
this has to do with interest. Can I find
other similar pages who've proven to
grow and build an audience about this
topic? So this has to do with proof of
concept and proven demand. Can this
niche make money? Does this topic
attract high-quality viewers? This has
to do with building a high- quality
audience. And this last one, can I
consistently and feasibly create content
about this topic? This is also important
to consider. You just want to make sure
that the niche that you choose doesn't
require super sophisticated or complex
uh content style. For example, you know,
maybe you've seen these like gym pages
where it like, you know, shows animation
of someone doing a workout and like all
the muscle fibers and stuff and it's
like a very complex like animated style
even though it's a theme page. like
maybe something like that, you know, you
shouldn't um you need to consider when
choosing your niche, right? You don't
want to like pick a niche just to figure
out like that's the only way to grow
within it. Um but keep in mind most
niches you're not going to have to worry
about that. Most content styles are
actually very very simple and easy to
recreate. But just something to keep in
mind. All right. And if you can check
each of these off, you are good to go.
All right. So, you want to make sure
that each of these are checked off
because these have to do with the three
variables that we discussed earlier when
it comes to picking your perfect
profitable niche. All right. Something
that is really important as well that I
want to go over before we move on is the
difference between entertainment focused
niches which attract lowquality low
intent audience versus value focused
niches which attract highquality or high
intent audience. All right. So, for
example, some examples of entertainment
focused niches are like memes or pranks
or car crashes, catching predators. I'm
sure you guys have seen those pages,
etc. Like pages like this, you know,
even though, for example, you might be
interested in it or it has proof of
concept, proven demand, you know,
there's people clearly interested in it
as well. It doesn't attract the right
audience, right? You're just going to
attract like no specific audience. It
could be from like 13-year-olds all the
way to like 80-year-old grandmas and
they just want to be entertained and
they don't have any intent to like
learn. They're just low intent audience.
You don't want to build any audience
like that. Like I said, you could still
technically build these pages and there
might be some opportunities for you to
monetize still, but it's just going to
be a lot less compared to the
opportunities that you'll get if you
build a B a value focused niche, right?
And a lot of people always ask me like,
you know, what niche that I suggest to
them. And I don't like just giving
people specific niches even though I'm
happy to give suggestions. You know, I
want you guys to go through this process
and this framework of pick picking your
profitable niche, right? Really thinking
it through. Um, but some examples of
value focused niches are like finance,
investing, AI, business, stoicism,
fitness, health, mindset, faith, etc.
So, these are all niches that have proof
of concept. They have proven demand.
They attract a high quality audience.
The only thing left is you just want to
make sure that you're actually
interested and send topic. Right? So
that is exactly how you can pick your
perfect profitable niche. Now let's move
on to the niche research. Now niche
research is very important. Essentially
the whole objective here is to get more
familiar with your niche before you go
ahead and actually start building out
your page. Right? So, like understanding
what different successful and
established theme pages in your niche
look like, what they're doing, and just
getting some inspiration and ideas that
you could grab from when it comes to
building out your own page, right? That
way, you're going into it with some
context, with a point of reference
rather than going into it blindly,
right? So, here's how you could do this
effectively in three simple steps. So,
firstly, what you could do is search
keywords or hashtags relevant to your
niche into the Instagram search bar. So,
for example, if your niche is business,
you could look up business,
entrepreneurship, founders, CEOs, Steve
Jobs, Elon Musk into the search bar on
Instagram. And what will happen is it'll
populate you with different pages and
content uh relevant to these words,
right? And then this will allow you to
find some pages that hopefully you like
and get inspiration from and maybe want
your page to kind of be like as you
build it. Um, and then you could note
down these pages and also check their
following list to find more similar
pages. So, most of the time when you
find a page that you like, that is high
quality that you get inspiration from,
if you check their following list, most
likely they'll be following like maybe
20 to 100 different pages also in your
niche. That way, you could kind of just
search through those pages and it makes
the research a whole lot easier rather
than having to find them from scratch
each time. Uh, keep in mind some pages
you find might only be following like
zero people or two people or five
people. So, it won't be as helpful, but
most pages are uh following many other
successful pages within your their niche
and they kind of already done the
research for you. So, it could be super
helpful. And then also keep in mind over
time Instagram will understand your
interests and present you similar
content in your feed later down the
line. Right? This makes the whole
research process a whole lot easier.
That way, all you have to do is go into
your reals feed or your explore feed and
you're going to see uh other pages in
your niche just like that. All right.
So, once you find these pages, what I
suggest you do is create three separate
lists and note down the pages that you
find into first a list of small pages 10
to 100k followers, medium pages, 100 to
500k followers, and big pages, which is
500k plus followers. So, organize them
into these different uh categories of
size uh sizes. And then what I suggest
you do after that, the most important
part here is check stats of each p uh
page on socialblade.com.
This is a free website, a free tool,
which essentially how it works is you
could just type in the username of any
Instagram page and it will show you the
statistics of it. It'll show you just
the most simple stuff like how many
followers they're gaining per day, how
many they g gained over the last 14
days, the last uh month, how many times
they're posting per day, just any other
helpful information uh that you can take
so that you can filter out the dead
pages, right? So, uh if there's pages
that you find that are like losing
followers or they're like barely
growing, uh you might want to just like
filter those ones out. You don't want to
be keeping your eye on them. It won't be
helpful. and just reorganize this list
to make the fastest growing pages at the
top. Right? So that you could take all
the different pages that you found
through your research, organize them
into these lists, and then once you do
that, you could also organize them from
the fastest growing to the slowest. And
those ones that are in like, you know,
the top 10 of the fastest growing, those
are the ones that I suggest you keep
your eye on the most because obviously
they're doing something right and you
can take some inspiration from that
which can help you build out your own
page. All right? And also what I suggest
you do is once you have this, you know,
list of top pages, fastest growing ones,
analyze them, right? Because like I
said, they're doing something right and
there's something that you could learn
from them. So just take a look what like
what's their username, what's their
logo, what's their bio, like what's
their color scheme? Is it like a black
and white color scheme? Is it like black
and a different color? Is it, you know,
just pay attention like what what colors
is it? What what does their branding
look like? What kind of positioning do
they have? uh what [snorts] type of
content they're posting, how often
they're posting, what their captions
look like, etc. Overall, just kind of
evaluate and analyze these pages. Uh
it's going to be super helpful when it
comes to building out your own page.
That way, you're kind of educated going
into it. You have an idea of what works,
what the biggest pages are doing. Again,
that way you're not going into it
blindly. All right? And I'm going to
emphasize this really quick right here.
Do not skip this phase. I know some
people do because, you know, they may
think of it as like boring or taking
extra time and, you know, just
unnecessary research, but that's not the
case at all. This is actually a
foundational step here, right? This is
going to really set the foundations the
right way so that when you do go ahead
and build out your page, uh, you know
what you're doing and you have an idea
of what other successful pages look like
rather than going into it blindly,
right? So, don't skip this step. Um,
it's important. Okay, now let's move on
to profile optimization here. Okay, and
really the main objective is to maximize
follower conversion rate. Okay, so think
of
your Instagram profile as this is the
analogy I like to use like an Amazon
sales page, right? Right? When you click
on an Amazon sales page, a company has
listed that and their whole goal is to
convert as many viewers of that product
into buyers as possible, right? And your
goal as a theme page is very similar,
but it's to convert as many viewers of
your profile into followers as possible.
Right? So, if you think about how Amazon
does this, like they have their product
images, they have the name of the
product, they have a description of the
product, the customer reviews, etc.
These are all different elements that
are supposed to be there to persuade you
to go ahead and buy the product or try
and persuade you as much as possible to
buy the product. Whereas with your theme
page, you are working with different
elements here to convince and persuade
the viewer to follow your page, right?
To actually want to be a part of
whatever you're building. And these four
elements are the username, the logo, the
bio, and the SEO name. And if you see
SEO name and you don't know what that
means, uh, hang in there. It's it's very
simple. You'll see what I mean in a
second, but these are the four elements
that you're working with. So, you want
to optimize each of these as much as
possible. That way, you convert as many
viewers of your profile into followers
as possible. Because if you don't have a
optimized profile and like your username
doesn't look as good as it could be,
your logo isn't as professional as it
could be, your bio is, you know, not
doing what it's supposed to do, then
people will be clicking on your profile
and you'll be losing out on these
followers, right? And we don't want
that, right? Okay, we want to convert as
many as possible. So yeah, let's dive
straight into the first element here,
which is the username. So here are some
rules of thumb to keep in mind. So
ideally, you want the username to be
short and sweet. You want it to be easy
to remember. You ideally want to avoid
any periods or underscores or numbers
and also aim to avoid any grammatical
errors, right? You just want a clean,
high quality, original username without,
you know, any extra stuff or grammatical
errors, any of that, right? and you want
it to be memorable. Okay, in an ideal
world, you can follow these rules here.
In reality, it is not going to be the
end of the world if you can't follow
each and every one of these rules. Like
if you have to make the name a little
longer, if you had add if you have to
add a dot in there, you know, there's
plenty of successful pages who have
grown an audience and have done well by
making a name or having a name like
that. But just ideally aim to avoid it,
right? See if you can. Okay. Now, I also
want to go over a professional username
format that can kind of get you some
ideas and get the ball rolling for you
when it comes to creating or landing on
a available high-quality username. All
right? And the format or the formula is
just as simple as two keywords. Okay?
So, the first keyword, you want it to be
relevant to your niche. So, if we're
sticking with the business niche, uh
some examples are like entrepreneur,
business, CEO, founder, capital, scale,
owner, visionary, etc. You could also
just get some synonyms of these words
here to find other similar words to get
more creative. And then [snorts] the
second keyword could be a noun or an
adjective which aligns with your brand.
So for example, network, collective,
empire, mogul, elite, edge, lab, club,
society, nation, hub, kingdom, etc. And
then again, you can find more synonyms
if needed. And what you'll aim to do is
combine them together to see what looks
or sounds good, right? So, you know,
entrepreneur collective or business
kingdom or scale nation or visionary
society, like just plug and play with
the two keywords and see what sticks,
right? See what looks good. And also
keep in mind, most names that you try at
first aren't going to be available. You
know, most of the ones that people think
of off the top of their head, uh,
someone has already thought of that. But
be patient and keep trying until you
find available options. And I assure
you, you know, I've built enough pages
myself and have worked with enough
people to know that there's always great
available usernames still out there. No
matter what niche that you choose, as
long as you're patient, as long as you
try to get a little bit creative and you
keep kind of testing and plugging and
playing and seeing what's available, you
will be able to land on a good one. I
assure you that. All right. And also,
what we could do is we could utilize and
leverage AI to do the thinking for us,
right? That way we don't have to waste
time brainstorming too long um for this
step here. Right? So what you could do
is use this prompt that I have on the
screen. You know, I'm building a premium
faceless Instagram theme page in the
blank niche. Uh and then I'm not going
to read the rest off here, but it just
gives it some uh of the rules that I
discussed earlier. You could also kind
of tell it to, you know, uh what sort of
tone that you're looking for, what else
you're looking for. Or you could just
continue prompting it and see what it
gives you. All right. And if you want
access to this prompt, that way you
could just simply copy and paste it.
Follow me at Poshamoga on Instagram and
just DM me the word GPT and I'll send it
to you. That way you could just copy and
paste it. All right. And then when you
use this, keep in mind obviously the
first batch that it gives you, maybe
those aren't going to be the best. Maybe
those are great, but they're not
available. So just keep going back and
forth with it. Giving it give it some
feedback. Maybe show it some of your
competitor pages that you like, for
example. And I assure you, like I said,
you're going to be able to find a good
available one in no time. All right.
Now, also, just to give you some
examples of good usernames and bad
usernames. Uh, good ones would look
something like this. Natural Circle,
Neurog Globe, Female, Evolution. Uh, you
know, these are examples from different
niches, but you can see they're short,
sweet, clean, original, memorable, uh,
just solid usernames. And you can see
this one here uh got a little creative
because you're blending the last uh
letter of female into the first letter
of evolution, right? [snorts] So that's
how you can maybe uh think in creative
ways like that to find available
options. Okay? And then some bad
usernames, ones that you want to stay
away from. Don't want yours looking
anything like these. Healthy_mind_2.0,
discipline.mmaster1,
the motivationhub 627. Like you could
see all of these, they just don't give
off that professional highquality
aesthetic or vibe to the page. And we
don't want our viewers to have that sort
of perception of our page, right? We
want to be a high quality professional
brand. So that's why you want to avoid
like the underscores and the numbers,
uh, etc. or keeping it or having it too
long like this. So, the last thing that
I want to go over regarding usernames is
the proper way to check username
availability because some people do this
in other ways which aren't the most
accurate and it could just kind of be
frustrating. So, they may check
thirdparty platforms to see whether
there's a available name or not. Those
aren't always accurate. Also, people try
just looking up the name on Instagram
and if they see it, they think it's not
available. Whereas, if they don't see
it, they think it is available. But
that's not always the case for many
other reasons. So, here's the right way
to do it, right? Save you some headache.
So, just click the name at the top of
your profile. Then click add Instagram
account. Then click create new account
and then type in the username that you
ideally want. And if it's red, it means
it's not available. It's already taken.
Whereas if it's green, that means it is
available, right? And then you can just
go ahead and create the page from there.
So this is the proper way to check it,
the most effective way uh rather than
the other ways. Okay? So, keep uh you
know testing. You're probably going to
have to go back and forth a couple times
to land on a green check mark here, but
as soon as you do and you're happy with
the username, go ahead, secure it, and
we can move on to the next steps here.
All right, which is actually going to be
step two of the profile optimization,
which is the logo. And some more rules
of thumb here. Keep it clean and sleek,
simplistic, and minimalistic. Don't over
complicate it, right? Super important. I
see some people sometimes having super
sophisticated and elaborate logos. They
think that's what makes it better.
That's not the case. You know, the more
simplistic the better. Just like a
simple, bold, you know, small, simple
logo. All right. And just to get you
started on this as well, get the wheels
turning for you. Uh here are some
professional logo formats. So, the most
common ones, the ones that you'll
probably see when doing your niche
research as well. So first is just the
simple uh symbol or icon right some
examples of this is uh like this for
motivation society it's just like a M
and a S in like a little icon format and
then entrepreneur archived these are
just literally letters of the brand uh
of the brand right E and A just put next
to each other as a little glow effect on
a colored background very simple right
so this is just a symbol or icon type
logo style you could also do the
username as text logo style So, some
examples of this is like business AI
right here where it's literally just the
text and then at the end there's like
this little background behind the AI and
then this one millionaire guide
millionaire up top and then guide a
little bigger under with a color. It's
just as simple as the username. So,
that's another proven format. And then
lastly, uh you could do both. So, you
could have a icon symbol and the
username together as the logo, right?
All right. So, this is Female Evolution
again right here, uh, with like this
little icon here with the text written
out and then natural circle where it's
like the text written out as the
username and then another icon or symbol
to go along with the brand. All right,
so these are three uh reliable proven uh
logo formats that you could get some
inspiration from. All right. Now,
something that's also important to keep
in mind is color psychology. So what you
could do is reference this little chart
here because you know colors
subconsciously stimulate different
feelings and emotions within people
which is kind of interesting. uh like
for example blue uh is trust that's why
like all the you know financial type of
platforms and social medias are blue
like stripe is blue PayPal is blue um
Facebook is blue LinkedIn is blue you
know these are things that you know uh
elicit trust and security within the
customer right so it's very interesting
um I suggest taking a look at this when
deciding kind of like your brand colors
and what colors to include in your logo
for example
>> [snorts]
>> um just to kind of make sure it all
aligns and makes sense uh with the type
of page that you're trying to build and
the niche that you're going to be in.
Okay. Outside of that, in terms of
actually creating the logo, you could
use Canva. It's a free tool. I'm sure a
lot of you guys are already familiar
with it. Um and they have templates that
you can kind of work off of which are
very helpful to create a high quality
logo. And also you could use AI, of
course, all reliable, right? Uh, and
then there's another prompt here that
you could use and kind of just adjust it
to your liking. Um, I'm going to zoom
out here so you could take a screenshot
if you'd like. But, you know, AI is
very, very, very good actually of
creating logos, especially if you prompt
it the right way. And it's very time
efficient as well, right? That way, we
don't have to waste any time. So, this
is a good starting point. The same with
the username. Maybe it's not perfect
straight off off the bat and you have to
like, you know, give it some more um
context and tips and it'll just give you
some more examples and just keep going
back and forth until it gives you
something that you're perfectly
satisfied with. All right. And now I'm
also going to go over a quick tutorial
showing you uh both of these ways with
Canva and Chat GBT. So, let's get into
it. All right. What's going on, guys?
I'm going to show you how quick and easy
it is to cook up a high quality logo
with AI in literally just a few minutes.
All right, so you can see I've got chat
GPT opened. I went ahead and copy and
pasted that prompt um into Chat GPT and
pressed enter. All I did before is just
changed the uh little variables here.
So, I wanted it to be in the health and
longevity niche. I went with the
username longevity lab. I'm pretty sure
it's already existing page, but I I just
like the name, so I went with it for the
example. And then I just changed the the
other little variables. You know, I
wanted it to be minimal and bold. You
know, I wanted to be emerald green
color. I think that goes well with the
niche. You know, green has to do with
growth and health and natural. And um
yeah, I just clicked enter and this is
what it spit out for me literally on the
first try. And out of these three, I
like this one on the left the most. I
think it's by far the best. Uh longevity
has to, you know, a lot to do with DNA
uh in most cases. is I mean I'm not an
expert, but I thought this DNA strand
looked cool. And then um it's got the
little arrow there. The font looks nice.
You know, it's got the text and the
symbol, one of the formats that we
discussed earlier. [snorts] And um yeah,
I just said I like the one on the left
the most. Upload it separately so I
could download it and then it um
uploaded it here. So I downloaded it.
And yeah, I mean obviously it's not
going to work out that quickly and
easily um each time like literally
getting it on the first try. But what
you could always do is just go back and
forth with the AI, you know, give it
more feedback based off what it's giving
you, so it could kind of customize it
and narrow it down to exactly what you
want. And in no time, you'll get exactly
what you want, a clean, high quality
logo, you know, without any really work
or graphic design skills on your end at
all, which is really cool. All right.
[snorts] And then even if it spits
something out that you like, but you
know, you want to make some manual
custom changes yourself, what you could
do is just uh put it into Canva, as you
could see I did here. And let's just
say, for example, you want to make like
a little change such as, you know, the
the color, for example. You could go up
to color and, you know, maybe change the
color, make it something like a little
brighter, something that pops up against
the the black background a bit easier.
And, uh, yeah, you could just kind of
play around with it and, you know, see
what you like the most. But,
>> [snorts]
>> um, that's another way you could make it
even more custom towards your own liking
liking with some manual changes is
starting off with, um, AI. Maybe it
gives you exactly what you want. Great.
or maybe it gives you really close to
what you want and then you could just go
into Canva, finish off the job. Um, but
also if you guys uh want another way to
do it outside of just AI and um you know
making changes, you could just do it
from Canva directly. Um you could just
click on you know create a project and
then you could just type in like logo
for example. Let's just go with that
and then um let's see. It's going to
give you a blank template here. And
let's just go, you know, health.
Let's see what uh template it gives us.
And then you could just scroll. You
could see what options, you know, it
gives you a bunch of like little
templates here that you could work off
of. And it's just a good starting point,
right? Because obviously if you don't
have graphic design skills, it's hard to
have a starting point. But let's just
say you like this one. Um you could just
click and change all the variables
yourself. So let's just say we want to
go with long jev
video
lab. You know maybe this looks a little
small. You want to make it bigger.
You know something like that.
And also maybe the color you don't like
this other color. You want to make it
something like this.
And yeah as simple as that. You could
download that or you can, you know,
change the background. For example,
um, if you go with the black background,
you know, maybe you want to make this
one a little bit lighter
like this.
And then boom, you've got another high
quality logo in literally just a couple
minutes. So, that's another way to do it
as well. Uh, maybe you could try both.
Uh, come up with like a few different
drafts or samples and see which one you
like the best from there. Uh but yeah
guys, just wanted to demonstrate how
easy it is and how quickly you could
come up with a highquality logo for your
theme page. Um and yeah, that's about
it. Give it a try and I wish you best of
luck. Okay, so now that you know how to
create a high quality logo with AI or
Canva very quickly, I just want to
quickly go over a couple different good
examples of logos and bad examples
before we move on. So these are good
ones here. Uh these are all just the
simple uh icon symbol type logos. just
very simplistic, minimalistic, not over
complicating it like I mentioned
earlier. Uh so these are good examples
to get inspiration from. Whereas these
ones, not so good, right? So like this
one, there's just too much going on. It
just doesn't look professional. There's
like, you know, uh the letters here and
then there's two different icons and
then there's a white ring and
everything's very big. And this one
here, um you know, it's just kind of
small, uh text here. and the blue little
icon above it. It's just not a bold type
icon. It doesn't stand out. You know, if
you're looking at this logo from, you
know, a small little corner on your
screen, which is where most people see
your logo, you're not even going to
really know what you're looking at. And
this one right here just it it just
doesn't look good. The symbol is too
big. Um, it's got this like little line
through the H and it's kind of
offcentered with the second circle here.
Uh, just not ideal. All right. Also, too
much going on. So, here are some good
examples to get inspiration from, and
these are some bad ones to hopefully try
to avoid. All right, now let's move on
to the third variable of profile
optimization, which is the bio. Now, the
bio is a lot more important than most
people realize. And if your bio isn't
optimized, you're going to be missing
out on a lot of followers that you could
have had otherwise if it was optimized.
All right, [snorts] so here's how to
optimize it. So, you want to make sure
it's clear and concise. So, you don't
want there to be anything that's
unnecessary in there or like fluff or
filler. Eliminate all of that. You want
to make sure it's specific and targeted,
so not generic. Uh, typically three
lines long. Uh, include emojis or icons,
typically at the beginning of each line.
I'll show you what that looks like in a
second. Also, you could use a line or a
little dot here to separate each line.
And also, make sure that each word
begins with a capital letter. All right.
Again, you know, it's not the end of the
world if you don't follow all these
guidelines here. uh like for example a
capital letter one or whether you use
this or this. But you definitely
regardless want to make sure it is clear
and concise, specific and targeted and
typically three lines, especially if
you're starting from scratch. Okay?
[snorts]
And of course, we've got another AI
prompt that you guys can use here. Uh
I'm not going to read it again, but uh
I'm going to zoom out so you can take a
screenshot if you'd like. That way you
could use it for yourself. And of
course, as always, just customize it
towards your niche and to your
preference. and maybe it doesn't spit
out the most perfect bio uh right off
the bat. Maybe it just sounds uh generic
and robotic. So, just keep going back
and forth the AI or at least let it give
you the structure and then you could
build off of it after. It'll just make
this a lot more efficient. Okay. And
here are some mistakes that you should
avoid. Some big mistakes that I see a
lot of people have with their bios. The
first mistake that I see people make is
their bio is too vague and ambiguous or
just generic where there's nothing
unique about it and there's nothing
about the bio which is distinguishing
your page compared to like other pages
in your niche, right? You don't want to
just be put into the category of all
these other pages because your bio is
just super general and doesn't make your
page stand out or you're not providing
any unique value, right? And it's hard
to do that if you're staying very vague
and generic and surface level, right?
But at the same time, you also want to
make sure it's not too specific or too
targeted to where you're casting it too
small of a net. But you also want don't
want to cast too wide of a net to where
people click on it and they feel like
the page is not even geared towards
them. So you want to find that happy
medium in between. Okay. Also, a mistake
I see people make is they have too much
fluff or clutter in their bio. You know,
every word in your bio should be
intentional. You know, there shouldn't
be any fluff or unnecessary words in
there. Uh, it should be as clear and
concise as possible. So, make sure of
that. And then also, a mistake I see is
the lack of a strong CTA, which is a
call to action. So, people aren't
telling their followers what to do in
that third line. I suggest if you're
starting a page out from scratch, your
third line should be a follow CTA where
it says like follow for XYZ benefit,
right? Or join for or you know become a
part of and then having like an arrow
for example pointing down to the follow
button. Even something as simple as a
simple CTA like one of the ones that I
just mentioned increases follower
conversion a decent amount. It's not
going to be a huge amount, but a decent
amount because it's just a subconscious
kind of cue or reminder to the viewer of
your page to actually take an action,
right? To actually follow the page.
Whereas, if you didn't have it, they're
a lot less likely to actually go ahead
and take the action of following, which
is what we want as a theme page owner,
right? So, make sure you have a strong
uh CTA in your bio. At the beginning, it
should be a follow CTA, and then later
down the line, you can make it a CTA for
something else, right? All right, like
DM me the word XYZ or uh look in the bio
for XYZ. You you know what I mean? But
at the beginning, follow CTA. Now,
before we move on, I want to go over
some good bio examples and some bad
ones. So, here's one for Kingdom
Enlighten. This is in the God, Faith,
Christianity niche. So, this one says,
"Christian content to help strengthen
your faith. Grow in truth and hope
through God's word." And then the CTA is
get your free 30-day prayer guide.
because he's bigger. But if he was
starting out, I would suggest having it
be like a follow CTA, like follow for
XYZ. But these two first lines are very
very strong. You know, this first line
here gives a very good idea as to what
the page is actually about, what the
viewer could expect by following the
page. And then this is kind of like a
benefit that's associated with that,
right? So this is like the first line,
what they can expect, you know, who the
page is for, and then two, like what you
actually gain or benefit by following
the page. And here's another one,
women's motive. This is like sort of the
women's mindset, motivation, empowerment
niche. This says for women rising into
their power. So, it directly kind of
calls out and targets the exact type of
year that she's looking for. Uh, so they
feel called out and they feel like
they're in the right place. Uh,
standards, boundaries, self-worth. So,
this is just some of the uh topics of
some of her best performing content. And
she has an arrow that says follow for
daily feminine power talks, right? So,
doesn't have to be anything
sophisticated or complex, just a very
simple CTA that motivates the viewer to
actually go ahead and take an action and
follow. All right, so those are good
examples. And here are some bad ones.
Uh, this page, motivation speech says,
"Mastering mindset for success, helping
you become the best version of yourself.
Join the journey." And they have like
their email at the bottom here. Uh, just
not good. Uh, very general, very uh,
surface level. You know, this is just a
bunch of uh cliche things to say like
helping you become the best version of
yourself. Join the journey like the
journey of what, you know what I mean?
And the best version of yourself for
what? It's just very vague and uh not
specific enough. It doesn't really make
anyone feel targeted when they click on
the page as opposed to these for
example. Then this one here, spreading
motivation through mindset here to
inspire, empower, and leave a legacy
that lasts. Let's rise together. So this
one, it just isn't even structured
properly. You can see these ones here at
least are on different lines. they have
three lines or this one has four but
this one is just like one sort of like
paragraph format type of you know
multiple sentences with no real no real
structure. So that's number one. And uh
again very general spreading motivation
through mindset like that doesn't make
this page stand out or distinguish
itself compared to other pages in the
niche that have like similar bios.
Right? So these are bad examples. Here
are good examples. Now let's move on to
the last variable for profile
optimization which is the SEO name. And
just for clarity SEO stands for search
engine optimization. And it's the line
that is right here where it's under the
username and next to the logo. It's
typically three keywords. Um, if you pay
attention to your niche research, maybe
you've already seen this pattern. But
really, the whole purpose technically of
this name right here is for ranking. So,
that's all what SEO is. It's just a
ranking system. So when someone goes
onto Instagram, goes into the search bar
and types in like discipline or mindset
for example, pages that have those
keywords in this SEO name section will
populate and rank on that person's uh
screen after they type in those keywords
and press search. So that's the
technical reason for it. Aside from
that, the other main purposes is that it
kind of just gives some more context
about what the page is about and like
what the main themes of it are. So this
is like a motivation page and here it
just kind of clarifies that discipline,
mindset, motivation and then you have
the bio kind of on top of that to give
more clarity and also this is probably
the least important of the four uh
profile optimization variables that
we've gone over because most of the
followers that you're going to gain and
the biggest way people find your page is
through the reals feed anyways, right?
Like from your content rather than
people typing in search terms, right?
Right? So, it could bring in some extra
followers and give your viewers an idea
of what they can expect about what your
page is about and like what they'll see
when following, but it's really not that
important. And but at the same time, you
don't want to get it wrong. You want to
get it right. So, here are the uh main
SEO name formats that you could get
inspiration from. The first one is what
I had suggested earlier or what I
mentioned, which is the three keywords.
So, this one's like a motivation page.
So, their keywords are inspiration,
mindset, success. This is like a
neuroscience page. So it says
neuroscience, brain health, psychology.
And just again for context, if someone
were to type in brain health or
psychology or neuroscience in their
search bar, you know, maybe this page
might pop up towards the top, for
example. All right. Next up is the
username plus one to two keywords
format. So this is where you literally
kind of copy over your username first
and then follow it by two more keywords
or one or two more that relate to your
niche. So like this one here or this one
where it says mindset bible and then
there's a line. It says motivation. Uh
so this is another format. And then the
third one is literally just the
username. So you can see this page 11
stoic. The SEO name just says 11 stoic
and has like this little trademark copy
and paste simple symbol. And then this
one entrepreneur archive literally just
has the name entrepreneur archived here.
So if you're starting out from scratch,
I suggest uh one of these two here
formats. Whereas typically you'll see
more established pages uh have this in
their SEO name. uh if not one of these
two, but usually only established pages
have only their username. It doesn't
make sense for a new page to have only
their username. All right, so [snorts]
those are the three formats that you get
inspiration from. Also, uh you could
reference your niche research, see what
other successful established pages in
your niche are doing. And keep in mind,
you could only change this once every 14
days. So if you change it to something,
you have to like wait for 14 days before
you can make any adjustments. So, make
sure you get it right like when you
change it at the beginning. Uh, make
sure there's no spelling mistakes and
also I would suggest having a capital
letter at the start of each word, right?
No lowercase. So, that is everything you
need to know regarding all four profile
optimizations variables to essentially,
as I mentioned, convert as many viewers
onto your page to followers as possible.
Okay, so now that we've gone over that,
let's go over how to properly warm up
your page. So, at this point, you've
picked your niche, you've done the
research, you've created your page,
branded it, optimized the different
variables of your profile, and now it's
important to make sure that you actually
warm up the page properly and that you
send positive signals and green flags to
Instagram and the algorithm to get you
prepared for the next steps. Some people
mess up in this stage and they do
certain things which make Instagram kind
of detect the page as maybe a bot or
suspicious activity. And these are not
things that you want to have happen to
you in this stage, right? To get
yourself ready for the next steps. So,
I'm just going to go over the key points
just so you know what to be aware of and
kind of what to do in this stage once
you actually create the page and how to
warm it up properly. So, first and
foremost, just act like a human and
engage like a regular user. All right?
Avoid any spammy, suspicious user
activity, right? So, don't just go in,
create the page, and start like changing
everything right away and liking a bunch
of content and saving a bunch of stuff
and commenting on every post you see and
copy and pasting stuff. This should be
common sense. Just don't do that because
Instagram might detect your page as like
some sort of bot or spam activity and we
don't want that, right? We don't want
that. And also when it comes to warming
up your page, essentially aim to curate
and train your algorithm to only show
you content within your niche, right? So
when you create a fresh new page and you
go and check the reals feed or the
explore feed, it's just going to be a
bunch of random like brain rock content,
right? So you kind of want to over time,
this isn't going to happen right away,
but over time kind of start consuming
content and trying to find content that
is as close to your niche as possible.
Obviously, you're not going to find
exactly what you're looking for towards
the beginning, but let's just say you're
in the fitness niche. Just keep
scrolling and as soon as you see
anything fitness related, just like the
video, maybe save it. Put your phone
down and kind of let let your phone
watch it like a few times over so that
Instagram sees that you like that type
of content. And maybe click interested
on it and keep scrolling. Next time
maybe you see another fitness video,
which it might take a little bit of time
at the beginning, do the same thing. And
what's going to happen over time is
Instagram is going to get a better idea
of like what your preferences are and
what type of content you engage with,
what type of content you want to see,
and it will begin populating that type
of content on your feed, right? So
again, this is a process that doesn't
happen overnight. Typically takes like a
few days to a week to really get this
down. But uh this serves two main
purposes. So, one, it gives Instagram a
better idea obviously of your interests
and what you like and what your
preferences are. That way, when you
begin posting, Instagram already kind of
knows what you're interested in and will
most likely share content, share your
content to a group of people who have
similar interests as you, right? That
way, you could potentially get some
initial traction or engagement off the
bat once you make your first posts,
right? So, that's kind of one of the
main purposes here. The second major
purpose is it's going to make research a
whole lot easier for content. We're
going to go over this into a lot more
depth later down the line, but once you
populate and curate your algorithm to
only show you content and successful
viral pages in your niche, it just
becomes very easy to dive deeper into
the niche research, understand which
pages are doing well, what content is
doing well, and allows you to kind of
see that every time you open your phone,
like kind of on autopilot. That way you
don't have to go out of your way each
time and like struggle to find these
things. Okay, so those are the two main
purposes to create and train your
algorithm. And then also just make sure
to wait one to two days before posting.
Uh you don't want to create your page,
change everything, and then start
posting within like a couple hours. Not
smart. Um you know, that's just kind of
[snorts] unusual new account behavior
from Instagram's perspective. So, just
log in, um, engage like a regular user,
try and curate your feed to show you
more content within your niche, and then
just wait a couple days before you
actually officially begin posting. Okay,
so again, this these things might be
common sense to some of you, but also I
see some people make mistakes and send
red flags and bad signals to the
Instagram and the algorithm right at the
beginning. So, you want to avoid that.
Just make sure that you follow these
steps here and you'll be good to go.
Okay. And then the last thing here is to
optimize your settings. At this point,
we've gone over how to optimize your
profile. That way, you could convert as
many viewers to followers as possible.
But now, it's time to optimize the
settings because there's a few different
little toggles and configurations that
you want to make sure are done the right
way from the beginning. Just make sure
everything's set up as like a proper
theme page before we move on to the next
steps. All right. So, the first thing
here is to switch to a creator account.
All right. because when you create a new
page on Instagram, most likely it's
going to be as a personal account. So,
you have to actually go and change it to
a uh creator account yourself. And
here's exactly how to do it. So, first,
click on the three lines at the top of
your profile, the little hamburger icon
here. Then, click account type and
tools. Then, click account type. And
then you'll see this blue text right
here. Click professional account. And
then you'll see this little popup. Click
next. Then click switch to professional
account. It's also going to ask you to
choose one of these little categories
here. It really doesn't matter what you
choose because you could make sure it's
not displayed on your profile anyways.
All right. So, click uh switch to
professional account. Then click creator
account. All right. Not business
account, but creator account. This is
what you're going to want uh as a theme
page. Okay. So, that is how you switch
from a personal to creator account. Very
simple. Just follow this process. Now,
you also going are going to want to make
sure that you're uploading content at
the highest possible quality onto
Instagram. Again, this is very simple.
Just click on the three lines at the top
of the profile, then find media quality,
then just make sure that this is toggled
on. Upload at highest quality. Just make
sure it's toggled on. Okay? That way,
when you're actually beginning to post
content, it's uploading at like the
highest resolution possible for
Instagram. All right. And the last step
here is to turn on two-actor
authentification.
Okay. just to make sure that your
account is secure, it's protected, and
that even if somehow someone got access
to your login details, they can't
actually compromise your account because
you have this two factor au
authentification on, right? It's just
good practice uh as a professional uh
creator on Instagram. So, you're going
to want to click the three lines at the
top of the profile again, find accounts
center, then click two-factor
authentication, and then choose your
preferred method. Uh my preferred method
is just an authentification app. So, I
have an app where when I'm trying to log
into my account, it just asks me for
like a six-digit code. So, then I go
into my app, I see the six-digit code, I
copy and paste it into my account, and
then Instagram lets me through and to
access my account, right? So, that's
just again important just to make sure
your account's secured and nobody could
compromise it. So yeah, that is
everything that you guys are going to
need to know regarding all the
foundational steps for building your
profitable Instagram theme page business
from scratch. Now, we're going to move
on to the next module, which is going to
be a lot more exciting and more geared
towards growth and content. So yeah, I
will see you guys there. All right, now
welcome to module four. This is going to
be a big one. So, by now we've gone over
everything that you need to know
regarding how to set a solid foundation
for your faceless Instagram theme page
business. From how to pick the right
niche to how to do the research for it
to creating your page, how to actually
brand it and optimize your profile the
right way to warming up your page to
optimizing the settings. But now, it's
time to learn how to actually grow and
go viral with content on your page.
Right? This is the stuff that's going to
actually bring in the views, the
followers, allow you to build an online
audience and get in front of that
attention, right? So, super super
important. And before we dive into like
how what type of content to create, how
to actually create it the most effective
way, it's really important to understand
the algorithm, right? The principles
behind how the algorithm actually works
and how you can use it to your advantage
rather than have it work against you,
for example, right? So, that's what
we're going to start off with. how to
master the algorithm and more
specifically first how the algorithm
actually works in the first place. Okay,
so just to define the algorithm because
you probably hear people throwing out
the word algorithm, you know, algorithm
this, algorithm that, but you know, it's
important to understand how it's even
defined in the first place before we
move forward. All right, so the
algorithm is essentially a personalized
system that ranks content based on
predicted engagement, right? So, it's a
system that Instagram uses and it uses
machine learning and a AI to properly
rank content on different people's feeds
based off of how likely they think that
person is to engage with it. Okay, so
that's essentially the definition of the
algorithm and its main objective is to
keep people on the platform for as long
as humanly possible. Right? Put simply,
that is its main objective. And the
reason for that is because Instagram as
well as other social platforms, the most
popular ones like YouTube, Tik Tok,
Facebook, even other ones that I haven't
listed here, they're all adbased revenue
models. And essentially what this means
is they make most of their money, most
of their profits from companies,
businesses, creators paying them money
to advertise on their platform, right?
So because of this, the more time
someone spends on their platform, the
more ads they see and the more ads they
see, the more money Instagram or Meta
makes, right? And because of this logic
train here, their goal, their objective
is to keep people on the platform for as
long as possible, right? Because that
means they'll they're able to make the
most money as humanly possible. And
that's the goal of Meta and every other
social company and really any company
out there, right? But just how Instagram
and these social platforms achieve this
is by keeping people on their platform
so that they can see more ads so they
can make more money. Okay? So just want
to clear that up. That is the main
objective of the algorithm and
everything that will be going on moving
forward from here. I want you to keep
that in the back of your mind. Okay. So
it's also important to understand that
there isn't just like one Instagram
algorithm. Okay. A lot of people think
of the algorithm they just think it's
just like one main thing. That's not
necessarily the case. There's actually
four main ranking system that Instagram
uses when ranking content on different
people's feeds, right? So, they all
serve the main objective of keeping
people on their platform for as long as
possible, but they just do it in subtly
different ways, right? So, these four
main ranking systems are the reals feed,
the home feed, stories, and the explore
feed. Right? These are the four main
ranking systems. And today we're going
to be diving deep specifically into how
the reals feed works because this is by
far the most important. It's going to be
the most responsible for getting your
page out there, for getting views,
followers, actually building an
audience. So that's why we're going to
dive into it in depth today. Although at
the same time, if you do want access to
more of a full comprehensive breakdown
on how all of these work together, uh,
just follow me again on Instagram,
Poshmogga, and DM me the word algorithm,
and I'll send you a free helpful
resource that breaks all of this down
more succinctly. All right, but now
let's just dive straight into how the
reals ranking system works. Okay, this
is super important. So, once you upload
a reel, there is a few main things that
happen, and I want to break down exactly
what happens and in what sequence. that
way you could fully understand. All
right, so the first thing that happens
is that Instagram shows that piece of
content to a small test audience, a
small group of people. This is no fixed
amount because it depends on a couple
variables like how big your page is, how
long you've been posting for, etc. But
what's more more important is that it's
shown to some followers, but mostly
non-followers. And this split is around
20% followers and 80% non-followers. All
right, so Instagram shows it to the
small test audience. And then what
Instagram does is it measures the
engagement of how that test audience
engages with the piece of content that
you posted, right? The reel. And what it
looks at specifically when measuring the
engagement is a few different tiers of
metrics, right? Tier one, which are the
most important, is watch time. As we
discussed earlier, it's the most
important, keeping people on the
platform. Completion rate, so people
that actually the percentage of people
that finish the reel watch it all the
way through. uh replays, so whether
someone replays the reel, shares it to
someone else. And then tier two metrics,
which are still important, just not as
important, is whether someone saves the
reel, someone comments on the reel, uh
follows your page after seeing it,
visits your profile after seeing it, and
then tier three, important, but the
least out of all of these here are
likes, believe it or not, and shares to
story, whether someone shares it to
their story. All right. So, these are
essentially all of the different actions
someone can take when viewing your reel.
Okay. So, what happens is when Instagram
shows it to the small test audience,
they're going to measure how this group
of people engages with the reel that you
posted. Okay? And then what happens
after that is the machine learning, the
AI algorithm is going to score that
piece of content. All right? The
system's going to calculate a predicted
engagement score, right? So, it's going
to score essentially how likely they
believe other people would react and
engage with this content if it was shown
to them, right? And essentially, you
could get a good score, which is great.
That's what we want because that means
Instagram is going to expand your reach
reach. It's going to push it out to more
people, distribute it to more people. Or
it's going to get a bad score, right?
Where the reach becomes limited. So,
Instagram will see how people are
engaging with it. Long story short, if
people engage with it, well, they see
that people are liking it. They're, you
know, triggering these different metrics
we discuss, uh, it's going to rank at a
good score and get more reach, push it
out to more people. Whereas, on the
other hand, if it gets a bad score, then
it's going to limit it and not get
pushed out to as many people. Okay? Now,
what happens if you get a good score?
Essentially, it's just going to repeat
the process, except the only difference
this time is it's going to be a larger
test audience. Again, no fixed amount of
people, some followers, mostly
non-followers. And the second time
around, it's going to be mostly uh even
more non-followers than before from this
small test audience. All right? Or this
larger test audience. And then again,
it's going to measure the engagement,
see how people react and engage with the
piece of content, this new audience, and
then from there, it's going to score it.
And if you get a good score, it's going
to expand your reach. It's going to push
it out even further. And if it gets a
bad score, it's going to limit it and
not get pushed out anymore. All right?
And then again, if it gets a good score,
it's literally just going to keep
repeating this process over and over and
over again. Uh, and that's how you see
people get viral reels. It sort of
compounds, right? It just keeps on the
algorithm keeps on pushing your content
to more and more people as long as they
see that the people they're showing it
to are engaging with it and are actually
watching it and are sharing it, etc.
Right? And then as soon as it sees the
score start to fall down and not go as
high, then it's going to limit your
reach. Okay? So that's essentially the
sequence of events of what happens when
you post a real. Okay? Now, the whole
idea here is that every reel must earn
the next batch of views, right? Because
Instagram is going to give your content
a chance. it's going to show it to a
group of people and you essentially need
to prove to the algorithm that you are
deserving of being shown to uh the next
bigger group of people, right? So, you
kind of need to earn it, right? You're
not going to get any handouts. They're
not just going to like push it out just
because they want to give you a try
occasionally, but you need to earn each
next batch of views. Okay? And how you
do this is by obviously triggering the
engagement metrics because the amount of
reach you get, the amount of push that
you get from your content depends on the
score that the algorithm gives it. But
the score that the algorithm gives the
piece of content depends on how people
engage with it. Right? So with that
logic train, the more engagement you
get, the more Instagram is going to push
your content, right? And with that being
said, the question is how like how do we
trigger these engagement metrics
effectively? That way, Instagram is
incentivized to continue pushing out our
content, right? And that's where we get
to step two of mastering the algorithm,
which is how to use it to your advantage
because now you understand how it works,
but now we can go over how specifically
to use it to your advantage. That way,
it works for you rather than against
you. Okay? And how we do this is by what
I call utilizing the virality formula.
All right? And the core principle of
this formula is that every piece of
content that you make and upload should
be designed to trigger these metrics.
All right, these are the tier one
metrics that I was going over earlier.
Watch time, completion rate, replays,
and shares. These are the most
important. If you could trigger these
ones, really nothing else matters. If
you could prove to the algorithm that
you keep people on their platform, that
people are actually completing and
watching the reel that you upload fully,
that people are even replaying it, and
that people are sharing it to others,
which means you're bringing other people
onto the platform, Instagram is going to
love you for that, and they're going to
continue pushing out your content even
more. Okay, now let's dive a bit deeper
and get into more detail on how we could
actually trigger these different
specific metrics. Now, the first and
most important thing that your content
should do is hook the viewer to grab
their attention. Your content should
serve as a pattern interrupt. All right,
this is so so important to understand as
a concept because when someone is
scrolling on Instagram, they're in a
zombie-like scroll state. Think about
it. You know, if someone's scrolling,
you know, they're not really thinking.
It's mindless. It's autopilot. So, the
first 1 to 3 seconds of them coming upon
a reel is the most important because
that's going to determine whether they
just quickly swipe and go to the next
reel or whether they continue watching.
And if you could grab them within the
first 1 to 3 seconds, they're a whole
lot more likely to continue watching and
potentially even finishing the reel. And
what that's going to do is trigger the
watchtime metric. And that's what we
want, right? So, the whole objective
here is to stop the scroll instantly.
So, so important, right? the most
important metric right here. And how we
execute this depends on a couple things.
One, it depends on our niche, right? So,
it's important to understand that pages
in different niches post different types
of content that work best within that
niche, right? So the type of content
that works best in like the fitness
niche might look different than the type
of content that works best in the health
niche or in the entrepreneurship/
business niche. So because of that, how
you actually execute on this step here
with grabbing their attention is going
to depend on the content style that is
best for your niche that you end up
going with. And obviously we haven't got
there yet. We're going to dive deeper
into that later down the line, how to
actually like find the right content
style and go about that. So, I actually
suggest circling back to this step once
you do get clarity on your content style
because you'll look at this from a
different perspective. But I just wanted
to uh point that out as sort of like a
um precursor before we dive into this
just so you're aware. All right. But for
example, different ways on how you could
execute hooking in your viewer, grabbing
their attention and doing a pattern
interrupt is a text hook, a subtitle
hook, any sort of visual movement, uh
some sort of sound effect starting the
clip midaction.
And these are just some examples here.
And you might see these and be confused,
but I want to show you like a more uh
practical example so I could point out
exactly, you know, what is being
executed here. Okay? And then keep in
mind the content style that you're going
to be going with in your niche and with
your page might not look like this. So
just pay attention to how we're
executing it in this style and then take
those ideas and concepts and principles
and apply it to whichever content style
that is going to be best for your niche.
Okay? So, let's take a quick watch at
this together.
>> Good morning.
>> Good morning, sir. [music] Good morning.
>> All right, so we're 7 seconds in and I'm
going to kind of I'm going to break down
um what exactly happened here which
hooked the viewer, right? And for
context, this reel here got 8.2 million
views. So, there's clearly something
that worked. So, first is this text hook
at the top here. Can you give a better
surprise than this to your child? Right?
So if someone scrolls and they see that,
it's like, can you give a better
surprise than what to your child? Like
it kind of creates an open loop like a
cur curiosity loop. So someone has to
continue watching to kind of like
satisfy that curiosity like what what is
it that this person gave to their child
which was so like intriguing, right?
Also, keep in mind this is a very like
uh interesting way that the clip starts
off. It's like a man. He's walking up to
this lady.
>> Good morning.
>> Good morning, sir. Good morning. [music]
>> He's walking up to this lady at a desk.
It looks like in an airport showing him
the pass or showing her the passport.
And this is sort of like what I mean by
this right here. It's starting
mid-action. It's like in the middle of a
scene already. Um, so people scroll into
that and they kind of are thinking to
themselves like what's actually going on
here? And they have this text hook at
the top as well. So a lot of these work
in harmony with each other. Another
thing that I want to point out is pay
attention to how many times the frame or
the angle of the video changed in the
first like 5 seconds. Look. One.
>> Good morning, sir. Good [music] morning.
>> Two. 3
4
5.
>> There you are.
>> Six. So, in 9 seconds, the angle changes
six times. So, this is another way to
hook in the viewer because when there's
more quick changes, it kind of just
gives more dopamine. it's easier to
follow along with uh at the same time
here. Obviously, this depends on the
clip that you're working with. Sometimes
you're going to grab a clip that doesn't
change that many times. But, uh these
are just a few examples, right? These
are a few examples of variables that
captured the attention of the audience
and made them want to stay longer and
figure out really what's going on here
and satisfy that curiosity. Right now,
let's go over another example right
here. This one got 1.6 million views.
It always takes me back to that quote
[music] of Marcus Aurelius who had a
slave that would sit behind him and
always whisper to him, "Hey,
>> you're just a man.
>> You're just a man.
>> You're just a man."
>> Right. So, let's replay this and I'll
point out exactly what was executed the
right way here.
>> It always takes me back to that quote.
>> So, very good opener to begin with in a
couple different ways. One, what he
says, it always takes me back to that
quote. So this is again creating like a
curiosity loop. It's a open loop. You
know what quote right? And it makes you
kind of want to hear the quote and then
he starts saying it
>> of Marcus Aurelius who had
>> Marcus Aurelius. This is a well-known
authoritative person that a lot of
people know. So that hooks them in even
more. They want to hear what he has to
say.
>> The slave.
>> And then here slave. It's a trigger
word. Like people hear the word slave
and it's kind of like a polarizing word.
So it makes them want to continue
watching to hear what that's all about.
And also before we continue on, pay
attention to how the reel started off.
It always takes me back to that.
>> So you could hear like a little sound
effect at the beginning and also there's
a visual effect where the uh clip opened
up like this, right?
>> It always takes me back to that quote.
>> So the combination of it opening up like
that, the sound effect, and then also
the guy saying it always takes me back
to that quote. Like all of these work in
harmony to grab the attention of the
viewer and pull them out of that
zombie-l like scroll state that they're
in. All right, so this is what I mean by
specific ways this can be executed,
right? So obviously again to
re-emphasize the content that you're
going to be going with may look so much
similar to this. It may not look similar
to this, but uh you're just going to
want to pay attention to how you can
execute uh different variables of the
content to hold the viewer uh attention
of the viewer. Okay. Um so yeah, let's
move on to the next variable right here,
which is going to be triggering the
completion rate. Okay. And to do this,
we want to retain the viewer and their
attention by having the video have quick
pacing ideally, right? So first you grab
their attention right in the first 1 to
3 seconds and then you want to retain
their attention as well. Okay. So the
whole objective here simply retain the
viewers's attention. Try to keep them on
the video as long as possible. Ideally
have them finish it. Okay. Again how you
execute this is going to be dependent
but for example could be dynamic
subtitles, snappy editing, so like very
quick um maybe some B-roll or like some
video overlays in the background. You
know minimal pauses, minimal gaps. you
know, if there's someone speaking, you
know, you don't want there to be like a
3se secondond gap um right at the
beginning when he's speaking. You know,
it's just going to uh tempt people to
want to scroll away if they're not
getting that immediate dopamine. Uh
storytelling,
that way kind of people are hooked into
whatever story is being told and they
want to hear how it finishes. if you
could build tension within the reel um
and kind of like suspense to make
someone want to kind of figure out
what's going to happen. These are all
different ways that you could execute
retaining the viewer. Okay, so again,
here's another example. This is from one
of my pages. Got 7.6 million views here.
So, let's take a watch.
When my oldest brother died, my my other
two brothers [music] pulled me to the
side. Never forget this. I'm walking
into the hospital. The doctor tell my
mom, "He's heart's still pumping. He's
brain dead. What you want to do?" She
said, "Pull the plug." It's done. Like
these false. I remember running around
all my family's crying and I go.
>> So, real quick, just pay attention to
the subtitles, how they're kind of
bouncy and they're popping up as he's
speaking. That's just another way to
kind of retain the attention of the
viewer. Whereas, if it was just in one
block, um, it still could be um,
effective with retaining the attention,
but
not as effective as what we're seeing
right here.
>> I touch my brother. He laying in the
bed. Look like he's sleep. [music] I
touch his feet. cold. Walk out the room,
I'm crying.
>> Also, you can see the way this video is
edited, it's uh it cuts out all the
pauses. Like, if you were to watch this
raw clip, there would be pauses
obviously as he's telling the story,
etc. But it's very quick quickly paced,
right? So, it holds the viewer's
attention very well. And then also, he's
telling a story, right? And obviously,
and unfortunately, it's like graphic has
to do with his brother, him being in the
hospital, and it's emotional. You know,
he's crying at some point. So this, you
know, makes the viewer feel the emotion
as well and kind of become engaged with
the story. And it's very uncomfortable
as a viewer to like scroll off in the
middle of a story, right? You kind of
want to, you know, naturally
instinctively hear how it ends and what
happens, right? So again, these are just
some examples of how this specific reel
retained attention. Okay? Now, let's
move on to the next variable here, which
is going to be doing the loop. This is
replay engineering. And what this is
going to trigger is replays. The
objective is to force the viewer to
rewatch, right? Because getting watch
time and having someone watch your reel
fully is one thing. But if you could get
the viewer to replay it and to watch it
again, that doesn't just count for like
one full watch time of that video. It
actually continues adding more watch
time to it, right? So someone could
watch the same video like three times
and that's the equivalent of of like
three other people just watching it
once, right? So if we could get people
to not only watch it fully, but replay
it, then again, um that contributes to
the watch time, keeps people on the
platform more, and we're going to get
pushed further. Okay? I'm going to
emphasize this again. How you execute
this depends on your niche, but you
could have a seamless ending to
beginning transition, which I'll show
you in a second here. a circular story
structure or maybe a ending that's like
sort of a a wait what ending where it's
maybe unexpected, catches people by
surprise, makes them want to like
rewatch and watch it again just to get
some clarity. Um, so here's an example
of that. This one got 3.7 million views.
>> I just want to make a lot of money and
tell people money is not everything for
for this life.
>> First you want to make a lot of money
though, right? [music]
>> That's crazy.
I just want to make a lot of
>> So pay attention to what happened here.
So first off, the video faded in from
black. So it goes from black and then it
fades into the video.
>> I just want to make a lot of money and
>> right and then if we go towards the end.
>> That's crazy.
>> It fades out and then what Instagram
does is they automatically replay it
once it finishes. So it's a very
seamless viewer experience.
>> That's crazy. [music]
I just want to make a lot of
>> That's what it would look like if
someone was just scrolling and watch the
video. It fades back out and then fades
back in again.
>> Money
>> and then he says, I just want to make a
lot of money. So, it's a it's a very
seamless transition from the end of the
video back to the beginning. That way,
someone could watch it like a few times
in a row and it doesn't feel choppy. It
doesn't feel like it drops off out of
nowhere unexpectedly. Uh it's just a
very smooth viewer experience, right? So
that's just an example of how you could
execute the replay variable here. All
right. Now, let's go over the last
variable, which is spread. This is share
psychology. This is the fourth step. And
the whole point here is to trigger
shares. And the objective is to
incentivize the viewer to share the
reel, right? Because, as I mentioned
earlier, it's one thing to hold people
onto the platform and to have them watch
the video or maybe watch it a couple
times. It's a whole different beast if
we could get someone to share our video
to someone else because then what's
happening is someone else is going to
see that someone shared a video with
them. They're going to open Instagram,
watch the video. And what do most people
do when they do that, right? They don't
just watch the video and then click out
and go to whatever they were doing. You
know, Instagram is designed in a way
where some when someone opens the app,
they're probably going to stay on the
app for a little bit because it's, you
know, it's very uh dopamine inducing.
It's very uh it holds your attention,
the app, right? So essentially what I'm
trying to say is if you could bring if
you could prove to Instagram that you
could also bring people onto their
platform now you know Instagram is going
to make more money cuz the person that
you brought onto the platform or the
dozens or thousands of people that you
bring onto the platform from your video
are going to also spend more time on the
platform making Instagram more money
right so that's why it's so important
that your content is sharable okay in
terms of how you could execute this
again depends on the niche depends on
the content style but you could have a
relatable element
um in the content and identity element
like X understands this. So you know
maybe if you're in the business or
entrepreneurship entrepreneurship niche,
you could post a real about that and you
know maybe um the person is thinking in
their mind, yeah, you know, this is very
niche for entrepreneurs and business
people like they could relate to that.
They understand that and they could send
it to maybe their entrepreneur friend
for example. It's maybe something that's
useful information, maybe a fun fact or
a polarizing element, something that is
maybe controversial, makes someone want
to share it with their friend or into a
group chat or something. So, here are
just some different examples of how you
could execute this. Now, let's take a
look at a tangible one. This was uh 1.3
million views.
Marijuana was the second worst thing to
accelerate aging. The worst thing was
having schizophrenia, but the second
worst thing, it surprised me, quite
[music] frankly, it was worse than
alcohol. It dulls, slows down nerve cell
firing. So if you have a business, so to
break down kind of what's going on here,
this guy is like clearly some sort of
like uh expert or professional and like
the medical field and he's kind of like
educating the listener on something
about marijuana. And
because of this, it's it kind of serves
as like a fun fact and something that's
educational, something that maybe people
would want to share with like a friend
or like this is the type of reel that
like your mom would send you for
example. So, um, that's an example of
how this is executed, right? So, now
just to summarize everything we've gone
over and to put it all together, here is
the virality formula, the four steps.
All right. One, hook the viewer. Grab
their attention. Stop their scroll in
the first one to three seconds out of
their zombie-like scroll state. Two,
once you have their attention, retain
it, right? Keep them engaged. Keep
supplying them with dopamine so that
they could watch as much as possible or
even stay to the end. Three, ideally
have them looped back into watching the
video again. That way, you're getting
more watch time. And four, having your
content be sharable. That way, people
share your content, bring other people
onto the platform, leading to more watch
time for Instagram and to more money. If
you implement all of these things,
Instagram will love you for that and
will reward you for that by pushing out
your content more and more, right? And
that's what we want. That's how we're
going to get more views, more followers,
build a larger audience a lot more
quickly. Okay, so that is the virality
formula, right? And here's something
else that I believe is really important
that I want you to pay attention to when
it comes to learning. Every time you see
a viral piece of content, pay close
attention to these details. Right? These
are the exact triggers successful pages
use to manipulate the algorithm in their
favor. If you see other pages or content
on Instagram going viral, getting lots
of views, there's something they're
doing right there. And there's something
about their content which is triggering
the algorithm to push it further. Right?
So pay attention to these specific
variables that we've just gone over
right now. When you see a specific reel,
sit there and ask yourself what made
people stop scrolling, right? What
grabbed their attention? What emotion
did it trigger in the viewer? What, you
know, why did people watch the video to
the end? What made people share the
video or comment on it? What are they
commenting? How can I repeat this in my
own unique way, you know, for my niche
or for my page? And what's going to
happen, the more you do this, the better
you're going to be able to recognize
patterns, all right, of what's actually
working. You know, this is one of the
most important skills that an Instagram
creator can have, pattern recognition.
And this is also something that you're
going to get a lot better at over time,
right? Because if you can recognize the
patterns of other viral, high performing
content on Instagram, of other pages in
your niche, and you could see exactly
what they're doing and how they're
manipulating the algorithm to their
favor to go viral, and you're starting
to notice patterns there and things that
you could repeat yourself, that's when
things start to become a whole lot
easier. All right? So, the more often
you sit there and you ask yourself
questions as soon as you see a viral
video, the better you're going to get at
this. All right? And now since you have
a much better understanding of the
algorithm, how it works, how we could
actually use it to our advantage to go
viral, it's time to go over content. How
it works, how we could create it, etc.
Let's dive into it. Now, first and
foremost, let me emphasize this. Content
is king. All right, content is king.
What I mean by this is the content that
you post is by far the most important
factor for growing on Instagram. Every
other factor is irrelevant if your
content is poor quality. For example,
sometimes I have people reach out and
ask me like, "Hey, Posasha, like, you
know, my my reels aren't performing
well, right? You know, is it because I'm
posting at the wrong time? Should I post
at this time instead?" Or, "Hey, I'm
using these hashtags. Like, what are
your thoughts? Should I use different
hashtags?" Or, you know, "Hey, I'm
scheduling my reels, not posting them
manually. Is that my why my uh page
isn't doing well?" And then I look at
their content and it's not good quality.
It's trash. Like, no one would watch
these videos. And here's the thing, it's
not that those other variables don't
matter, right? Like, sure, having the
right hashtags, posting at the times
where your audience is most active, and
fun fact, scheduling versus posting
doesn't make any difference. You know,
those things can help, but it's not
going to be the make or break, right?
It's not going to be that determining
factor that determines whether your
content goes viral and does really well
or if it doesn't, like just because you
didn't use the right hashtags, for
example. What does matter, what is the
make or break? What is the determining
factor is whether your content is good
quality or not, whether someone would
actually watch it. Okay? So, that's the
most important thing. Don't look and
listen to all these little quick fixes
that maybe other like people on YouTube
are talking about. Oh, this like viral
hashtag strategy is going to make you
blow up. That's not the case, right?
Those are quick fixes and it doesn't
address the root of growth, which is the
content. Okay? So, I just wanted to
clear that up off the bat. Now, let's
continue on. Okay? There's a real simple
growth formula. Okay? It's very simple.
A good niche plus high quality content
plus consistency equals growth. It's
that simple, right? Picking a good niche
that has proof of concept, that has
demand, posting highquality content that
relates to that niche, to those viewers,
to that audience consistently over a
long enough period of time, right?
Staying consistent every day leads to
growth. There's nothing else to it than
that. It's that simple, right?
Obviously, we could dive more into how
to make the content high quality, right?
Yet, this is all it comes down to,
right? There's no other like external
uncontrollable variables there, okay?
It's just simple. Don't over complicate
it. I see so many people over
complicating it and making it a lot more
complex than it needs to be. It really
just comes down to this. All right? If
these are solid and rooted, you will
grow, right? And you'll grow really
well. Now, with that being said, let's
dive into more context about specific
content strategy, right? What that looks
like and how to think about it, right?
And the main thing here is to not
reinvent the wheel. Okay? Do not
reinvent the wheel. What I mean by this
is you don't need to come up with your
own innovative strategy that's
groundbreaking that no one's ever seen
before when it comes to growing a
successful Instagram theme page. You
don't need to do that, right? because
that means you're coming into it
blindly, especially if you're not very
experienced with this and you'd come
into it blindly blindly and you're doing
stuff that you don't even know will work
or not. You're just shooting in the
dark. Instead, what you should do is not
blindly copy people either. You
shouldn't just like see someone else
that's performing well and do everything
the exact same. What you should do is
simply remodel existing viral content,
which has already been proven to work,
but do it with your own branding/ unique
twist. Okay, this is super super
important to understand. Do not reinvent
the wheel. All right, you don't need to
do it completely from scratch, brand
new. No one's ever seen it before. Don't
blindly copy others. Remodel existing
viral content, which has already been
proven to work with your own branding
and unique twist. We're going to go over
what that looks like specifically, how
you can make it unique to yourself and
put a unique spin and twist on it. But
the thing is, the reason why this is
important is because there's already
successful pages out there with very,
very high performing content out there
that we'll be able to identify that is
working right now in real time, engaging
and attracting people in the niche. And
since that's a fact and we could find
these pages, obviously there's doing
they're doing something right. There's
something that we could learn from them.
Why would we go out there and try and
reinvent the wheel when the wheel is
already invented and there's someone
who's already doing something that's
proven to work, right? We could simply
get inspiration from that. We could
remodel that. We could do it in our own
way. That way, we have proof of concept
and we could feel confident that it'll
work for us as well. All right?
Obviously, we're going to dive into a
little bit more depth about what that
looks like specifically, but as a
concept, I want you to think about it
like this. Okay? So, what you're going
to want to do after understanding this
is identify a viral content style or
template. All right, every high
performing theme page on Instagram uses
a consistent and replicable content
style, right? We're going to go over
some examples in a second, but also what
I want you to focus on is specifically
reals to begin with. Um, reels are by
far the best way to grow when you're
starting a new page from scratch. You
could implement posts and carousels a
little bit later down the line depending
on what niche you're in. It varies like
when you should begin integrating them
into that content, but they're not the
best to start off from scratch because
carousels and posts are more geared
towards engaging your existing audience.
They still have the potential to go
viral, but they're geared towards
nurturing and educating your existing
audience. Whereas reals are more geared
towards reach, new reach, putting your
page out there, attracting an audience,
right? So only focus on reels when
you're trying to identify a viral
content style/template at the beginning.
Okay, so here are some examples of that.
All right, just to kind of give you
something tangibly to think about. And
this is going to look different
depending on your niche, of course,
right? But let's take a look at this.
This is called the Twitter format
because um when someone posts something
on Twitter, it's got like this little
verify check mark here. This is kind of
like what the formatting look like looks
like. And it has like a little text and
then like a clip, for example.
Your kids probably have one of these,
right?
>> Not quite.
Hell of a pilot.
>> No.
>> All right. So, I'm not going to play the
whole thing, but you could kind of see
the idea here. So, it's just kind of
like the Twitter format, and then it's
got a clip. And that is a proven format
that's done very, very, very well.
Right. Here's another one. A subtitles
style or template.
>> Man works from sun to sun. Women's work
is never done.
>> Very simple. Just someone speaking with
subtitles coming up with background
music with a little logo here. And this
one is a subtitles with hook. So it's
similar to this, but it's just cropped a
little bit more. And there's actually a
text hook at the top here.
One of the things that really hurt Apple
was after I left, John Scully got a very
serious disease. I've seen [music] other
people get it too. It's so that's
another style. And then we've got this
one here. This is more different from
what we've seen so far. These are all
like text based or subtitle based
whereas this is like a quote style
[music]
where it's just some sort of background
picture or video with some quote on it.
And then this is like a cinematic style
where it has the subtitles, but it's a
little bit more sophisticated. You'll
see.
>> God never gave up on me. You know,
everything I had to go through, all the
adversity and no one believing in me,
you know, this is special. I found God.
>> So, this one has like more um
interesting subtitles and some overlays.
It's got the background music still. And
then there's also content styles or
templates that are like fully AI, right?
Like this.
The biggest mistake a woman can make is
running to tell her family and friends
every time she [music] has a problem
because the moment you involve outsiders
in every disagreement, the
>> right so like AI videos and AI voice and
then automatic subtitles that come up on
the screen, some background music. So
these are all examples of different
content styles slashtemplates. All
right. And if you were to take a look at
the pages who are posting this content,
they all follow a very consistent and
replicable uh theme, right? Like each
content style. Like for example, this it
just be the same sort of format but with
like a different text and a different
video, right? And then same here, it'd
be like same full screen subtitles, the
same watermark, but it just be a
different text with different subtitles
coming up. and the format stays the same
and you just sort of plug and play
specific um new pieces of content within
the same format or template. All right.
And then again, uh there's a lot more of
styles than this. These are some very
popular ones, maybe ones that you'll see
when you're doing your niche research,
but at the same time, uh this all
depends on your niche. All right? So,
the content style or template that you
choose depends on your niche or a
parallel niche. So, what I suggest you
do is reference your niche research
worksheet, right? Because you've already
filled this out from earlier on. I
suggest you go back and take a look. And
now, with this knowledge that you have,
pay attention to the specific content
style that the fastest performing pages
in your niche are using and employing,
right? Maybe the top five pages in your
niche are all posting within like one of
these uh content templates or maybe
another one that is not on the screen.
This is going to be very helpful to get
you to understand what's actually going
to work best in your niche and to give
you inspiration on how you should
approach your content strategy. All
right, so just to summarize, choose one
of the content styles/templates used by
the fastest growing pages based off your
research. Okay, it's going to give you a
good direction on
when it comes to like what type of
content style that you should go with.
Okay. So, yeah, now you understand how
important content is and the first steps
to take when getting clarity on your
specific content approach. It's all
dependent on your niche and just seek to
identify and evaluate what sort of
content styles perform best within your
niche. That way, you could have a more
clear direction moving forward with the
next steps. All right. Now, we're going
to go over more specifically how to do
viral content research. So, let's dive
straight into it. Okay. So, like I said
earlier, we're not going to be
reinventing the wheel. We're not coming
up with something completely from
scratch, completely innovative that no
one has ever seen before. What we're
doing is we're going to analyze
Instagram. We're going to see what's
already working best within our niche,
and then we're going to remodel it in
our own unique way, ideally making it
even better, right? So, in order for us
to do this, we need to see what is
actually working on Instagram within our
niche. And that's what's called viral
content research, right? We're going to
be looking for viral content within our
niche. So, I have a few different ways
that we could go ahead and do this. I'll
be diving into each of them more in
depth in a second, but I just want to
list them first. So, as I've been
discussing, we want to revisit our niche
research. It's why it's so important,
guys, to actually do that step because
we've been going back to it a couple
times now because we've got the fastest
growing pages in our niche on that list
and there's a lot that we could learn
from those pages. A lot of inspiration
that we could get to actually see what's
working. And then also we could go
through the following list of these
pages because not only are those pages
themselves are a good source to get
inspiration but if we go through their
following list and they have more
research curated in their following list
it helps for us to go through that and
see uh what's working from those pages
as well. Also there's a website called
viralfinder.com.
They've got a free version where
essentially you log in create an account
for free. There's a section called user
search where you can type in the name of
any theme page, any theme page in your
niche and it will kind of populate all
of their most viral content for you to
kind of go ahead and look through. So,
it makes the research pretty easy. And
then also the last one here is
intentional scrolling. So, through the
reels or explore feed. At this point,
you've warmed up your page, I assume, a
decent amount. So, hopefully Instagram
is starting to populate and show you
viral, high performing content within
your niche. So, if you go on to
Instagram and you're very intentional
about what you're doing, and you're not
wasting your time and scrolling and
getting distracted, but you're actually
just going and kind of looking through
some reels, seeing what pops up, you
know, which pages are posting these
reels, checking those pages, what viral
content are those pages posting, or
maybe checking the explore feed, trying
to find some other pages. Uh, it's a
very effective way to do research
because it's more um automatic, let's
say, right? Right? Like you can just
pull up your phone, go straight to
Instagram, and boom, you're going to see
a bunch of inspiration already. And
whereas the other ones are sort of more
manually going out of your way and
finding inspiration. All right? So, here
are some of the main ways that you can
do this viral concert research
effectively. And just to show you an
example of what that would look like,
I'm just going to move over here. I'm
going to go to a niche research
worksheet. So, this is from a different
page in the parenting niche. So, you can
see this is a Google sheet here. I've
got to look right over this. There's
some pages in here and this is how
they're organized into the fastest
growing. This is kind of like how you
benchmark the highest performing pages
against each other. Kind of see what
they look like, the branding, etc. Now,
if we go to the fastest growing pages
here, what we could do is we could just
type in these pages on Instagram and
considering they're growing very well,
there's something that they're doing
right. So, if we could go onto their
page and kind of look through their high
performing content, obviously we're
going to find viral content there. you
know, that's going to be a great source
of inspiration. And then, like I said,
you know, once we find a page like that,
for example, we could go into their
following list, and most likely they're
going to be following some other uh high
performing viral pages in the niche.
Like, here's another theme page. Um,
here's another one. Here's another one.
And it just gives us another source to
look through just to find some more
options. All right. Also, for viral
finder, it's very simple to use, so I'm
not going to dive into it here. And then
also, intentional scrolling. This is
pretty self-explanatory as well. Just
open your phone and begin scrolling a
bit. All right, so this is the different
ways that you could get that inspiration
and see what's working best within your
niche. Now, how do we actually determine
what specific content to remodel? Right?
So, that comes down to viral content
selection. So, here is where we're
seeing all the inspiration and here's
where we kind of narrow it down to
figure out what exactly we should be
remodeling. Okay? So, here's some
criteria for you to help you out. So,
you want to look for content that has at
least 500,000 views. Obviously, the more
the better. If you could find ones with
millions consistently, that's going to
be even better. Also, you want to look
for good engagement, right? Because
again, views aren't everything.
Engagement matters more, actually. So,
you want to see that the the piece of
content actually has decent amount of
likes, comments, shares. The specific
engagement rate is just going to depend.
Um, there's no like, you know, set rate,
but you want to look for between like
two to five percent, let's say, for
likes. So, if a reel has like a 100,000
views, you want to see that it has at
least like 2,000 to 5,000 likes. And for
comments and shares, you want to look
for at least 100 comments and at least
a,000 shares. All right? So, that's the
criteria for the engagement. And then
also, you want to make sure that the
content that you'd be remodeling is
posted within the last week. All right?
And the earlier the better.
So, this is a mistake I see some people
make is when they're doing their
research, like they see a reel that's
gotten millions of views, good
engagement, but then it's like posted
six months ago. All right? And that's
not the worst thing in the world. I'm
not saying it's impossible to go viral
by remodeling a piece of content that's
6 months old, but it's less of an
accurate indicator as to what's working
right now compared to content that is
going viral recently. Right? Right? So,
if we see a reel that's gone viral a
couple days ago and we could quickly
jump on it and remodel it, make it even
better, put our own unique spin on it,
the likelihood of that going viral for
us as well is going to be higher
compared to as if we compared to if we
grabbed one that was like months ago or
weeks ago. All right? It doesn't mean
you can't ever do that. You could test
it and see how it performs for you, but
it's a higher likelihood for you to go
viral and perform well if it's earlier.
Okay? So, uh within the last week you
should aim for. So, here's the criteria
for that. This is how you're going to
narrow down your research to actually
find specific content to remodel. All
right, so now that we've gone over how
to do effective viral content research
and also the criteria to look for when
determining which specific piece of
content to select and remodel, let's
dive a little bit deeper into the actual
content creation process. All right,
first and foremost, obviously each
content style/template has a different
content creation process. Right. So, if
we scroll up a little bit here and we
take a look at the examples of the
different templates or styles that we
went over earlier, some of them are
pretty similar to one another, but
others are like completely different,
right? So, these up these three up here
are a bit similar because it just is a
clip and then some have text at the top
and are more cropped, whereas others are
just like full screen and then some have
[snorts] maybe more fancy editing.
Whereas like the quote style is pretty
much completely different to these and
the AI style is also different. So
because of that, the process is going to
be different, right? So keep that in
mind. It's going to depend on your niche
and the style that you choose. And
because of that, unfortunately,
obviously, I can't break down each and
every single style on Instagram because
there's dozens and it would take hours.
So I can't do it in this free course,
but I can break down a few. All right?
And this is a very, very popular style.
It's one of the most high performing
styles on Instagram is like these three
here. Okay? So, um, you could see that
they're all kind of similar in a way.
So, if you know how to make one of
these, like the sub title style, which
is what we're going to be going over,
you can easily recreate these other
styles as well, right? Because if you do
this, all you have to do is like kind of
crop the clip a little bit more and put
some text and this Twitter formatting
above very, very easy. Right? So, you're
just going to learn the foundations of
the subtitle style. So, we've gone over
how you can actually find the specific,
let's say, piece of content that you
want to remodel or the specific clip.
But then the question is like how do you
actually get the raw source or the you
know original source of that clip that
is unedited because when you follow this
process here you're going to find edited
clips now and if we want to remodel it
and put our own spin on it we have to
find the original source right so here's
exactly how we can do that. So I'm back
on Instagram here and the clip that I'm
going to be remodeling for the sake of
this example is this one right here.
It's like this health page. This one got
3.5 million views and the engagement is
quite good. The only thing just keep in
mind this was posted a little while ago.
So, I'm just doing this video for the
sake of the example. But again, make
sure that you're choosing more recent
clips ideally. All right, so let's
listen to this real quick. Stronger your
thighs are, the stronger your quads are,
the longer you live. Crazy fact, the
single most important,
>> right? So, we're going to find this
original clip or the source of this
clip. So the thing is here almost every
single original source is on YouTube.
All right, YouTube is going to be a very
very helpful place for us to find these
original sources. Now then the question
is like how do you search it up properly
on YouTube? So
towards the beginning it might be a
little tough because maybe you don't
know like what this person's name is and
you don't know what to search up. But
keep in mind if you check their captions
often times people are putting like the
specific source in the caption. So, I
could literally just copy and paste this
into the YouTube search bar and it's
going to show me the video. But also, if
they don't have it here, you can like
look through the comments. Maybe someone
is also wondering what his name is and
then someone replies and then you could
just look up that and podcast and you'll
be able to find it. And then also what
you could do another way, like another
method is literally take a screenshot of
like one of the angles in the set here
and then upload that screenshot into
Google Lens and Google Lens will use its
AI to kind of like identify which
podcast this is and like which video it
is and that way you could just look it
up on YouTube after that, right? But in
this case it's right here. So, I'm just
going to copy and paste this. Head over
to YouTube. And then I already got it up
right here, but what I'm going to do is
literally just copy and paste it in the
search bar up top. Press search and then
boom, it pulls it up right here. All
right. So, I'm going to click on it.
>> Life than anybody thought. So, you're
saying a brain
>> and you can see that this video is like
40 minutes long. So, obviously, we don't
want to watch the whole 40 minutes just
to find like this small 30 second clip
here, right? So here's what we're going
to want to do in order to speed that up.
So if you go and look here, you just
want to look at the text that he's
saying on the screen right here. So like
thing you can do the thingable greatest
coralate for preserving brain health,
>> brain health and body health, right? So
let's just keep that in mind. We could
actually go to the transcript on
YouTube. So we go down here. It says uh
show transcript. And then what we could
do is search through that transcript.
So, I'm just going to say brain health.
Brain health.
Right. So, here's that part of the clip.
And this is how it starts, I believe.
Let's see.
>> There's a lot more to do.
>> Yeah. So, on brain agent thingable
greatest,
>> the single most important thing you can
do, the thing about greatest.
>> So, this is like the part that we're
going to want. So, what we would do at
this point is click here and then you'll
see clip coral for preserve. And then,
you know, this clip's a little bit odd.
Um, how in a sense that like 30 seconds
into it is when there's a part of the
clip that is used in in the actual video
that we saw on Instagram, but then like
15 seconds before that is kind of added
on later, right? So, it's just a bit
unorganized. So, what I'm going to do is
just like
>> side of it
>> clip up to 60 seconds here
>> longer,
>> right? Obviously, for the sake of the
example, I'm not going to like find the
exact time frames, but you're just going
to want to find when you're doing it the
exact time frames of the clip that you
saw on Instagram so that you could get
the exact time frames from this clip on
YouTube. All right. And then what you
could do is just you got to give it a
title. So, I'm just going to type
something random. Then you press share
clip and it's going to I'm just going to
do it right here for the example. It's
going to give you a link. All right.
Now, at this point, you have the clip.
So, you could go over to this website
called loader.to. O and literally just
paste the clip here and it's going to
allow you to download the clip. That way
we could drag it into our like editing
software after. Right? So keep in mind
loader.co is a very very powerful
website because if you look up other
websites for like YouTube to MP4
converters, they don't let you download
YouTube clips. They only allow you to
download the entire video, right?
Whereas this video is like 40 minutes
long. So, we don't want to have to
download the whole video just for this
short snippet of 1 minute. Instead, with
Loader.co, it allows us to download the
60-second clip that we made ourselves,
right? Keep in mind that some YouTube
videos that you find might not have this
clip option here. I think it's something
that whoever posted it has the option to
turn on or off, but most of the clips
that you find, you should be able to
press this clip button here, right? But
on Loader.co,
Uh, unfortunately my Wi-Fi is a little
slow right now. So, it's not really, it
usually should be instant, but you'll
see that now it's downloaded. So, I can
just press this. Uh, I want to click out
of that and then it'll allow me to
download it. So, I just press save and
then I have the MP4 right in my
computer. Now, another thing that I want
to go over is a neat tool called
Filmont. All right. So, this is
something that you could use if you're
having trouble finding the original
source on YouTube because a lot of
people say uh maybe they have struggles
with this especially at the beginning
like right because maybe again you don't
know uh this person's name or what to
look up on YouTube and you're having
trouble finding the specific video. So,
Filmont is something that you can kind
of use to get around that. And
essentially what it allows you to do is
find specific YouTube videos based off
of a transcript. So if we go back to the
video and kind of listen to what he's
saying here
>> and body health leg strength [music]
thigh muscle mass inversely cor
>> so earlier he said like the single most
important thing that you could do right
so let's just type that in the single
yeah I've already done this so it's
going to populate here and then the
YouTuber is this guy here so we have the
option to put this in because we know
him but if you don't you don't need to
uh fil can still find it and then let's
just do this search automatic subtitles
And then it's going to do its thing. And
then boom, the video shows up right
here. Right? So if we had trouble
finding it on YouTube by ourselves, we
could use Filmont. And that allows us to
find it a bit easier. All right. So now
we can click on this video. The open it
up and then boom. The single most
important thing. So now at this point,
we have our clip and it's cut. It is the
exact sort of time frames that we need.
Now we can begin remodeling the clip to
our own unique style, put our uni unique
twist on it, and put our own spin on it.
All right, so let's dive straight into
that. We're going to go into a quick
video editing tutorial for how you could
turn this clip into an actual postable,
uploadable piece of content that could
go viral. Okay, then keep in mind again,
this is just going to go over like the
subtitle format. Um, but other types of
content styles or templates you would go
through the video creation process a
little bit differently. Some you could
use more AI than others, right? But this
one we're going to be using um you'll
see it'll be Cap Cut or Premiere Pro.
And then there's other similar ones as
well, but those are the two main ones.
All right, so I'll see you guys in that
breakdown. All right, so now that we've
got our viral clip, we can go ahead and
edit it and remodel it with our own
branding and unique twist so that we can
go ahead and post it as a real on our
page. All right. And in this tutorial,
I'm going to be using uh Adobe Premiere
Pro. This is a paid tool, although there
are also free tools out there like Cap
Cut and Da Vinci Resolve. By far the
most popular one, the one that I suggest
you use is Cap Cut. It's very uh easy to
use, beginnerfriendly interface, and it
works very similarly to Premiere Pro.
So, everything that you're going to be
learning and watching in this tutorial,
you could go ahead and cross reference
and apply as you're using Cap Cut. All
right. Obviously, there's going to be
subtle nuance differences, but uh the
main principle stays the same. Okay. Uh
so, let's dive straight into it. I've
got Premiere Pro opened on the screen,
as you could see. And first up, what
you're going to want to do is press
command N and go to settings. And this
is how you're going to create a new
project or sequence. You want to change
it to 1080 by 1920. That's going to give
you that rectangular format like this.
Okay. So now we could go ahead and drag
the clip onto the timeline right here.
And we're going to press keep existing
settings. And there's the clip as you
could see. And what we're also going to
do is we're going to go to effect
controls and zoom it in.
That way we could center him like this.
And then also this clip's a little
interesting in the sense that it kind of
starts like the beginning of the clip is
later on in the video. I'll show you
what I mean. stronger your the strong
>> That's how it starts. The stronger your
legs are,
>> the stronger your thighs are
>> or thighs are. So, we're gonna go ahead
and move it like that. That's what I
mean.
>> All right. And
>> obviously, you could see here that now
he's no longer centered. So, we have to
kind of like reign the clip here again
for each new angle. That's how podcasts
do it sometimes. It's a little tedious,
but
And then here it switches to this guy.
So we have to [laughter]
go like that.
Here we go. Make this guy centered now.
And here
it goes back to
this one. Cool. So we could just copy
and paste this.
Copy.
Paste. Boom. So, now that we that's the
first step, we got it all sort of
aligned and centered. All right. So, now
what we can go ahead and do is um drag
our watermark onto the timeline. So,
this is the logo that we had created
together earlier. Um since this is a a
health sort of longevity type clip, uh
figured we could just use the same
watermark. So, I think 20 would be a
good size here. I'm going to drag it
like in this region right here. I think,
you know, right here might look nice.
And also, pro tip for you guys, I
suggest using a
uh safe zone. Look up reals safe zone
online and download one of the options
there. It looks like this. Uh I'm going
to zoom this out a little bit. And it it
looks like this. So, the thing is, if I
were to move the watermark below like
this, it'd be covered by the caption
when I post it on Instagram. So instead,
I kind of want to make sure it's right
above like that because this is where
the like button and the comment and the
save are. This is where the caption is.
You know, this is where it says reals
and friends, you know, when you're
actually using real. So this safe zone
kind of just makes sure that you don't
place anything in obstructed places. All
right. And then yeah, once that's there,
you could kind of just like hide it like
that. [snorts] All right. So now that
we've got our logo there, looks clean.
What we could do is go ahead and
generate the captions together. So
essentially what you do is you just go
to text, you go to transcript, and then
I'm just going to uh I believe this is
already transcribed here. So I'm just
going to say generate static transcript.
Uh no, and then audio one.
[snorts]
So AI is going to go ahead and generate
this transcript here. And what I like to
do is remove the commas and periods. So
I just type in comma here. Replace.
replace all. It just replaces it with
nothing, so it removes it. And then
periods, replace all. So now that we
have the transcript, we could go ahead
and generate auto captions. All right.
So we let's just press create captions
right here and then press captioning
preferences
or
right here. Captioning preferences. It
was stuck there for a second. Typically,
you want to go to around 22 characters
and change the lines to single rather
than double. And then, um, you know, I
have, you know, preset styles, but I'm
not going to create one or I'm not going
to use one here just to show you guys
like the process from scratch. [snorts]
So, you could see here now the the
subtitles are generated. It looks like
this.
>> But these subtitles look like
right? So, we want to change that. So,
go to graphics and then uh click yeah,
click the subtitles, go to graphics
properties.
And what we could do now is kind of
adjust the style of the subtitles to
look a lot more nicer. So, here I'm
going to use a font called let's just
say uh what can we use? Jill Sands Bold.
I think that looks kind of decent. Um I
want to make it a little bigger so we
could see it. I don't really like that
one actually. Maybe we could use Gotham
Black instead. Yeah, that looks nice.
And then you could click this. It'll put
it in the middle of the screen. Just
like that. And then also what we want to
do is kind of go to this shadow area.
This is where we could get a little bit
more meticulous. And if we zoom in,
you'll kind of see the effects of what
I'm doing here. I just want to make the
shadow a little bit darker behind it so
it makes the white text easier to read.
[snorts]
So there you go. You can see it's
intensifying there. Obviously, don't
want to do it too intense, but something
like this, I think, looks pretty nice.
All right. So, now we can zoom back out.
And we've got the subtitles. Just like
that. I think it looks a little strong,
so I want to make it less intense. There
we go. Boom. And then what you want to
do is press this right here. This will
make it go to each uh cuz right now if
you were to look at all the rest of the
captions, they're all the the old one.
We don't want that. So instead, press
this
all captions on track and now each of
them
>> are the same.
>> Okay. And uh the thing is here
it's a little lower. So what we're going
to want to do is just go like this,
highlight all of them,
and then go to graphics and titles.
Press upgrade caption to graphic.
And now we can go ahead and move the
these captions to be on the same sort of
uh
height as these ones here. So we just
want to move them a little lower
little
higher now. Just like that.
Cool.
And we're going to want to copy this
over onto these. And now they're all the
same size.
>> The stronger your thighs are, the
stronger [clears throat] your quads are,
the longer you live. Crazy fact, the
single most important thing you can do,
the thing about greatest coralate for
preserving brain health and body.
>> So you see we've got the subtitles now
on the screen. Although you can see that
there's some mistakes. So we're going to
want to go ahead and manually correct
those. the stronger your thighs are.
>> So, the the stronger your I want to make
it look like this. Obviously, you could
choose how meticulous you want to be
with the captions here, but I'm a little
picky, so I'm going to adjust it. Make
it look a little better. stronger your
little
the stronger your little thighs are. the
stronger your quads are your quad are
the
and then here he goes the stronger your
quads are
the stronger
are the longer you live. Crazy fact, the
single most important thing you can do,
the thing you can do,
the
do the thingable greatest coralate for
preserving brain health and body health.

that?
>> Hang on. Hang on.
How crazy?
>> How crazy is that?
[snorts]
>> Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Legs tran

>> So we just want to get rid of this here.
No. Leg strength correlates with
mortality.
>> No, no. Inversely correl no.
>> He says, "No, no, no, no,
>> no, no. Inversely correlates with
mortality correlate
>> with mortality."
So [snorts] obviously the uh AI auto
captions does like 90 95% good, but you
know obviously we don't want uh 90 95%
good. We want to make it as good as
humanly possible to increase the
likelihood of us going viral as much as
possible. So that's why I'm going in and
manually adjusting these captions or uh
subtitles.
>> Correlates.
>> Yeah. So it's not I must correlate with
correlates.
>> Yeah. So it's I must
intellate.
>> So I think this is where it ends
actually right here.
>> So we could go ahead and shorten this
up. And um that is that's it. Now we
kind of have our uh fully edited clip.
It's got the subtitles. It's got the um
watermark here. The framing is right.
You know, each time the guy who's
speaking is in the middle. And uh now
what we could do is add a little
background music on it to make it more
engaging. So I'm going to drag this one
that I kind of already pulled up here.
The stronger your little thighs are. So
this is a lot louder than we want. So
let's make it a bit quieter. The
stronger your thighs are, the thronger
your quads are, the longer you live.
Crazy fact, the single most important
thing you can do, the thing about
greatest coralate for preserving brain
health and body health, leg strength,
thigh muscle mass versus and just like
that, we have our viral clip. And this
obviously falls into the category of the
[snorts] uh regular subtitle reels that
we were discussing earlier. Although
there are like uh more adjustments that
we can make to kind of make these into
subtly different formats. But first off,
um obviously there's little changes that
we can make here to make it more unique
to our own style. So for example,
instead of having like the uh watermark
here if you don't want it, what you
technically could do is
make a username or text based watermark
rather than a logo watermark. And that
would look a little something like this.
I'll show you guys.
So, I'm going to go ahead and make this
invisible. And then it would look like
this.
So, maybe if our page is called
Longevity
Lab, we could go ahead and change this
to like maybe a more thin text, you
know, something like this.
And then change the color to like gray.
Maybe like a
gray like this.
And then make it a lot smaller.
And then we could potentially place it
something like this. Maybe you've seen
these types of watermarks in the past,
but now it looks like this.
>> The stronger your thighs are, the
stronger your quads are, the longer you
live. [music]
Crazy. like that watermark works
perfectly good as well. So that's a way
you could change it, make it a little
bit more unique. Uh [snorts] you could
also, for example, if you wanted to um
go ahead and uh you know, color the
subtitles on every line. So like this,
you know, for example,
you could go like this.
Let me allow this real quick. There we
go. Um, you can make the color
like a bright green and go and change
like one word for each line to like this
green color just to make it more
engaging. Kind of make it more branded
to your brand, the stronger your
>> All right. And you could kind of
manually go ahead and do this. It would
take like a minute uh to each line. And
um yeah, that's that's pretty much it
for the most part. You know, clips like
this, even though it's so simple, like
these types of clips have the potential
to go viral. You know, the one that we
got inspiration from obviously got 3.5
million views. It wasn't more
complicated than this. And
>> [snorts]
>> uh obviously this took a little bit
longer since I was explaining the
process in depth to you guys. Uh but you
could bang out these clips in like, you
know, five five minutes, 5 10 minutes.
You know, obviously at the beginning
it'll take a little longer. You have to
get into the rhythm of it, but you know,
once you get good at it, you know, you
could bang them out. All right. So, um,
as I said, you know, this is just the
traditional subtitle format, but also
what you could do, for example, is like
this. You know, maybe you want to, um,
let's go ahead and shrink this clip a
little bit more. Maybe we wanted to make
it like,
you know, something like this [sighs]
where there it has like the black on the
top and bottom. And then we could like,
you know, make the uh hook at the top.
It would look something like
um this.
Let me go ahead and drag that,
you know, at the top. And it could be a
hook like you know.
This is another type of format. This is
like the uh you know subtitles with a
text hook at the top. And then also you
know if you wanted to you could
technically do it into the Twitter
format as well. You just have to make
things a little bit smaller, reformat
them, and then like have the logo and
the username up here, uh, similar to the
one that we had looked at earlier. But,
um, yeah, that's why I wanted to break
down this one as a tutorial because once
you kind of understand these
foundations, you can, uh, remodel the
piece of content in a few different ways
depending on which format you decide is
going to be the best based off your
research and what you believe and can
see is performing the best, right? But
um yeah, that's pretty much the whole
process. I'm going to go back and make
some edits here so we could go back to
the original way it looked
like this.
All right, this is the the whole edit.
Very simple. And now what we could do is
just go here to export. Uh you could
just copy these export settings. Very
simple. Um go to frame rate. Actually
make this 30 30 fps.
And then you could either press export
here or you could go up here, export,
and then boom, takes a few seconds,
you've got your clip, and you are all
good to go. So, um, yeah, very simple
example of how you can make a viral
subtitle reel in just 5 10 minutes.
Whether you're using Premiere Pro, Cap
Cut, uh, the process is very similar.
Like I said, there are nuance
differences, but um you could tell that
once you, you know, get into the hang of
the process here, you could bump out
like, you know, dozens of clips like
this in just one day and kind of get
your content prepared for the week, for
example. Uh makes it very, very easy,
right? So yeah, that's about it for this
tutorial and I will see you guys in the
next steps. All right. So, at this
point, you should have a lot more
clarity on the specific content strategy
with your page in your niche and how to
actually find the content, how to get
inspiration for it, and even create it.
So, now it's time for us to prepare for
launch, right? Because we're almost
there. And there's just a couple quick
steps. So, let's just dive into it.
Firstly, I suggest preparing four to
five reels for Breathing Room. All
right? And the reason I suggest this is
because keep in mind once you do begin
posting, you're going to want to stay
consistent and post at least once every
day, right? And if you're just creating
it the day of, you're kind of on the
back foot and um you know, things could
come up and you might miss your post and
that's just not good. Um whereas if you
have four or five reels or even just a
couple as breathing room, kind of on the
back burner, then it just gives you a
head start at the beginning. You could
be ahead of schedule and make sure that
you could stay consistent moving
forward. All right. On top of that, I
also suggest um kind of reviewing your
own content and making adjustments
before you make your first post, right?
Think about it like this. You don't want
to have a like a rough draft as your
first post on your page, right? Because
you want to give you don't want to give
the algorithm the impression that like,
you know, your content isn't that good
and doesn't keep people on the platform
straight from the jump, right? So, make
sure to post like a final draft uh piece
of content um as your first piece so
that way you could develop a stronger
relationship with the algorithm at the
beginning. S like kind of like a first
impression if you think about it. Now,
with that being said, you don't need to
be a perfectionist and overthink it, but
you know, make some, you know,
optimizations or adjustments after your
first time creating one or like ask a
friend to review it or someone who's
experienced that you may know to review
it and they could give you some
feedback. you can make the adjustments
and then post a final draft as your
first one rather than a rough draft. All
right, so that's number one. Number two
is then to create a cap caption
template. All right, so just to be clear
on that, a every page has their own
caption template. So for example, this
page, Neuroglobe, if you check each of
their reels, the structure is always the
same. they just have like you know uh a
bulk sort of caption here and then the
bottom half everything under my cursor
is like the same on each and every video
right so the only part that is different
is this so that's kind of like the
structure right and each page has like a
slightly different structure as you can
see uh with these screenshots here the
principle is the same it's just like
some text and then something that's copy
and paste off of each reel uh but
they're slightly different now this
comes down to having a uh caption
template structure structure
essentially, right? And this is niche
dependent. So some captions in certain
niches are more similar whereas others
might be different. So I just suggest,
you know, taking a look at your niche
research again, for example, seeing what
captions uh on the highest fastest
growing pages there look like just for
some inspiration. But typically, this is
like a proven structure right here. It's
one custom hook, two custom bulk text,
and then three a copy and paste footer,
right? which is typically the follow CTA
and hashtags. So that in practice looks
like this. This is the hook which is
step one of the structure and then this
is like the bulk which is part two of
the structure and then three this is
like the copy and paste um footer which
is on each reel. Right? So we're going
to go over more about this in a second
like how to actually create a template
with AI. That way, each time you need to
post a new video, all you do is kind of
like uh one simple step, telling the AI
what to do and giving it context, and
then it'll spit you out like the perfect
well ststructured caption, right? That
way it could be quick and easy. So,
let's just dive straight into it. Now
that we've prepared for launch properly,
we're ready to officially launch, which
is going to be pretty exciting because
up until this point, you know, we've
just been creating the page and, you
know, putting things together, warming
it up, you know, exploring the content,
learning about it, editing it, but now
we're actually going to start making
some progress, right? Aside from just
getting things set up. So, that's
exciting. Now, let's just dive straight
into it. So, the first thing that you're
going to want to nail down once you do
launch is a posting schedule. And like I
just mentioned a second ago, you're
going to want to post at least once per
day. All right? Ideally, two to three
times if you can because the more volume
at the beginning and in general, the
better as long as you're not sacrificing
quality. Okay? But just remember, at
least once per day. And then target
first world country audience. And you
can do this by just posting between 9:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. uh Eastern Standard
Time. All right? I'm going to add that
in here actually, Eastern Standard Time.
And then also you could schedule the
posts which I suggest because it's just
more automated. You don't have to think
about it. Or you could post them
manually. And keep in mind you could
schedule posts directly through
Instagram. Most of you guys should be
able to. Uh or you could just post them
manually. Sometimes people just keep
them in the drafts. That way when
they're ready to post, they just log in,
press a couple buttons, and then it
posts. And just to clear up, it doesn't
affect reach if you schedule directly
through Instagram. So you don't need to
worry about that. So once you have a
posting schedule set, then you want to
make sure that you know exactly how to
do the captions. So just a moment ago,
we went over like uh caption template
structure, but now we could dive a
little bit deeper into how to actually
create proper captions. So what I
suggest here first is just revisiting
the niche research. Again, this is the
best thing to do for inspiration. Just
see what the fastest growing pages in
your niche are actually doing and what
their captions look like. But in most
cases, whether you see it from other
pages in your niche, which you probably
will, or even if you don't, longer cap
uh longer captions are typically best,
right? Because of a couple main reasons.
First, it increases watch time, right?
Because when there's a longer caption,
there's more for people to read. It
takes longer for them to read it.
Sometimes they like watch the video
first and then they see there's a long
caption and then go read the caption and
then the video plays twice. And it just
increases uh overall watch time, right?
And as we've gone over, this is the most
important metric that the algorithm
looks at when determining whether to
push your video or not. Right? So that's
good. And then another thing is it
increases follower conversion. And the
reason it does is because longer
captions provide more value to the
viewer. So let's just say viewer watches
one piece of content and it has like a
short like quick caption, right? Maybe
the viewer gets some value from it.
Whereas the viewer watches, let's just
say the same video in a hypothetical
scenario. The same exact video, but it
has a longer caption, which is more
in-depth, adds more context for the
viewer, makes it more interesting, and
also there's a clear takeaway from the
caption. You know, who do you which
video do you think the viewer is going
to get more value from? It's the one
with the longer caption, right? They
feel like they got more value. They feel
like it impacted them more. And because
of that, it makes them more likely to
follow you, right? because the more
value that someone gets from your reel
or content, the more you impact them,
the more likely it is that they want to
see more of that content, right? So,
that's why long captions are typically
best. Those are two main reasons. And of
course, we're going to use AI to come to
our rescue here to make our lives a
whole lot easier. So, I'm going to zoom
out again here. This is a prompt that
you guys could copy and paste straight
into AI. So, feel free to take a
screenshot. And you're just going to
want to customize what is in here to
your specific niche, right? And give it
some context. Now, there's a couple
tools that I believe are very important
to get used to. Makes your job a whole
lot easier. So, let's just say you're
posting a reel that is similar to the
one that we did the editing tutorial
for, like a subtitle reel. Um, there's
going to be a transcript of that reel,
right? And if you could just copy and
paste that transcript into chat GPT or
any AI,
it could spit out a really good high
quality caption for you, right, with the
template structure that you give it. And
the template structure, by the way, is
just something you create once and then
you just copy and paste it onto each one
or AI will do it for you. So these two
tools, Turboscribe and Unos Uniscribe,
they do the exact same thing. Uh it's
essentially an AI transcripting tool,
right? And they have free versions. They
let you do three per day for free. All
right. And all you have to do is just
like once you're done editing your
video, just drag the MP4 into like
Turboscribe. It's going to give you a
transcript like a few seconds later. And
then all you have to do is copy and
paste that transcript into a new prompt,
which I'm going to show you right here.
Right. So, here's an example. So, let's
just say you have this video.
>> Darling, give me the advice. Let's go.
>> You [music] cannot control or dictate.
>> No. All right. So, like a, you know,
woman's mindset type uh video, right?
So, here's the caption for this reel.
Uh, I believe this reel did very, very
good as well. Got a few million views.
So, here's what you're going to want to
do. So, firstly, download the reel that
you're getting inspiration from or the
competitor one, ideally one that went
viral, has proof of concept, and then
you're going to want to get the
transcript from that reel using one of
these tools that I mentioned, and paste
it into this script here or into this
prompt. and then go to the actual
caption of the same reel and then copy
and paste it into this section of the
prompt. Right? Because what this is
going to do, this prompt here, it's
going to like pretty much analyze the
structure of it. That way you could
repeat it or make a similar one
yourself. All right? So then once you do
that, then there's this other prompt
here. I'm going to zoom out so you could
screenshot it. [snorts]
you're just going to want to
uh use this prompt and customize it in a
similar sense, right? So, obviously here
uh you're going to want to put your
specific CTA that you want to have in
each and every one of your reels. Also,
you want to do four to five hashtags,
which we'll go over here in a second as
well, and make the tone however you'd
like it. All right? And customize
whatever you need to here. But these two
prompts should get you started. This
one's kind of like mimicking the
structure of a competitor or a high
performing reel. And then this is making
it custom to your uh specific page. That
way each time you go to create a new
reel, all you have to do is copy and
paste the transcript into the same chat
that you've been chatting with the AI
and then they're just going to pump out
a new caption that's ready for you to
post with the whole caption template
structure and everything. All right, so
that's how you do this the most
effective way, the most time efficient
way. So, now that we've gone over that,
let's go over hashtags because, as I
just mentioned here, you're going to
want to have um some hashtags most of
the time in your uh uh caption template
structure. And what I suggest is five
hashtags, three general, and two custom.
So, what I mean by this is like, let's
just say you're in the business niche.
Like your three general hashtags that
you could have on every single reel is
like entrepreneurship, business, and
money or
businessmen or entrepreneurship or
entrepreneur like three general ones and
then have two custom for the specific
reel, right? Like let's just say it's a
real about Elon Musk. You'd say um
business entrepreneur entrepreneurship
Elon Musk Tesla, right? And then boom,
that's your five captions. And then if
it's one about Steve Jobs, you know, uh,
business, entrepreneurship,
entrepreneur, Steve Jobs, Apple, right?
Then boom. So that's what I would
suggest for hashtags. Again, it's not
too big of a deal here. So don't
overthink it. Um, you know, if the
content is good enough quality, you
don't even need hashtags. That's pretty
much what it comes down to. All right,
[snorts] so with all of this being said,
you're officially ready to begin
posting. All right, so that's pretty
exciting. Like I mentioned, we've done
all of this work up until now to put us
in the best possible position to start
posting and start crushing it. All
right, so another just precursor here.
Again, make sure to stay consistent.
Post at least one time per day. And then
again, don't hesitate to spend a little
bit more time in the preparation phase
just to make sure you have that
breathing room and also to make sure
that you know you're auditing your
content enough to the point where it's
high enough quality to start off at the
beginning, right? just to make that good
first impression with the algorithm as I
referred to. So yeah, with that being
said, let's move on to the next step
here, which is organic growth. Let's get
into it. All right, so at this point,
you've launched your page. Now it's time
to grow it, right? It's time to build
that audience, to get in front of that
attention. And remember, as I've
emphasized multiple times at this point,
content is king. It's by far the most
important pillar here. It's going to be
the main fuel to your fire, the main
driver of your organic growth. Okay? If
your content is poor quality and nobody
wants to watch it or engage with it,
then any other growth strategy is
irrelevant. Seriously, nothing else
really is going to matter if your
content is bad quality. So, I just want
to reemphasize that again. Content is
king. And with that being said, there's
a couple things that we could do on our
own towards the beginning to like, you
know, let's say build some initial
engagement and build some momentum, some
more manual things that we're going to
go over here in a second that can help
at the beginning, but especially once
you're across the first 100, you know, a
few thousand followers, content does all
of the work, okay? And you don't have to
do those manual things, even though it
still helps. And regarding the actual
specific forms and mediums of content,
reels are by far the best way to start
off. They're the best for reach and
exposure. And one viral reel can
literally skyrocket your page overnight.
You'd be surprised how much one single
reel could do for you, right? Because
Instagram gives reels a chance. As we've
gone over earlier, if you're giving them
a reason to keep pushing your reel out
further, they will give your reel the
chance, right? Not going to be right at
the beginning as your first post. Maybe
it'll take like, you know, your first uh
couple dozens of posts, but Instagram
does give your content a chance. And
again, like I said, you could be
surprised, you would be surprised how
fast things could pick up with just one
viral reel because at that point, we're
going to go over this in more detail
later, you get some more momentum. And
if you could capitalize off that the
right way, you could grow very, very
quickly. All right. At the same time,
carousels and posts are still good
content formats, but they're not the
best to start off with at the beginning.
Depending on the niche, for most niches,
you're going to want to integrate them
later down the line because maybe like
around 10 to 30k followers. They're
really good for nurturing and educating
your audience, like when you're focusing
on conversion later down the line. And
they also still have the potential to go
viral and to get pushed out and to get
lots of views and followers. All right,
just at the beginning, you're going to
want to stick with reals in like 90% of
cases. Okay, again, do your niche
research and take a look at your
competitors. [snorts]
Um, and again, if your big competitors
are posting post in real uh carousels,
like they have 100k followers, that
doesn't necessarily mean that you should
do the same, right? Because the content
that they posted to get to that point is
probably different than the content that
they posted now. So, just as a rule of
thumb, stick with reals at the
beginning. Okay? Now, something else
that you could do aside of that to kind
of contribute towards the likelihood of
you going viral is using trending audio.
This is super [snorts] important. A lot
of you guys, I'm sure, know this or have
this in mind, but using trending audio
significantly increases the likelihood
of your reel going viral. So, I suggest
to create a folder of trending and
highquality audios for your niche
specific content style, right? just to
have uh have them there for you
conveniently. Maybe between five to 10
or five to 15 different high quality
trending audios within your niche
[snorts] and how you find these audios.
Don't do the ones that Instagram just
suggests to you. It might say trending,
but that doesn't ne necessarily mean
they're actually what they're pushing.
What I do suggest is the same way we did
the viral content research to figure out
like what kind of clips to choose or
what like quotes to choose for example,
you could do the same and pay attention
to the background music of the highest
performing reels from your competitors
in the last 30 days. Go look through all
of them, find the ones that have
performed the best, look to see what
those audios are, and then download
them, put them into a folder. And what
you might find when doing this is that
you're there's a pattern between
specific sounds, maybe a handful that
are getting pushed and really going
viral. So those are ones that you're
going to also want to keep in mind.
Okay, so create a folder of trending
audio. Super important. And uh again,
this is going to be revisiting the viral
content research. So the same way we did
it for the content, you could just go
back to your niche research worksheet.
You could look at the pages they're
following, go on Filefinder, do some
intentional scrolling, and based off the
outliers, the highest performing uh
piece of content that you see, just
download the music from there, put them
into a folder. Okay, so now that we've
gone over that, I want to go over a
couple more manual organic growth
strategies. All right, so as I
mentioned, primarily these are going to
give you some initial engagement and
momentum towards the beginning. And as I
also mentioned, they're not as important
once you're already gaining some
traction, you've gained your first few
hundred, first few thousand followers.
These are just some some things that you
can do on your own just to kind of speed
up that process and get some initial
engagement and momentum. All right, so
as a precursor before we dive into this,
there's some safe limits on Instagram
for how often you can do certain
actions, right? So, this goes back to
like some of the concepts from warming
up your page where you don't want to
send any red flags or negative signals
to Instagram about your account, right?
So, for example, if you were to go and
spam like dozens of likes and copy and
paste comments and DMing like a hundred
people, [snorts] Instagram sees that as
like suspicious user activity, irregular
behavior, maybe bot activity, and they
could like put some restrictions onto
your page, and you don't want that,
right? So, here are the safe limits to
keep in mind. 10 to 20 likes per hour, 5
to 10 comments per hour. Uh, and then
you can just read this just so you don't
go over these limits. Okay, this will
keep your account in good standing. Now,
the first specific strategy is called
the one two punch strategy. And I'm just
going to give you guys a rundown on how
to like execute each of these strategies
and why they're important. Okay, so the
first step of this strategy is to find
an active account in the same niche as
you with under 10k followers. Then
you're going to go into their followers
or following list and find other active
smaller accounts in your niche. So, this
is like the following method, following
list method that we've gone over uh so
far in the past throughout this video.
And then you're going to want to follow
these pages, like three to five of their
latest posts, and leave a meaningful
comment. All right. So, what this is
going to do is essentially put your page
out there, right, for others to see. And
that way, if your content isn't getting
immediate tons of traction right at the
beginning, you're still doing things in
your power to put yourself out there and
kind of like uh get people familiar with
your page, your logo, your branding, and
just kind of asserting a presence in the
niche. All right? So, I suggest doing
this five to 10 times an hour,
especially right before and right after
you post. That way, you know, people,
this this is what goes into the next
point. This leverages the law of uh
reciprocation. So when you go onto an
account that's maybe a similar size as
you and you like some of their videos
and you comment, that other small
account is going to see that and kind of
feel obliged to do the same for you,
right? This is the law of reciprocation.
They're going to feel like a debt that
they have to pay to you. So then if they
see you post, they might like follow you
and like and comment on your post. And
if you've got like a few people doing
this when you post, it's just going to
start boosting some um initial momentum
and engagement for your videos at the
beginning. All right, so that's why this
is important. The next strategy is
called the stealing followers strategy.
All right? And here's how you do it.
First, you find two to three large
accounts in your niche, like between 100
to 500K. I suggest uh not more than
500K, or else this becomes a little bit
more challenging. And then once you find
these two to three accounts, follow them
and turn their post notifications on.
And then once they post, aim to be the
first to leave a meaningful comment.
Right? All right. So, obviously
sometimes you're not going to be on your
phone when they post, but other times if
you are and you see the notification,
just click on it and try to be the first
to leave a meaningful comment. Then what
you could do is like your own comment
with another account that you have, like
maybe a burner to give it a boost so
that it shows up at the top of the
comment lists and it gives the
opportunity for this comment to go
viral, right? Especially if it's like a
witty uh interesting comment. Um,
obviously don't like spend 10 minutes
thinking about it, but maybe something
you think of after a minute. uh
something that could go viral and the
whole goal is to have it show up at the
top of that um comment list so that when
anyone checks the uh caption or the
comments, they'll see your comment
there. And this could be powerful
because if these pages have 100 to 500k
followers, they've got lots of traction
coming onto the page. It's just kind of
like putting yourself where the
attention is going, right? And I've seen
pages gain up to hundreds of followers
with just one of their comments popping
off. Obviously, not every single one is
going to do this. This is more rare, but
it gives the opportunity for this. And
also stay consistent with this strategy
for a couple weeks just to see which
page is giving you the most traction.
Then just stick with one page and
whenever you're on your phone and you
see the post notification, just feel
free to click on it and try to leave a
quick comment so that you can
potentially go viral and just get some
extra attention and follows. And the
third organic growth strategy is going
to be a shout out for shoutout and real
collaboration. All right. So, just for
some context to give you clarity on what
this even is, a shout out for shoutout
is where you shout out someone else's
page and that same person shouts out
your page as well just to kind of
introduce each other to your guys'
audience. And then a collaboration is
actually a feature that's integrated
with an Instagram where you can post a
reel and invite a collaborator and they
could accept it and it'll show that
you've both posted it as like partners
or they could invite you and you could
accept it. All right? So, I suggest
reaching out to other accounts with a
similar size following as you in your
niche with like a simple simple uh
similar content style and also ideally
high-quality content and ask if they'd
be down to do a shout out for shout out
with you. And I suggest doing the same
for asking about a real collaboration.
As I mentioned, these allow you to tap
into their network and vice versa. They
tap into your network. Okay. Uh this
very simple, just reach out to someone
and you don't have to think about it as
very transactional. You could think
about it as kind of like maybe
developing a relationship as well,
networking, getting to know some other
people in the space and in your niche.
Maybe you guys could have a chat and see
if you could learn something from each
other, for example. It'll never hurt to
do those sorts of things. And it's
optional at the end of the day. But
then, yeah, after speaking with them,
just um ask if they'd be down for one of
these. And if they're around the same
size as you and the same niche as you,
your guys' content is similar, there's
really no reason why they wouldn't be
down. All right? And then also if you're
like a few hundred followers, you might
be able to reach out to someone with a
few thousand followers and maybe you'll
get lucky and they'll be down to do it
anyways. All right, so that's the third
strategy. And then the fourth one here
is comment replies. So I suggest that
you guys reply to all comments that you
get on your content with a additional
question or comment. And then also you
could pin your favorite comments. This
is essentially just going to incentivize
and encourage future engagement, right?
So, for example, imagine, you know,
you're the viewer and you see a reel and
you uh comment on it and take the time
to think of something and, you know, you
see that the person like likes it and
maybe pins it and people are replying to
it, you know, it incentivizes
psychologically in the viewer's mind
like and gives them a reason to do it
again in the future, right? So that way
you can maybe have some consistent
people engaging with your content, which
is what we want. And then lastly, what
you could do is aim for opportunities to
subtly start a debate in your comment
section. This is going to drive some
more engagement and boost your content
in the algorithm. All right, so uh
there's a couple different ways that you
could do this. Number one, um obviously
don't rage bait too hard to where it's
like, you know, not uh doesn't look
good, but also feel free to like stir
the pot a little bit, right? Find clever
ways to do this that are like subtle.
And then you could do this with your own
theme page or you could go in with a
burner account and like, you know, start
some arguments in the comments, right?
because if Instagram sees that that
people are coming back to like reply to
comments, there's like a, you know, war
going on in the comment section, like
that's just going to push your reel
further. Okay, so those are the four
organic growth strategies. And then just
a couple more bonus tips before we move
on is number one, you're going to get
access to professional insights once you
hit 100 followers. Right? All right. So,
this is just sort of a tool that
Instagram gives you on your account
where you could see some details about
your audience like their location, the
age range, gender ratio, their most
active times, etc. So, this is just
helpful. You know, you could see where
your audience is from. Ideally, you want
to see that they're from first world
countries, developed nations, and then
also you want to hope that the age range
and the gender is matching, you know,
your niche and the type of people you're
trying to go after, right? [snorts] And
then two is style consistency. Okay? So
once you pick a niche, you brand your
page, you create your content style,
stick with it at least 30 days, right?
So once you start posting with a
specific content style, the ones that
we've gone over, maybe it's one of
those, maybe it's a different one.
Whatever it is, stick with it for 30
days, you know, that's going to give
Instagram enough time to like understand
your content, what it's like, what type
of people might be engaging with it, and
they'll send it out to the right people
and give it a chance, right? Whereas, if
you change it after just like a few
days, just because you feel like it, you
know, it's not even giving Instagram a
chance to see what's going to work. All
right? So, don't make emotional
decisions just because you think
something looks cooler or because you
had one reel which flopped. It's
important to give the algorithm enough
time to understand your content and who
to show it to. That way, you can make
logical decisions based on real data.
Right? So, you do a proper sort of test
period. After that test period,
logically you take a look, see what's
working, what's not working, and then
you make decisions from there. All
right? Don't, you know, jump the gun too
early and make decisions just based off
irrational reasons. All right. So, now
that we've gone over content growth,
let's dive more into a little bit more
depth on how to convert as many
followers as possible from your content.
All right. So, at this point, you should
be pumping out some new content on a
daily basis. And this is what's going to
put your page out there. you're going to
begin attracting some attention, some
viewers, and also converting followers.
But there's also a couple things that we
can do on our end in order to enhance
that follower conversion process and
just get more followers from the same
amount of views that we're bringing in.
All right, so there's just a couple
things. Let's dive into the first one,
which is the pinned comment method. So,
for this one, once you notice that one
of your reels is beginning to get some
traction, some momentum is kind of
blowing up and just performing above
average, what you could do is go to the
comment section on either your account
or a burner account. And a burner
account is just like another account
that you have that you use to like like
and comment on your own uh content and
leave a comment similar to these right
here. Right? So, for example, this one,
the best thing I did this month was
follow this page. And then what you
could do is go back to it and pin it,
right? Go and pin this comment and reply
to it with a heart or something like
this guy. Then this guy also uh dropped
his own comment. He said, "If you mess
with these edits, make sure to drop a
follow because we're cooking bangers
every day." Um, so obviously you could
make it custom to your niche, but if
this was like a health niche, just say,
"If you learn something new, make sure
to drop a follow because we're um
pumping out new content every day or uh,
you know, spreading awareness about
health every day." That's another
example. And then this is the same
account that we saw earlier. This said,
"Followed paid your pay your editor
more. These are awesome." And then this
person replied, right? And they pinned
it at the top. So, what happens when you
pin at the top is it just shows up to
the top of the comment section so that
everyone who actually checks the comment
section will see that um comment since
it's pinned at the top and it will
motivate many people to follow who
wouldn't have otherwise. Right? This
obviously doesn't mean everyone's going
to go follow your page as soon as they
see this. But these right here are
little subconscious cues, right? Right?
These are subconscious messages that if
someone is, you know, if they see a post
that they like and they go to the
comment section, they see that other
people like like the content and even
followed, they might even end up
following without even realizing and
going on to the next reel, right? So,
it's a subconscious cue. And again, this
is not going to bring in millions of
followers, but it could help convert
more than you would have if you didn't
have this type of pinned comment. Okay?
Um, and then you also have the option to
edit the caption as well and put a
follow CTA in the top line once you see
a real popping off. So, with this method
here, you're either leaving a comment
yourself and then pinning it and
replying to it or um yeah, exactly that.
Or what you could do is go back into the
caption because once you make a post
with a caption, you could actually go
back and edit the caption and you could
change the top line to a follow CTA.
Something as simple as this, right? That
way, everyone who's scrolling will see
this at on the first line and even if
they don't tap open the comment uh
caption. Yeah, even if they don't tap
open the caption and read all of it,
even if they don't go into the comment
section, they're still seeing it right
here, right? So, it could help just
increase some follower conversion. It's
a simple subconscious cue. So, that's
number one that could help, especially
if you get a reel that gets like, you
know, 500K, 1 million, 5 million views.
A little adjustment like this, like
literally going back and doing a little
um follow CTA, whether it's in the
caption or in the comment section, can
bring you like hundreds, if not
thousands of extra followers just from
this little method. So, I really suggest
you do it. Uh, for other like regular
reels, it's not going to make too big of
a difference, but for the ones that I
mentioned are like performing above
average, I suggest it. Now, something
else that you could do is utilize trial
reels. All right, so a lot of you maybe
have heard of trial reels but don't know
what it means, or maybe some of you
haven't even ever heard of it, but
essentially, uh, trial reels are only
shown to nonfollowers, right? So,
they're just like reels, but they're
only shown to non-f followers, whereas
regular reels are shown to some
followers and mostly non-followers, as
we went over earlier. All right. And
also, this feature is most people get
access to it when they cross 1,000
followers. And it would look something
like this. Like, right before you press
share, you're going to see like a little
toggle here where you could change it to
a trial re, right? So, this means it
doesn't show up like on your main reels
feed. it shows up into like a separate
feed for trial reels specifically and it
only gets shown to non followers. And
also keep in mind that some pages never
get access to this and others get access
to it even earlier. So it's just an
inconsistent feature amongst Instagram
pages. Uh Instagram has a couple
features like that like broadcast
channels and um a couple others. But uh
just you'll have to check yourself to
see if you have it. I have access to it
on like half of my accounts, but then on
the other half I don't have access to it
even though I've crossed the 10,000
follower threshold. And then I have also
spoken with people who have like 100
followers and they have access to it.
So, uh there's really no set in stone
sort of criteria. It's like Instagram
says it's 1,000 followers, but that's
not necessarily the case, right? So,
just check yourself, see if I have
access to it. So, the whole benefit of
trial reels, the reason why they're
important and the reason I'm bringing
them up is because they allow you to
increase posting volume with minimal
additional effort. Okay? And let me
explain exactly how. So, with regular
reels, like without trials, this is what
it would look like. You know, you go
through the content creation process
that we've already kind of gone over
depending on your specific template that
you chose. And once you create the reel,
you post it, right? And that's it. And
then it's like, okay, that's it. Now
you're on to the next reel. So you're
getting one pretty much one output from
that work of creating that reel. Whereas
with trial reels, what you can do is get
multiple like for example four different
outputs from the same amount of work.
Maybe a little bit of extra work, right?
So let's just say you have the original
reel like this just as is. But then what
you could do is post this as your
regular reel, but then go back and edit
it afterwards and maybe change the
subtitles, like change a different to a
different font, right? Or a different
style of the subtitles, the ones that
come up on the screen. And then you
could download that one and post it as a
trial re, right? Then you could go back
and keep the same subtitles, but maybe
use a different hook, right? So just
change this here to something else that
you're exper experimenting with or
testing with that maybe you think will
do better. and then post this as a trial
reel. And then you could go back and
then do the same thing, but just use a
different background music, like a
different audio, and post that as a
trial rail. And now what you've done is
from essentially the same amount of
work, maybe just a little bit extra
because you have to go back and change a
couple things, you're getting you're
getting four total posts now rather than
one post, right? And keep in mind, you
still get views from trial reels. You
can still get followers. You still even
have the potential to go viral with
trial reels, right? So that's why I
suggest posting um like for example
multiple different versions of the same
reel, one of them into your main feed.
That way you're not like being
repetitive to your actual followers and
then you could post like two or three
others into trial reels. All right, by
just changing little things. You can't
post the exact same um duplicate video
as a real and a trial reel, but it will
let you change like little details like
this, right? So that way by just a
little extra work and going back and
changing it and then redownloading it,
you now have like four different
versions of the content rather than just
one, right? So logically you should be
able to grow three or four times faster
if you're posting three or four times
more. Okay? And also since you could
easily isolate different variables, you
could also split test and track the data
to see what's working, right? So, for
example, you know, these are different
uh variables here, like different
subtitles, maybe the font or a different
hook. Maybe you could copy the same
exact hook from a competitor on one and
then like change it a little bit on a
different one. Or maybe you could just
use a different audio. And you could go
back and like kind of look at all the
data, which we're going to go over how
to do in a second, and it will allow you
to see what's working best, right?
Because when you're testing multiple
things, you could actually most likely
find patterns on things that are
performing better than if you hadn't
tracked it. All right. So, those are the
two things that I suggest that you guys
do in order to increase follower
conversion, right? And just kind of
speed up the growth process. It's the
pinned comment strategy or changing the
caption and then the trial reels as
well, right? So, now that we've gone
over that, let's go over how to double
down, right? Because most people when
they're growing their page, they only
get like maybe one viral reel and they
get some initial momentum, but then it
drops back down to like a few thousand
views and they're barely getting any
followers and then they are right back
to being stuck to being complacent,
right? We don't want that. We want for
when we get a viral reel to immediately
understand why it went viral and how to
double down on it, how to capitalize off
of it, right? By understanding why that
reel went viral and doing more of it,
right? not copying it and just
duplicating it, but doing more of what
is similar to what has worked, right?
What's been proven to work. So that's
what we're going to go over right now.
This is exactly how you double down. All
right? So for doubling down, there's
three main steps involved. All right?
And those steps are one to identify
outliers or reels that are performing
above average. two, to reverse engineer
these reels and understand why they went
viral, why they performed well, why they
resonated with your niche more compared
to like other reels. And then three,
once we understand it better, the
different variables at play and how we
could do more of it, then we double down
and we do more of what's been proven to
work, that way we could go viral more
predictably and more consistently,
right? Rather than just getting a
one-off reel and not being able to do it
again. Okay, so let's go go to step one,
which is how to identify the type of
content which performs best on your
page. So this is all about obtaining
data. All right, and what I want you
guys to do is identify the highest
performing pieces of content that you've
posted over the last 90 days. Okay, so
for example, if you've just started
posting and you only have like, you
know, a dozen or a couple dozen reels up
there, you know, you don't really have
enough data to work with and maybe
nothing's really taken off or performed
yet, right? So, if you're in that stage,
it's just all about volume, right? Post
more and try to increase the quality of
the content that you're posting each
time. And later down the line, once you
do have more volume, once you have like,
you know, several dozen posts up, then
you kind of have enough data to work
with. Maybe once you're above like 30,
35, above 40 posts, that's when you have
enough data to work with. And at that
point, you're most likely going to have
some above average reels, some outliers,
and that's when you could begin
employing this process. Okay? And I also
want to clarify what I mean by highest
performing, right? Because you might be
asking or thinking to yourself, you
know, what what does high performing
even mean? Like what qualifies a reel as
high performing? So here are the metrics
that you essentially want to look at.
It's the views, the follows, and the
shares. Okay? So views is the least
important of these three, but if you
have a specific reel that's generating
you significantly more followers
compared to your other reels or is
getting significantly more shares
compared to your other reels, that's
what we want to see, right? because that
means, you know, these are moving the
needle. These are doing a great service
to our page, our page's growth. So,
that's what we want to track more
specifically is the specific reels that
are outliers when it comes to the
followers and shares because that's what
matters at the end of the day more than
views. Okay? And you can this you can
look this up manually just by scrolling
through your page and like, you know,
looking through it yourself. But there's
a much more efficient way to do this
which I'm going to break down right now
how to check. Most people don't know uh
that this even exists on Instagram. So,
first up, you're going to want to go to
the hamburger icon in the top right of
your profile. Then, you're going to
scroll and look for insights. Click
that. Then, click on content you shared
right here. And then, what's going to
happen is Instagram is going to give you
a dashboard of all of the content that
you've posted and allow you to filter it
through time period and a specific
metric, right? So, for the time period,
you could do in the last 30 days or the
last 90 days, like last 3 months. And
for the metric, you could filter it to
how many followers that how many follows
that you got from the reel and how many
shares that you got from the reel,
right? They have more options that you
could filter through, but this is what I
suggest actually paying attention to.
Okay? And it'll look something like
this. So, it'll come up with like a
dashboard of your content listed out
like this, similar to how it would look
on your actual profile feed, but it
gives you these toggles up here where
you could press and select the time
period. So, I suggest doing 30 days or 3
months. and then sort and filter where
you could sort by highest amount of
follows or highest amount of shares.
Okay? And it will tell you. So this is
very helpful because that way you know
we don't have to like scroll through it
manually. We could kind of just like
filter it and find exactly what we're
looking for with these filters, right?
It's the quickest way to do it. And then
also once you do do this, I want you to
select five to 10 pieces of content to
analyze in depth. Right? So obviously
again if you're in the earlier stage
maybe you only have like three outlier
pieces of content that have performed
above average and have done really well.
So in that case just analyze those ones
in depth. Or maybe you're watching this
and you've already posted you know lots
more. Maybe you've already posted like
um a couple hundred times and you have
five to 10 pieces that have gone viral.
In that case, perfect. Analyze those
ones. No matter what number it is
specifically, just figure out which
pieces of content that you've posted
have been outliers and performed above
average and then take those to the next
step that we're going to go over right
now. All right, so this is how you
identify the viral content. And now once
we've identified it, now we have to
reverse engineer why these specific
pieces of content performed well. Right?
So this is all about understanding and
analyzing the data now since we've
obtained it. Right? With that being
said, this is super important to
understand. High performing content
doesn't happen on accident, right? It
doesn't happen on accident. Instagram
didn't just like wake up one day and
say, "Oh, you know, look at this guy. He
posted. Let's just push out his piece of
content." That's not how Instagram
thinks. There's always a very logical
and rational reason as to why the
content performed well. Always a reason,
right? Not sometimes, always a reason.
And it's our job as creators to
understand the reason or reasons as to
why Instagram pushed out our content,
right? It would be, let's just say,
irresponsible as a creator to see a real
on our page go viral and not do our due
diligence to take the time and really
not on a surface level try and think why
it went viral, but to really sit there
and peel back the layers and understand
exactly precisely why it went viral. If
we could do that for each piece of
content that performs above average, not
only on our page, but on other people's
pages, it gives us that knowledge and
that skill of the different patterns
that contribute towards high performance
for these reels, right? And how you do
that the most effective way is simply
just by asking yourself questions about
the reel, right? So, for example, let's
just say you posted a reel, got 3
million views, thousands of followers,
tons of shares, and this was an outlier
on your page. You know, you should be
asking yourself these questions about
that reel. And obviously the questions
that you ask yourself are going to
depend on the style of content, right?
But let's just say it was a subtitle re
real, right? We could ask, what made
people stop scrolling when they came
across this reel? What emotion did it
trigger in the viewer? Why did others
watch it to the end? Right? Because if
it performed well, obviously there's
people, a good contingent of them who've
watched a lot of it or to the end. What
made people comment or share? And also,
how can I repeat this in my own unique
way? Right? All right, so these are
examples of questions that you could
ask. And keep in mind, as I mentioned,
this does depend on your specific niche,
content style, and content format, like
whether it's reals, posts, or carousels,
right? So, these are pretty standard
questions that you should be able to
apply to yourself, but keep in mind you
might need to like ask different
questions depending on your content
style. Okay? But ones that you could
always ask, for example, is like, what
made people stop scrolling? You know, if
a high performing piece of content is
there, something about it made people
stop scrolling. So understanding that is
like one of the most important
questions. So with that being said,
answering these questions about your top
performing content will help you better
understand the why they performed well
in the first place, right? Understanding
this why is going to be so key because
if you could understand the why, that
means you could do it again in the
future, right? So seek to identify
patterns, right? Especially if you have
multiple high performing pieces of
content at this point, you want to
really understand what these outliers
have in common. if anything, right? So,
there are always blatant patterns. Not
always, but sometimes there are, and you
wouldn't have known unless you really
analyzed and looked deep for them. All
right? And we could do that ourselves,
of course, but we've got to utilize AI,
right? As we have been all the way up
until now. AI makes our life a whole lot
easier, a lot more efficient. And for
example, it's a lot better at, you know,
humans are better at lots of things, but
AI is a lot better at like analyzing
data, discovering patterns, and coming
up with insights from it, right? So, we
want to utilize it. And here's what we
could do. We could copy and paste all
the questions and responses into chat
GPT and ask it to analyze them for any
significant insights. Right? So all the
questions that we ask ourselves about
the different pieces of viral content,
we could then feed all of that data to
chat GPT and then they can give us some
insight with it. Right? So here's a big
boy prompt right here that you guys
could screenshot if you'd like. Um
essentially you're just going to give
this prompt to chat GPT or any AI and
say, "Hey, you're acting like a senior
Instagram growth strategist. Analyze my
top performing reels." And then what
what you could do is just give context
about your page, your niche, your target
audience and then just paste in your uh
analysis of the viral piece of content
and then it's just going to kind of
identify the patterns, understand what's
actually driving the high performance,
give some insight, etc. All right, so
this should be this should be super
super helpful. I really suggest that you
guys use this because again us humans
are decent at identifying patterns. some
people better than others, but AI always
pulls through or most of the time it
does with this type of stuff. All right,
so I suggest it. Now, once you have a
deeper understanding of why specific
pieces of content have performed well,
you're able to do more of it and go
viral more consistently and predictably.
That's the whole goal, right? This is
why we're doing this because again, we
don't want to be one of those people who
just gets a viral reel and then we get
some momentum for a few days, we're
happy, we're seeing the numbers, but
then it just fizzles out and we're back
to like, you know, average reels, even
below average reels and things comp uh
get stuck and stagnate again. We don't
want that. We want to be able to go
viral and then analyze it and then do it
again and again and again and again.
That's how you see these pages blowing
up to like, you know, hundreds of
thousands of followers, thousands of
followers a day. It's because they know
how to do this. All right. And this way,
we're not just guessing, you know, we're
simply taking the data that Instagram
gives us on exactly what performs well
and what our viewers and followers want
to see in real time. And then we're
using the insights from this data to
double down on what's been proven to
work. All right? So, that's key. That
way, we're not just like irrationally,
you know, emotionally making decisions
on like what we think might perform
well. We're simply taking a look at the
data. We're taking a look at what
Instagram has told us in real time has
performed well and what our audience
wants to see. We're evaluating that data
and we're making logical decisions based
off of it for what we could do in the
future. That's how you go viral
consistently and predictably. All right.
So, now that we've obtained all of the
data, we've analyzed it and understood
it. Now, the question is how we can
employ this properly for our specific
page and our specific niche to double
down and do more of what we've seen to
be proven to work. Right? So this comes
down to replicating the content. Okay.
So just to summarize, doubling down
means strategically replicating what's
been proven to work without becoming too
repetitive. All right? So you don't want
to just copy and paste the same thing
over and over again and like you know
make your audience bored and you know to
the point where they could like expect
what each of your reels is going to look
like. We don't want that. But we do want
to take the pillars and the elements and
the concepts of the high performing
reels and strategically replicate these
in a way where it isn't repetitive.
Right? That way we get the best of both
worlds. We're doing more of what's been
proven to work so we could go more
viral, but we're also keeping our
audience engaged and happy and not
spamming them. Right? So now that you've
analyzed your high performing content
and better understand what caused the
result, you could replicate it over and
over again. Right? Now, it's also really
really important to double down fast.
Right? Act with speed. Speed is very
important. And when something works and
you're seeing it works, it's going
viral, it's performing really well, you
want to exploit that window before
momentum dies down. Okay? And the reason
this is important is because there's
something called the momentum window on
Instagram. It lasts between 3 to 14
days. And after a piece of content goes
viral on your page, there's going to be
a short period of 3 to 14 days typically
where new content is more likely to get
pushed out. old content is given another
chance to get pushed out. And three,
more overall engagement comes to your
page, right? So, the thing is when you
get a viral reel, Instagram sees that,
you know, obviously they've given you a
chance. They pushed you out there and
then they kind of they give you a good
chance. They're like, "Okay, we've seen
this guy. He's gone viral. Obviously,
there's something that he's doing that's
working. You know, let's let's give him
a little boost temporarily and see
whether he can capitalize off it and
keep more people on the platform." Like
that's kind of what's going on in
Instagram's mind, right? So, you want to
exploit this, right? We're going to go
over how to do that in a second. So,
with this being said, if you get a viral
reel and your follow-up content performs
well, the window is going to stay open
for a longer period of time, maybe more
towards those 14 days. Whereas, if your
follow-up content underperforms, like
after you get a viral reel and then you
post like other content which isn't
optimized, it's not as high quality, and
because that doesn't perform as well,
then the window is going to close
sooner. It's like Instagram kind of is
going to give you that chance, but if
they see that you're not, you know,
taking advantage of it properly, then
they're not gonna extend the window and
give you more chances, if that makes
sense. Okay? So, it's super important to
follow up on it properly. And as I
mentioned, you want to exploit this
momentum window, right? You want to do
everything in your power to take
advantage of this extra boost that
you're getting from the algorithm. So,
the simplest thing to do here is
increase volume, right? So, if you're
posting two times per day, for example,
if it's possible you for you to get up
to four times per day, it's going to be
even better because if you have this
short period of time where Instagram is
like really pushing you more, like the
more volume you put out, as long as
you're not sacrificing quality, super
super important right there, that's
going to help speed everything up,
right? Because then you're just kind of
giving more and more chances for
Instagram to push out your content, to
show it to new people, to get new
followers, and also have the potential
to go viral again and, you know, restart
this window. That's kind of what we want
here. And it's also really important to
not pivot, right? This is not the time
to pivot. Right? After you get a viral
reel, you see something's working. You
see there's certain patterns there. You
know, again, don't make irrational
emotional decisions and do something
different that you think might work or
something that you think looks cool.
That's not the time to do that, right?
If you're stuck and you want to
experiment, sure, do it then. But once
you see something is working, double
down on it, right? No excuses, no
justifications or rationale. Just double
down. do more of what you've seen been
proven to work and then later down the
line you could test some more things if
you genuinely think it might work. Okay,
so don't pivot. Now, the last thing I
want to mention here is doubling down
properly is literally the difference
between just getting one viral piece of
content, good growth for a few days,
maybe a week, and then just back to
being stuck and stagnant and not making
any significant progress or moving the
needle versus getting five viral pieces
of content in a short window of time.
great growth for the matter of weeks, if
not months, and going viral consistently
and predictably, exponential growth.
Doubling down and knowing this process
and employing it the way I've described
it in these three steps is the
difference between this and this.
Obviously, we want this right here. All
right? So, I know it might take a little
bit of time to like really sit there and
analyze your content in depth and peel
back the layers and it might seem
tedious, but it's super super important
to do this every once in a while so that
you could really better understand your
page, your niche, what's doing well, why
it's doing well, and do more of it,
right? That's how you see these pages
getting again millions of followers,
hundreds of thousands of followers, up
to thousands of followers a day. It's
because they know this process. Okay, so
yeah, that's everything that you need to
know regarding the whole doubling down
process. Now, with that being said,
let's move on to the next module. All
right, now welcome to module five, one
of the most important sections in this
entire free course, which I'm sure a lot
of you are looking forward to. Now,
let's just dive straight into it. This
is going to be going over how to
monetize attention because at this
point, you've set up your page properly.
You've grown it by posting viral
content. This is what's bringing in the
views, the followers, allowing you to
grow an audience. And as you're doing
this, you could convert that attention
that you're getting on your page, the
views, followers, and audience into
income in multiple different ways. And
we're going to be going over these
different methods, these different
mechanisms in this section. I'll be
diving into depth, explaining what they
are, how they work. Some of these you
may have heard of in the past, others
maybe you haven't. All right,
regardless, let's just dive straight
into it. So, the first mechanism that
we'll be going over is newsletters. All
right. And I know a lot of people when
they first hear about the idea of using
newsletters to monetize on Instagram, it
kind of comes as a surprise to them
because it's just not a word that they
hear thrown around a lot in this sort of
context. And they're a bit under the
radar right now, but they're very, very
effective. And there's so many benefits
to having a newsletter across from your
theme page. And we're going to start
diving into them right now. And this is
also something that you're going to
continue seeing more and more as time
goes on, especially if you start paying
attention. All right. Now, here are some
of the core benefits to running an email
newsletter across your theme page,
right? So, kind of running them at the
same time and using the page as a source
of traffic to direct towards newsletter.
All right, so the core benefits are one,
there's multiple income sources with
newsletters. We're going to dive deeper
into like what those are and how they
work in just a moment here, but to
summarize, they're called boosts, which
is suggested signups. There is email ads
that get sent out in your emails. And
also you could do paid subscriptions,
which I'll go over in a second. And also
you could use this email list as a means
of email marketing um to whatever
product or something else that you're
trying to sell later down the line. All
right? So you have leverage in that
sense. Also, AI does a lot of the heavy
lifting here. So we're not going to be
sitting down ourselves coming up with
ideas for emails to write and like
writing them out ourselves. AI could
contribute to like 90 to 95% of the work
here, especially when you prompt it the
right way and you know how to train it.
So, it's not something that actually
takes a lot of time on our end, but the
upsides are huge. We'll be going over
into that. We'll be going into that in a
second here. Now, also, the audience
doesn't have to spend any money for a
couple ways of how you monetize these
newsletters, right? So, this is
something that again surprises a lot of
people. They think that in order to
monetize a theme page, they have to like
sell something to their audience. Some
people don't want to do that. Some
people do. But this method right here
with newsletters, there's ways that you
can monetize within it without your
audience having to spend any money. You
get paid from other sources, which may
sound confusing right now, but I'll dive
into that uh right after this and
explaining how it works. And the last
portion here is very importantly that it
builds trust and a connection with your
audience, right? So obviously with your
content on Instagram, it'll get your
audience to know who you are and maybe
like you, but they don't necessarily
trust you. You have to go a layer deeper
than that, right? And having this email
newsletter allows you to educate this
audience, provide value to them, build a
connection with them, and ultimately get
them to trust you a lot more. Start
building like not just followers, but
like an engaged fan base for your page.
And it's a lot more easy and efficient
to do this through email newsletter
rather than just content. There's other
ways to do this as well, directly
through Instagram, which we'll be going
over, but here are just some of the main
core benefits for newsletters. There's
even more, but these are the ones that I
wanted to fit into here. All right, now
that we understand what they are and the
benefits, let's go over how it works
specifically, right? Especially if this
is a new topic for you guys. This will
be super helpful to understand. So,
number one, we use this platform that's
called Beehive. All right, this is
what's going to allow us to do
everything else that I'm going to run
you through in this whole newsletter
step. And there's other tools that are
similar to Beehive that are out there.
Although just from my experience, from
everyone that I've spoke with in this
industry, Beehive is just the place to
be. Super powerful tool and it's going
to allow you to do everything that I'm
going to run through in just a moment
here. All right. Now, the first step is
to set up a landing page. Okay. So, this
is an example of what one would look
like. This is essentially just a place
that your viewers go to submit their
email, right? And I'll explain in a
second how this is going to be the most
effective way to do it. But um you can
see this page right here. This is
Kingdom Mentality. This is actually one
of my clients. His name is Brandon. So
when you see his bio, there's a link.
And if you click that, it brings it to
this landing page where it just says,
you know, get your free XYZ and join to
also receive XYZ. And then you put in
your email here. All right. Now, this is
another client of mine, Elitia. Um you
know, you could see she's in the women
independence niche and women empowerment
niche. And if you click your link here
brings you right here. And I'll explain
why they're giving away something for
free in just a moment here. Also, this
page undercover uncover AI uh you could
see this is where their this is what
their landing page looks like. And then
also in this niche with is which is the
health niche. This is what their landing
page looks like. All right. So this is
essentially that uh page that your
viewers go to when signing up to your
newsletter, right? To your email list.
Okay. Then the next thing that you're
going to want to do is set up
monetization. All right? And you do this
again all through Beehive, right? So you
set up the landing page through Beehive.
They have a web builder. It's very easy
to use. And you also set up monetization
through Beehive. And they connect Stripe
as the payment processing. All right?
Now, I don't believe every single
country in the world has access to
Stripe, but if you're in a first world
country, you're all right. And even some
other second, third world countries have
it as well. But this is how uh this is
the best option to connect it with for
your payment processing in Beehive. All
right. Now, let's dive a little bit
deeper into the specific monetization
methods to set up within Beehive. So,
the first one to understand is what's
called boosts. All right. These are
called email boosts. And this is where
you could get paid by your viewers
signing up to suggested newsletters in
after signing up to your uh newsletter.
Right? So, this is one of those methods
that the audience doesn't have to spend
any money in order for you to make
money, right? Because you're getting
paid by these other newsletters who pay
people like you in order to drive extra
traffic to their newsletter. All right?
So, I know that might sound a little
confusing, but let me just break this
down. All right? So, back to Brandon
here. Let's say he's promoting his
newsletter or in fact, he's pro
promoting a free prayer guide, right?
We're going to go over again the reason
why he's doing this in a second. So then
people click on this, they put in their
email, they press submit and then they
get prompted with some recommendations
here, right? It says Kingdom mentality
also recommends these newsletters and
the audience has the ability to select
these one by one or even press subscribe
to all, which is super helpful. And what
happens if they do this is you'll get
paid between$1 to $5 per suggested
signup, right? And again, the viewer
isn't paying you. These newsletters have
a budget and they are willing to pay
people like us to drive extra traffic to
their newsletter, right? And obviously
you want these suggested ones to be
related to your niche, right? Because if
your niche is like, you know, faith like
Brandon's is and you're promoting like,
you know, sports or like gambling or
something that's bad, like that
obviously doesn't make any sense. But
you could see some of these here. This
says coffee with my father. It's a
Christian devotional newsletter offering
hope. So this is something that actually
would align with his audience. So the
better, more aligned you could find
these opportunities, the higher the
conversion will be. And again, Beehive
offers these opportunities to to you
within the platform. So you don't have
to go and reach out to these other
companies in order to uh suggest them.
Okay? So $1 to5 per signup. And then
also if someone subscribes to all of
them, you mean you can make it allows
you to select like five to six, right?
So you can make, you know, 10 to 20
bucks just from one person, which is
crazy. [snorts] Now keep in mind this is
a verified subscriber, right? So, not
just like some bot email.
And also, here's an example of what
another one looks like. So, you go here,
you sign up, and then you see suggested
signups, right? So, that's sort of the
boosts monetization method. That's just
one. The next one is sponsorships and
ads. All right. So, this is another one
where your viewers don't have to spend
any money on you and you could still
monetize. So, essentially, these are
little like ad placements within the
emails themselves. So, with the
newsletter, you'll likely be sending
like an email a week or twice a week.
Again, AI will help with all this work.
And within Beehive, you have the
opportunity to see different uh
promotion or sponsors or ads that you
can request and if approved, you could
use them on your email in a placement
somewhere throughout the email and you
get paid around like a dollar or $2 per
click, right? So, just for some math, if
you have a,000 subscribers, 1% click,
that's like, you know, 10 people I
believe. So, if you get a dollar per
click, that's like $10 um per email,
right? And that's only if you have a
thousand subscribers. So, that's another
way that you could monetize. And then
also, you could promote products on your
email list as well. So, this is super
effective and I'll go over it like why
in a second, but if you have this email
list of like nurtured people who already
trust you and you're monetizing through
these ways, you also have the
opportunity to direct them elsewhere. So
this is a health page here and you know
at the end of an email after providing
value and educating they say if you're
looking to improve your digestive health
and support a balanced gut we highly
recommend parodym supplements you know
their range of blah blah blah. So it's
it's some sort of supplement, right? So
I assume this is like some sort of
product that they get affiliate
commission for, right? It's an audience
that actually solves the problems of the
audience. Okay? Now, the last way is a
paid subscription, right? So this is
where your viewer has the opportunity to
not only sign up to your free newsletter
and your free email list, but they could
upgrade to like a exclusive one, right?
This is a feature that Beehive offers.
So, here's again one of my clients who
is offering one for $2 a month. And I
know that he actually makes like an
extra 500, 600 bucks a month just based
off of this paid subscription right here
because he has 300 people signed up to
it, right? So, he's getting $600
passively each month that he dedicates
towards back to his page, right? That
way he could continue providing value
and, you know, automate some sorts of
things and grow the business, right? So
that's just like an extra, you know,
source of income from your audience who
really supports you and wants to give
back. All right. Now, these are the main
ways to monetize your newsletter. And
you can do all of them at the same time,
which is super cool. So, now that we've
gone over how it works, like the concept
of it, let's go over how to actually
promote the newsletter. All right. Now,
here's a pro tip. Instead of promoting
your newsletter directly, instead you
should promote a lead magnet or freebie.
All right? Right? And if you don't know
what these mean, this is essentially
like a a free product or some sort of
free value to your audience, right?
Because
so ultimately give your audience
something for free in exchange for their
email. This is going to increase
conversion and also build trust and a
connection with the audience. So the
reason that you're doing this, you're
promoting a lead magnet or something for
free rather than just your newsletter
directly is simply because it's much
more attractive. Right? Right? If I were
to come to you and say, "Hey, you know,
sign up to my newsletter for XYZ." Or if
I came to you and said, "Hey, here's
this free thing that solves a problem
that you have. I'm going to give it to
you for free. It does this, this, and
this. All you have to do is um plug in
your email and you'll also get access to
X, Y, and Z." That's a lot more
attractive in the eyes of your viewer
compared to just promoting a boring
newsletter directly, right? So, instead,
you're going to promote something for
free and then in exchange, they're going
to give you your their email. Okay. And
like I said, this increases conversion,
makes people more likely to put in their
email, and also builds trust and a
connection with your audience because
you're giving them something for free
and providing value to them. All right.
Now, here is what that would look like
back at, you know, the landing page.
What you could do is, you know, say it
in the top line here, get your free 21
prayer guide below. And then he also
says, join now and also receive our
powerful weekly devotional straight to
your inbox. All right? So, this is a
perfect way to frame it. That way,
you're emphasizing what they're getting
for free, but also giving some context
of what they're getting themselves into
and how they'll continue receiving value
as time goes on, right? And then same
for this one right here. Uh, claim your
free guide below and join the Female
Evolution newsletter to start creating a
life on your own terms, right? So, it's
a lot more attractive to sign up and get
something for free rather than just, you
know, signing up to a newsletter for the
heck of it, right? So, that's how you
can increase conversions. Now, what
you're going to want to do is market
your lead magnet to make your audience
aware of what it is and why they should
want it. Okay, that is the conceptual
way to think about it. Now, in terms of
creating the lead magnet, I want you to
reference the next section about digital
product creation because the way that
you go about it is very similar. Okay?
And also keep in mind, here are some
examples, right? We'll be going over
some more, but you know, he's in the
faith niche, my client here, and he
gives a free 21-day prayer guide away,
right? So, obviously, you want to make
it related to your niche. And then this
is like the woman empowerment niche. So,
it's like the independence roadmap. So,
something that would actually be
attractive to the audience, but also
keep in mind if you're in a niche that,
let me just put it this way, wallpaper
packs are one of the most effective lead
magnets to use for this purpose. So
obviously depending on your niche, maybe
you could use that idea or not. But if
you're in a niche where a wallpaper pack
could make sense, it's very very
effective because it it just yields the
highest conversion in the sense that
people see lots of value from a
wallpaper pack because they don't have
to like put in much much effort in order
to get value from it. If that makes
sense. It's like immediate results,
right? They see a wallpaper pack, they
see a wallpaper that they could have on
their home screen or their lock screen,
like they quickly download it, they
could immediately use it and immediately
enjoy it without having to do some work,
right? So that is a lot more attractive
in general and yields higher conversion
compared to like a free 21 day day
prayer guide. Even though it's
attractive, like you know, people
subconsciously know they'll have to
actually get the prayer guide and like,
you know, execute on it and follow the
directions. So there's more effort
associated with it, which unfortunately
lowers conversion, right? So even though
this is something that would help
people, not as many people would take
action on this compared to like a
wallpaper pack, for example. So that's
just a quick bonus for you guys. If that
works within your niche, great. I
suggest it. I have it on a couple of my
pages to get newsletter subscribers and
it works really, really well. Okay, now
that we've gone over the idea of
marketing this free product, let's go
over how you do this specifically,
right? How you promote it. Now, you're
going to want to use a combination of
CTAs, call to actions, and many chat.
All right, so if you don't know what
ManyHat is, everyone should at this
point. It is a email or sorry, an
Instagram DM automation tool, right? So,
this essentially makes your life so much
easier in the sense that you don't have
to manually like have conversations with
your viewers in order to give them
access to something. It will
automatically do it based off stimulus,
right? So if someone comments a keyword,
if someone replies to your story a
keyword, if someone even follows you,
ManyHat will automatically contact this
person and give them access to what
they're looking for. That way you don't
have to go through and do it manually.
And also it's instant. Okay, so super
powerful tool. I suggest all you guys
get it set up at some point, especially
when you're in this monetization phase.
Okay, it's free at the beginning and
also
uh they have paid plans of course which
you could upgrade to later down the line
ideally when you're monetizing and also
I didn't mention this earlier but with
Beehive again you could start for free
at the beginning but also there is a
paid plan that you'll upgrade to once
you start actually monetizing with their
features. Okay, but here are the
specific ways that you can do it um how
you could actually drive traffic and
promote your lead magnet. Right? So,
reals CTAs, carousel CTA, link and bio
CTA, new follower message, broadcast
channel CTA, and story sequence CTA.
Now, you might be seeing this and be a
little bit confused. So, let's just go
over a couple examples. So, if we look
right here, this is a real from Female
Evolution, the page that we were just
taking a look at. And you know, as soon
as this reel started going viral and
performing, you'll see that she actually
employed the um edit caption strategy
where she went to the top of the caption
and said, "Comment guide, and I'll DM
you my free checklist to start building
life on your own terms." And what you'll
see is a ton of people in the comment
section commenting guide. Right now, if
Many Chat is set up properly, it will
contact them once they comment guide and
send them, for example, hey there, click
the button below to get the link to my
free guide. And you could customize this
message however you see fit, even this
button right here. And then once they
click get it now, then it takes them to
this landing page that we already set
up. So all they have to do in order to
get access to the free guide is just put
in their email and boom, they get access
and you know also more value in the
future from your newsletter. Okay, so
that is just an example of what the
workflow would look like. So keep in
mind like if you have a reel that goes
viral and you have this automation set
up and you tell your audience to comment
keyword, you might find hundreds or even
thousands of people commenting your
keyword and checking out your free
product without you having to do
anything without lifting a single button
because content is like a machine that
works for you 24/7 and automation is a
AI tool which also works for you 247. So
you know you don't even have to like do
anything to get people signed up to your
newsletter. So this is really where this
starts to become high leverage. All
right. Now, another way is the carousels
CTA. So again, carousels are something
that most people get into once they
start growing more. Um, but if you're at
a stage where you're implementing them,
this is something that you could do. All
right. So let's just say you start off a
carousel and you just keep it the
regular content that you usually post.
As the last slide, what you could do is
have some sort of graphic that in this
case says, "Comment, amen." and we'll
send you our free 21-day prayer guide
plus weekly devotionals, right? And then
if you check the comment section, you'll
see again plenty of people commenting,
"Amen." And you could also set up the
automation to even respond to each
person, which is pretty cool, right? It,
you know, increases that relationship
with your audience. And then again, once
they comment amen, they'll get an
automatic message like here is our free
21-day prayer guide that you asked for.
To claim it, just click on the button
and enter your email address when
prompted, and we'll send it right over
to you. Right? Then you click claim my
free guide and it takes you to the
landing page. Okay, so here's another
example of the workflow and another way
you could drive traffic. Okay, another
one which is really really powerful is
the new follower message. Okay, so every
time you get a new follower, what
Instagram can do is contact the person.
It doesn't have to be immediately. You
can make it like 5 minutes, 10 minutes,
a few hours, but it will contact the
person and it could say something like
this. Yo, what's up? Welcome to
Motivation Society. I want to give you a
completely free gift as a thank you for
following. Want to check it out? They
say yes, send it over. And then it will
send them something like this. You can
customize it, of course. Here's our free
exclusive wallpaper pack. It's stacked
with high quality wallpapers for your NB
for of your favorite NBA players to
claim it. Just XYZ, right? Access here.
And then it takes it them to the landing
page. Okay? So each time you get a new
follower, it could send them this and
you could automate driving traffic,
right? So again, think about the scale
of this. If you get a viral reel and you
start getting thousands of followers a
day, thousands of people are getting
this message a day and a certain
percentage of them are actually
converting and joining your email list
and signing up to the boost like you
could grow this newsletter and you can
um start monetizing like again
completely passively just with this
system that works for you. Okay. Now,
keep in mind
obviously you want to be careful when
contacting like a brand new viewer
because it's a first impression. So,
this is why we're not wanting to sell
them on something right off the bat.
Like imagine following someone and
immediately they're reaching out and
saying, "Hey, want to buy this product?"
Of course, we wouldn't, right? They're
brand new. They haven't built any trust.
But if you're giving to them something
for free, it's actually it's actually
great. It's a good first impression,
right? Like, think about it. Like, if
you just follow a page and they reach
out to you saying, "Hey, welcome, you
know, welcome to this movement. I want
to give you a completely free gift as a
thank you." It's like it's actually a a
a green flag rather than a red flag. So,
that's why I suggest it. And also
there's other ways like you know
obviously having a link in your bio
broadcast channels which we'll go over a
little bit later also posting it on your
stories you know these are all things
that you could get set up and all of
these work together right all of these
work together in order to just get new
email signups right you see it's all
leading to the same place so again I'm
sure you can imagine the scale of having
all of these work in unison especially
as you're growing and going viral and
having lots of momentum mean you could
drive a lot of traffic to the newsletter
Okay. Now, here also just some
screenshots. I want to include some
screenshots for each monetization method
that I'm going over just to kind of
bring the receipts and show that I
actually know what I'm talking about and
I've done this. So, here are just some
screenshots you could see from some
earnings and some payouts from Beehive
um to see that this actually works. All
right. Now, again, I don't want to show
this and say like, oh, you could expect
these results right away. That's not the
case, but this is just to show you
what's possible and inspire you. Okay.
Now that we've gone over the first
method, which is newsletters, let's dive
into digital products. Now, when it
comes to monetizing with digital
products, this is something that is
typically more well-known compared to
monetizing with newsletters, for
example. You know, you may have seen
other people talk about these in the
past or seen other people actively
selling digital products online. It's
just one of those very wellproven ways
to monetize online in general, right?
And with theme pages, they have a lot of
potential. Now, a lot of people, this is
something they tried themselves and
didn't see success with because they
just put like a generic like copy paste
chat GBT ebook together and they think
that that's what's going to, you know,
get sales on their page. That's not how
you do it the right way, right? So, a
lot of people try that and then it
doesn't work and they think digital
products just doesn't work as a whole.
That's not the case. They're very, very
effective if done the right way. So,
that's what we're going to go over today
in this section here. And then also when
it comes to combining these different
monetization methods, I want you to keep
that in mind because this is going to
tie into the newsletter that we just
discussed right before this. And also in
general, these different monetization
methods that we'll be going over in this
module, you could mix and match them and
you could be running them and actively
monetizing with multiple sources all at
the same time. You're not restricted to
just one way of monetizing, which is
really great. Now, let's go over the
specific core benefits for digital
products. All right, and then we'll dive
into how it works. So, first off,
they're very high leverage. And when I
say that, I mean in the sense that you
could put your time and energy into
creating something once and then you
could sell that thing which actually is
valuable, which actually provides value
to your audience and solve their
problems, right? Not some crap product.
And you could sell it unlimited amount
of times, right? You create it once, you
could sell it once, 10 times, 100 times
without you having to do any extra work,
right? Because it's digital. It gets
distributed digitally, right? And you
don't have to do any of the extra work.
And then also in terms of the profit
margins again you know you could just
continue making sales and you don't have
to uh worry about the headaches which is
my next point here which is like holding
inventory. You don't have to worry about
delivery and customer service and
logistics anything like that like you
would with physical products. It's just
all digital. You have an online store
you have an online product and it's
distributed digitally without you having
to touch anything or do any work. So it
removes the headache element. Also, AI
does the heavy lifting, like 90 again,
95% of the work here. Uh, obviously, we
don't want to just slap together like a
crappy copy and paste AI product, but if
you know how to prompt the AI the right
way and how to actually give it
substantial direction to create
something of value, it could be very
effective and actually contribute to
solving problems for your audience. So
then the question is like how do you do
that effectively? what prompts do you
use and you know what structure to have
it so that way it actually provides
value right and AI could help out with a
lot of that then also you could start
for $0 so you don't you literally don't
need any money to start monetizing off
of digital products all you need is a
payment processor like again Stripe
PayPal there's all these different
payment processors and like an online
web store and some of them are paid
don't get me wrong um fun fact if you
have Beehive it hosts the newsletter and
you could sell digital products there
which is crazy. But then also [snorts]
there's other platforms that we'll go
over in a second here that allows you to
sell digital products literally for free
without you having to pay any money
which is pretty cool. So there's no
barrier to entry here. Now since you
understand digital products and I guess
why they're important and the type of
benefits you could expect, let's go over
how they work particularly. Right? So
there's a four-step process that allows
you to build and monetize off of a high
quality digital product. Right? And
that's the to ideulate, validate,
create, and promote. All right, that's
the four-step process. So, get the idea,
validate it, make sure it's actually
something that your audience wants and
needs and would solve a problem for
them, and create it, put it together,
and then promote it. Make people aware
of it and interested in it so that they
want to buy it. Right now, let's go into
each of these steps in a little bit more
depth. So, first off is ideulate. Now,
the whole objective of this step here is
to understand your audience's problems,
pain points, and begin brainstorming
ideas for solutions, right? So, you kind
of want to look um outside for this step
here. You want to get feedback and
recognize patterns and really understand
your audience and um why they followed
you and what type of value you could
provide for them, right? and you
understand the value you could provide
for them when understanding their pain
points, what they're struggling with,
and how you could solve that problem,
right? And [snorts] you could do this by
uh posting stories and getting feedback
like here where it's like you could post
like a open-ended question. What's
something that you constantly struggle
with when it comes to to XYZ, right?
Something geared to your niche and
literally just hear out your audience,
see what they're telling you. And also
something like this, like a open-ended
question, why do you follow and then the
name of your page? then you could better
understand your audience and why they're
even there following you in the first
place. And this information is super
super valuable, right? [snorts] This is
probably one of the most important steps
of the process because if you like get
an idea and you, you know, create it and
put take all this time to like promote
it, but the idea was never that good to
begin with and wasn't something that
people wanted and needed, then you're
going to waste your time with other
steps, right? So, you definitely want to
hone in on this step and make sure that
you're beginning with the end in mind,
right? So, here are like some story
examples to get feedback. You could also
read your comments. You know, some of
them are just like, you know, brain rod
and don't add any substance, but some of
them may actually be very insightful.
So, you could take a look at your
comments and it just it allows you to
tap into, you know, the mind of your
viewer or someone who is in your niche.
And just kind of by looking at some
insightful comments, you could really
understand your type of viewers and your
audience and what they're like and what
they're feeling or thinking. You could
also DM followers, like just reach out
to them directly. And I don't suggest
just asking him a question off the bat
like, "Hey bro, why do you follow me?" I
would suggest just like saying, "Hey,
um, you know, I appreciate you engaging,
reacting with the content, maybe someone
who liked one of your recent videos, and
then wait for them to reply." They're
probably going to be like, "Hey,
awesome. Thanks for reaching out." And
then you could say, "Also, quick
question. I'm not trying to sell you
anything, but I'm just curious like
what?" And then you could ask them a
question, right? And this could help you
better understand them. Obviously, you
don't want to send hundreds of messages,
but even doing this like five, 10 times
can be super helpful. Then also you want
to leverage AI with all of this data,
all of this insight, all of this
feedback. You know, again, humans are
quite decent at analyzing patterns, but
AI is a lot more effective at that and
quick at that. So, uh, back to another
AI prompt for you guys to take a
screenshot of here. Um, you could use
this yourself, but essentially you give
it context about your page, your niche,
how many followers you have, the type of
content that's performed best, more
about your uh demographic, like again,
age, gender, where they're from, uh,
some things about them, and then you're
pretty much asking it to identify three
to five. So, you're you're going to copy
and paste. This is the most important
part, you're going to copy and paste all
the insight that you get from this phase
here, right? So like maybe all the
replies from your stories, copy and
pasting comments, all the conversations
from your followers, putting them all
into this prompt here. And then AI is
going to help you out with giving you
some ideas and direction of where to
take uh the product like how you could
actually package something that would
solve their problems. Okay, so that is
the ideation phase. Now once we have the
idea, we have the general direction, now
we kind of want to validate it, right?
We want to confirm that it's a valid
idea, something that people in our
audience would actually want and need.
and potentially spend money for, right?
So then you could go to this phase here,
which the whole objective is to really
just test your ideas and get feedback
from your audience. And then again, what
you could do is post stories, similar to
like the last uh part. You could DM the
same followers that you already DM'd
saying like, "Hey, um, I remember our
conversation from last time, and based
off of that, you know, I have the idea
of creating XYZ. What are your thoughts
on this? Is there anything that you'd
add to it?" and just getting some more
feedback about an idea. And then also
you could research competitors. This
might be another sort of point of
reference for you. Could take a look at
other competitors in your niche, seeing
what they're doing, what type of
products they have, if any, and just
getting some ideas that way, which could
give you a better, you know, direction
and some validation yourself on your own
ideas, right? So you could ask a
question on your story like as a poll,
would the XYZ with XYZ that you can XYZ
with be valuable to you? And kind of
just see what people say. what would
help you more right now? XYZ, XYZ or
XYZ. This is how you can begin kind of
testing and validating your ideas just
to see genuinely what people are um
reacting to the most. Keep in mind if
you're like smaller and your engagement
isn't that good, you're not going to get
that many like responses on these types
of you know stories and in that case may
make sense for you to prioritize more
the DMing followers part. But if you
actually are doing this the right way
and you're growing, you're getting the
views, followers, then you should be
getting some good engagement on these
types of stories as well. Okay. So the
whole step there is to kind of validate
the idea in the direction that you have
in mind. And once you do that and you're
sure that the idea or you have a good
feeling, a strong feeling and have data
to back it up that the idea is actually
has precedent and that you can and that
has potential that people actually would
want want it and need it. It solves a
problem for your audience, solves a
painful problem for them to the point
where they'd actually be willing to
invest for it. Then you could go ahead
and actually create and build it. Right
now, in terms of doing this, you just
want to execute the idea into an actual
digital product. Now, the main formats
of digital products, just so you guys
kind of have an idea, is in the format
of like a guide or a ebook, which I'm
sure you've heard of, in the form of a
template, some sort of framework or
system, even like a miniourse. These are
all different like forms of digital
products, right? So, obviously depending
on what the idea is will determine what
format you package it in, right? So,
keep that in mind. Now, when it comes to
the different platforms that you could
use to put digital products together,
here's a list of some. Beacons AI,
Shopify, Beehive, and PayHip. So,
Beacons I know has like a free option
for sure where you could set up a web
page and start actually monetizing with
the digital product literally for
complete free and not even like too crap
of a web page. It's actually quite good.
It will convert. Shopify is another uh
option where you could put a store
together. This one's like more um let's
just say complex. Like Beacons is super
super easy to use. Like they already
have it completely structured for you.
You could just customize it to your
brand. Whereas Shopify, it's like a
little bit more uh complex. And then
Beehive, like I said, you have the
option to as well. There's a digital
product section where you could host one
there. And very, very easy to use as
well. Uh is another free platform
and PayHip is another platform as well.
So these are kind of the options that
you could take a look at. And then
again, you're going to want to leverage
AI in this process as well. So once you
have the idea, you've validated it and
you kind of know what to what format to
put or package the idea in and also you
like you create the uh landing page or
the host platform to sell it. Um you
know you could begin using AI to
actually start putting making this to
life, right? Turning it to life. So with
the right prompts again and guiding it
in the right direction, giving it
feedback and kind of giving it all of
the uh data that we've collected from
our audience and also ideas that we have
for the structure and maybe taking a
look at some other digital products that
you've bought or could see others are
selling. You know, you could kind of try
to structure it in a similar way or
other ways that you know you believe
would be effective and that have proof
of concept and then just leverage AI to
kind of fill in the blanks there, right?
So again, this will do like 90 to 95% of
the work. I don't suggest that you like
completely depend on AI to do everything
for you. I'm not saying that because
that's not how you create like real
value, but you know, you can uh pretty
much sharpen the edges off of what AI
gives you. You know, kind of go through
things yourself, structure it maybe in a
slightly different way, reward things, h
add your own context where you see fit
or combine other like inspiration. And
uh the combination of all of this is how
you could actually begin creating and
building the digital product to the
point where it's it's there. And then
all you have to do is begin selling it,
right? Which is the last step here,
which is the promote step. All right? So
at this point, we've got the idea for
the product. We've validated it. We know
that it's something that will actually
help our audience, something they're
they would be interested in, something
they'd potentially be willing to pay
for. We've created it. Now, we just got
to promote it, right? And the whole
objective here is to make people aware
of what the product is and how it will
deeply help them. Okay. Now, promoting a
digital product is very similar to the
way you would promote the free product
for the newsletter signups that we just
went over before. So, what you could do
is the real CTA, carousel CTA, link and
bio CTA, broadcast channel CTA, store
sequence CTA, and have all this hooked
up with ManyHat to kind of like automate
driving traffic to the product. The only
thing that's different here is the the
newsletter CTA as well. So, keep in mind
guys, this is where you could really
integrate digital products into your
newsletter and email ecosystem, right?
And kind of do some email marketing. So,
let's just say again, you have like this
email list. There's now a few thousand
people on it. These people are going to
be like your biggest fans. They're going
to be the most they they're going to be
the people or your audience that's
gotten the most value from you, who's
the most educated from you, who trusts
you the most. And now you could begin
driving traffic from that email list to
a product of your own that will actually
solve their problems, right? And these
are the people who are going to be the
most likely to want to buy that product.
And so like in your emails at the end,
you could have um CTAs kind of pointing
attention towards the product and
explaining why it matters to them and
how they would benefit from getting it.
Right? So that's how you'd promote it.
And now that we've gone over the
process, I want to show you some more
tangible examples just so you can see
like visuals of what I'm describing and
how other people have put this into
action. All right, so this page here is
a neuroscience page called Neuro Tweak.
They got 147,000 followers. And if you
check your bio here, they you could see
that he's selling some sort of digital
product. And in his bio, he says 30 days
brain reset plan. And if you take a look
at his bio, you could see that he's
selling some sort of product. And it
says here 30 days brain reset plan.
Right? So if we take a look at that and
we click on this link, it's going to
bring us to this product right here. And
this is set up on Gumroad. This is
another free platform where you could
like host a digital product. I
personally don't like these um
structures. I think it just looks kind
of old and tacky and doesn't convert as
well. Um so just so you guys know that.
That's why I didn't suggest it earlier.
But this is Gumroad now. Um you could
see that he with his content is getting
viewers and followers and building an
audience of people who are interested in
neuroscience and brain health and you
know just functioning cognitive
function. Now with this audience
obviously the way you monetize with a
digital product you need to make sure
it's aligned with the audience and
actually is something they'd be
interested in something that solves
their problem. So, he came up with the
idea of this 30-day brain reset plan.
And then if you look at the description,
it kind of explains more of the benefit
and how it could help them. And here is
different ways that this person can
actually promote it and bring attention
to it and market it, right? So, first is
like the real caption CTA. So, let's
just say you have your caption
structured the same way we've discussed
throughout this free course. At the end,
you could have something like this would
be in the caption, you know, uh,
template like the copy and paste part.
comment reboot and I'll send you my five
minute brain reboot plan to reset stress
and improve sleep. Right? So, when
someone comments that uh keyword reboot,
you'll see that it's automatically
sending them a message. And if you check
Manyhat right here, it says, "Nice. This
is a quick reset you can use anytime
your mind feels overloaded, unfocused,
or or restless. It takes five minutes
and works directly on your nervous
system. Send me the link." And then when
you press that, it says, "Here's your
five minute brain reboot plan. Click
access below and you'll receive the plan
in your first email." So you click
access. He's got a typo here. And then
um it takes them to the newsletter
landing page, right? So in this case,
you could have it driven to like he so
he's doing it to a free product the same
way we've discussed before and then
getting them to sign up to the email
list. And then once they're in the email
list, that's when he starts pushing the
product, right? And obviously you don't
want to spam it and push it too much.
You know, you want to have mostly
providing value, but occasionally, you
know, marketing your product. So what he
does here is he gives them something for
free and then upsells them later down
the line to a digital product. And you
could have many chat sequences that do
that automatically and begin messaging
them again. And once they're in the
email list, they will see the product
anyways, right? So it's kind of like
playing the long game here, which isn't
bad because he gets to nurture them more
first. Also, with that being said, when
you give someone something for free
first, it just builds a lot more trust.
And if you know, if you could help solve
their problems with something that you
give them for free, they're going to
think in their mind, you know, wow, like
that helped me so much and it was free.
Imagine how much the paid thing could
help me, right? That's kind of what you
want going on in their minds. So, that's
one way that he does this. Another way
is like through story sequences. So, I
was going through his profile and uh,
you know, came across some of these. I'm
not going to take the time to like read
them all because it'll take a little bit
of time, but you could see that he's
kind of playing on his audience and
their pain points and their desired
state and provides his uh product as
like a bridge to that gap, right? So,
this is another way that you could drive
traffic. And then he's like showing some
testimonials here and you know promoting
the product where he gives the audience
a chance to click the link and get
access to it, right? So, this is
something that you can obviously this
one's really long. I don't suggest it
being this long. I suggest it being like
two, three or four slides max. Uh, but
this is a way to get in front of your
followers to uh, you know, um, plant
some seeds in their mind that you would
be able to help them out with your
product. [snorts] And then this is
something that you could do once and
have like pinned as a highlight on your
profile or you can kind of do one of
these like each week for example. Right
now, here's another example. This is a
page in the parenting niche. They've got
like almost a million followers. And if
you check their bio and you see what
they're doing, they've got this product
right here. Less overwhelm, more
connection when your child needs it
most. Ease the overwhelm today, build
resilience for tomorrow. So, this is
sort of like a whole pack uh for parents
to be able to um you know, develop
better relationships with their kids and
be a better parent, right? So again, all
of this content here is what has
attracted the audience, what has allowed
this page to build almost a million
followers, getting in front of all that
attention, all this audience, and now
he's selling some sort of product which
actually provides value to the audience
and solves their problems, right? And
then again, this is a example of selling
your own product. And there's more ways
to do this. We'll go over it in a
second, but here are a couple different
just tangible examples of where you
could see this in action. And one more.
This is a health page and holistic gut
health, right? And you can see in the
content, you know, it's attracted an
audience interested in this topic. Then
if you check the bio, you'll see it says
a natural gut healing blueprint. Trust
your gut again and digestive discomfort.
Yes, I want to heal my gut. And then it
takes them to uh this order page. It's a
uh I don't Okay. Yeah. 10 comprehensive
chapters, practical recipes and
protocols. So this is like a whole guide
to get better gut health. And this is
great because, you know, this is a
painful problem that people have. You
know, if you're not feeling good in your
gut and it's like really making a
negative impact on your life, like this
is a painful problem that you want
solved. And assuming this person
actually has a good solution for these
people, like a lot of people could get
value from this, something like this,
especially for like $27. So, you know,
this is an example of something that
could sell really well because it
actually solves a problem. Guys, don't
expect to like really perform
exceptionally well with a digital
product if your product doesn't actually
solve the problem of your audience,
right? Because when you solve your their
problems, you alleviate their pain. When
you alleviate their pain, value is
created. And when you create value is
when you receive monetary compensation,
right? Don't expect to receive monetary
compensation if you're actually not
solving anyone's problems. Okay? So,
that's another example here. And again,
here are some more screenshots of just
sales on my own digital products, uh,
dashboards and, you know, Stripe
dashboards. All right, so now that we've
gone over digital products, let's dive
into the third monetization method,
which is going to be paid promos and
shoutouts. Now, this is a really solid
way to monetize. And of course, I'm
going to go over why that is and how it
works in a moment, but I also want to
bring up that this way of monetizing
typically comes in a little bit later
down the line once you actually have
somewhat of a established audience,
right? compared to the first two, like
newsletters, you can get started with a
few thousand followers. Digital
products, maybe once you cross like
10,000 followers, for example. Whereas
with paid promos and shoutouts,
typically it ends up actually making the
most sense and becoming like worth your
time to explore once you're crossing
like 50k followers, 100k, even over 150k
depending on the niche. Because think
about it like this, like when you build
an audience on your theme page, it's
like a asset, right? you have something
that's valuable that for example other
brands, creators or companies or
businesses will see value in that
audience and that attention that you
have and because of that be willing to
pay you in exchange for you to promote
something on your page, right? Because
they're getting value from that. They're
getting the attention. They're getting
the eyeballs. So just by having a theme
page, by building an audience and
growing it, you have something
inherently valuable in and of itself,
right? So that's where this comes into
place. It's almost like advertising if
you think about it. All right. Now, the
core benefits of this is the more
followers you have, of course, the more
money you're going to make, right? And
keep in mind, it's not just about
followers. You know, if you have a, you
know, a million followers, but you have
like dead engagement, then, you know,
that doesn't equal more money. You know,
keep in mind the engagement and, you
know, the quality of the audience
actually matters as well. But in
general, like the bigger the page that
you have, assuming it's like not dead,
the more money you're going to be able
to make, right? All right. So, this is
something that can become like some nice
side income like for once you're in the
stage of like 50 to 200k followers, but
once and getting to that point where
you're like a very big page, then you
could really start charging some good
money for these uh paid promos and
shoutouts, right? So, that's great
because obviously there's no limit to
how many followers that you could get.
And then at the same time, it's the
easiest way to monetize. So obviously
like with newsletters and with digital
products and a couple others like
there's more that you're doing on your
end to kind of like prepare things and
set things up. Whereas with paid promos
and shoutouts like literally the other
company creator or business is creating
the content for you to post onto your
feed. So all you have to do is literally
just get receive the money and then post
it. I'm going to break down how it works
just in a second here. It's it's just
really simple. You don't really have to
do any work on your end, right? It's
also the most passive and predictable
income. So, like because of this, it's
very passive. You're not really actively
doing anything. It's like you get sent a
post, you post it, you make money. It's
that simple. And it's also predictable
as well because uh you could have
long-term clients, right? Uh, you could
work with media buyers or just long-term
clients, whether they're businesses,
creators, if they're actually getting
value from your promos to the point
where you could get them on like a
monthly retainer, for example, where
you're posting like X amount of posts or
carousels and they're paying you X
amount in exchange for that, right? And,
uh, media buyers and companies are very
invested into, you know, um, shoutouts
and paying pages like us on Instagram to
get the attention. Uh like the biggest
ones right now they're like obviously
this is going to depend on the niche the
type of people that you're working with
but like all the big like you know Poly
Market and Koshi and um all the AI
companies they're just dumping money
into promos they just want to make
people as aware of them and their
company and what they're doing as
possible. Right? So this creates a huge
opportunity for us theme pages because
we could easily grow that audience and
get that attention without showing our
faces. and then we have something
inherently valuable that other companies
are willing to pay us in order to get
access to, right? That's how you want to
be thinking about this. Now, let's dive
a little bit deeper into like how this
works uh so that it's fully clear,
right? And there's no unanswered
questions here. So, first you have to
find a client, right? You have to find
someone who's actually wanting to pay
you for like a promo or shout out or a
collaboration, anything of this nature,
right? And in order to find a client,
there's a few ways that you could do
this. First, others can reach out to
you. You could reach out to others or
you could work with media buyers. All
right, so these are kind of like the
three different ways to find a client.
Um to make it as easy as possible for
others to reach out to you, you could
reference a couple of these screenshots
here. So for example, um this is a big
page, almost a million followers, and
they just simply have like a business
email in their bio. That way, it just
makes it super easy for anyone who's
looking to um you know, or is interested
in promoting on their page. they could
just contact the email and then boom,
you could go back and forth, close a
deal. And then also you could have the
option of like having a link in your
bio. You know, you could have multiple
different links if you didn't know that.
And one of them could be like for
sponsors and advertisers. That way
anyone who comes on your page looking
for this, they have literally a link to
click specifically for them. And then
you could just have like a simple form
set up where you could say, so this this
is like in the AI niche for example. It
just says uh marketing services reach
large targeted audiences with our
managed campaigns. We make it simple to
execute and scale your campaigns, reach
the XYZ community as well as most of the
top XYZ pages, right? And then they just
put in their name, their email, some
other information, how much they're
willing to pay, uh what they're actually
interested in. And then that way you
could literally just get their contact
information, and then reach back out to
them and facilitate a deal that way.
Now, that's how you can make it as easy
as possible for others to reach out to
you. But when it comes to you reaching
out to others, here's what I suggest. So
reference your niche research. Reference
the biggest, not even necessarily the
fastest growing, but the biggest pages
in your niche. Follow them. Keep an eye
on their pages and see
which creators or brands or companies
are paying them for promos, right? Just
kind of scan their page, check it every
once in a while. And a lot of these
pages are actively running promos,
right? And this allows you to easily see
who's paying for the promo, right?
Whether it's just XYZ company, XYZ
creator.
If you see them promoting on a different
page, you know that they're actively
promoting. So if you reach out to them
the right way, then you could kind of
also become an option for them to begin
actively promoting on your page as well.
Right? So the best way to do this is
just become familiar with your niche,
become familiar with the different
brands, companies or creators that are
promoting in your niche and then you
could reach out to them and develop a
relationship there. All right? So here's
a simple like uh DM you could send for
example or email. Uh you could start it
off like this, like business inquiry.
That way they know it's important and
that it's not just like some random fan.
And then you could just start off with
the name of their page. I noticed you've
been actively promoting your product on
Instagram like an on XYZ page. I'm not
going to read this whole thing, but you
could copy and paste this, screenshot
it, do whatever you'd like with it, and
just customize it towards whoever you're
spending or sending the message to. All
right, so that is how you find a client.
Now, also one more thing that I want to
mention here.
um if you're smaller between like 50 to
150K maybe also depends on your niche
maybe you have to reach out to others
more at the beginning whereas once later
down the line you've grown and you
really have lots of traction and
momentum then others will reach out to
you more often. All right? So don't
expect people to be reaching out to you
like right when you hit 50k followers
offering you all this money. you know,
you're going to have to uh kind of
develop those relationships, even do
some out outreach yourself first, right?
But don't get me wrong, once you do
build more of a following, you're more
established, then people will be
reaching out to you. Okay? Now, with
that being the case, let's go over how
to actually make a deal, right? Because
we find the client, now we have to get a
deal with favorable terms. Now, keep in
mind, you're going to want to have your
prices ready and for it to be flexible.
Now, keep in mind, you're going to want
to have your prices ready and also to be
flexible with what they're looking for,
right? So, you don't want to just have
like a set package and, you know, only
offer that because sometimes people want
to get the most value, right, for what
they're looking for. So, just be
flexible. Make custom packages as you
see fit, right? Especially at the
beginning, it's not a bad idea to be
flexible just to kind of get that
experience, see how one of these deals
go, but obviously don't be too flexible
to where you know you're not getting
your end of the bargain. All right? Now,
in terms of how much you could charge,
this is what we want to go over. It
depends on the number of followers you
have, how engaged your audience is, the
demographic, like where they're from. In
general, pages that have a high quality
audience or first world countries
audience could get paid more compared to
a page with a with more followers, but
with a lower quality audience, for
example. Right? So, it's not all about
the followers, it's about actually where
they're from and the quality of the
followers. Also, of course, it depends
on the the budget of the brand or the
business you're working with and then
also the format of the content. So,
whether it's like a real, a post, a
carousel, story, it comes in different
formats. Now, I suggest having something
simple like this ready because someone
might reach out to you asking your rates
or you're having a conversation with
someone, they ask what your rates are.
You could have a simple uh breakdown
just showing like 24-hour feed post, 30
days feed post, 60 days feed post, uh
permanent feed post, 24-hour story,
permanent repost, and I don't have reels
here, but you could also offer reels if
you know that's an option. Typically,
most of them are posts and carousels, so
keep that in mind. But this is how you
could be prepared. That way, you could
close the deal. And um obviously the
price that a page charges depends on all
these specific you know uh metrics. So I
can't like tell you exactly what you can
charge. It also depends on the niche. Uh
but here's like a the things to keep in
mind, the things that influence the
amount that you could charge. Okay. So
now that we've gone over how to find a
client and make a deal, uh it's the fun
part, right? Get paid. Now every serious
brand and creator or business will pay
you beforehand for the promo shout out.
So, if someone reaches out to you and
they're like, "Yeah, bro. Let's do this
promo. I'm going to pay you $200." And
they start asking you to promote it
first. Typically, that's a sign that
it's not like legit, right? You know,
most serious brands, creators, they're
going to be willing to pay you first.
That's just kind of industry standard.
All right? And just use a preferred
payment processor. PayPal is the most
universally accepted, so that's kind of
just what I suggest. It's the most
common in this space. Uh, but also, you
know, again, Stripe is pretty popular.
Um, some people are comfortable with
like, you know, crypto and some other
ways as well, but I would just suggest
sticking with PayPal. I believe everyone
watching this should have access to
PayPal. So, um, yeah, just just stick
with PayPal. That's going to be your
best bet. So, now that you've gotten
paid, now we all we have to do is just
post the content, right? So, this is why
it's so easy on our end. Um, we're not
really doing too much. We're just
finding someone, agreeing on terms, you
re receive a payment, and then you post
the content. Right? Now, how this is
going to work is they're going to send
you the content or creative to post and
all you do is just like upload it
yourself. They also send you the caption
typically t they also send you the
caption typically and then you could
post it as is or what's even better
sometimes is ask if they'd like you to
recreate it in their branding, right?
Because sometimes like the promo or the
shout out when they send it to you, it
just kind of like is not aligned with
your branding and it just isn't aligned
with like the colors or you know, it
just kind of looks off. It looks like
inorganic and it looks like it's a clear
promo. And you know, you could post it
as is, but that's not the best for
engagement and also won't get the best
results generally. So, it depends on the
quality of the creative. Some are more
like standard where it's universally
acceptable on all types of pages, but
some are more niche. Nonetheless, it's
typically and sometimes better for you
to literally recreate the creative with
your own constant style, right? That
way, it seems more organic and gets
better engagement and makes them more
likely to want to work with you in the
future. So, it adds a little bit of
extra work, but it's just one post, so
it should be really quick. Now, [snorts]
here's an example because you could see
this company, Lovable, which is like
some sort of like software company, I
believe, um or web builder. I'm not
exactly sure what it is. It just uses AI
a lot. Uh promoted on these two
different pages, but you could see that
the promos look slightly different even
though it's like the same exact copy if
you actually read it. So, this says
someone in Brazil made 3 million in 48
hours using AI. And then it's got like
the actual branding or logo of the page
here. It's got a certain picture. It's
got like that lovable uh logo here.
Whereas with this one, it is a different
picture. It's got pretty much the same
text, like very very similar text. And
uh yes, different picture. This logo is
a lot bigger. It's got the green brand
colors. It's got the logo of the uh page
here. So, you can see it's the exact
same promo, but just like more custom
for the branding. So, these typically
perform better because they seem more
organic. like if someone actually
scrolls on it who's a follower of this
page, they're more likely to read it and
engage with it because they think it's
more organic rather than something
that's a blatant promo. Okay, so that's
essentially how it works in four steps.
Now, I'm going to dive into a couple
examples here in a second so you can see
more tangibly what I mean here and what
this looks like. But also keep in mind
with this method, something that's
important that I want to preface this
with is there's two there's two things
that I want to like bring up to your
attention. One is you don't want to do
this too often because then you're going
to like irritate your audience and you
know your engagement will tank. Now, at
the same time, you could still implement
these like every once in a while and be
completely fine and you don't have to
worry about it, right? But just all I'm
saying is don't spam it. And this should
be common sense. Don't just spam promos
every day. That's not smart. And number
two, the company, the brand, the
creator, the business that you work
with. Ideally, you want it to be as
aligned as possible with your niche.
Right? So, obviously, in this case, this
makes a lot of sense because this is
like a AI company and, you know, they're
promoting on AI pages. So, it's stuff
that your followers would actually be
interested in. Whereas, you know, if
someone reached out to you and first
off, there's some stuff like with like
Only Fans or like gambling, you know, it
depends on your morals, of course, but
like for me, for example, I've never
taken any of those deals because I don't
want to promote that sort of stuff on my
page. I want to make like a, you know,
uh, the type of impact that I want to
make positive way. Um, so keep that in
mind. You know, you don't have to
promote stuff that's outside of what you
want to promote. But also, even if it is
like moral, if it doesn't really align
with your niche, maybe you don't want to
do it, right? Like maybe they got
approached by like some architect who
wants to so show something, but maybe,
you know, the person doesn't want to
they don't believe that architecture or,
you know, whatever the other topic is is
aligned with the niche and what the
audience would be interested in, then
maybe it's not the best fit, right?
because you don't want to be promoting
something to your audience that isn't
even like aligned with what they would
care about, right? So, that's just
another thing to keep in mind. Don't
spam it and also, you know, be
relatively selective with the type of
opportunities, right? Kind of depends on
lots of factors, but I think that's
important for you to know. Now, here are
some examples. All right, so first up,
we have a basic promo right here. So
this is just like a simple post where
you know this AI this is a poly market
promo on a AI page. Now pretty much how
this works is poly market paid this
person x amount simply just to post uh
this carousel on the page right and it's
very simple you could kind of just like
slide through it. It's got the branding
of the page still. Now here's another
example of that. Um, this is like
another person or a company who paid
this page entrepreneur facts and it says
like this Gen Z startup is hosting 10
college blind dating yacht parties
across the US. So, it's a it's promoting
a startup called Ditto. Now, it's just a
it's very simple. Again, it's just
posting it and then they give you the
caption as well and all you do is just
like post it, right? Then sometimes you
leave it 24 hours, sometimes you leave
it 30 days. Sort of depends on the deal
that you worked out, right? So, this is
a very basic promo where it's just
literally a carousel and at the end
typically you'll see that it asks them
to do some sort of action like sign up
here now and then it's got like the page
um there for people to click on or here.
Um I'm not exactly sure what the call to
action here at the end. Sometimes they
don't always have a call to action, but
yeah, nonetheless, this is just a basic
promo. Now, this is something that's
called a group shoutout. So, this is
where you essentially promote like a
list of different pages. Maybe you've
seen something like this before. You
know, Instagram has over two billion
accounts. Here are the 20 accounts that
will teach you more skills in a
four-year degree. Right? I'm sure maybe
you've seen something like this. It's
been around for a while. And then the
page lists like the 20 pages, right?
Now, you know, these people are all
actively paying media buyers, for
example. And then the media buyer is
someone you'd connect with and they
would for example uh facilitate the deal
and tell you like who to tag here and
like what the creative is etc. Right? So
that's another example of one. Keep in
mind media buyers essentially are a
middleman between these companies and
businesses and you. Media buyers just
make this whole process a lot easier.
You know they get budgets from like the
brands and then they approach pages like
us and pay us for promotions. All right.
Now, in terms of finding media buyers,
like you know, for example, in my
network and the people that I know, like
I just have a list of people and
different group chats that I'm in and
share with the people that I'm working
with to like introduce these
opportunities. But if you don't have
that sort of network, then, you know,
you could kind of try reaching out to
people and making your own connections.
It's it's just a bit tougher, but um
media buyers definitely make the whole
process a lot easier. They do take a
little bit of a cut for making the
process easier, but um I believe it's
worth the time that you save. Okay, so
that's a group shout out. Now, there's
also something called a collab. I'm sure
you've seen this before as well, where
someone posts a real and they invite a
collaborator and then it says it's like
posted by both pages. So, depending on
the type of deal and the type of format
that you go with, um you know, this is
an option as well where again either you
or they make the creative and then
either they or you post it and then you
guys invite each other to collaborate.
So, it's posted by both of you, right?
So, this is a page 11 Stoic partnering
with Project Claron. I'm not exactly
sure what it is. Maybe it's some sort of
app or something, but that's just
another example of what it could look
like. All right, so I know I've been
waffling on about paid promos. And then,
so I know I've been waffling along about
paid promos. Hopefully, it makes a lot
more sense now. And here are, of course,
just some more screenshots of some
bigger deals that I've received uh for
promos. And keep in mind, these are all
like more longerterm packages. So, it's
not like I got, you know, $3,000 just
from like one post. These are like
longer deals. But this is what I mean
by, you know, this could be a very
sustainable, predictable way to
monetize, especially if you get onto
these monthly deals with these long-term
serious clients. All right. Now, with
that being said, let's move on to number
four, which is the reals bonus. Now, the
reals bonus is super cool and it's one
of those monetization methods that's
super misunderstood because a lot of
people think that they can monetize and
everyone can monetize off views on
Instagram and that's just like the main
way of monetizing, which isn't the case.
And then other people think it's just
completely impossible and that Instagram
doesn't pay for views. But the truth is
in the in the middle and I'm going to
explain exactly how it works, but in
some cases, you could get paid for
views. Okay? And the core benefits is
that this is great. views equals money
directly, right? So, it's not monetizing
like indirectly like the other ways.
This is literally directly views equals
a certain amount of money, right? So, of
course, because of that, it's very easy.
Uh it's no additional work. It's like
you make the content, then it's there
working for you. And like I mentioned,
this is an extra stream of income. So,
this is not going to be like the main
income source, although it's just nice
to get another extra few hundred
potentially up to an extra few thousand
a month just flowing through. All right,
so now let's go over how it works and
kind of clear up I think the
misconceptions that people have about
this. So it's pretty straightforward,
but essentially what you're going to
want to do is leverage the Meta
ecosystem. All right, because Meta
doesn't only own Instagram, it owns
Facebook as well. I'm sure a lot of you
guys know this. And what you have the
ability to do is cross-ost from
Instagram onto Facebook automatically.
Like each time you post on Instagram,
not only are you getting the views, the
followers, the monetization
opportunities there, but you could have
it automatically cross-osting onto
Facebook as well. That way, you're
building a brand there, getting more
views, more followers, and monetization
opportunities there on Facebook, right?
And a lot of people don't know this.
They only post on Instagram, right? And
Instagram is still the best platform.
There's lots that you can do there, but
uh you're missing out on extra
opportunity if you're not cross-osting
onto Facebook. Okay? So on Instagram
they have something which is called the
reals bonus program where you get paid
directly from views. So what's
interesting about this um feature is
that I have access to it on a couple of
my pages but then on a couple other
pages I don't have access to it. And
this is because it's like a invite only
feature and who they invite is really um
arbitrary based off my experience. You
know some pages that you would think
would qualify but haven't got invited
whereas others have. So it's kind of
inconsistent. It's one of those features
which is like trial wheels where certain
pages who should have it may not and
vice versa. But yeah, this is something
that you keep your eye out for. And you
could see here, this video got 1.7
million views. I got 120 bucks from it.
This one got 2 million views. I got 113
bucks for it. So, how they calculate the
payout also depends on like the audience
and a couple other variables. But you
could see this is just some extra, I
guess, bonus income. You could think
about it coming in through views, which
is pretty cool because you're not doing
any extra work for it. And also, what
they have is something called the
content monetization program on
Facebook. Now, this one is invite only
as well, but it allows you to get paid
for views if you do get invited, right?
So, here are just some screenshots of
balances or payouts and a couple
different formats. This is in the
platform. This is an invoice and this is
also in the platform. Now, keep in mind
there's also some other bonus programs
as well. U this is something that
they're constantly
um in beta testing with just like new
program seeing what works best what
doesn't and sometimes they name similar
like programs after different names so
there was like a summer reels bonus
program at some point there's a couple
other names for content monetization
programs on Facebook as well now these
features are ever evolving but it kind
of just shows what's possible when it
comes to actually getting paid for views
directly from these platforms here okay
now in order to qualify
As of right now, the time of recording
this video, it's mostly USA and a few
other developed countries like South
Korea and Japan and I believe the UK as
well. And this list is changing a little
bit, but oddly enough, that's kind of
like the batch of countries. Also, you
have to be 18 plus or whoever owns the
account must be 18 plus. And then it's
invite only like I mentioned as well.
So, this is kind of how you qualify. And
then there's no like certain amount of
followers that you have to reach um like
maybe other platforms where it's more
clear uh and there's like an actual
threshold. This is more uh ambiguous
unfortunately. So uh you just have to
keep your eye out for when you get
invited rather than crossing a certain
threshold if that makes sense. All
right. Now the four monetization methods
that I've just gone over are the most
universally used in terms of making
money converting the attention into
income on Instagram. Right. So, no
matter what type of niche your page is
in, what type of audience you're
building, monetizing with newsletters,
digital products, paid promos and
shoutouts, and also the reals bonus
program and the meta ecosystem, like
those are the most universally used no
matter what niche you're in. So, it's
not dependent. Now, there are also a few
other monetization methods that are
more, let's just say, specific and not
universal, but can still be very
effective methods depending on what
niche you're in that I want to run
through you guys as well, just so you
know the possibilities, right? cuz it's
not like there's only four ways to
monetize and that's it. There's all
these other like kind of unique and more
niche ways to monetize which I think are
important to be aware of. Now, with that
being said, let's dive into the first
more niche method here, which is going
to be physical products. So, this is a
pretty solid way to monetize as well.
And some examples of physical products
are like apparel like you could see on
the screen here, or it could just be
some sort of little accessories or gear
or, you know, posters, wall art. You
know, these are just some examples of
physical products. anything that's
actually tangible, something you could
hold. Whereas a digital product is like
fully digital. And like you could see
this example right here. This is like a
faith Christianity based page. And they
have like um a separate page that
they've grown actually dedicated towards
um their clothing line, right? Their
apparel where they have uh you know
certain designs that are faith related
on shirts, hats, things of this nature.
All right. And then you could like click
on their website here and they have just
a simple like, you know, Shopify page or
sales page with the products listed
here. Now, keep in mind with this type
of monetization method, a lot of people
think it's a lot more headache than it
is. You still don't have to deal with
inventory. You don't have to deal with,
you know, shipping and customer service.
There's other platforms out there that
make that handle all that for us, right?
So, Printull, Printify, like these are
print ondemand companies which will take
care of all of that headache for you,
but take a percentage of like the deal,
right? So, let's just say you sell a
shirt for like 60 bucks, you know, maybe
you make, you know, $20 profit margin
instead of 30, for example, right? Like
they take a little cut. So, it's less
profitable, but they save you all the
headache, which is worth it. Now, keep
in mind apparel is the most popular here
as physical products and you know some
great this does depend on the niche like
I mentioned before diving into these
specific methods but if you're in a
niche like motivation or like fitness or
faith or masculinity like these are
typically niches that are more aligned
with like clothing brand stuff and then
um yeah the process is pretty simple.
You just use these platforms like
Printify, Printiful. They kind of like,
you know, sell appeal as someone buys
it, right? That way you're not paying
money upfront for inventory and they
just print it on the material and all
that stuff that you set up ahead of time
on like what type of format, whether
it's a shirt, hoodie, whatever, and they
take care of the rest. So, obviously,
you got to set it up first, but once
it's set up, it's pretty passive and
simple and not much headache. So, this
is a pretty cool option. Uh, we've also
got affiliate marketing. So, this is
where you're selling some sort of
product that is not actually created or
owned by you, right? But like from other
from another more established, more
reputable company or business in your
niche, right? And then by selling their
product, you get a little commission.
Um, this is usually not one that I like
fully suggest because you could make
more money long term just like learning
the skills and using AI and the tools to
create your own valuable digital
product. But affiliate marketing is good
for people at the beginning who maybe
just want some experience like uh
marketing and you know promoting rather
than having to like worry about building
the product yourself. But I think that's
a good skill to learn. Anyways,
regardless uh with that being said,
here's an example of uh someone in the
neuroscience niche. So this is
Neuroglobe. They're posting all this
type of content that attracts people who
are interested in like you know
optimizing their brain health and uh
their cognitive thinking and just
anything regarding neuroscience. And you
can see in their bio they're official
partner of Fely VB. Um it's essentially
what is it? It's a capsule. I think it's
like some sort of mushroom capsule um or
pill where people take it and it has
like you know it clears up uh their
brain and makes them think more clearly
and uh more focused etc. Whatever it is,
it's something that the audience
actually would be interested in. And
this person didn't actually create this
product. they're just affiliating for
it. So, they get like a percentage of
each sale. And this percentage can vary
depending on like what the specific
arrangement is. Sometimes it's like, you
know, 50% or other times you have 100%
resell rights um on a couple other
things. So, just sort of depends. Now,
where you could find opportunities for
like like this is again either reaching
out to other people who are doing and
promoting this on other pages the same
way we did in the promos and shoutouts
or you could contact certain brands or
companies yourself that you already know
are are selling. And then also there's
platforms like you know Digi Store and
you know some other platforms where you
could find affiliate marketing
opportunities. So just to kind of wrap
this one up here I typically like don't
suggest it as a main option. It's like
it only works really well in specific
scenarios and cases because it's just
much more effective long-term, more
profitable. You learn more skills if you
set up your own digital product. And it
also is highly converting as well if it
is your own digital product because you
have more control of like what it looks
like, how much it costs, and who it's
for. That way you can make it
specifically geared towards your
audience where affiliate marketing
products are a bit more general and not
as specific and tailored to your
specific audience. All right. So, I know
I was ranting here, but let's move on to
the next one. So, uh, another
monetization method is clipping. So,
this is where you could get paid by
views or for views based off specific
background music that you use or
specific uh people that you post. Now,
Instagram doesn't pay you directly for
these views. You're going to want to use
a platform called Um, so this is a
platform that is becoming very popular.
And essentially within there's like
uh earning opportunities, monetization
opportunities for clipping where you
could, for example, make a post or a
reel with a specific background sound or
of a specific person and copy the link
of that video on Instagram and paste it
into and they'll track how many
views you get and pay you accordingly.
Right? So, this is typically like $1 per
thousand views. That's pretty standard.
And one example you could see here is
this guy, Rob the Bank. He has a
clipping campaign. So, he's just dumping
a bunch of money into this clipping
campaign. So, anyone who joins up and is
accepted and posts a clip of him on
Instagram that qualifies, then they can
get paid for views if they just paste
the link within the channel. So, it may
sound a little bit confusing, but it's
actually very straightforward. And if
you're curious, just open and look
some of for some of those opportunities
yourself. Um, obviously, it depends on
the opportunity because, you know, maybe
you're not going to find within your
niche specific background music or or
people that like align. So, this is why
it's a more niche and dependent one on
whatever type of content you're posting.
But, let's just say you're in like the
uh you know, money or motivation or
business niche that this guy for example
falls into and you post a clip of him on
your page with just like the simple this
is the subtitle format with like a
hookup top. You know, this one got
viral. I think it got like some hundreds
of thousands of views. So, um I assume
this person is part of this clipping
campaign here. So, they copy the link of
the video, put it into the campaign, and
then you get paid. And obviously um it's
not like an unlimited budget. So maybe
they max out like you can only earn 500
bucks from a single reel. So if you get
like 20 million views, you know, you're
not going to get like you know $20,000
for example. They cap it at some range.
Okay. So that is clipping. Now also
there is the option of services. So this
one is like again very niche. But if you
have some sort of skill set, if you
already are good at something, in this
case this guy is like a videographer or
photographer. It says sport
videographer.
sport videography more specifically. He
like he posts uh content on his page
that attracts, you know, more of like a
cinematic videographer type audience or
just people who enjoy the content. And
then if you see his bio, he has a
website where he kind of goes more over
his work and his services and how he can
help other people with their projects,
right? So then occasionally, every once
in a while, he could kind of like
promote and drive traffic to his own
services and monetize that way, right?
So again, this is more specific and
niche for people who are actually
interested in offering their own skills
as a service. Okay. Now, the last method
that I have here is what's called a
brand placement. So, this one is one of
the easiest ways to monetize. And here's
an example of what this looks like. What
I mean by brand placement is like you
literally in the corner of your screen
somewhere have like some uh um brand
name or logo, right? So, for example,
this company Koshi is paying this page,
Hoop Society, um, for simply having
their logo in each one of their videos,
right? And how this works is this person
gets paid a certain amount of money per
views that he gets from this video
because he has like this sponsor or this
brand placement on it, right? So, uh,
keep in mind again this is very niche
specific. Um I believe this company here
Khi is all about like you know
predictive um marketing predictive
predicting markets in like the sports
industry right so obviously it works
good for a basketball page now obviously
that may not work for your niche and
also you might see opportunities where
it's like you know gambling companies
are wanting to do this so then obviously
you could just evaluate the options that
you have and see whether it's worth it
for you but just nonetheless important
to know that something like this
actually exists right and then typically
how this works is again either the
companies will reach out to you uh the
same way promos or brand deals work like
kind of inquiring about it or you could
reach out to the company like so for
example I have uh a basketball page
myself as well so if I wanted to reach
out to this company here because I see
them doing it on one of my competitors
I'm sure they'd be down to work with me
and we could get something set up but
the reason I don't is because it just
doesn't align with this is kind of like
sports gambling and I don't like that so
um to each their own right now these are
just some additional extra ways ways to
monetize that I think you guys are aware
of or should be aware of. And even on
top of these methods, there's even more
out there that are like more niche, but
I think these are like the most
important ones to be aware of outside of
the four universal ones that we've gone
over already. All right, so now with
that being said, let's continue moving
forward and going over this idea right
here, which is very important, and it's
that owning a theme page is essentially
the same as owning a digital asset,
right? Because think about it. What is
an asset? It's something that has value,
right? Like in real life, there's like,
you know, homes, cars, property, there's
other things out there that inherently
have value in and of itself. Now, when
you're building a theme page, what
you're doing is building a digital asset
because your theme page has value in and
of itself. This is why creators, brands,
and companies are willing to pay you in
order to get access to your audience.
It's because you having the attention of
that audience of that market is valuable
in and of itself, right? Right? And I
explain this in a way to some of my
clients who are in real estate in real
life. I say having a theme page is
essentially the same as owning digital
real estate. Right? So it's real estate.
It's something that is valuable in and
of itself. It's something that people
will pay you in order to get access to
in a sense. It's just digital rather
than something that's like physical or a
property, right? And they they they
giggle at that that one and they agree
because it's true, right? And also with
that being said, considering it's a
faceless theme page, it's a sellable
asset, right? So think about it. If
someone builds a personal brand and they
build it to like a couple hundred
thousand followers, like they're not
able to like exit or sell that if they
wanted to, right? Because their face is
associated with the page and the
audience that they built. There's an
identity associated there. It's
dependent on them. Whereas with a
faceless page, you're essentially
building a brand that is a separate
entity. aside from yourself, which kind
of operates on its own, right? And
you're not attached to it. Your identity
is not associated with it in any way.
Because of that, you have the option
technically to sell it, right? If you
grow to like hundreds of thousands,
millions of followers, and you come to
the conclusion that you'd prefer to sell
your page, you have the option to.
There's been huge payouts for Instagram
pages and I'm not even gonna begin
getting into it because you won't
believe me, but there was like
collections of pages that have been sold
for like literally millions of dollars.
You could look it up. There's a page
like Dcoin, which is like this is like a
meme page, but you know some other big
pages out there like Hood Rap TV, like
these traditional pages that maybe you
remember seeing while growing up, like
these are selling for like millions of
dollars. I'm not going to say that you
should expect the same yourself. Not
that's not what I'm saying. But what I'm
saying is that is what's possible. And
even if you're not selling at that high
of a rate, you could still exit for like
over 100K if you build a really strong
solid brand, right? And that's not going
to happen in a year, two years, etc. But
just understand that you have the option
to and there's opportunity there, right?
And for me personally, I prefer holding
on to my pages because I know I can make
more money with them long term the way
we've got them set up. But for certain
people in certain circumstances, it
might make sense. Like let's just say
you love theme pages and you got started
with it and you started growing it and
monetizing it and everything's going
well, but over time you want to move on
to the next chapter of your
entrepreneurship journey and maybe you
want to like get into real estate or you
want to do something else that requires
capital. Maybe what you could do is
like, you know, sell your asset that
you've built up and take that capital
and invest it in other places as you see
fit that will continue developing
whatever you're looking to do, right?
So, in that circumstance, it makes sense
to sell it. Whereas, if you love the
business and you want to continue it,
then it just makes sense to keep it
because you'll make more money over
time, right? But I also think it's just
very important to understand this con
concept here that you're building an
asset that has value in and of itself
that also is sellable as you see fit.
Okay. So now with that being said, I
want to move on to this next section
here which has to do with nurturing.
Right? Because keep in mind for people
to buy from you, they must know you,
like you, and trust you. Right? This is
a popular termed phrase which maybe
you've heard before and it's absolutely
not utterly true. like each stage must
be met in order to pe in order for
people to buy from you, right? So
although some of the monetization
methods don't require uh people to buy
from you like for the newsletter or for
the paid promos and shoutouts like
something like a digital product or a
physical product or something else that
you're trying to sell on a page like
your audience must know you, like you,
and trust you ultimately, right? And how
you get them to know you and like you is
simply through your content, right? just
simply by getting your page out there,
by posting content that people like and
enjoy and maybe they follow you. That's
how you get them to know you and just
like you, but they don't trust you just
from the content, right? You're not
establishing establishing yourself or
positioning yourself in a way where they
actually feel like they trust you on a
deeper enough level to like put money
into something that you're offering, for
example. Right? And with that being
said, it's important that we do a couple
other things on our on our end in order
to build that trust, right? And some
pillars of building trust with a theme
page have to do with brand consistency,
positioning yourself as an authoritative
page, someone who knows what they're
talking about, an expert, also having
social proof, which I'll go into in a
second here, and also providing value,
right? You know, solving the audience of
your problems, educating them, and just
overall providing value in that sense,
right? And in order to do this, there's
a few main touch points that allow you
to show your brand consistency, to
position yourself as an authority, to
show social proof, to provide value, to
educate. There's a few main touch points
that you can consider in order to build
upon these layers here. Right? And let's
dive into this first one here, which is
the newsletter, right? So, this is why I
suggest everyone to start a newsletter.
It's just one of the best nurturing
assets that you could have that allow
you to build a stronger connection with
your audience compared to like anything
else that we could do, right? Because if
you have people signed up to your
newsletter and each week, twice a week,
you know, they're going through and
they're reading something that's
actually valuable to them, something
that's interesting to them, something
that shows that you actually know what
you're talking about and that educates
them, like these are the people who are
going to be the most likely to buy from
you in the near in the in the future at
some point if you end up selling
something, right? So, a newsletter is a
great place for you to do this. There's
also something called a broadcast
channel, which is great for this as
well. So, I kind of like to think of
this as like the newsletter within
Instagram. And if you don't know what a
broadcast channel is, it's essentially a
group chat. It's a group chat that you
could create where your followers could
join it, but you're the only one who
could send stuff in there, right? So,
it's called a broadcast channel. And
essentially, you could treat it similar
to a newsletter, right? because maybe
not everyone who follows you is going to
be reading your emails as well. But
maybe, you know, if they're not reading
the emails, they're reading the, you
know, uh, broadcast channel, right? So,
this is why I call it touch points. If
you can't reach someone on one of the
touch points, you could reach them on
another touch point. So, this is why
it's important to be doing, uh, a bit of
all of them as well. Now, again, here
are some examples like this person is
showing the results of a study about a
certain food in the health niche. And
you know this one is going and showing a
different study for example and giving
the link to it so people could read it
be educated and this is just another way
to again nurture educate provide value
build trust and position yourself in a
way where you're you know touching your
audience on a deeper level and getting
them to cross that threshold of trusting
you. Okay. Now you also have the option
to do posts and carousels. These are
typically a lot more nurturing and
educational compared to reals which are
more geared towards entertainment let's
say. So you could have one like this.
This these are all examples of this page
in the health niche here. So it just
says, you know, mothers who took 15
milligrams of saffron twice daily
reached clinical remission of 96% of
postpartum depression cases. So just
very niche. And then it says read
caption. And in the caption they dive
deeper into like the context of whatever
this message is here. And again it's
just another way to educate your
audience, nurture them, provide value,
um position yourself in the right way.
Okay. Now, also you could do this by uh
having your lead magnet and your freebie
be downloaded by your audience. So, what
this does, it kind of ties into what I
mentioned earlier, which is if you
provide something of free uh that's free
to your audience and they get value from
it, they learn something new, they're
educated, it makes them wonder in their
mind later down the line if you're
selling something, wow, if I got this
much free value and learn this from
something you gave for free, imagine how
much you they could learn from like the
paid offer, right? That's kind of what
you want them to have going on in their
minds. And that's what having a lead mag
or freebie allows you to do. It allows
you to like give something out to your
audience for free. You know, show them
that you're actually a high-quality
brand who provides highquality resources
or whatever it is that you're selling.
And then that way later down the line,
they actually have that proof and that
trust uh from that first experience with
you and the free thing. Okay, now that's
another touch point. And another way
that you could do this is through
stories as well. So here's another
example from these are all from like a
health niche. I figured that that would
just be the best way to demonstrate this
here. And you could do this a couple
ways. You could either post like
occasional one-off stories every once in
a while that are like valuable or this
person has like a little series here and
it's also in their pinned as like a
highlight for people to go through at
the top of their page and it's just
posting informative stuff here like how
to change your life in 10 days. Follow
along and learn practical habits. All
right, so this is about like eating
whole foods. This is about like
supplements. This is about protein and
strength. So it's just educating the
audience, providing value to them. And
you know, you could have other little
minieries like this. And obviously, keep
in mind, it's dependent on your niche.
Just whatever educates your audience,
whatever is something that they'd be
interested in seeing, whatever helps
solve their problems, provides value to
them. You know, you could post stories
that serve as a different touch point,
right? And here's another sort of
example of this. This is smart as well
because what this person is doing is
using testimonials or social proof as a
mechanism of building trust, right? All
right. So, let's just say this person is
selling I believe they're selling like
pills or some sort of like supplement
product to a health audience, something
that genuinely helps them. And like it's
one thing to talk about your the
supplement and explain how much it helps
and explain how great it is and why they
could benefit from it, but it goes a
layer deeper when they could see that
other people are
buying it and actually getting value
from it. So this person is literally
just taking screenshots of testimonials
of people reviewing the product and then
just sharing it on the stories, right?
And this is stuff that you could also
talk about in like your newsletter or in
your broadcast channel or in your post
at some point. So these could kind of
work um handinhand at times, right? But
these are the main touch points, right?
These are ways that you can nurture your
audience, build more trust with them.
That way you have a stronger connection
there and they've gotten value from you
and it increases the likelihood of them
wanting to buy something from you in the
future, right? Because really really I
want to re-emphasize this here.
Sometimes people bring uh they start a
theme page and they start growing it and
they're only focusing on the content.
They're only focusing on just going
viral and getting a ton of views and a
ton of followers and in the meantime as
they're growing they're not doing
anything else, right? They think, "Oh,
if they could do their content like
that's enough." And then once they have
like, you know, 50K, 100K followers,
let's just say they try selling a
digital product. And maybe they get some
sales, but they're not, you know,
converting as well as that person
expected him, the product to convert.
And it's because they most likely
skipped out on this phase, which a lot
of people do. Like, how do you expect
your audience to want to buy something
from you if you haven't done your due
diligence to give them reasons that they
should trust you, right? Or you haven't
done your due diligence to plant those
seeds and build a connection with this
audience. So by leveraging these
different touch points here, educating,
providing value through your newsletter,
broadcast channel, posts or carousels,
stories, lead magnets, you know, that's
going to significantly increase the
likelihood of someone wanting to like
buy from you because of that level of
trust that you've established from your
audience. Okay, now I know I was
waffling there, but super super
important for you guys to understand
this and implement. Okay, now with all
that being said, we've gone over
everything that you need to know
regarding monetization and the different
options, how it works. Now, let's dive
into the next module. All right. Now,
welcome to module six. At this point,
we've gone over exactly how to set up
your theme page, how to grow it, get the
views, the followers, start building the
audience, how to convert the views,
followers, and audience into income
through multiple different ways. Now, we
got to go over how to automate, how to
scale this operation, right? Super
important step. This is what turns your
page from just being a theme page that
makes some money to a full-blown
business, right? that allows you to
really reach the full potential with
this business and not just have a page
but have like a theme page empire,
right? And like build an actual media
company, right? You know, these are the
next steps evolving from just a regular
theme page that makes some money, right?
So, in this module, we're going to go
over all about how to automate and scale
this properly. Okay. Now, the first
thing that's important to understand is
the distinction and the difference
between maintenance work and progress
work. All right. So in any business you
could think about tasks and put them
into these two categories, right? And
the same applies for this business as
well. So maintenance work is essentially
lowle leverage and repetitive tasks that
keep the page running, right? They
maintain the page. Whereas progress work
is high leverage tasks that actually
move the needle and grow and monetize
the page, right? So mainten maintenance
work maintains the page. pro progress
work actually grows and scales the page
and the actual business. Right? The
thing about this is most people stay
stuck doing maintenance all day and they
never actually shift their priority and
their intention towards the progress
work. And because of this, they're stuck
just finding content ideas, just
creating the content themselves, like
sitting there editing it, just posting
posting it and scheduling themselves, um
just engaging with the page, the basic
engagement, tracking the data. This is
all maintenance work. Of course, it's
very important, but at the same time,
this is stuff that is going to maintain
your page, right? But it's not going to
scale it. It's not really going to take
things to that next level. And if you
continue doing these things and you
don't focus on like other more high
leverage tasks, you're not going to be
able to really move the needle, right?
You're going to just kind of stay the
same. You know, if nothing changes,
nothing changes, right? Now on the flip
side, if you are doing like the content
strategy and split testing the content
and nurturing your audience, providing
value to them, educating them, um
focusing on marketing, monetization,
building the right systems, this is all
progress work, right? So these are
activities or tasks that take up your
time and energy that will actually move
the needle with your business. It'll
actually allow you to move to that next
level rather than just maintaining and
staying stuck. Right? So really the
whole objective here ultimately is to
outsource and delegate as much
maintenance work as possible so that you
could spend your time and energy on
progress work. Right? So this is
ultimately going to allow you to make
more money by spending less time on the
business. Right? This is this should be
the goal. You know you don't want to
have to you know create a business that
requires hours to run every single day
and requires you to be in the
operations. You know you don't want to
run the business. You want to you don't
want to work in the business, you want
to work on the business, right? So by
outsourcing and delegating as much
maintenance work as possible and
focusing on the high leverage progress
work, that's what allows you to work on
your business rather than working in
your business, right? So super important
to think about it this way because like
I said, this is really to any business
out there like when it comes to really
scaling and taking things to the next
level, you need leverage, right? and you
gain leverage by outsourcing and
delegating the maintenance work and
prioritizing your time and energy on the
tasks that actually move the needle,
which is the progress work. Okay, so
super important kind of conceptual idea
to understand first before we move on
here. And like I said, this is going to
allow you to ultimately make more money
by spending less time. So now that we've
gone over why outsourcing and automating
is important in the first place in order
to really scale this, let's go over when
to outsource specifically. This is one
of the most common questions that I get
for people who are at this stage. Now,
there's really no right or wrong way to
do this. It depends on your
circumstance, but in most cases, I
suggest to begin outsourcing and
automating once you monetize, right?
This is just the most organic way to do
it and allows you to scale without
having to really take any money out of
pocket, right? So, like once you
monetize at this point, you know, you've
gained the skills yourself, you've put
the systems in place in order to
monetize. And what you could do is you
could take a portion of that money that
you've generated through your theme page
business and put that a portion of that
money into outsourcing and delegating
and scaling. We're going to go over like
where that money goes in a second here,
but this is just the most organic way to
do it. That way you're not spending any
money out of pocket, right? So this is
what I suggest to most uh people.
Although like I said, it's
circumstantial, right? So you could also
technically outsource straight from the
beginning from scratch, right? Like
let's just say either you just don't
have time to like actually spend even
though it doesn't take that much time
like an hour per day, hour and a half
per day doing this yourself, but you
still see the value here and you want to
like scale it yourself. You could
technically start working with like
someone at the beginning and investing
in outsource at the beginning in order
to get this business off the ground. So
in that circumstance, it could work
although it's not what I would suggest.
And also, let's just say if you have
extra capital that you're willing to put
towards this, you can technically start
from scratch. So maybe in those
circumstances, it works. Especially
maybe you already have the skills and
you already have the knowledge, you just
don't want to spend the time doing it
yourself. Could make sense to start from
scratch. But I usually don't suggest it.
And you also have the option technically
to learn the skill of how to, you know,
grow and get the foundation set up first
and then outsource it, right? even
before you monetize because believe me
outsourcing and automating certain tasks
becomes so much more easy and organic
once you actually learn the skills
yourself, right? Because if you
outsource something and expect someone
else to kind of like figure out
everything by themselves without really
the proper guidance, things could take a
turn in the wrong direction, right?
Whereas, if you have the skills yourself
and you kind of know what to look out
for and you know how to guide someone in
the right direction, it becomes a lot
more natural and organic to outsource
it. even before you start earning money,
right? But in general, in most cases, it
just makes the most sense once you
actually monetize. That way, you don't
spend any money out of pocket and you've
already learned the skills. Okay? Now,
with that being said, let's go over like
the actual tasks to outsource because
you might be wondering like what what
are we even outsourcing here in the
first place, right? So, the first thing,
and this is going to be in order as
well, that most people begin their
outsourcing, let's say, process is
through content creation, right? Because
sourcing and creating the content is
typically what takes the most time and
it's the most timeconuming overall. And
because of this, the sooner you could
outsource this to a content creator, the
better, right? That way we have more
time to spend on the progress work,
right? Rather than this maintenance work
like creating the content and also you
should seek to increase the volume and
output as well, right? So for example,
of course you guys can imagine this is
obvious, the more content you post, the
more views and followers you get. And if
you have the right conversion mechanisms
in place, the more money you make as
well, right? So if you are outsourcing
the content to someone else and they're
able to do more than you were doing
before and you're also at the same time
putting your extra time and energy
towards the more progress work, that
combined, you know, allows you to make
more money than you would have
otherwise. Okay? And like I mentioned,
ideally learn the skill first, then
outsour out outsource it. This is just
the most simple, the least complex way
to go about it and the one that I
suggest to most people. Okay? So content
creation is what you should ideally look
to outsource first. Now next up is
account management or having a VA. And
VA stands for virtual assistant. So this
is essentially someone who's able to
help you kind of manage things, right?
Manage the page even though they're not
maybe necessarily creating the content.
They could help, for example, creating
the captions, posting and scheduling the
content for you, engaging with your
audience. You know, all these take a
chunk of time. And again, if you could
outsource that to someone else,
sometimes even the content creator does
both of these. We'll go over that in a
moment. Like it allows you to have so
much more time and energy that you could
put towards more high leverage, more
needlemoving tasks, right? So the less
time you spend on anything that is
thoughtless or repetitive, the better,
right? So again, creating captions,
posting and scheduling the content,
engaging with your audience, all of this
is thoughtless and repetitive. And
ideally, again with this business or any
other business that you're in, you want
to think like a business owner. And
business owners don't spend their time
doing things that are thoughtless and
repetitive, right? They outsource those
to someone else. That way they can do
things that only they can do, right? And
focus on the high leverage uh needle
moving tasks. Also, ideally, you could
promote your content creator to do the
account management as well. So, in some
cases, maybe this is like two different
people, right? where it's like you have
a content creator who makes the content
and edits it and then you have an
account manager who like gets that
content, posts it, schedules it, creates
the captions, engages with the audience,
but oftentimes this could be the same
person who kind of handles all of that
work together. And this is just
typically a lot more efficient and
effective. That way, you know, you could
you only have to rely on one person to
do what they need to do and it just
makes it easier to like train and manage
them as well. Okay. Now, with that being
said, the platform that I suggest that
you guys take a look at or learn about
when it comes to doing this properly is
Metricool, right? So, this is a platform
that allows um essentially you or
someone else to schedule content onto
Instagram. And just to show you kind of
briefly how it works, you know, you have
a content calendar here. So, this is
where you could like choose what time of
the day you want something to be posted
or uploaded at. And all you have to do
to like create a new, you know, post is
like, let's just say I wanted to post
Friday at 9:00 a.m. I just click the
9:00 a.m. line and then it brings this
up. All I have to do is like upload the
reel, for example, and I could change
like what format of the post it is here,
whether it's a post, real, carousel,
whatever. Or even trial reels. It allows
you to do it through here. Then I copy
and paste the caption in and then, you
know, do whatever else I need to do.
Configure the settings. You could even
add real covers and then you just
schedule it right here. Right? Right.
So, this is a very helpful tool. And
also what's super cool about Metrocool
is that, you know, a lot of people have
the concern about giving their account
details like the password and stuff to
like someone else to like log in and
post the content. Whereas with
Metrocool, you don't need to have the
content creator or account manager
logged into your actual Instagram
profile in order to upload the content.
uh you could actually just give them
login details to this platform the third
party metricool and then they could like
do the uploads and the captions and
everything that they need to do directly
through this platform and also the only
thing is they just can't engage with the
followers if they're doing it through
metricool they can only do it if they're
in your account right and keep in mind
is
uh a free platform and also has a paid
version as well so free I believe they
allow you to do like 20 or 30 videos a
month and the paid maybe like 15 20
bucks or something allows you to have
unlimited schedules. You could also add
like a team member in here so that they
could like do everything and manage
everything. And you could also track
analytics through here as well. Just a
super cool overall tool that I suggest
you guys um get familiar with. All
right. And also just to kind of break
down really the roles here from these
different uh tasks that we've gone over.
First, you know, you have the content
creator who's going to create the viral
content. you know, the stuff that's
responsible for bringing the views, the
followers, the audience, gaining that
attention. The account manager or the
VA, which keep in mind could also be the
content creator's role as well, who's
going to run and operate the page and
kind of manage things and keep things
maintained and that things are running.
And then you focus on growth and the
monetization strategy, right? That's
like the most optimal breakdown here.
And then also, you're going to focus on
managing this person or both people as
well. Okay? You know, this is really
what's going to allow you to, as we
discussed earlier, outsource and
delegate all of the maintenance work to
a content creator and account manager.
That way, you the business owner can
work on the business and progress the
business and move the needle in the
business rather than focusing your time
and energy on just maintaining things.
Okay, so that's kind of like the ideal
uh breakdown or way to split up the
rules in a way where you could actually
scale and take this to the next level.
And the last kind of role that we'd want
outsourced is driving traffic, right? So
this is all about conversion. And this
is different compared to the, you know,
content creator and account manager
because this doesn't actually have to be
a person. This is a system and it's one
that we've discussed throughout this
video and also one that I'm sure a lot
of you are familiar with, which is
ManyHat. So just ManyHat is just such an
optimal tool to have when scaling any
type of business on Instagram. just
makes our life so much easier and allows
us to convert so much better. Now,
ManyHat, you might be familiar with it,
you might not be, but what allows you to
do is, you know, drive traffic whenever
you get new followers or a new comment
on a real or on a post or on a story
reply, driving that traffic any
direction that you want it to be, right?
So, for example, like a newsletter, some
sort of digital or physical product,
etc. It's just a system or a tool or
some sort of automated, you know, system
or beast. Some
It's a system or tool that allows you to
take all of the attention that you're
getting and kind of funnel it and
convert it whichever direction that you
want to convert it to. Okay? And so I
definitely suggest you know for most of
you guys when you're at the stage where
you know you are focusing on conversion
and monetization definitely get many
chat set up. It's going to be a game
changer. Help you so much. Okay, so now
that we've gone over that, let's go over
how to actually find talent. Like where
and how to find talent. This is, you
know, super super important and
something that a lot of people struggle
with. So the first way that you could do
this, the one that I'd suggest the most,
these are also in order, is trusted
networks, right? So this is where the
best talent is typically found. Um, you
know, when I say trusted networks, I
mean, you know, people or groups of
people that you may already know who you
can like reach out to and speak with and
go back and forth with in order to find
the right person. You know, these are
environments where there's driven and
skilled and like-minded people, so you
guys are kind of on the same wavelength,
the same frequency. And then trust and
familiarity makes this process a whole
lot easier, you know, because if you
already trust someone, you're familiar
with them, you know, you don't need to
really worry about that variable like
compared to if you were working with
someone completely brand new from
nowhere. Right now, for example, the
people that I'm working with directly,
like in my inner circle, like we have a
trusted network and you know, content
creators and video editors and, you
know, account managers, people I could
plug in my clients with when they need
it. But if you like if you don't have
that trusted network, for example, like
what [snorts] you could do is try and
network on Instagram. Maybe just make
some friends there. Maybe you've like
made some connections over the, you
know, months that you're growing your
page and you could reach out to them,
see if they know anyone. You know, it's
a little bit tougher if you don't
already have a trusted network, but you
could try and find other little networks
that you can become a part of and become
familiar with. Right? This is the best
sort of environment for you to find who
you're and what you're looking for.
Okay. Now, also the second option here
is Instagram DM outreach. Okay. So, if
you don't really have a trusted network,
someone to or a group of people to tap
into, then what you could do is
literally just reach out to people
directly on Instagram. And how you can
do this is just identify pages in your
niche which are performing well or at
least look like they have potential.
like if their content is high quality,
they're staying consistent, and overall
you could just tell that the editor or
whoever's behind the page knows what
they're doing, then you could reach out
to them and see if they'd be open to
work with you. See if it's a good fit,
right? You could discuss all the details
after you speak with them to see if it
is a good fit. And something you could
do is literally just reach out to them
like this. Hey, name of their page came
across your page. Your edits are solid.
Quick question. Are you open to doing
paid editing work for a page that I'm
scaling right now? I think you'd be a
great fit. And you know, you're going to
send this message to, let's just say, a
handful of people. Some people won't
reply. Some people will reply, but won't
be interested in interested in it. Some
people will reply and be interested in
it, but not be a good fit. But you want
to find the people who reply, are
interested in it, and are potentially a
good fit, right? So obviously you're not
going to find probably the person you're
looking for on the first try, but you
know, if you do your research right and
you send these messages and you're just
genuine, you're trying to develop a
relationship with someone and see if
they could help you out. You know,
that's how you could also find someone
who has potential who could help you out
with like the content creation, the
video editing, the account management,
etc. All right, so that's number two,
direct DM outreach. And number three,
which is the kind of last resort, is
Fiverr or Upwork. Right. So here is, you
know, these are platforms where you
could just find freelancers essentially.
And you know, it's okay, but there's
just less trust, less skill, and less
likely to be aligned with your vision.
And a lot of these people, you know, no
hate towards them, but like they're from
maybe third world countries, for
example. So maybe there's a language
barrier, or maybe they don't understand
exactly what you're looking for, or
they're just not on the same frequency.
and they might try to understand where
you're coming from, but it's going to be
a lot less likely for them to be aligned
and on the same wavelength as you
compared to like you reaching out to a
page that you like or going within a
trusted network, right? So, that's why I
kind of say it's a last resort, but like
I said, it is possible to find a good
fit. It just may take some trial and
error, which is a headache, which you
know, takes extra time and energy and
wastes time and, you know, isn't ideal,
right? But just keep in mind that it
technically is an option and there's
potential to find a good fit. just less
likely than the other two options that
we've gone over. Okay, now with that
being said, let's go over what to
actually do next once you are able to
automate and outsource and delegate like
this maintenance work and then have this
extra time to focus on the progress
work. What you're going to want to do is
simply repeat the cycle, right? Because
at this point, you've gone through the
process and you know, let's just say
you've automated once you're actually
starting to monetize. You've gone
through the process, you've built your
page, you've grown it, you understand
content, you understand how to go viral,
you understand how to actually monetize
your page, put the right systems in
place, and once you automate it, you
could essentially take all of these
skills that you've learned, which
allowed you to do this on one page and
repeat the cycle and either start a new
page just completely from scratch,
taking everything that you've learned
from the first trial, or you can acquire
a new page, right? So, both of these are
decent options. For me personally, I
actually like acquiring new pages.
Ideally, I look for ones that are like
relatively smaller, maybe between like a
few thousand to like 30,000 followers.
You know, I want to take a look at pages
that look like they have potential and
I've built a decent brand to start off
with and see if I could get a good deal
for that page that's in the niche that I
like and then if I can acquire it, then
I can sort of just build off of that
foundation and it just helps speed up
the process rather than just starting a
new page from scratch. All right, but
you have the option to do both. You
know, these are both valid. acquiring a
new one maybe just saves a little bit of
time, right, and headache. Now, this is
how you actually put yourself in a
position where you're building a theme
page or slashmedia empire, right?
Because, you know, there's only so far
you can get to and so much you can
achieve with just one page. Even if it's
a solid great page which is growing
really well and has the right conversion
mechan mechanisms in place and is making
good money, like if you're able to, you
know, get yourself in that position,
that's great. and you know a great step.
But if you really want to scale and take
this to the next level, then learning
how to like automate and outsource and
delegate tasks on that page so it
continues growing and making money on
its own without you having to work in
it, but you're kind of just working on
it and managing it. That saves you so
much more time to go ahead and like
start or acquire a new page. Repeat this
process and start building up a second
page, a third page, a fourth page. And
this is what I've done. I own several
pages now. A lot of people that I work
with, they own like several pages as
well, multiple pages. And if you could
grow and start scaling up multiple
pages, of course, that's going to allow
you to make more income and just reach
new levels in business than you would
have if you just stuck with one page,
for example. Right? So, I suggest to
most people once they're at that stage
where they've monetized and they learn
how to automate and delegate some tasks
to take that extra time and energy and
repeat the cycle and do it again and
create multiple pages and streams of
income. or you know maybe you're
interested in other projects as well.
You just want to like have a theme page
kind of running on its own and it's
automated and then spend your time and
energy working on like a different
project that interests you, right? Um so
you have the option to repeat the cycle
or just automate things and uh go into a
different direction as well. But you
know I I love this business so I love
just repeating the cycle and kind of
doing it over and over again now since I
have the skills. Right. But now at this
point, we've gone over really everything
that you need to know regarding how to
automate, outsource, and delegate all of
that maintenance work that we've talked
about so that you could spend your time
and energy on the progress work, the
stuff that's going to allow you to take
things to that next level, turn this
into a full-fledged business and like,
you know, what roles to outsource, where
to find these people, how to train them,
all this stuff. So, um, now let's move
on to the last module. Let's get into
it. All right. Now, welcome to module
seven, mindset mastery. This is the last
module inside of this free course. And
at this point, we've gone over
everything that you need to know
regarding the business itself, like the
different steps, what they are, also how
what involves each step and how to go
about building all the way up until
scaling the business that we just went
over right before. Now, with that being
said, that is everything from the
business perspective. Now, I want to set
you guys off to apply everything that we
went over business-wise with the right
mentality, with the right, you know,
perspective about it, just so you could
get the most out of everything that
we've gone over today. And with that
being said, like, you know, the success
that you reach in business is almost in
direct proportion to the success that
you reach in your own mind, right? How
well you develop your
[clears throat] All right. Now, welcome
to module 7. This is mindset mastery and
the last module inside of this free
course. So, at this point, we've gone
over everything that you need to know
regarding the actual business itself,
like the different steps and in what
order and how to actually go about it to
the point where you could actually scale
the business as we just went over,
right? But now I want to equip you guys
with the right mentality, with the right
perspective that allows you to take
everything that you've just learned and
actually get the most out of it as you
possibly can. Right? And with that being
the case, like just from my experience
being in business just in general and
entrepreneurship for years and the
people that I've worked with, it's a
common pattern that the success that you
reach with the business is almost always
in direct proportion to the levels that
you reach with your own mind, right? And
the mentality that you develop. So in
other words, you know, business
development is almost in direct
proportion to personal development and
developing your mind. And with that
being the case, like there's just a
couple main, let's just say concept or
concepts or ideas for you to understand
and to kind of just equip yourself
before moving forward that I believe you
will get lots of value from, lessons
that I've learned along my journey and
things that I know will provide a lot of
value to you guys. All right, so the
first concept is the one of shiny object
syndrome. Okay. Now, some of you guys
may have heard of this in the past. This
is sort of a term that's thrown around
online. Some of you may have, you know,
heard this for the first time right now.
So, before diving into why this is such
a big thing, shiny object syndrome is
essentially the tendency to get
distracted and by like another
opportunity and to kind of pivot and
start something else even though you're
already working on something, right?
Because in this whole online
environment, you're going to hear like
this opportunity, this opportunity, that
opportunity, and hear like a new shiny
object, which may sound good in the
moment, which takes your attention and
focus away from what you were already
working on. Right now, that's just kind
of the reality. And the thing is, some
people, including myself, um fell into
this, let's say, trap um towards the
beginning of my journey. And a lot of
people still struggle with it. A lot of
people that I speak with. And you know
this visual right here is very
representative of what shiny object
syndrome actually looks like right? So
when you start a business for example or
you're learning something new the curve
like if you were to plot it on the graph
looks like this right it's like it's not
like completely straight up there's some
ups there's some stagnations but
ultimately if you stick with something
you will continue moving up and you know
with one trajectory another it will go
up and you will develop right within
that business you know the more you
learn about it the more experienced you
get with it the more times you you know
encounter trials and tribulations and
overcome them the further [snorts] up
you're going to yet the more you're
going to develop, right? Whereas with
shiny object syndrome, this is what the
graph looks like, right? It's like you
start something new, you're optimistic,
you're excited, you're learning about
it, probably watching YouTubes about it,
you know, whatever. But then it's like,
oh, it gets a little bit, you know, more
challenging than you thought. You hit a
roadblock and you are still watching
YouTube and consuming information and
it's like, oh, you know, here's this new
idea. Here's this new Amazon XYZ. And
then you know that grabs your attention
and then it gets exciting and you feel
like it's a fresh start and then you
start it. But then what you're doing
each time you do that is you're starting
from square one. You're starting from
the beginning. You know you're
restarting essentially, right? And then
you do the same thing. You're
optimistic. You're interested in
learning about it. You're motivated but
then it's like it gets a little bit
tough again. And then the same thing
happens. You find another idea. You
start again from zero from point blank.
And then the same pattern is going to
repeat repeat unless you overcome that,
right? You need to understand that no
matter like what like business you get
into, there is going to be ups and downs
and there is times where it's going to
feel tough and you know not hit your
expectations because there's no such
thing as a get-rich quick scheme or
overnight success. So you will fall into
like some let's say roadblocks. But you
need to accept that. You need to accept
that the path that you choose is going
to have roadblocks and instead commit to
yourself to overcoming those roadblocks
and going through that phase of figuring
it out rather than just taking the easy
way out and finding something new and
just repeating the process, right? Think
about this like a sport, you know what I
mean? Like let's just say you're
interested in playing, you know,
[snorts]
who knows, football, right? Whether it's
American football, let's just say
soccer, right? So, if you start the new
sport, obviously you're not going to be
good at it at the beginning and you have
to like dribble and you have to like
practice your touch and shoot and it's
not always going to be super easy at the
beginning, but you're going to get
better as time goes on. And of course,
there's going to be certain things that
maybe you're not as good at or you
struggle with when you're trying to
develop as like a soccer player or a
football player. Now, the logic of
switching from one business to another
as soon as it gets tough is the same as
like going from one sport to another.
Like if you want to be a professional,
if you want to go to the big leagues, if
you want to make money, do whatever it
is, but then you switch to another sport
as soon as it gets difficult just
because you see, you know, baseball
looks super cool. Oh, you get to hold
this bat and swing the bat, and you just
switch over to baseball. You're just
going to have to go through the same
thing all over again, just in a new
sport, right? When in reality, that will
keep happening unless you say, "Okay,
well, yeah, soccer is hard. I need to
work on this, but you know, let me let
me stick with it. You know, I've already
put time and energy into it. let me
figure it out and continue developing
because that is how you get the curve to
look more like this rather than like
this. Okay, so the reason I want to go
over this is because I know so many
people struggle with this just bouncing
from one idea to another. Something that
I did it myself a little bit at the
beginning before I knew any better and I
just hope to inspire you and bring this
to your awareness and attention that way
you don't make the same mistake. Okay,
so that's number one shiny object
syndrome. Now what I want to go over is
delayed gratification. Okay. And I also
have another nice little visual to go
over with you guys here. So, I want you
guys to understand that we live in a
world that is very fast-paced in a sense
that you could get essentially anything
that you want very quickly, right? So,
like if you want to buy something new,
you could go on Amazon and order it and
it'll be at your home like sometimes the
same day, sometimes the next day. It
depends where you live. Or, you know, if
you're hungry, you know, you could just
go drive somewhere and eat. Or, you
know, you could just literally Uber Eats
or Door Dash. And if you are just like
bored and you're craving some dopamine,
you could just open on your phone and
just start scrolling and getting
immediate dopamine. So, we live in a
world where we could essentially get
whatever our brain craves as soon as we
want it. Right? The reason this is a
problem is because anything that's worth
having in life takes time and is
difficult. Right? So if you try
something that takes time and is
difficult, like building a successful
business for example, you're not going
to get the rewards right away. But the
problem with this is because your brain
is trained to get what it wants in the
rewards right away. So there's a bit of
a conflict there. And you know, you need
to instead of getting immediately
gratified, practice delayed
gratification, right? Because if you
could delay your gratification and put
time and energy into something without
seeing the immediate results, that's
what it takes to actually reach new
levels and succeed with a business and
start making money, for example. Right?
So, if you take a look at this graph on
the screen right here, I believe it's
very representative of what we're
talking about here. It's called the
plateau of latent potential. It's from a
book that I'm going to go over in a
second called Ato atomic habits. Now,
you know, when you start something new,
again, this is like another sort of
graph type example. you know, we expect
things to be linear, right? Like this is
what we expect to happen. Like we're
putting our time and energy into
something and we expect to kind of just
develop and direct proportion the amount
of time and energy that we're putting
into it as time goes on, right? But in
reality, success and reaching your goals
is more exponential rather than linear.
It doesn't always work in the way that
you expect it to, right? So in reality,
it's a exponential graph that's actually
starts off a little lower at the
beginning. So, you know, there's going
to be a period of time where you're
putting time and energy into something
like a business, for example, or even,
you know, practicing a new sport in the
other example we're discussing where
what actually happens is going to be
below what you expected was going to
happen or take longer than what you
expected was going to happen or be more
difficult than what you expected was
going to happen. And that period of time
where your the reality is below the
expectations is called the valley of
disappointment. Right? So this is where
it's like you're putting time and energy
something into something but you're a
bit disappointed because things are
taking longer or harder than what you
expected it to be like, right? And this
valley of disappointment is where most
people quit, right? They this is where
they're most likely to like go into the
shiny object syndrome and try something
new. But you need to understand that as
long as you just stick with it, if you,
you know, delay your gratification and
you have patience and you're willing to
like push through this phase, what will
actually happen is you will exceed your
expectations. Things will take off a lot
quicker and be a lot easier than you
initially expected it later down the
line, right? Compared to at the
beginning. So this is what success
actually looks like. It's exponential
rather than linear. So you know even for
me like I started off in business like
my the first year that I was trying
things like I didn't see any results
everything was below my expectations but
as soon as I actually picked something
and stuck with it which was theme pages
even at the beginning it wasn't you know
um the way I expected it to you know you
guys know my story if you watched at the
beginning things took off very quickly
later down the line and even exceeded my
expectations but the only reason that
happened is because I stuck through it
through this valley of disappointment.
Okay. So, I encourage you guys to do the
same and just be aware that there's
going to be a period of time typically
where your actual results are going to
be lower than what you expected, but you
know, if especially if you're in the
right vehicle, you know, you're going to
exceed the expectations ultimately as
long as you, you know, stick through
with the value disappointment. Okay, so
that's the idea of delayed
gratification. Hopefully you guys can
all practice this and you know if you
want to really even master this like try
and not be so stimulated throughout the
day like don't go on your phone every
second and scroll you know don't just
watch a Netflix show each time you're
bored you know don't eat sugar all the
time you know these are training your
brain to be very you know immediate
gratification driven right whereas if
you like do other things like you read a
book or you know you take a walk or you
work out you know these are things that
you don't really get the results from
right away, but you know, you see the
results later down the line, right? It's
delayed. So, you know, the more accustom
your brain can get to this delayed
gratification stuff, the less resistance
you're going to feel when trying
something like a business, for example.
All right? So, that's the next point.
Now, the third point that I want to go
over here is focusing on what you can
control. Right? This is super super
important and just understanding that
there's essentially two different
realms, right? There's a realm of things
that matter and there's a realm of
things that you can control.
And the only things that you should be
focusing on is what is within these two
realms. Right? So you shouldn't be
focusing your time and energy on things
that don't matter. And you shouldn't be
focusing your time and energy on things
that you don't even have any control of.
Right? If you have no influence over it,
you shouldn't get distracted by it or
you know feel discouraged from it,
right? Only focus on what you can
control and focus on what matters. This
is just an overall concept of life. Not
only just in business, just in anything,
right? There's only so much you could
control. So you have no benefit to being
bothered or affected by things outside
of your control. Right? We only have so
much time and energy and thoughts and
focus. And if our time, energy, and
thoughts, and focus is dispersed among
things that we don't even have control
over, what sense does that make? We may
as well just focus our time, energy,
thoughts, and focus on things that we
can control, right? So then specifically
with this business with Instagram, you
know, as you're going about the process,
you know, with building your page and
growing and monetizing, like there may
be things that come up where it's like
you're not getting the views that you
want to get to or you're not making as
much money as you expected to or maybe
something happens to your page and you
have to like delete a piece of content
or you have like a, you know,
restriction for whatever reason. You
know, all these type of examples may
come up where you actually don't have
control over it. Like yes, you have
control over let's say the performance
of your content, but only to a degree,
right? You can't control the actual
views that you're getting from the
content or how it performs, but you can
control the content that you're posting,
right? So, you want to focus your time
and energy on how you can make better
content that people would actually
want to watch rather than just being
preoccupied with like being discouraged
of the actual views that that content
got. You see where I'm coming from? Now,
there's going to be all different types
of examples that come up again with this
business or anything else that you're
doing just in your life. So just keep in
mind to focus on the things that you can
control and do have influence over and
the things that actually matter because
that's what's going to allow you to
actually solve those things and make
meaningful progress rather than just
being preoccupied with things that don't
matter or that you can't even control.
Okay. Now [snorts] also I want to give
you guys a few book suggestions. Um I'm
not like the huge most huge book guy and
recommend people to read a hundred
books. Like yes, books are important,
but at the same time, you know, I
usually lean towards really
understanding and developing the
knowledge and skills from a few core
books rather than just like on a surface
level understanding like a bunch of
books where it's like a game, you know
what I mean? And these are the three
books that have genuinely helped me the
most to get me to where I am today and I
believe will be super helpful to you
guys as well. And again, you know, these
are not directly theme page related
books. These are just more like personal
personal development type books. And I
know that sounds cringy to say, but you
know, you need to become the type of
person who's willing and capable of
achieving let's say 5 10k a month in
your financial goals and the impact
goals that you have with this business
rather than just wanting it. Right? So
when you really understand specific
topics and you act like the type of
person who is capable of achieving these
things, that's when it actually begins
to happen. Right? Now, the first book,
Atomic Habits, this one is super, super
important because habits, the things
that you do on a day-to-day basis,
ultimately compound. And even though you
might not think about what you're doing
on a day-to-day basis, they're going to
have an impact in the long run, whether
you're aware of it or not. So, you may
as well just make sure that the things
that you're doing throughout a daily
basis are actually beneficial and
constructive towards getting you where
you want to get to. And this just is
pretty much everything that you need to
know regarding how to actually create
habits that stick and things that will
benefit you, right? Uh and other
important concepts such as like the
plateau of latent potential that I just
went over before. Super super helpful,
right? Another one is Think and Grow
Rich. This is a super super important
book that essentially emphasizes that
what you think becomes reality and your
thoughts dictate your reality. Now, if
you're hearing that and you're confused,
that's natural. I was at the beginning
as well. But you know, your mind and
your mindset is really everything. And
as soon as you understand that and you
also understand how to align your
actions with what actually is going to
be beneficial for you, then you're able
to put yourselves in positions that you
want to get into later down the line,
right? And this book really is not only
just like very informative, but it just
gives you actionable things that you can
do as well to start like programming
your subconscious mind to think and grow
rich. Right? This is literally the whole
foundation of the book.
>> [snorts]
>> And I really really suggest this one.
This one's probably one of my favorites.
Okay. And then the last one that I
suggest is the seven habits of highly
effective people. And this one is just
very very solid. It just goes over some
core principles and concepts that you
know are a pattern amongst highly
success successful and effective and
efficient and productive people. And you
know if you could become a effective
efficient productive person yourself, no
matter what you do, you're going to be
able to dominate, beat the competition
and put yourselves in positions that you
want to be in. All right. So these are
three very very solid books. I suggest
you read them. You're going to get lots
of value from them guaranteed. And you
know these are also books that I've read
like several times myself because I
really understand I really value like
understanding and downloading the
information of certain books into my
mind rather than just like surface level
you know reading through books and
keeping count if that makes sense. All
right. So I suggest these for you as
well. Um obviously you know try to have
the humility to understand that there's
things that you can learn and maybe some
of these that you guys have already read
maybe not. But I just like these ones.
Okay. Now, the last thing that I want to
go over is the real failure. All right.
A lot of people are afraid to try stuff.
They have fear and they essentially are
afraid of failing. They don't want to
try something and put their time and
energy into something just to have it
not work or fail. So someone might be
like watching this video for example
kind of thinking of trying it like
they're on the edge when in reality they
end up not doing it because they're
thinking to themselves like worst case
scenario what if it doesn't work out
what if I fail what happens then
that's what some people perceive as
failure whereas the real failure in
reality is not even trying in the first
place because think about it if you
don't try the only option is failing
your situation isn't going to change if
you don't even try something All right?
Whereas if you try something, at least
you're giving yourself the opportunity
to succeed, right? You don't have any
opportunity. You have no chance of
succeeding if you don't even try in the
first place. This is common sense. And
you know, they say you could try
something, you either succeed or you
fail. But if you're asking me, I don't
think there's any failure because
you you either succeed or there's a
roadblock that you over that you face.
And by facing that roadblock, it's
actually a blessing because that means
you don't know something and there's
something that you could learn and
there's new information that you could
obtain or there's new skills that you
could develop in order to overcome that
roadblock. Right? So a better analogy is
you try and you either succeed or you
learn or you face a stepping stone that
allows you to get closer to success. And
the only way that you get to that point
is by actually trying something. Whereas
if you don't try, if you're afraid of
fail, if you're afraid of failing, if
you have fear, if you're thinking worst
case scenario, the only result of that
is failure and nothing changing. Whereas
if you at least try, at least you're
giving yourself the opportunity to
change, right? And again, the only
failure is not even trying. And also,
there's no such thing as failing
ultimately because even if you try and
fail, in reality, it's not failing. It's
that you come across an obstacle and it
gives you the opportunity to learn and
develop and get better. Okay, now that's
the last thing that I wanted to go over
with you guys. Um, I know these don't
directly relate to theme pages, but I
believe they're really, really important
and I believe that the success that you
reach businesswise is in very close
proportion to the amount that you
develop yourself personally and your
mindset and just your perspective. So
hopefully this equips you with the
proper effective frame and lens for you
to go ahead and actually apply what
we've gone over today in this free
course and give you the highest
likelihood of actually succeeding with
it. Now, with that being said, let's
move on. All right, ladies and
gentlemen, welcome to the end of the
complete Faceless Instagram theme page
course. We're around 5 and a half hours
in at this point, and I know what you're
thinking. You know, Posasha, this is
better than any paid course that I've
ever taken. Believe me, I know. I'm
aware. Now, in all seriousness, nice job
for making it to the end and getting up
to this point because most people don't,
to be quite frank. They just click
around on YouTube, they watch a little
bit of one video, they're on to the
next. they're not really like taking
anything seriously and not taking
action, right? Whereas you're still
here. You've watched the end. You know,
maybe you've taken some notes, maybe you
haven't, but regardless, it just shows
that you're actually serious about
reaching your goals, actually making a
change. And I commend you for that. And
I want to actually reward you for that,
right? I love rewarding action takers,
people who take this seriously. So,
because of that, I'm doing a little
giveaway. So, I did this on my last free
course as well, but this time I'll be
giving away a free strategy call as well
as a 70,000 follower theme page that
I'll be giving you access to on the
call. Right? And this is a good page.
It's not like some crappy page with a
crappy audience. It's a good page. It's
actively growing followers every day.
It's in the health niche and it also has
majority USA audience, which is great.
And it could be monetized as well. So,
that's what I'd be going over on the
meeting with you, how to actually
monetize it. And you know, this way it
actually goes to someone that I know
will make the best out of it, right?
Someone who's serious. So all you have
to do in order to get access to it is
simply just follow me on Instagram,
Poshamoga, and comment down below on
this video in the comment section,
Insta, and that's what's going to get
you added to the giveaway, and I'm going
to announce the winner on my story on
Instagram or on my next YouTube video,
whichever one. Now, with that being
said, throughout this entire free
course, we've gone over everything
literally from the beginning to setting
up the page to actually growing it to
the right conversion systems to monetize
to scaling it into a full-blown
business. We've gone over everything,
all the information right now. At the
same time, information is useless
without implementation. Right? Don't be
one of those people who just watches a
YouTube video, gets lots of information,
gets hyped up, takes some notes, but
then actually doesn't do anything about
it, right? I highly encourage you to
actually take action on everything that
we've gone over in this video. You have
everything that you need, right? All the
information is there, right? So, take
action on it. Actually do something
about it. Don't be one of those people
who just like moves on to the next video
and takes some more notes and then moves
on to the next video and doesn't
actually do anything about it, right? So
please for your own sake just I
encourage you to take action and to
implement what we what we've gone over
throughout this video. Now with that
also being the case there's you know two
different types of people right? There's
a type of person who's going to try to
implement and they're going to go off
and do the trial and error and try
things on their own and kind of see what
works, see what doesn't work and kind of
learn from their own mistakes and just
kind of, you know, do some guesswork and
hope for the best, right? And that's not
it's not a bad approach, especially if
you want to, you know, kind of get
familiar with the business. But at the
same time, like it's so much tougher to
do it that way because you don't have
any direction. You have no clarity.
You're going to have specific questions
that aren't able to be solved on YouTube
or on like AI or just from looking at
other pages and you don't have any
accountability. And it just makes it a
lot tougher to succeed. And even if you
do succeed, it will take a lot longer
because you're having to like figure out
everything by yourself, right? Whereas
on the other hand, if you did this with
a mentor, I don't care whether it's me,
I don't care whether it's someone else,
whatever it is. If you do it with a
mentor, what that's going to ensure for
you is that you can accelerate the
process, right? Rather than having to go
throughout, you know, the whole process,
learning from your own mistakes, doing
the trial and error, kind of just
aimlessly going about it, you could
learn from someone who's already been
there, already done that. Ideally,
someone who's already done it for
himself, who's proved he could do it for
other people. you know that way you
actually have structure, you have
clarity throughout the process and
direction and you know feedback and
support and accountability. These are so
important when it comes to actually
succeeding with not only this business
but any business, right? And also I
talked a little bit about my like own
story earlier on, but one of the biggest
reasons why I am where I am today and
have gotten the results that I've gotten
is because of my close proximity with
mentors with learning directly from
people who were in the position that I
wanted to be in. Right? And that's not
only the case for me, like it's the same
for people that I'm friends with just in
business and even the people that I'm
closest with right now, like working
with directly in this business, like
Brandon, Matias, Michael, Alec, you
know, some of these people that you may
have seen me, you know, document about
because I document the results of the
people that I work with. Like these
people are working directly one-on-one
with me. like they get my feedback, my
accountability and learn from my years
of experience and trial and error, you
know, rather than going out and doing
that themselves, which takes time and
energy and, you know, time is the most
valuable asset that we have at the end
of the day. Right now, because of that,
I am opening some new spots for my
one-on-one mentoring called Growth
Accelerator. And this is not just like
some shitty copy and paste course where
you get some like outdated video

Full transcript without timestamps
So, last year I released a 4-hour faceless Instagram [music] theme page course, and it became one of my best performing videos yet. It's helped thousands of people start or scale their own profitable Instagram business without having to show their face online or spend [music] a single penny on ads. But since that course was released, a lot has changed. What worked last year isn't necessarily what works best today. There's new and improved ways to create viral content, more monetization opportunities, and updated AI tools, which have made all this a lot more effective and efficient. [music] And that's why I've decided to put together and release a brand new up-to-date course, which goes into even more depth than the last one. I'm giving you essentially everything you need to thrive in this booming creator economy, which is only getting bigger and bigger as time goes on. And I'm not just saying this, I'm speaking from my own experience. In the last year alone, I've grown over 2 million followers across my network of faceless Instagram pages, made multiple six figures, built an amazing team, which handles most of the work for me, and built an inner circle of over 100 active members scaling their theme pages, all at the age of 22 years old. Look, Instagram has over 3 billion active users, and 98% of them are just consumers. [music] That leaves the 2%, the creators, so much opportunity to capitalize off this gap and supply the demand. And doing this is exactly how I went from working at an ice cream shop 3 years ago as a broke college student with no direction to building my own six-f figureure theme page empire, which allows me to work for myself, have complete time, location, and financial freedom, travel the world, give back to my loved ones, and overall live life to the absolute fullest. And just to be crystal clear, in this course, there's no fluff and no BS like all the other videos out there. It's very direct and very straight to the point. As you go through it, you're going to learn everything from the basics like picking a profitable niche to mastering the Instagram algorithm to creating content that allows you to go viral consistently and predictably to the most effective ways to monetize your page and even how to automate and scale it. And also throughout this video, I'll be giving you everything that I'm actually using today, like the best websites and AI tools to use, AI prompts, growth strategies, the best monetization methods, and more, so you have the highest chance of becoming successful with what I'm about to show you. And I'm so excited this is finally live because I know it will genuinely help you out a ton with everything that I'm about to show you throughout this video the same way it's helped me. Overall, this is something that I wish I had access to myself when I was first getting started with this business. So, with all of this being said, make this video full screen and grab a pen and paper for some [music] notes to get ready for the most valuable video that you've ever watched on YouTube. Let's get straight into it. All right, welcome to the complete 2026 Faceless Instagram theme page course. As you guys know, I'm super super hyped to be releasing and going over this with you today. It's been a long time in the making and yeah, without further ado, let's just dive straight into it. So, firstly, just to give you some context on what exactly we'll be going over today and what you'll be learning about. First up, module one is my story and my journey. This is just going over the different milestones that I hit along the way, what that looked like for me personally on my journey. Overall, just kind of going over the the process on how I got to where I am today. I really believe this will be insightful and inspiring for you just to kind of get us kicked off. Module two will be theme page essentials. This will be giving you everything you need to know about what exactly theme pages are, how exactly they work, just kind of giving you a highlevel overview on that. Uh module three, set the foundations. Just making sure everything is set up the right way from the beginning. Module four, how to grow with viral content. Module five, how to monetize the attention as you're getting the views, followers, and building the audience. Module six, how to automate and scale this into a full-fledged business. And module seven, which is mindset mastery. This is going to equip you with the right mindset to ensure that you have the highest likelihood of succeeding with the information that I'm about to give you today. All right? [snorts] And yeah, with that being said, let's dive straight into module one, which is my story. All right? Because I'm sure you guys are watching this right now. some who maybe don't know me yet thinking to yourself like you know who even is this guy and why is he qualified to uh teach me about theme pages in the first place right which is completely valid question in this whole like social media environment so just to give you some context my name is Pasha Mogatum I'm 22 years old even though a lot of people say I look like you know uh 25 or 26 I think it's because of the beard but I am 22 I swear and uh I was born and raised in California this is still where I'm living today and really where everything got started for me was 3 years ago when I was a lost college student and I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I just had no direction and I was working a few different jobs because, you know, I was always driven. I was always like serious about making something of myself. I just didn't really know how. But what I did know was that uh money helps with that, right? And how do you get money? You work a job. Um when you don't know any better, right? So I worked a few jobs. I was an ice cream scooper at Cold Stone. Um, if you're from the US, you probably know what I'm talking about. It's the ice cream chain. And, uh, I was also a lifeguard and I was also a hotel worker. All right? So, these were the jobs that I was working. And for all of these jobs, they were all mindless and repetitive tasks every single day. So, I would show up and day in day out be doing like the same mindless, brainless, repetitive tasks every single day. Like, I didn't even have to like think about what I was doing. I was never thinking. Uh, I wasn't learning anything. There was no room to grow. Like for example, at Cold Stone, I was just scooping ice cream into buckets, mopping the floors, washing the dishes. As a lifeguard, this was so boring. I was just uh staring out water all day. And a hotel worker, I would just sit in this chair right here. And I'd get phone calls from people in rooms asking to bring them c or for me to bring them certain things like, you know, a blanket, soap, toothpaste, a hair comb. So I was literally kind of just like a monkey. I hear something and then I like deliver. I hear something deliver. Same with all of these jobs. Like I was never thinking it was just repetitive tasks every day which really bothered me. Uh I wasn't learning anything. I wasn't growing or anything. I also had you know fixed income. So I was just trading my time for money. So no matter how hard I worked, no matter how well I was doing the job, I was still getting the same paycheck at the end of the week, right? Um and that really really bothered me because that kind of like made me feel I had like limits. I was restricted. there was only like a there was a cap to how much that I could make no matter how hard I could work. And that didn't sit right with me, you know, didn't make me motivated to go to work or to really do anything at the job. And I also had little to no flexibility and freedom. So, at the end of the day, I was working for someone else. I had a boss. I had to be at a certain place at a certain time. And I couldn't really do anything about it, right? You know, this was my employer. They kind of dictate when I do what I do and what I do. And as someone who likes his autonomy, this really bothered me because I want to be able to like kind of do what I want throughout the day. And I was always being scheduled at inconvenient times on inconvenient days. You know, I even had to work on a Christmas Eve one time at night, the closing shift um instead of being with my family. So, I knew I wasn't going to like work these types of jobs like my whole life. This was just kind of when I was a little younger, but I also thought about kind of the future because the same would be for the type of jobs that I'd be working later on, just like for some corporation, some desk job, some 9 to5, it'd probably again be mindless, repetitive tasks, still fixed income. I'm still having a boss. So, even though I wasn't like working that type of job already, I I knew that's not what I wanted. And I knew that I wasn't living up to my full potential. I knew that I was capable of so much more than just living like an average life. And you know, [snorts] some people are completely fine with living an average life. You know, they they could um just work a regular job and retire when they're 60 years old and in the meantime like have to budget, go on like one trip a year and have a boss and sit at a desk for eight hours a day and have no problem with it. And that's fine. That's their prerogative. But for me, that's [snorts] not what I wanted. And I knew I had more potential and I was capable of finding a different way, right? Especially because at this time while all of this was going on, like I'd see people online who were my age or younger and they were like building businesses, traveling the world with their friends, making a ton of money and just living more of the life that I wanted for myself, right? A life of freedom, of flexibility, of um all these different things. And I knew that that wasn't what I was going to live if I kind of continued on the path that I was on, right? But this is really what bothered me the most is I knew I wasn't living up to my full potential. And seeing these other people like I didn't like I I saw them. I'm like these people are no better than me. These people are no smarter than me, no harder working than me. If they can do it, like I can do it too. Like why can't I do it? That's kind of like the way that I thought about it, right? And the thing that all these people had in common was they were making money online one way or another, right? So I was like, you know what? That's where I need to start. I need to figure that out, right? So, uh, I knew I had to figure out how to make a source of income online. All right, that was kind of like my realization, my first foot in the door. And long story short, I tried multiple different things. I tried like YouTube automation. I tried drop shipping. I think everyone tries drop shipping at some point. Um, Amazon FBA, a little bit of trading. And I made a little bit of money, but most of the time I just lost money and it just didn't work out. And it was pretty discouraging to be honest. Um, and I like reconsidered things, let's say, a couple times. But, uh, I knew that I didn't have any other choice, right? I wasn't going to settle. I wasn't going to give up. I I had to figure something out. Uh, and I came kind of to the realization that really the key to making money online, to building a source of income, was having an online audience. That's where everything sort of clicked for me. Um, that was like the key, let's put it that way. And I knew that a lot of people were doing like personal brands and stuff, but I never really wanted to do that. I didn't want to be like a cringey influencer and, you know, dance in front of the camera and like show myself every day and talk about my life. Like I'm more of an introverted person. Wanted to be behind the scenes, let's say. Uh, and that's when I came across theme pages or like faceless pages where you could still get the benefits of social media, of getting attention, of building an audience, uh, but you didn't have to show yourself. you didn't have to like have a face or an identity attached to it. And that's where I was like, "Okay, you know, this this is where I need to be, right? This is this is what I need to really go all in on, right?" So, I learned what I could about it. I kind of got started with it and I ended up reaching my first 20k followers after 5 months. So, I made a little bit of progress. Uh, I believe I got a little lucky earlier on because I got a couple viral reels which like pretty much brought me all these followers. >> [snorts] >> Um, but as time went on, like I was I was definitely stuck. Like I plateaued. Um, I started getting like a consistent few thousand views. I couldn't really get go viral again no matter what I tried. Uh, I think I got to a point where I was even losing followers at some point. So, I was like, Um, and I wasn't making any money at this point. I mean, I had no idea where to even start when it came to monetizing. And yeah, I just if we go down here, I overall had no direction. I had no clarity, no idea what I was doing. No structured blueprint or road map. I was just doing trial and error, throwing at the wall, hoping that it stuck, relying on just like YouTube videos. Um, you know, just watching some like surface level level videos that were just general and not really custom to me. And I tried looking at other pages, trying to see what they're doing and like copy them. That didn't get me really far. I also tried getting like, you know, some 15 or $27 courses, little shitty courses I thought might help, but that was all just like general knowledge and outdated stuff. So, I was really stuck at this point. Um, no matter what I tried, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. I just didn't know what I was doing wrong. I had blind spots. And, you know, I got to a point where I'm like, okay, well, this is not working. [laughter] This is kind of the consensus I came to. I'm like, you know what? uh if I really want to make this work, if I want to do this the right way, and probably what I should have done a lot earlier was like get some help, right? So I didn't have to waste any more time trying to do this trial and error, which clearly wasn't working for me up to this point, right? So I see out some help and this is when I decided to invest most of my money into my first mentor. So it was £2,500, which is like £3,300. And at the time I was like 19, maybe 18, 18 and a half. and I had saved up like like between four to 5,000 uh from the different jobs that I was working. So, this was literally more than half of my money. Um, so it was definitely a huge step. Uh, I was nervous. I was scared. I didn't I wasn't even fully certain. I just had a good feeling about it. And overall, I knew I had to do something, right? I [snorts] couldn't just continue doing what I was doing, which wasn't working. I wasn't going to quit, you know? I I had to figure something out, right? So, it felt like I didn't really really have a choice. And fortunately for me, you know, I I found a good mentor, right? This person was great. Um genuinely wanted to help me out. And um I was able to finally kind of learn from someone who was in the position that I wanted to be in. So instead of doing the trial and error, I could like learn from this person um learn from their mistakes that they already made. They were a lot more experienced than me. They could kind of show me the ropes. And from working and learning directly from him, this is where I started to actually see some results. So two months later, I crossed 100K followers and hit 2K a month, right? So these were like the first substantial results that I finally was able to hit with online business. So as soon as I started working with him, like I understood what to change with my content, how to actually go viral more consistently, um like the the different ways to monetize my page, how to actually go about that, what actually works, what doesn't work. [snorts] And um I managed to get these types of results uh earlier on. [snorts] And this is what changed the game for me because it was like the first substantial money that I had ever made online. And I'm like, you know what? You know, this is the foundation, right? This shows me the proof of concept. Kind of gives me a platform to be like, okay, this works. Now, if I'm only putting a few hours a day in and getting these results, like how much could I succeed if I do more? Right? So, at this point, I'm like, okay, this is the proof of concept. I transitioned out of my job to do this full-time because I was out earning my job. And I put my foot on the pedal and haven't looked back really ever since. And fast forward to now, I've built a network of over 3 million followers on Instagram, scaled to consistent 20 to 30k months, and essentially put myself in the position that I had always wanted to be in back when, you know, when I was working at Cold Stone, for example. Like I'm in a position now where I have full-time and location and financial freedom. Um I can travel. I can even bring my laptop and work from there. Make money still. I can go wherever I want, kind of get whatever I want and you know uh provide for my parents, get them nice gifts, take them to dinner, you know. Um, these are things that I'd always wanted and you know, I've managed to achieve it and I'm blessed and I'm grateful and I'm not fully satisfied with where I am right now. Of course, I still have more goals that I'm looking to achieve. Although, you know, it's a it's nice knowing that you set your mind to something and you achieved it, right? And I don't say this to like, you know, say, "Oh, look at me. I'm so much better than you." Like, that's not why I'm saying this. I I say it to hopefully inspire you, to show you what's possible. because, you know, I started probably not too different than, you know, you on the other side of the screen just like trying to figure it out, watching different tutorials. Um, you know, maybe you're working a job and you're trying to figure it out. So, I just want to inspire you and show you that it's it's actually possible. It's not going to be easy. It's not going to happen overnight. No one's saying that. Um, well, some gurus online are, but don't listen to them. Uh, it's possible, right? And I I like sharing my story and sharing my journey just to show people that, right? that they could also achieve it too, right? Because why can I and you can't, right? That's the mindset that you need to have. And along the way, I've also helped over 120 others do the same, right? So, if you see these screenshots on the screen here, these are all people that I am working with. And we could dive into some of these people uh specifically. This is Matias, Lou, Michael, uh Jason here, Lucas, Alec, Alitia. And you can see some of the pages on the uh screen as well. Like she runs the page Female Evolution. Um actually crazy story with this page. She started it less than two months ago and now it's over 110,000 followers. Um this is an old screenshot here, but you can check it now. Uh Brandon, he's also almost at a million followers as well. And you could take a look at these other screenshots here. But um yeah, I work with some great people. I'm blessed. I've been able to like put myself in this position now where I know enough and have the skills that I could kind of transfer it down to others uh and help them out along the journey as well. And you could also see more uh examples of this on my highlights on Instagram, Poshmogga. Uh I'm very transparent with who I work with. I document all the results. You know, you could cross reference a lot of these um people and the results and the screenshots. I have them all documented and organized on my page. But overall, just to put it simply, like I've spent years uh figuring things out, trial and error, experimenting, split testing. Uh I've invested over $35,000 at this point to like other courses, mentors, programs, masterminds, just to get access to certain information, to get access to the right people, and just from those investments as well as my own experiences and learning lessons. Like that's how I've managed to put myself in the position that I am right now, as well as help the people that I've been able to help, [snorts] right? And that's exactly what I'll be going over each step of the way throughout this free course on YouTube. Like, you know, from all the way at the beginning, the humble beginnings of working at Coldstone, working the different jobs to, you know, seeing the first initial results to being able to scale, turn this into a full-fledged B business, get to where I am today, how I've helped others. That's exactly what I'm going to be breaking down step by step in this course for you today. So, stay till the end. Pay attention. Like I said, grab the the pen and paper for some notes. Uh cuz we're about to dive in and it's going to get serious. All right, so uh yeah, I will see you in the next module. All right, now welcome to module two where we'll be going over the theme page essentials. It's really important to get clear on and overview these concepts and foundations before we move forward with the next steps. All right, so first and foremost, what exactly are faceless Instagram theme pages? Some of you watching may already know or have a good idea, others may not. Regardless, it's super important to get clear on this. So, theme pages are essentially pages on Instagram where the owner doesn't show their face or reveal their identity at all. It's completely anonymous. What these pages do is they focus entirely on a specific theme or topic or niche, right? And these could be any types of topics. It could be anything related to health, fitness, business, entrepreneurship, you know, stoicism, mindset. There's all these different types of niches or topics which we're going to go over in a little bit more detail uh in the next module. Um so some of these that you can see on the screen here, this is wealth. This is one of the most prominent theme pages on Instagram. And you could see in the bio, it's very descriptive of what the page is about. The leading source of all things business, tech, and news. So anything to do with wealth, uh money, business, you could see from these pin posts here, uh Netflix wins bid war about Warner Bros. richest people who have ever lived. the most expensive things uh humans have created. So, anything that has to do with like uh money or wealth or you know news or updates or business or tech, you know, this is the page for that, right? So, that's kind of like the topic or theme that this page revolves around, right? This one here, chat GPT tricks. So, this is all about uh AI and more specifically like with chat GBT open AI. Uh so all the content whether it's like posts, reals, any type of content coming from this page revolves around this topic. And then this one's also a different type of AI page, right? Which posts anything that has to do with AI, right? And not chat GBT focused, but just AI focused, bit more broad. And yeah, for all of these pages, nobody knows who the owner is and it's completely anonymous. And think of it about it as like a personal brand. But traditionally with personal brands like someone shows their face and talks about their life and you know different things that are important to them which allows them to build an audience and gain influence and gain a following. So this is the same exact concept as that is except the page is not relying on a specific person or a specific identity, right? But it is relying on a specific topic or niche, right? So you can see different examples of these on the screen here. And there's also uh dozens and dozens and dozens of different types of topics and niches that people build Instagram faceless pages around and are able to grow and monetize. All right, so like I said, we'll be going over some of those a little bit more in the next module. So this is exactly what theme pages are just to set that straight. All right, now I want to go over how exactly faceless Instagram theme pages work. All right, because it is fairly simple, although again it's important just to set this straight from the beginning. So it is really two main steps, right? There's not too many moving pieces. It's not multifaceted. It's not really complex. It comes down to really just these two steps here. One is generate attention, right? And you do this by posting content, high quality content of course, which allows you to get views, get followers, and grow an online audience, right? Build a platform of people who have similar interests in similar things by posting this content. Right? So you're generating attention. You're getting the eyeballs. You are showing up on people's feed, building the following, and just building your brand, right? Getting in front of the eyeballs. And then once you generate that attention, obviously that's not enough. That's not going to make us money. That's not going to make this a business. We convert that attention, right? We convert the views, the followers, the audience into income through multiple different uh methods or mechanisms. And this could be like advertising or paid promos or shoutouts where other companies or brands or creators will pay you to get access to your audience, right? To promote something in front of them because now you're sitting on a valuable asset and people want to get in front of those eyeballs that you've built. And then also you could do digital products, newsletters, you could get paid from views in many cases. And there's a lot uh more different ways to monetize that we'll be going over in the future modules as well. But this is really the foundations of how exactly faceless pages work. You post content which allows you to get attention, generate the attention. The more attention you get, the better, right? The more eyeballs you have on your page, the better. And then you convert that attention. You have specific mechanisms or methods which you employ onto your page which allows you to convert those views, followers, and audience into income. All right, this is essentially exactly how the model works. Again, it's not multifaceted. There's not too many moving pieces. It really just stems down to this. So, if you can master these two main pillars, which we'll be going over today, you're going to be all set. All right. And the last thing that I want to go over is uh why theme pages are the best opportunity in 2026, best online opportunity. And obviously, I'm biased. You know, this is what I do. I've been doing it full-time and it's been years now. But at the same time, I genuinely believe all these things and they're all true. Like, they're literally rooted in facts. Like, for example, it's an anonymous business. Like you don't need to show your face. You don't need to put yourself online, your identity. You don't need to be a cringy influencer and record everything that you do and really put yourself out there. There's no need for any of that, right? And this is one of the biggest reasons that I got started with this business. Like obviously now I show myself and I have a presence and I talk about sort of what I've done, my journey, and the lessons that I've learned, etc. But at the beginning, this is why I got started with this business. Like I'm I'm more of a reserved person. like I didn't want to have to put myself out there in order to get the benefits of social media and like the whole content world. I'd prefer to be behind the scenes and also the familiarity with Instagram like everyone has Instagram and everyone has been using it probably for years now if not a decade. So everyone kind of understands how the platform works and you see content coming on your feed and what that looks like and maybe you pay attention to other theme pages that you've seen. And all it really comes down to is making that transition from a consumer to a producer because you're already familiar with the platform. You already have it. You already use it probably every day. But as a consumer, you're consuming content. You're scrolling. You're wasting your time. And if you check your screen time, you're probably spending hours a day. But what are you getting out of it really? Aside from, you know, messing up your dopamine levels. So, if you switch from a consumer to a producer, considering you're already familiar with the platform, you could just get the other side of the spectrum, right? You use the same exact platform, but instead of scrolling, you're using it to create as a creator, a producer, and you could get the get the benefits of content and growing an audience and monetizing with the same exact platform that you're all familiar with. All right. So, that's another reason why this is such a great opportunity. Like me, everyone else, everyone's familiar with Instagram. Also, it's very beginner friendly. Like, it's very simple. We kind of just went over the model a second ago. It all comes down to generating attention and converting it. There's not too many moving pieces. It's not very like complex. You don't need to learn highlevel skills that like take years to master in order to actually succeed with this business. And that's what makes this different compared to like lots of other businesses that you hear people talking about online like you know Amazon FBA, YouTube automation. Like you have to learn real you know skills that take a lot of time and aren't easy for beginners to kind of get started with at the beginning for those businesses. Also the low barrier to entry to this business. You know you don't need any money to start. You can start a page for free from scratch today for $0 and all you need is Wi-Fi and Instagram to do it right. You don't need anything else. Literally Instagram and Wi-Fi and some discipline. It's all it takes to really get started with this business. Whereas others out there, you know, you have to spend like, you know, thousands of dollars upfront into like, you know, suppliers or products or inventory or a team to get started at the beginning just to get your foot in the door. And for, you know, someone interested in business but doesn't have years of experience, like that's not going to be the smartest thing to do. Whereas this one, it's, you know, literally $0. There's no reason anyone watching this wouldn't be able to literally start a theme page tomorrow, right? There's no there's no barrier to entry. Like I say, lower barrier to entry, but there's really no barrier to entry as long as you have Wi-Fi and the app, of course, right? And also, theme pages can really leverage and take advantage of AI. The process and being able to make progress with this business has never been quicker and easier than it is right now. Now, I'm not saying that this is going to be super quick and super easy and no challenges at all and it's going to happen overnight and that this is a get-richquick scheme. That is not what I'm saying. But what I am saying, which is true, is that this process has never been quicker and easier than it is right now. The amount of tools that we have access to when it comes to creating content, to tracking the data, to making monetization a lot more easier makes this process so much more efficient and effective and gives us so much leverage in this whole digital environment. And that is obviously the future. Like everyone knows that AI is going to be huge not in just the next 10 years, but literally in the next few years. And you know if AI is coming for your job, you know, you may as well learn about it so that you can get the benefits of it in the whole online space, right? That's kind of how I think about it. And also this is not just a business, it's a passion project as well. So it's kind of like the best of both worlds because a lot of other businesses like I mentioned the ones that I had tried in the past like Amazon FBA, drop shipping, like these are very boring businesses in my experience in my opinion. like it's all about just finding suppliers and numbers and comparing different things and customer service. Like it's it's a headache. It's not really fun. It's not really making an impact. I wasn't intrinsically motivated running these businesses. Whereas with theme pages, you get the both best of both worlds. Not only is it a business so that you get to monetize and the financial rewards of it, but it is something that's genuinely fulfilling and enjoyable. Like you get to create a brand about something that you actually care about and post content and make an impact on others. Like especially with the type of brands that I run and the people that I work with like it's all like genuinely beneficial stuff like if it's health or whether it's like faith and God whether it's motivation whether it's like business entrepreneurship AI finance like this is stuff that actually makes an impact and stuff that people actually have interest in right so when you could build a business where you could kind of have a degree of intrinsic motivation towards it and enjoy the process while also getting the backend monetization and financial compensation That's where you have the best of both worlds, which is something that I believe is very unique to this business that not many other business have. But yeah, this is exactly why I believe theme pages are the best opportunity, not only right now, but just moving forward over the next years. And also now at this point, we've gone over exactly how theme pages work and what exactly they are in the first place. So now that these foundations are set in terms of the overview, we can now move on to the next steps, which is the foundations of the actual first steps of building the business. All right, so let's get straight into that next module. All right. Now, welcome to module three. In this one, we're going to be going over how to properly set the foundations for your theme page business. That way, you could go about this the right way straight from the beginning. This is super super important because the same way if you're building a tower, you need to make sure the foundations are solid because everything else that you're building on top of that relies on that foundation. So, if that foundation is weak, everything else that you build on top of that is going to be unstable and could collapse, right? The same applies to this business and really any other business. We want to make sure the foundations are strong to begin with, not weak, because everything else that you're going to be learning throughout this free course is going to build upon this foundation. All right? And the first step of properly building these foundations and building blocks is picking a niche, right? And a niche again is just a topic or a theme. It's what your whole page is going to revolve around ultimately. And in terms of what exactly a niche is, it's just a specific topic focused on serving a clearly defined audience. Okay, pretty straightforward. And the reason why it's important to pick a niche as well is because choosing a niche helps you stand out, right? It gives people a reason to want to follow your page rather than someone else's, right? So, it shows that you're actually about something. You know, if you stand for everything, you stand for nothing. So, you need to um get a little bit more specific, attract a specific type of audience, right? Um people need to feel like this page is for them. They need to feel like it's targeted towards them. And I'm sure you've heard the quote, um, if you try to serve everyone, you end up serving no one, right? So, you don't want to be posting about all these different types of topics because then it loses its substance. It loses its meaning. And these things, standing out and attracting the right uh, audience is going to allow you to monetize more effectively, right? I'm sure you can imagine it's a lot easier to monetize when you have an audience of a group of people who have things in common, similar pain, similar interests, compared to just a random audience with random people, right? So, that's what a niche is. That's why it's important to pick a niche and most importantly, how do you pick a niche? Right? This is something that I know a lot of people have trouble with at the beginning. They don't even know where to start. Uh there's so many different directions to go in and they get confused and overall just don't know how to go about it. And obviously, we don't want that, right? So, as you can see on the screen here, I have a little visual which goes over how to find your perfect profitable niche. All right? And to find it, it's essentially the intersection between your interests or your passions, where there's proof of concept or proven demand, and three, which is where there's a high quality audience, right? A top tier, first world country audience. The intersection between these three variables is where you could find your perfect profitable niche. And firstly, the reason why it's important that the niche you choose is something that you're interested in is because one, it's just more effective by nature because you're going to already have some knowledge. you're going to have some interest in the topic, which allows you to create content that is more valuable and interesting towards people of the niche because you kind of already understand what would resonate with them compared to someone who's completely foreign to it, right? Also, it just makes it a lot more sustainable because when you choose something that you're interested in, something that you have intrinsic motivation in, it makes it a lot more likely that you'll stay consistent and it makes it feel enjoyable throughout the process, right? rather than work. You know, if you choose a random topic just because, you know, it has proven demand and attracts a high quality audience, but you don't know anything about it and you're not interested in it, not only are you not going to be able to create high-quality content that resonates within the viewers of that niche, but it makes it a lot tougher for you to like stay consistent and enjoy the process of building the page. All right? Then two, the reason why it's important that the niche you choose has proof of concept and proven demand is because we need to see that there is established other pages in this niche that proves that there's a big enough group of people out there on Instagram that is interested enough in this topic. Right? So if you find something that you're interested in that also attracts a high quality audience, but you can't see any examples of like other pages who have grown an audience revolving around this topic, maybe it's not the best option, right? Because just because you're interested in typewriters and it tracks a high quality audience who's sophisticated doesn't mean that you can build a successful page around it. Considering I doubt you're going to be able to find um any successful huge typewriter page, you know, if someone has seen one, please prove me wrong. I want to see it. Uh and then three, the audience quality. This is super super important because if you pick something that you're interested in and also see that there's other pages who have proven that this works and that there's demand but attracts a lowquality audience, people from maybe third world countries or people who are just more interested in being entertained rather than educated or learning anything, then uh it is not the end of the world. It just uh minimizes the monetization opportunities that you can get. So there's just less overall that you can do with it. All right. And what I have down here, guys, is a niche checklist. So these are questions you should ask yourself that by answering show and validate whether the niche that you chose is actually a good option or not. All right. So firstly, am I genuinely interested in this topic or at least curious enough to stay consistent? So this has to do with interest. Can I find other similar pages who've proven to grow and build an audience about this topic? So this has to do with proof of concept and proven demand. Can this niche make money? Does this topic attract high-quality viewers? This has to do with building a high- quality audience. And this last one, can I consistently and feasibly create content about this topic? This is also important to consider. You just want to make sure that the niche that you choose doesn't require super sophisticated or complex uh content style. For example, you know, maybe you've seen these like gym pages where it like, you know, shows animation of someone doing a workout and like all the muscle fibers and stuff and it's like a very complex like animated style even though it's a theme page. like maybe something like that, you know, you shouldn't um you need to consider when choosing your niche, right? You don't want to like pick a niche just to figure out like that's the only way to grow within it. Um but keep in mind most niches you're not going to have to worry about that. Most content styles are actually very very simple and easy to recreate. But just something to keep in mind. All right. And if you can check each of these off, you are good to go. All right. So, you want to make sure that each of these are checked off because these have to do with the three variables that we discussed earlier when it comes to picking your perfect profitable niche. All right. Something that is really important as well that I want to go over before we move on is the difference between entertainment focused niches which attract lowquality low intent audience versus value focused niches which attract highquality or high intent audience. All right. So, for example, some examples of entertainment focused niches are like memes or pranks or car crashes, catching predators. I'm sure you guys have seen those pages, etc. Like pages like this, you know, even though, for example, you might be interested in it or it has proof of concept, proven demand, you know, there's people clearly interested in it as well. It doesn't attract the right audience, right? You're just going to attract like no specific audience. It could be from like 13-year-olds all the way to like 80-year-old grandmas and they just want to be entertained and they don't have any intent to like learn. They're just low intent audience. You don't want to build any audience like that. Like I said, you could still technically build these pages and there might be some opportunities for you to monetize still, but it's just going to be a lot less compared to the opportunities that you'll get if you build a B a value focused niche, right? And a lot of people always ask me like, you know, what niche that I suggest to them. And I don't like just giving people specific niches even though I'm happy to give suggestions. You know, I want you guys to go through this process and this framework of pick picking your profitable niche, right? Really thinking it through. Um, but some examples of value focused niches are like finance, investing, AI, business, stoicism, fitness, health, mindset, faith, etc. So, these are all niches that have proof of concept. They have proven demand. They attract a high quality audience. The only thing left is you just want to make sure that you're actually interested and send topic. Right? So that is exactly how you can pick your perfect profitable niche. Now let's move on to the niche research. Now niche research is very important. Essentially the whole objective here is to get more familiar with your niche before you go ahead and actually start building out your page. Right? So, like understanding what different successful and established theme pages in your niche look like, what they're doing, and just getting some inspiration and ideas that you could grab from when it comes to building out your own page, right? That way, you're going into it with some context, with a point of reference rather than going into it blindly, right? So, here's how you could do this effectively in three simple steps. So, firstly, what you could do is search keywords or hashtags relevant to your niche into the Instagram search bar. So, for example, if your niche is business, you could look up business, entrepreneurship, founders, CEOs, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk into the search bar on Instagram. And what will happen is it'll populate you with different pages and content uh relevant to these words, right? And then this will allow you to find some pages that hopefully you like and get inspiration from and maybe want your page to kind of be like as you build it. Um, and then you could note down these pages and also check their following list to find more similar pages. So, most of the time when you find a page that you like, that is high quality that you get inspiration from, if you check their following list, most likely they'll be following like maybe 20 to 100 different pages also in your niche. That way, you could kind of just search through those pages and it makes the research a whole lot easier rather than having to find them from scratch each time. Uh, keep in mind some pages you find might only be following like zero people or two people or five people. So, it won't be as helpful, but most pages are uh following many other successful pages within your their niche and they kind of already done the research for you. So, it could be super helpful. And then also keep in mind over time Instagram will understand your interests and present you similar content in your feed later down the line. Right? This makes the whole research process a whole lot easier. That way, all you have to do is go into your reals feed or your explore feed and you're going to see uh other pages in your niche just like that. All right. So, once you find these pages, what I suggest you do is create three separate lists and note down the pages that you find into first a list of small pages 10 to 100k followers, medium pages, 100 to 500k followers, and big pages, which is 500k plus followers. So, organize them into these different uh categories of size uh sizes. And then what I suggest you do after that, the most important part here is check stats of each p uh page on socialblade.com. This is a free website, a free tool, which essentially how it works is you could just type in the username of any Instagram page and it will show you the statistics of it. It'll show you just the most simple stuff like how many followers they're gaining per day, how many they g gained over the last 14 days, the last uh month, how many times they're posting per day, just any other helpful information uh that you can take so that you can filter out the dead pages, right? So, uh if there's pages that you find that are like losing followers or they're like barely growing, uh you might want to just like filter those ones out. You don't want to be keeping your eye on them. It won't be helpful. and just reorganize this list to make the fastest growing pages at the top. Right? So that you could take all the different pages that you found through your research, organize them into these lists, and then once you do that, you could also organize them from the fastest growing to the slowest. And those ones that are in like, you know, the top 10 of the fastest growing, those are the ones that I suggest you keep your eye on the most because obviously they're doing something right and you can take some inspiration from that which can help you build out your own page. All right? And also what I suggest you do is once you have this, you know, list of top pages, fastest growing ones, analyze them, right? Because like I said, they're doing something right and there's something that you could learn from them. So just take a look what like what's their username, what's their logo, what's their bio, like what's their color scheme? Is it like a black and white color scheme? Is it like black and a different color? Is it, you know, just pay attention like what what colors is it? What what does their branding look like? What kind of positioning do they have? uh what [snorts] type of content they're posting, how often they're posting, what their captions look like, etc. Overall, just kind of evaluate and analyze these pages. Uh it's going to be super helpful when it comes to building out your own page. That way, you're kind of educated going into it. You have an idea of what works, what the biggest pages are doing. Again, that way you're not going into it blindly. All right? And I'm going to emphasize this really quick right here. Do not skip this phase. I know some people do because, you know, they may think of it as like boring or taking extra time and, you know, just unnecessary research, but that's not the case at all. This is actually a foundational step here, right? This is going to really set the foundations the right way so that when you do go ahead and build out your page, uh, you know what you're doing and you have an idea of what other successful pages look like rather than going into it blindly, right? So, don't skip this step. Um, it's important. Okay, now let's move on to profile optimization here. Okay, and really the main objective is to maximize follower conversion rate. Okay, so think of your Instagram profile as this is the analogy I like to use like an Amazon sales page, right? Right? When you click on an Amazon sales page, a company has listed that and their whole goal is to convert as many viewers of that product into buyers as possible, right? And your goal as a theme page is very similar, but it's to convert as many viewers of your profile into followers as possible. Right? So, if you think about how Amazon does this, like they have their product images, they have the name of the product, they have a description of the product, the customer reviews, etc. These are all different elements that are supposed to be there to persuade you to go ahead and buy the product or try and persuade you as much as possible to buy the product. Whereas with your theme page, you are working with different elements here to convince and persuade the viewer to follow your page, right? To actually want to be a part of whatever you're building. And these four elements are the username, the logo, the bio, and the SEO name. And if you see SEO name and you don't know what that means, uh, hang in there. It's it's very simple. You'll see what I mean in a second, but these are the four elements that you're working with. So, you want to optimize each of these as much as possible. That way, you convert as many viewers of your profile into followers as possible. Because if you don't have a optimized profile and like your username doesn't look as good as it could be, your logo isn't as professional as it could be, your bio is, you know, not doing what it's supposed to do, then people will be clicking on your profile and you'll be losing out on these followers, right? And we don't want that, right? Okay, we want to convert as many as possible. So yeah, let's dive straight into the first element here, which is the username. So here are some rules of thumb to keep in mind. So ideally, you want the username to be short and sweet. You want it to be easy to remember. You ideally want to avoid any periods or underscores or numbers and also aim to avoid any grammatical errors, right? You just want a clean, high quality, original username without, you know, any extra stuff or grammatical errors, any of that, right? and you want it to be memorable. Okay, in an ideal world, you can follow these rules here. In reality, it is not going to be the end of the world if you can't follow each and every one of these rules. Like if you have to make the name a little longer, if you had add if you have to add a dot in there, you know, there's plenty of successful pages who have grown an audience and have done well by making a name or having a name like that. But just ideally aim to avoid it, right? See if you can. Okay. Now, I also want to go over a professional username format that can kind of get you some ideas and get the ball rolling for you when it comes to creating or landing on a available high-quality username. All right? And the format or the formula is just as simple as two keywords. Okay? So, the first keyword, you want it to be relevant to your niche. So, if we're sticking with the business niche, uh some examples are like entrepreneur, business, CEO, founder, capital, scale, owner, visionary, etc. You could also just get some synonyms of these words here to find other similar words to get more creative. And then [snorts] the second keyword could be a noun or an adjective which aligns with your brand. So for example, network, collective, empire, mogul, elite, edge, lab, club, society, nation, hub, kingdom, etc. And then again, you can find more synonyms if needed. And what you'll aim to do is combine them together to see what looks or sounds good, right? So, you know, entrepreneur collective or business kingdom or scale nation or visionary society, like just plug and play with the two keywords and see what sticks, right? See what looks good. And also keep in mind, most names that you try at first aren't going to be available. You know, most of the ones that people think of off the top of their head, uh, someone has already thought of that. But be patient and keep trying until you find available options. And I assure you, you know, I've built enough pages myself and have worked with enough people to know that there's always great available usernames still out there. No matter what niche that you choose, as long as you're patient, as long as you try to get a little bit creative and you keep kind of testing and plugging and playing and seeing what's available, you will be able to land on a good one. I assure you that. All right. And also, what we could do is we could utilize and leverage AI to do the thinking for us, right? That way we don't have to waste time brainstorming too long um for this step here. Right? So what you could do is use this prompt that I have on the screen. You know, I'm building a premium faceless Instagram theme page in the blank niche. Uh and then I'm not going to read the rest off here, but it just gives it some uh of the rules that I discussed earlier. You could also kind of tell it to, you know, uh what sort of tone that you're looking for, what else you're looking for. Or you could just continue prompting it and see what it gives you. All right. And if you want access to this prompt, that way you could just simply copy and paste it. Follow me at Poshamoga on Instagram and just DM me the word GPT and I'll send it to you. That way you could just copy and paste it. All right. And then when you use this, keep in mind obviously the first batch that it gives you, maybe those aren't going to be the best. Maybe those are great, but they're not available. So just keep going back and forth with it. Giving it give it some feedback. Maybe show it some of your competitor pages that you like, for example. And I assure you, like I said, you're going to be able to find a good available one in no time. All right. Now, also, just to give you some examples of good usernames and bad usernames. Uh, good ones would look something like this. Natural Circle, Neurog Globe, Female, Evolution. Uh, you know, these are examples from different niches, but you can see they're short, sweet, clean, original, memorable, uh, just solid usernames. And you can see this one here uh got a little creative because you're blending the last uh letter of female into the first letter of evolution, right? [snorts] So that's how you can maybe uh think in creative ways like that to find available options. Okay? And then some bad usernames, ones that you want to stay away from. Don't want yours looking anything like these. Healthy_mind_2.0, discipline.mmaster1, the motivationhub 627. Like you could see all of these, they just don't give off that professional highquality aesthetic or vibe to the page. And we don't want our viewers to have that sort of perception of our page, right? We want to be a high quality professional brand. So that's why you want to avoid like the underscores and the numbers, uh, etc. or keeping it or having it too long like this. So, the last thing that I want to go over regarding usernames is the proper way to check username availability because some people do this in other ways which aren't the most accurate and it could just kind of be frustrating. So, they may check thirdparty platforms to see whether there's a available name or not. Those aren't always accurate. Also, people try just looking up the name on Instagram and if they see it, they think it's not available. Whereas, if they don't see it, they think it is available. But that's not always the case for many other reasons. So, here's the right way to do it, right? Save you some headache. So, just click the name at the top of your profile. Then click add Instagram account. Then click create new account and then type in the username that you ideally want. And if it's red, it means it's not available. It's already taken. Whereas if it's green, that means it is available, right? And then you can just go ahead and create the page from there. So this is the proper way to check it, the most effective way uh rather than the other ways. Okay? So, keep uh you know testing. You're probably going to have to go back and forth a couple times to land on a green check mark here, but as soon as you do and you're happy with the username, go ahead, secure it, and we can move on to the next steps here. All right, which is actually going to be step two of the profile optimization, which is the logo. And some more rules of thumb here. Keep it clean and sleek, simplistic, and minimalistic. Don't over complicate it, right? Super important. I see some people sometimes having super sophisticated and elaborate logos. They think that's what makes it better. That's not the case. You know, the more simplistic the better. Just like a simple, bold, you know, small, simple logo. All right. And just to get you started on this as well, get the wheels turning for you. Uh here are some professional logo formats. So, the most common ones, the ones that you'll probably see when doing your niche research as well. So first is just the simple uh symbol or icon right some examples of this is uh like this for motivation society it's just like a M and a S in like a little icon format and then entrepreneur archived these are just literally letters of the brand uh of the brand right E and A just put next to each other as a little glow effect on a colored background very simple right so this is just a symbol or icon type logo style you could also do the username as text logo style So, some examples of this is like business AI right here where it's literally just the text and then at the end there's like this little background behind the AI and then this one millionaire guide millionaire up top and then guide a little bigger under with a color. It's just as simple as the username. So, that's another proven format. And then lastly, uh you could do both. So, you could have a icon symbol and the username together as the logo, right? All right. So, this is Female Evolution again right here, uh, with like this little icon here with the text written out and then natural circle where it's like the text written out as the username and then another icon or symbol to go along with the brand. All right, so these are three uh reliable proven uh logo formats that you could get some inspiration from. All right. Now, something that's also important to keep in mind is color psychology. So what you could do is reference this little chart here because you know colors subconsciously stimulate different feelings and emotions within people which is kind of interesting. uh like for example blue uh is trust that's why like all the you know financial type of platforms and social medias are blue like stripe is blue PayPal is blue um Facebook is blue LinkedIn is blue you know these are things that you know uh elicit trust and security within the customer right so it's very interesting um I suggest taking a look at this when deciding kind of like your brand colors and what colors to include in your logo for example >> [snorts] >> um just to kind of make sure it all aligns and makes sense uh with the type of page that you're trying to build and the niche that you're going to be in. Okay. Outside of that, in terms of actually creating the logo, you could use Canva. It's a free tool. I'm sure a lot of you guys are already familiar with it. Um and they have templates that you can kind of work off of which are very helpful to create a high quality logo. And also you could use AI, of course, all reliable, right? Uh, and then there's another prompt here that you could use and kind of just adjust it to your liking. Um, I'm going to zoom out here so you could take a screenshot if you'd like. But, you know, AI is very, very, very good actually of creating logos, especially if you prompt it the right way. And it's very time efficient as well, right? That way, we don't have to waste any time. So, this is a good starting point. The same with the username. Maybe it's not perfect straight off off the bat and you have to like, you know, give it some more um context and tips and it'll just give you some more examples and just keep going back and forth until it gives you something that you're perfectly satisfied with. All right. And now I'm also going to go over a quick tutorial showing you uh both of these ways with Canva and Chat GBT. So, let's get into it. All right. What's going on, guys? I'm going to show you how quick and easy it is to cook up a high quality logo with AI in literally just a few minutes. All right, so you can see I've got chat GPT opened. I went ahead and copy and pasted that prompt um into Chat GPT and pressed enter. All I did before is just changed the uh little variables here. So, I wanted it to be in the health and longevity niche. I went with the username longevity lab. I'm pretty sure it's already existing page, but I I just like the name, so I went with it for the example. And then I just changed the the other little variables. You know, I wanted it to be minimal and bold. You know, I wanted to be emerald green color. I think that goes well with the niche. You know, green has to do with growth and health and natural. And um yeah, I just clicked enter and this is what it spit out for me literally on the first try. And out of these three, I like this one on the left the most. I think it's by far the best. Uh longevity has to, you know, a lot to do with DNA uh in most cases. is I mean I'm not an expert, but I thought this DNA strand looked cool. And then um it's got the little arrow there. The font looks nice. You know, it's got the text and the symbol, one of the formats that we discussed earlier. [snorts] And um yeah, I just said I like the one on the left the most. Upload it separately so I could download it and then it um uploaded it here. So I downloaded it. And yeah, I mean obviously it's not going to work out that quickly and easily um each time like literally getting it on the first try. But what you could always do is just go back and forth with the AI, you know, give it more feedback based off what it's giving you, so it could kind of customize it and narrow it down to exactly what you want. And in no time, you'll get exactly what you want, a clean, high quality logo, you know, without any really work or graphic design skills on your end at all, which is really cool. All right. [snorts] And then even if it spits something out that you like, but you know, you want to make some manual custom changes yourself, what you could do is just uh put it into Canva, as you could see I did here. And let's just say, for example, you want to make like a little change such as, you know, the the color, for example. You could go up to color and, you know, maybe change the color, make it something like a little brighter, something that pops up against the the black background a bit easier. And, uh, yeah, you could just kind of play around with it and, you know, see what you like the most. But, >> [snorts] >> um, that's another way you could make it even more custom towards your own liking liking with some manual changes is starting off with, um, AI. Maybe it gives you exactly what you want. Great. or maybe it gives you really close to what you want and then you could just go into Canva, finish off the job. Um, but also if you guys uh want another way to do it outside of just AI and um you know making changes, you could just do it from Canva directly. Um you could just click on you know create a project and then you could just type in like logo for example. Let's just go with that and then um let's see. It's going to give you a blank template here. And let's just go, you know, health. Let's see what uh template it gives us. And then you could just scroll. You could see what options, you know, it gives you a bunch of like little templates here that you could work off of. And it's just a good starting point, right? Because obviously if you don't have graphic design skills, it's hard to have a starting point. But let's just say you like this one. Um you could just click and change all the variables yourself. So let's just say we want to go with long jev video lab. You know maybe this looks a little small. You want to make it bigger. You know something like that. And also maybe the color you don't like this other color. You want to make it something like this. And yeah as simple as that. You could download that or you can, you know, change the background. For example, um, if you go with the black background, you know, maybe you want to make this one a little bit lighter like this. And then boom, you've got another high quality logo in literally just a couple minutes. So, that's another way to do it as well. Uh, maybe you could try both. Uh, come up with like a few different drafts or samples and see which one you like the best from there. Uh but yeah guys, just wanted to demonstrate how easy it is and how quickly you could come up with a highquality logo for your theme page. Um and yeah, that's about it. Give it a try and I wish you best of luck. Okay, so now that you know how to create a high quality logo with AI or Canva very quickly, I just want to quickly go over a couple different good examples of logos and bad examples before we move on. So these are good ones here. Uh these are all just the simple uh icon symbol type logos. just very simplistic, minimalistic, not over complicating it like I mentioned earlier. Uh so these are good examples to get inspiration from. Whereas these ones, not so good, right? So like this one, there's just too much going on. It just doesn't look professional. There's like, you know, uh the letters here and then there's two different icons and then there's a white ring and everything's very big. And this one here, um you know, it's just kind of small, uh text here. and the blue little icon above it. It's just not a bold type icon. It doesn't stand out. You know, if you're looking at this logo from, you know, a small little corner on your screen, which is where most people see your logo, you're not even going to really know what you're looking at. And this one right here just it it just doesn't look good. The symbol is too big. Um, it's got this like little line through the H and it's kind of offcentered with the second circle here. Uh, just not ideal. All right. Also, too much going on. So, here are some good examples to get inspiration from, and these are some bad ones to hopefully try to avoid. All right, now let's move on to the third variable of profile optimization, which is the bio. Now, the bio is a lot more important than most people realize. And if your bio isn't optimized, you're going to be missing out on a lot of followers that you could have had otherwise if it was optimized. All right, [snorts] so here's how to optimize it. So, you want to make sure it's clear and concise. So, you don't want there to be anything that's unnecessary in there or like fluff or filler. Eliminate all of that. You want to make sure it's specific and targeted, so not generic. Uh, typically three lines long. Uh, include emojis or icons, typically at the beginning of each line. I'll show you what that looks like in a second. Also, you could use a line or a little dot here to separate each line. And also, make sure that each word begins with a capital letter. All right. Again, you know, it's not the end of the world if you don't follow all these guidelines here. uh like for example a capital letter one or whether you use this or this. But you definitely regardless want to make sure it is clear and concise, specific and targeted and typically three lines, especially if you're starting from scratch. Okay? [snorts] And of course, we've got another AI prompt that you guys can use here. Uh I'm not going to read it again, but uh I'm going to zoom out so you can take a screenshot if you'd like. That way you could use it for yourself. And of course, as always, just customize it towards your niche and to your preference. and maybe it doesn't spit out the most perfect bio uh right off the bat. Maybe it just sounds uh generic and robotic. So, just keep going back and forth the AI or at least let it give you the structure and then you could build off of it after. It'll just make this a lot more efficient. Okay. And here are some mistakes that you should avoid. Some big mistakes that I see a lot of people have with their bios. The first mistake that I see people make is their bio is too vague and ambiguous or just generic where there's nothing unique about it and there's nothing about the bio which is distinguishing your page compared to like other pages in your niche, right? You don't want to just be put into the category of all these other pages because your bio is just super general and doesn't make your page stand out or you're not providing any unique value, right? And it's hard to do that if you're staying very vague and generic and surface level, right? But at the same time, you also want to make sure it's not too specific or too targeted to where you're casting it too small of a net. But you also want don't want to cast too wide of a net to where people click on it and they feel like the page is not even geared towards them. So you want to find that happy medium in between. Okay. Also, a mistake I see people make is they have too much fluff or clutter in their bio. You know, every word in your bio should be intentional. You know, there shouldn't be any fluff or unnecessary words in there. Uh, it should be as clear and concise as possible. So, make sure of that. And then also, a mistake I see is the lack of a strong CTA, which is a call to action. So, people aren't telling their followers what to do in that third line. I suggest if you're starting a page out from scratch, your third line should be a follow CTA where it says like follow for XYZ benefit, right? Or join for or you know become a part of and then having like an arrow for example pointing down to the follow button. Even something as simple as a simple CTA like one of the ones that I just mentioned increases follower conversion a decent amount. It's not going to be a huge amount, but a decent amount because it's just a subconscious kind of cue or reminder to the viewer of your page to actually take an action, right? To actually follow the page. Whereas, if you didn't have it, they're a lot less likely to actually go ahead and take the action of following, which is what we want as a theme page owner, right? So, make sure you have a strong uh CTA in your bio. At the beginning, it should be a follow CTA, and then later down the line, you can make it a CTA for something else, right? All right, like DM me the word XYZ or uh look in the bio for XYZ. You you know what I mean? But at the beginning, follow CTA. Now, before we move on, I want to go over some good bio examples and some bad ones. So, here's one for Kingdom Enlighten. This is in the God, Faith, Christianity niche. So, this one says, "Christian content to help strengthen your faith. Grow in truth and hope through God's word." And then the CTA is get your free 30-day prayer guide. because he's bigger. But if he was starting out, I would suggest having it be like a follow CTA, like follow for XYZ. But these two first lines are very very strong. You know, this first line here gives a very good idea as to what the page is actually about, what the viewer could expect by following the page. And then this is kind of like a benefit that's associated with that, right? So this is like the first line, what they can expect, you know, who the page is for, and then two, like what you actually gain or benefit by following the page. And here's another one, women's motive. This is like sort of the women's mindset, motivation, empowerment niche. This says for women rising into their power. So, it directly kind of calls out and targets the exact type of year that she's looking for. Uh, so they feel called out and they feel like they're in the right place. Uh, standards, boundaries, self-worth. So, this is just some of the uh topics of some of her best performing content. And she has an arrow that says follow for daily feminine power talks, right? So, doesn't have to be anything sophisticated or complex, just a very simple CTA that motivates the viewer to actually go ahead and take an action and follow. All right, so those are good examples. And here are some bad ones. Uh, this page, motivation speech says, "Mastering mindset for success, helping you become the best version of yourself. Join the journey." And they have like their email at the bottom here. Uh, just not good. Uh, very general, very uh, surface level. You know, this is just a bunch of uh cliche things to say like helping you become the best version of yourself. Join the journey like the journey of what, you know what I mean? And the best version of yourself for what? It's just very vague and uh not specific enough. It doesn't really make anyone feel targeted when they click on the page as opposed to these for example. Then this one here, spreading motivation through mindset here to inspire, empower, and leave a legacy that lasts. Let's rise together. So this one, it just isn't even structured properly. You can see these ones here at least are on different lines. they have three lines or this one has four but this one is just like one sort of like paragraph format type of you know multiple sentences with no real no real structure. So that's number one. And uh again very general spreading motivation through mindset like that doesn't make this page stand out or distinguish itself compared to other pages in the niche that have like similar bios. Right? So these are bad examples. Here are good examples. Now let's move on to the last variable for profile optimization which is the SEO name. And just for clarity SEO stands for search engine optimization. And it's the line that is right here where it's under the username and next to the logo. It's typically three keywords. Um, if you pay attention to your niche research, maybe you've already seen this pattern. But really, the whole purpose technically of this name right here is for ranking. So, that's all what SEO is. It's just a ranking system. So when someone goes onto Instagram, goes into the search bar and types in like discipline or mindset for example, pages that have those keywords in this SEO name section will populate and rank on that person's uh screen after they type in those keywords and press search. So that's the technical reason for it. Aside from that, the other main purposes is that it kind of just gives some more context about what the page is about and like what the main themes of it are. So this is like a motivation page and here it just kind of clarifies that discipline, mindset, motivation and then you have the bio kind of on top of that to give more clarity and also this is probably the least important of the four uh profile optimization variables that we've gone over because most of the followers that you're going to gain and the biggest way people find your page is through the reals feed anyways, right? Like from your content rather than people typing in search terms, right? Right? So, it could bring in some extra followers and give your viewers an idea of what they can expect about what your page is about and like what they'll see when following, but it's really not that important. And but at the same time, you don't want to get it wrong. You want to get it right. So, here are the uh main SEO name formats that you could get inspiration from. The first one is what I had suggested earlier or what I mentioned, which is the three keywords. So, this one's like a motivation page. So, their keywords are inspiration, mindset, success. This is like a neuroscience page. So it says neuroscience, brain health, psychology. And just again for context, if someone were to type in brain health or psychology or neuroscience in their search bar, you know, maybe this page might pop up towards the top, for example. All right. Next up is the username plus one to two keywords format. So this is where you literally kind of copy over your username first and then follow it by two more keywords or one or two more that relate to your niche. So like this one here or this one where it says mindset bible and then there's a line. It says motivation. Uh so this is another format. And then the third one is literally just the username. So you can see this page 11 stoic. The SEO name just says 11 stoic and has like this little trademark copy and paste simple symbol. And then this one entrepreneur archive literally just has the name entrepreneur archived here. So if you're starting out from scratch, I suggest uh one of these two here formats. Whereas typically you'll see more established pages uh have this in their SEO name. uh if not one of these two, but usually only established pages have only their username. It doesn't make sense for a new page to have only their username. All right, so [snorts] those are the three formats that you get inspiration from. Also, uh you could reference your niche research, see what other successful established pages in your niche are doing. And keep in mind, you could only change this once every 14 days. So if you change it to something, you have to like wait for 14 days before you can make any adjustments. So, make sure you get it right like when you change it at the beginning. Uh, make sure there's no spelling mistakes and also I would suggest having a capital letter at the start of each word, right? No lowercase. So, that is everything you need to know regarding all four profile optimizations variables to essentially, as I mentioned, convert as many viewers onto your page to followers as possible. Okay, so now that we've gone over that, let's go over how to properly warm up your page. So, at this point, you've picked your niche, you've done the research, you've created your page, branded it, optimized the different variables of your profile, and now it's important to make sure that you actually warm up the page properly and that you send positive signals and green flags to Instagram and the algorithm to get you prepared for the next steps. Some people mess up in this stage and they do certain things which make Instagram kind of detect the page as maybe a bot or suspicious activity. And these are not things that you want to have happen to you in this stage, right? To get yourself ready for the next steps. So, I'm just going to go over the key points just so you know what to be aware of and kind of what to do in this stage once you actually create the page and how to warm it up properly. So, first and foremost, just act like a human and engage like a regular user. All right? Avoid any spammy, suspicious user activity, right? So, don't just go in, create the page, and start like changing everything right away and liking a bunch of content and saving a bunch of stuff and commenting on every post you see and copy and pasting stuff. This should be common sense. Just don't do that because Instagram might detect your page as like some sort of bot or spam activity and we don't want that, right? We don't want that. And also when it comes to warming up your page, essentially aim to curate and train your algorithm to only show you content within your niche, right? So when you create a fresh new page and you go and check the reals feed or the explore feed, it's just going to be a bunch of random like brain rock content, right? So you kind of want to over time, this isn't going to happen right away, but over time kind of start consuming content and trying to find content that is as close to your niche as possible. Obviously, you're not going to find exactly what you're looking for towards the beginning, but let's just say you're in the fitness niche. Just keep scrolling and as soon as you see anything fitness related, just like the video, maybe save it. Put your phone down and kind of let let your phone watch it like a few times over so that Instagram sees that you like that type of content. And maybe click interested on it and keep scrolling. Next time maybe you see another fitness video, which it might take a little bit of time at the beginning, do the same thing. And what's going to happen over time is Instagram is going to get a better idea of like what your preferences are and what type of content you engage with, what type of content you want to see, and it will begin populating that type of content on your feed, right? So again, this is a process that doesn't happen overnight. Typically takes like a few days to a week to really get this down. But uh this serves two main purposes. So, one, it gives Instagram a better idea obviously of your interests and what you like and what your preferences are. That way, when you begin posting, Instagram already kind of knows what you're interested in and will most likely share content, share your content to a group of people who have similar interests as you, right? That way, you could potentially get some initial traction or engagement off the bat once you make your first posts, right? So, that's kind of one of the main purposes here. The second major purpose is it's going to make research a whole lot easier for content. We're going to go over this into a lot more depth later down the line, but once you populate and curate your algorithm to only show you content and successful viral pages in your niche, it just becomes very easy to dive deeper into the niche research, understand which pages are doing well, what content is doing well, and allows you to kind of see that every time you open your phone, like kind of on autopilot. That way you don't have to go out of your way each time and like struggle to find these things. Okay, so those are the two main purposes to create and train your algorithm. And then also just make sure to wait one to two days before posting. Uh you don't want to create your page, change everything, and then start posting within like a couple hours. Not smart. Um you know, that's just kind of [snorts] unusual new account behavior from Instagram's perspective. So, just log in, um, engage like a regular user, try and curate your feed to show you more content within your niche, and then just wait a couple days before you actually officially begin posting. Okay, so again, this these things might be common sense to some of you, but also I see some people make mistakes and send red flags and bad signals to the Instagram and the algorithm right at the beginning. So, you want to avoid that. Just make sure that you follow these steps here and you'll be good to go. Okay. And then the last thing here is to optimize your settings. At this point, we've gone over how to optimize your profile. That way, you could convert as many viewers to followers as possible. But now, it's time to optimize the settings because there's a few different little toggles and configurations that you want to make sure are done the right way from the beginning. Just make sure everything's set up as like a proper theme page before we move on to the next steps. All right. So, the first thing here is to switch to a creator account. All right. because when you create a new page on Instagram, most likely it's going to be as a personal account. So, you have to actually go and change it to a uh creator account yourself. And here's exactly how to do it. So, first, click on the three lines at the top of your profile, the little hamburger icon here. Then, click account type and tools. Then, click account type. And then you'll see this blue text right here. Click professional account. And then you'll see this little popup. Click next. Then click switch to professional account. It's also going to ask you to choose one of these little categories here. It really doesn't matter what you choose because you could make sure it's not displayed on your profile anyways. All right. So, click uh switch to professional account. Then click creator account. All right. Not business account, but creator account. This is what you're going to want uh as a theme page. Okay. So, that is how you switch from a personal to creator account. Very simple. Just follow this process. Now, you also going are going to want to make sure that you're uploading content at the highest possible quality onto Instagram. Again, this is very simple. Just click on the three lines at the top of the profile, then find media quality, then just make sure that this is toggled on. Upload at highest quality. Just make sure it's toggled on. Okay? That way, when you're actually beginning to post content, it's uploading at like the highest resolution possible for Instagram. All right. And the last step here is to turn on two-actor authentification. Okay. just to make sure that your account is secure, it's protected, and that even if somehow someone got access to your login details, they can't actually compromise your account because you have this two factor au authentification on, right? It's just good practice uh as a professional uh creator on Instagram. So, you're going to want to click the three lines at the top of the profile again, find accounts center, then click two-factor authentication, and then choose your preferred method. Uh my preferred method is just an authentification app. So, I have an app where when I'm trying to log into my account, it just asks me for like a six-digit code. So, then I go into my app, I see the six-digit code, I copy and paste it into my account, and then Instagram lets me through and to access my account, right? So, that's just again important just to make sure your account's secured and nobody could compromise it. So yeah, that is everything that you guys are going to need to know regarding all the foundational steps for building your profitable Instagram theme page business from scratch. Now, we're going to move on to the next module, which is going to be a lot more exciting and more geared towards growth and content. So yeah, I will see you guys there. All right, now welcome to module four. This is going to be a big one. So, by now we've gone over everything that you need to know regarding how to set a solid foundation for your faceless Instagram theme page business. From how to pick the right niche to how to do the research for it to creating your page, how to actually brand it and optimize your profile the right way to warming up your page to optimizing the settings. But now, it's time to learn how to actually grow and go viral with content on your page. Right? This is the stuff that's going to actually bring in the views, the followers, allow you to build an online audience and get in front of that attention, right? So, super super important. And before we dive into like how what type of content to create, how to actually create it the most effective way, it's really important to understand the algorithm, right? The principles behind how the algorithm actually works and how you can use it to your advantage rather than have it work against you, for example, right? So, that's what we're going to start off with. how to master the algorithm and more specifically first how the algorithm actually works in the first place. Okay, so just to define the algorithm because you probably hear people throwing out the word algorithm, you know, algorithm this, algorithm that, but you know, it's important to understand how it's even defined in the first place before we move forward. All right, so the algorithm is essentially a personalized system that ranks content based on predicted engagement, right? So, it's a system that Instagram uses and it uses machine learning and a AI to properly rank content on different people's feeds based off of how likely they think that person is to engage with it. Okay, so that's essentially the definition of the algorithm and its main objective is to keep people on the platform for as long as humanly possible. Right? Put simply, that is its main objective. And the reason for that is because Instagram as well as other social platforms, the most popular ones like YouTube, Tik Tok, Facebook, even other ones that I haven't listed here, they're all adbased revenue models. And essentially what this means is they make most of their money, most of their profits from companies, businesses, creators paying them money to advertise on their platform, right? So because of this, the more time someone spends on their platform, the more ads they see and the more ads they see, the more money Instagram or Meta makes, right? And because of this logic train here, their goal, their objective is to keep people on the platform for as long as possible, right? Because that means they'll they're able to make the most money as humanly possible. And that's the goal of Meta and every other social company and really any company out there, right? But just how Instagram and these social platforms achieve this is by keeping people on their platform so that they can see more ads so they can make more money. Okay? So just want to clear that up. That is the main objective of the algorithm and everything that will be going on moving forward from here. I want you to keep that in the back of your mind. Okay. So it's also important to understand that there isn't just like one Instagram algorithm. Okay. A lot of people think of the algorithm they just think it's just like one main thing. That's not necessarily the case. There's actually four main ranking system that Instagram uses when ranking content on different people's feeds, right? So, they all serve the main objective of keeping people on their platform for as long as possible, but they just do it in subtly different ways, right? So, these four main ranking systems are the reals feed, the home feed, stories, and the explore feed. Right? These are the four main ranking systems. And today we're going to be diving deep specifically into how the reals feed works because this is by far the most important. It's going to be the most responsible for getting your page out there, for getting views, followers, actually building an audience. So that's why we're going to dive into it in depth today. Although at the same time, if you do want access to more of a full comprehensive breakdown on how all of these work together, uh, just follow me again on Instagram, Poshmogga, and DM me the word algorithm, and I'll send you a free helpful resource that breaks all of this down more succinctly. All right, but now let's just dive straight into how the reals ranking system works. Okay, this is super important. So, once you upload a reel, there is a few main things that happen, and I want to break down exactly what happens and in what sequence. that way you could fully understand. All right, so the first thing that happens is that Instagram shows that piece of content to a small test audience, a small group of people. This is no fixed amount because it depends on a couple variables like how big your page is, how long you've been posting for, etc. But what's more more important is that it's shown to some followers, but mostly non-followers. And this split is around 20% followers and 80% non-followers. All right, so Instagram shows it to the small test audience. And then what Instagram does is it measures the engagement of how that test audience engages with the piece of content that you posted, right? The reel. And what it looks at specifically when measuring the engagement is a few different tiers of metrics, right? Tier one, which are the most important, is watch time. As we discussed earlier, it's the most important, keeping people on the platform. Completion rate, so people that actually the percentage of people that finish the reel watch it all the way through. uh replays, so whether someone replays the reel, shares it to someone else. And then tier two metrics, which are still important, just not as important, is whether someone saves the reel, someone comments on the reel, uh follows your page after seeing it, visits your profile after seeing it, and then tier three, important, but the least out of all of these here are likes, believe it or not, and shares to story, whether someone shares it to their story. All right. So, these are essentially all of the different actions someone can take when viewing your reel. Okay. So, what happens is when Instagram shows it to the small test audience, they're going to measure how this group of people engages with the reel that you posted. Okay? And then what happens after that is the machine learning, the AI algorithm is going to score that piece of content. All right? The system's going to calculate a predicted engagement score, right? So, it's going to score essentially how likely they believe other people would react and engage with this content if it was shown to them, right? And essentially, you could get a good score, which is great. That's what we want because that means Instagram is going to expand your reach reach. It's going to push it out to more people, distribute it to more people. Or it's going to get a bad score, right? Where the reach becomes limited. So, Instagram will see how people are engaging with it. Long story short, if people engage with it, well, they see that people are liking it. They're, you know, triggering these different metrics we discuss, uh, it's going to rank at a good score and get more reach, push it out to more people. Whereas, on the other hand, if it gets a bad score, then it's going to limit it and not get pushed out to as many people. Okay? Now, what happens if you get a good score? Essentially, it's just going to repeat the process, except the only difference this time is it's going to be a larger test audience. Again, no fixed amount of people, some followers, mostly non-followers. And the second time around, it's going to be mostly uh even more non-followers than before from this small test audience. All right? Or this larger test audience. And then again, it's going to measure the engagement, see how people react and engage with the piece of content, this new audience, and then from there, it's going to score it. And if you get a good score, it's going to expand your reach. It's going to push it out even further. And if it gets a bad score, it's going to limit it and not get pushed out anymore. All right? And then again, if it gets a good score, it's literally just going to keep repeating this process over and over and over again. Uh, and that's how you see people get viral reels. It sort of compounds, right? It just keeps on the algorithm keeps on pushing your content to more and more people as long as they see that the people they're showing it to are engaging with it and are actually watching it and are sharing it, etc. Right? And then as soon as it sees the score start to fall down and not go as high, then it's going to limit your reach. Okay? So that's essentially the sequence of events of what happens when you post a real. Okay? Now, the whole idea here is that every reel must earn the next batch of views, right? Because Instagram is going to give your content a chance. it's going to show it to a group of people and you essentially need to prove to the algorithm that you are deserving of being shown to uh the next bigger group of people, right? So, you kind of need to earn it, right? You're not going to get any handouts. They're not just going to like push it out just because they want to give you a try occasionally, but you need to earn each next batch of views. Okay? And how you do this is by obviously triggering the engagement metrics because the amount of reach you get, the amount of push that you get from your content depends on the score that the algorithm gives it. But the score that the algorithm gives the piece of content depends on how people engage with it. Right? So with that logic train, the more engagement you get, the more Instagram is going to push your content, right? And with that being said, the question is how like how do we trigger these engagement metrics effectively? That way, Instagram is incentivized to continue pushing out our content, right? And that's where we get to step two of mastering the algorithm, which is how to use it to your advantage because now you understand how it works, but now we can go over how specifically to use it to your advantage. That way, it works for you rather than against you. Okay? And how we do this is by what I call utilizing the virality formula. All right? And the core principle of this formula is that every piece of content that you make and upload should be designed to trigger these metrics. All right, these are the tier one metrics that I was going over earlier. Watch time, completion rate, replays, and shares. These are the most important. If you could trigger these ones, really nothing else matters. If you could prove to the algorithm that you keep people on their platform, that people are actually completing and watching the reel that you upload fully, that people are even replaying it, and that people are sharing it to others, which means you're bringing other people onto the platform, Instagram is going to love you for that, and they're going to continue pushing out your content even more. Okay, now let's dive a bit deeper and get into more detail on how we could actually trigger these different specific metrics. Now, the first and most important thing that your content should do is hook the viewer to grab their attention. Your content should serve as a pattern interrupt. All right, this is so so important to understand as a concept because when someone is scrolling on Instagram, they're in a zombie-like scroll state. Think about it. You know, if someone's scrolling, you know, they're not really thinking. It's mindless. It's autopilot. So, the first 1 to 3 seconds of them coming upon a reel is the most important because that's going to determine whether they just quickly swipe and go to the next reel or whether they continue watching. And if you could grab them within the first 1 to 3 seconds, they're a whole lot more likely to continue watching and potentially even finishing the reel. And what that's going to do is trigger the watchtime metric. And that's what we want, right? So, the whole objective here is to stop the scroll instantly. So, so important, right? the most important metric right here. And how we execute this depends on a couple things. One, it depends on our niche, right? So, it's important to understand that pages in different niches post different types of content that work best within that niche, right? So the type of content that works best in like the fitness niche might look different than the type of content that works best in the health niche or in the entrepreneurship/ business niche. So because of that, how you actually execute on this step here with grabbing their attention is going to depend on the content style that is best for your niche that you end up going with. And obviously we haven't got there yet. We're going to dive deeper into that later down the line, how to actually like find the right content style and go about that. So, I actually suggest circling back to this step once you do get clarity on your content style because you'll look at this from a different perspective. But I just wanted to uh point that out as sort of like a um precursor before we dive into this just so you're aware. All right. But for example, different ways on how you could execute hooking in your viewer, grabbing their attention and doing a pattern interrupt is a text hook, a subtitle hook, any sort of visual movement, uh some sort of sound effect starting the clip midaction. And these are just some examples here. And you might see these and be confused, but I want to show you like a more uh practical example so I could point out exactly, you know, what is being executed here. Okay? And then keep in mind the content style that you're going to be going with in your niche and with your page might not look like this. So just pay attention to how we're executing it in this style and then take those ideas and concepts and principles and apply it to whichever content style that is going to be best for your niche. Okay? So, let's take a quick watch at this together. >> Good morning. >> Good morning, sir. [music] Good morning. >> All right, so we're 7 seconds in and I'm going to kind of I'm going to break down um what exactly happened here which hooked the viewer, right? And for context, this reel here got 8.2 million views. So, there's clearly something that worked. So, first is this text hook at the top here. Can you give a better surprise than this to your child? Right? So if someone scrolls and they see that, it's like, can you give a better surprise than what to your child? Like it kind of creates an open loop like a cur curiosity loop. So someone has to continue watching to kind of like satisfy that curiosity like what what is it that this person gave to their child which was so like intriguing, right? Also, keep in mind this is a very like uh interesting way that the clip starts off. It's like a man. He's walking up to this lady. >> Good morning. >> Good morning, sir. Good morning. [music] >> He's walking up to this lady at a desk. It looks like in an airport showing him the pass or showing her the passport. And this is sort of like what I mean by this right here. It's starting mid-action. It's like in the middle of a scene already. Um, so people scroll into that and they kind of are thinking to themselves like what's actually going on here? And they have this text hook at the top as well. So a lot of these work in harmony with each other. Another thing that I want to point out is pay attention to how many times the frame or the angle of the video changed in the first like 5 seconds. Look. One. >> Good morning, sir. Good [music] morning. >> Two. 3 4 5. >> There you are. >> Six. So, in 9 seconds, the angle changes six times. So, this is another way to hook in the viewer because when there's more quick changes, it kind of just gives more dopamine. it's easier to follow along with uh at the same time here. Obviously, this depends on the clip that you're working with. Sometimes you're going to grab a clip that doesn't change that many times. But, uh these are just a few examples, right? These are a few examples of variables that captured the attention of the audience and made them want to stay longer and figure out really what's going on here and satisfy that curiosity. Right now, let's go over another example right here. This one got 1.6 million views. It always takes me back to that quote [music] of Marcus Aurelius who had a slave that would sit behind him and always whisper to him, "Hey, >> you're just a man. >> You're just a man. >> You're just a man." >> Right. So, let's replay this and I'll point out exactly what was executed the right way here. >> It always takes me back to that quote. >> So, very good opener to begin with in a couple different ways. One, what he says, it always takes me back to that quote. So this is again creating like a curiosity loop. It's a open loop. You know what quote right? And it makes you kind of want to hear the quote and then he starts saying it >> of Marcus Aurelius who had >> Marcus Aurelius. This is a well-known authoritative person that a lot of people know. So that hooks them in even more. They want to hear what he has to say. >> The slave. >> And then here slave. It's a trigger word. Like people hear the word slave and it's kind of like a polarizing word. So it makes them want to continue watching to hear what that's all about. And also before we continue on, pay attention to how the reel started off. It always takes me back to that. >> So you could hear like a little sound effect at the beginning and also there's a visual effect where the uh clip opened up like this, right? >> It always takes me back to that quote. >> So the combination of it opening up like that, the sound effect, and then also the guy saying it always takes me back to that quote. Like all of these work in harmony to grab the attention of the viewer and pull them out of that zombie-l like scroll state that they're in. All right, so this is what I mean by specific ways this can be executed, right? So obviously again to re-emphasize the content that you're going to be going with may look so much similar to this. It may not look similar to this, but uh you're just going to want to pay attention to how you can execute uh different variables of the content to hold the viewer uh attention of the viewer. Okay. Um so yeah, let's move on to the next variable right here, which is going to be triggering the completion rate. Okay. And to do this, we want to retain the viewer and their attention by having the video have quick pacing ideally, right? So first you grab their attention right in the first 1 to 3 seconds and then you want to retain their attention as well. Okay. So the whole objective here simply retain the viewers's attention. Try to keep them on the video as long as possible. Ideally have them finish it. Okay. Again how you execute this is going to be dependent but for example could be dynamic subtitles, snappy editing, so like very quick um maybe some B-roll or like some video overlays in the background. You know minimal pauses, minimal gaps. you know, if there's someone speaking, you know, you don't want there to be like a 3se secondond gap um right at the beginning when he's speaking. You know, it's just going to uh tempt people to want to scroll away if they're not getting that immediate dopamine. Uh storytelling, that way kind of people are hooked into whatever story is being told and they want to hear how it finishes. if you could build tension within the reel um and kind of like suspense to make someone want to kind of figure out what's going to happen. These are all different ways that you could execute retaining the viewer. Okay, so again, here's another example. This is from one of my pages. Got 7.6 million views here. So, let's take a watch. When my oldest brother died, my my other two brothers [music] pulled me to the side. Never forget this. I'm walking into the hospital. The doctor tell my mom, "He's heart's still pumping. He's brain dead. What you want to do?" She said, "Pull the plug." It's done. Like these false. I remember running around all my family's crying and I go. >> So, real quick, just pay attention to the subtitles, how they're kind of bouncy and they're popping up as he's speaking. That's just another way to kind of retain the attention of the viewer. Whereas, if it was just in one block, um, it still could be um, effective with retaining the attention, but not as effective as what we're seeing right here. >> I touch my brother. He laying in the bed. Look like he's sleep. [music] I touch his feet. cold. Walk out the room, I'm crying. >> Also, you can see the way this video is edited, it's uh it cuts out all the pauses. Like, if you were to watch this raw clip, there would be pauses obviously as he's telling the story, etc. But it's very quick quickly paced, right? So, it holds the viewer's attention very well. And then also, he's telling a story, right? And obviously, and unfortunately, it's like graphic has to do with his brother, him being in the hospital, and it's emotional. You know, he's crying at some point. So this, you know, makes the viewer feel the emotion as well and kind of become engaged with the story. And it's very uncomfortable as a viewer to like scroll off in the middle of a story, right? You kind of want to, you know, naturally instinctively hear how it ends and what happens, right? So again, these are just some examples of how this specific reel retained attention. Okay? Now, let's move on to the next variable here, which is going to be doing the loop. This is replay engineering. And what this is going to trigger is replays. The objective is to force the viewer to rewatch, right? Because getting watch time and having someone watch your reel fully is one thing. But if you could get the viewer to replay it and to watch it again, that doesn't just count for like one full watch time of that video. It actually continues adding more watch time to it, right? So someone could watch the same video like three times and that's the equivalent of of like three other people just watching it once, right? So if we could get people to not only watch it fully, but replay it, then again, um that contributes to the watch time, keeps people on the platform more, and we're going to get pushed further. Okay? I'm going to emphasize this again. How you execute this depends on your niche, but you could have a seamless ending to beginning transition, which I'll show you in a second here. a circular story structure or maybe a ending that's like sort of a a wait what ending where it's maybe unexpected, catches people by surprise, makes them want to like rewatch and watch it again just to get some clarity. Um, so here's an example of that. This one got 3.7 million views. >> I just want to make a lot of money and tell people money is not everything for for this life. >> First you want to make a lot of money though, right? [music] >> That's crazy. I just want to make a lot of >> So pay attention to what happened here. So first off, the video faded in from black. So it goes from black and then it fades into the video. >> I just want to make a lot of money and >> right and then if we go towards the end. >> That's crazy. >> It fades out and then what Instagram does is they automatically replay it once it finishes. So it's a very seamless viewer experience. >> That's crazy. [music] I just want to make a lot of >> That's what it would look like if someone was just scrolling and watch the video. It fades back out and then fades back in again. >> Money >> and then he says, I just want to make a lot of money. So, it's a it's a very seamless transition from the end of the video back to the beginning. That way, someone could watch it like a few times in a row and it doesn't feel choppy. It doesn't feel like it drops off out of nowhere unexpectedly. Uh it's just a very smooth viewer experience, right? So that's just an example of how you could execute the replay variable here. All right. Now, let's go over the last variable, which is spread. This is share psychology. This is the fourth step. And the whole point here is to trigger shares. And the objective is to incentivize the viewer to share the reel, right? Because, as I mentioned earlier, it's one thing to hold people onto the platform and to have them watch the video or maybe watch it a couple times. It's a whole different beast if we could get someone to share our video to someone else because then what's happening is someone else is going to see that someone shared a video with them. They're going to open Instagram, watch the video. And what do most people do when they do that, right? They don't just watch the video and then click out and go to whatever they were doing. You know, Instagram is designed in a way where some when someone opens the app, they're probably going to stay on the app for a little bit because it's, you know, it's very uh dopamine inducing. It's very uh it holds your attention, the app, right? So essentially what I'm trying to say is if you could bring if you could prove to Instagram that you could also bring people onto their platform now you know Instagram is going to make more money cuz the person that you brought onto the platform or the dozens or thousands of people that you bring onto the platform from your video are going to also spend more time on the platform making Instagram more money right so that's why it's so important that your content is sharable okay in terms of how you could execute this again depends on the niche depends on the content style but you could have a relatable element um in the content and identity element like X understands this. So you know maybe if you're in the business or entrepreneurship entrepreneurship niche, you could post a real about that and you know maybe um the person is thinking in their mind, yeah, you know, this is very niche for entrepreneurs and business people like they could relate to that. They understand that and they could send it to maybe their entrepreneur friend for example. It's maybe something that's useful information, maybe a fun fact or a polarizing element, something that is maybe controversial, makes someone want to share it with their friend or into a group chat or something. So, here are just some different examples of how you could execute this. Now, let's take a look at a tangible one. This was uh 1.3 million views. Marijuana was the second worst thing to accelerate aging. The worst thing was having schizophrenia, but the second worst thing, it surprised me, quite [music] frankly, it was worse than alcohol. It dulls, slows down nerve cell firing. So if you have a business, so to break down kind of what's going on here, this guy is like clearly some sort of like uh expert or professional and like the medical field and he's kind of like educating the listener on something about marijuana. And because of this, it's it kind of serves as like a fun fact and something that's educational, something that maybe people would want to share with like a friend or like this is the type of reel that like your mom would send you for example. So, um, that's an example of how this is executed, right? So, now just to summarize everything we've gone over and to put it all together, here is the virality formula, the four steps. All right. One, hook the viewer. Grab their attention. Stop their scroll in the first one to three seconds out of their zombie-like scroll state. Two, once you have their attention, retain it, right? Keep them engaged. Keep supplying them with dopamine so that they could watch as much as possible or even stay to the end. Three, ideally have them looped back into watching the video again. That way, you're getting more watch time. And four, having your content be sharable. That way, people share your content, bring other people onto the platform, leading to more watch time for Instagram and to more money. If you implement all of these things, Instagram will love you for that and will reward you for that by pushing out your content more and more, right? And that's what we want. That's how we're going to get more views, more followers, build a larger audience a lot more quickly. Okay, so that is the virality formula, right? And here's something else that I believe is really important that I want you to pay attention to when it comes to learning. Every time you see a viral piece of content, pay close attention to these details. Right? These are the exact triggers successful pages use to manipulate the algorithm in their favor. If you see other pages or content on Instagram going viral, getting lots of views, there's something they're doing right there. And there's something about their content which is triggering the algorithm to push it further. Right? So pay attention to these specific variables that we've just gone over right now. When you see a specific reel, sit there and ask yourself what made people stop scrolling, right? What grabbed their attention? What emotion did it trigger in the viewer? What, you know, why did people watch the video to the end? What made people share the video or comment on it? What are they commenting? How can I repeat this in my own unique way, you know, for my niche or for my page? And what's going to happen, the more you do this, the better you're going to be able to recognize patterns, all right, of what's actually working. You know, this is one of the most important skills that an Instagram creator can have, pattern recognition. And this is also something that you're going to get a lot better at over time, right? Because if you can recognize the patterns of other viral, high performing content on Instagram, of other pages in your niche, and you could see exactly what they're doing and how they're manipulating the algorithm to their favor to go viral, and you're starting to notice patterns there and things that you could repeat yourself, that's when things start to become a whole lot easier. All right? So, the more often you sit there and you ask yourself questions as soon as you see a viral video, the better you're going to get at this. All right? And now since you have a much better understanding of the algorithm, how it works, how we could actually use it to our advantage to go viral, it's time to go over content. How it works, how we could create it, etc. Let's dive into it. Now, first and foremost, let me emphasize this. Content is king. All right, content is king. What I mean by this is the content that you post is by far the most important factor for growing on Instagram. Every other factor is irrelevant if your content is poor quality. For example, sometimes I have people reach out and ask me like, "Hey, Posasha, like, you know, my my reels aren't performing well, right? You know, is it because I'm posting at the wrong time? Should I post at this time instead?" Or, "Hey, I'm using these hashtags. Like, what are your thoughts? Should I use different hashtags?" Or, you know, "Hey, I'm scheduling my reels, not posting them manually. Is that my why my uh page isn't doing well?" And then I look at their content and it's not good quality. It's trash. Like, no one would watch these videos. And here's the thing, it's not that those other variables don't matter, right? Like, sure, having the right hashtags, posting at the times where your audience is most active, and fun fact, scheduling versus posting doesn't make any difference. You know, those things can help, but it's not going to be the make or break, right? It's not going to be that determining factor that determines whether your content goes viral and does really well or if it doesn't, like just because you didn't use the right hashtags, for example. What does matter, what is the make or break? What is the determining factor is whether your content is good quality or not, whether someone would actually watch it. Okay? So, that's the most important thing. Don't look and listen to all these little quick fixes that maybe other like people on YouTube are talking about. Oh, this like viral hashtag strategy is going to make you blow up. That's not the case, right? Those are quick fixes and it doesn't address the root of growth, which is the content. Okay? So, I just wanted to clear that up off the bat. Now, let's continue on. Okay? There's a real simple growth formula. Okay? It's very simple. A good niche plus high quality content plus consistency equals growth. It's that simple, right? Picking a good niche that has proof of concept, that has demand, posting highquality content that relates to that niche, to those viewers, to that audience consistently over a long enough period of time, right? Staying consistent every day leads to growth. There's nothing else to it than that. It's that simple, right? Obviously, we could dive more into how to make the content high quality, right? Yet, this is all it comes down to, right? There's no other like external uncontrollable variables there, okay? It's just simple. Don't over complicate it. I see so many people over complicating it and making it a lot more complex than it needs to be. It really just comes down to this. All right? If these are solid and rooted, you will grow, right? And you'll grow really well. Now, with that being said, let's dive into more context about specific content strategy, right? What that looks like and how to think about it, right? And the main thing here is to not reinvent the wheel. Okay? Do not reinvent the wheel. What I mean by this is you don't need to come up with your own innovative strategy that's groundbreaking that no one's ever seen before when it comes to growing a successful Instagram theme page. You don't need to do that, right? because that means you're coming into it blindly, especially if you're not very experienced with this and you'd come into it blindly blindly and you're doing stuff that you don't even know will work or not. You're just shooting in the dark. Instead, what you should do is not blindly copy people either. You shouldn't just like see someone else that's performing well and do everything the exact same. What you should do is simply remodel existing viral content, which has already been proven to work, but do it with your own branding/ unique twist. Okay, this is super super important to understand. Do not reinvent the wheel. All right, you don't need to do it completely from scratch, brand new. No one's ever seen it before. Don't blindly copy others. Remodel existing viral content, which has already been proven to work with your own branding and unique twist. We're going to go over what that looks like specifically, how you can make it unique to yourself and put a unique spin and twist on it. But the thing is, the reason why this is important is because there's already successful pages out there with very, very high performing content out there that we'll be able to identify that is working right now in real time, engaging and attracting people in the niche. And since that's a fact and we could find these pages, obviously there's doing they're doing something right. There's something that we could learn from them. Why would we go out there and try and reinvent the wheel when the wheel is already invented and there's someone who's already doing something that's proven to work, right? We could simply get inspiration from that. We could remodel that. We could do it in our own way. That way, we have proof of concept and we could feel confident that it'll work for us as well. All right? Obviously, we're going to dive into a little bit more depth about what that looks like specifically, but as a concept, I want you to think about it like this. Okay? So, what you're going to want to do after understanding this is identify a viral content style or template. All right, every high performing theme page on Instagram uses a consistent and replicable content style, right? We're going to go over some examples in a second, but also what I want you to focus on is specifically reals to begin with. Um, reels are by far the best way to grow when you're starting a new page from scratch. You could implement posts and carousels a little bit later down the line depending on what niche you're in. It varies like when you should begin integrating them into that content, but they're not the best to start off from scratch because carousels and posts are more geared towards engaging your existing audience. They still have the potential to go viral, but they're geared towards nurturing and educating your existing audience. Whereas reals are more geared towards reach, new reach, putting your page out there, attracting an audience, right? So only focus on reels when you're trying to identify a viral content style/template at the beginning. Okay, so here are some examples of that. All right, just to kind of give you something tangibly to think about. And this is going to look different depending on your niche, of course, right? But let's take a look at this. This is called the Twitter format because um when someone posts something on Twitter, it's got like this little verify check mark here. This is kind of like what the formatting look like looks like. And it has like a little text and then like a clip, for example. Your kids probably have one of these, right? >> Not quite. Hell of a pilot. >> No. >> All right. So, I'm not going to play the whole thing, but you could kind of see the idea here. So, it's just kind of like the Twitter format, and then it's got a clip. And that is a proven format that's done very, very, very well. Right. Here's another one. A subtitles style or template. >> Man works from sun to sun. Women's work is never done. >> Very simple. Just someone speaking with subtitles coming up with background music with a little logo here. And this one is a subtitles with hook. So it's similar to this, but it's just cropped a little bit more. And there's actually a text hook at the top here. One of the things that really hurt Apple was after I left, John Scully got a very serious disease. I've seen [music] other people get it too. It's so that's another style. And then we've got this one here. This is more different from what we've seen so far. These are all like text based or subtitle based whereas this is like a quote style [music] where it's just some sort of background picture or video with some quote on it. And then this is like a cinematic style where it has the subtitles, but it's a little bit more sophisticated. You'll see. >> God never gave up on me. You know, everything I had to go through, all the adversity and no one believing in me, you know, this is special. I found God. >> So, this one has like more um interesting subtitles and some overlays. It's got the background music still. And then there's also content styles or templates that are like fully AI, right? Like this. The biggest mistake a woman can make is running to tell her family and friends every time she [music] has a problem because the moment you involve outsiders in every disagreement, the >> right so like AI videos and AI voice and then automatic subtitles that come up on the screen, some background music. So these are all examples of different content styles slashtemplates. All right. And if you were to take a look at the pages who are posting this content, they all follow a very consistent and replicable uh theme, right? Like each content style. Like for example, this it just be the same sort of format but with like a different text and a different video, right? And then same here, it'd be like same full screen subtitles, the same watermark, but it just be a different text with different subtitles coming up. and the format stays the same and you just sort of plug and play specific um new pieces of content within the same format or template. All right. And then again, uh there's a lot more of styles than this. These are some very popular ones, maybe ones that you'll see when you're doing your niche research, but at the same time, uh this all depends on your niche. All right? So, the content style or template that you choose depends on your niche or a parallel niche. So, what I suggest you do is reference your niche research worksheet, right? Because you've already filled this out from earlier on. I suggest you go back and take a look. And now, with this knowledge that you have, pay attention to the specific content style that the fastest performing pages in your niche are using and employing, right? Maybe the top five pages in your niche are all posting within like one of these uh content templates or maybe another one that is not on the screen. This is going to be very helpful to get you to understand what's actually going to work best in your niche and to give you inspiration on how you should approach your content strategy. All right, so just to summarize, choose one of the content styles/templates used by the fastest growing pages based off your research. Okay, it's going to give you a good direction on when it comes to like what type of content style that you should go with. Okay. So, yeah, now you understand how important content is and the first steps to take when getting clarity on your specific content approach. It's all dependent on your niche and just seek to identify and evaluate what sort of content styles perform best within your niche. That way, you could have a more clear direction moving forward with the next steps. All right. Now, we're going to go over more specifically how to do viral content research. So, let's dive straight into it. Okay. So, like I said earlier, we're not going to be reinventing the wheel. We're not coming up with something completely from scratch, completely innovative that no one has ever seen before. What we're doing is we're going to analyze Instagram. We're going to see what's already working best within our niche, and then we're going to remodel it in our own unique way, ideally making it even better, right? So, in order for us to do this, we need to see what is actually working on Instagram within our niche. And that's what's called viral content research, right? We're going to be looking for viral content within our niche. So, I have a few different ways that we could go ahead and do this. I'll be diving into each of them more in depth in a second, but I just want to list them first. So, as I've been discussing, we want to revisit our niche research. It's why it's so important, guys, to actually do that step because we've been going back to it a couple times now because we've got the fastest growing pages in our niche on that list and there's a lot that we could learn from those pages. A lot of inspiration that we could get to actually see what's working. And then also we could go through the following list of these pages because not only are those pages themselves are a good source to get inspiration but if we go through their following list and they have more research curated in their following list it helps for us to go through that and see uh what's working from those pages as well. Also there's a website called viralfinder.com. They've got a free version where essentially you log in create an account for free. There's a section called user search where you can type in the name of any theme page, any theme page in your niche and it will kind of populate all of their most viral content for you to kind of go ahead and look through. So, it makes the research pretty easy. And then also the last one here is intentional scrolling. So, through the reels or explore feed. At this point, you've warmed up your page, I assume, a decent amount. So, hopefully Instagram is starting to populate and show you viral, high performing content within your niche. So, if you go on to Instagram and you're very intentional about what you're doing, and you're not wasting your time and scrolling and getting distracted, but you're actually just going and kind of looking through some reels, seeing what pops up, you know, which pages are posting these reels, checking those pages, what viral content are those pages posting, or maybe checking the explore feed, trying to find some other pages. Uh, it's a very effective way to do research because it's more um automatic, let's say, right? Right? Like you can just pull up your phone, go straight to Instagram, and boom, you're going to see a bunch of inspiration already. And whereas the other ones are sort of more manually going out of your way and finding inspiration. All right? So, here are some of the main ways that you can do this viral concert research effectively. And just to show you an example of what that would look like, I'm just going to move over here. I'm going to go to a niche research worksheet. So, this is from a different page in the parenting niche. So, you can see this is a Google sheet here. I've got to look right over this. There's some pages in here and this is how they're organized into the fastest growing. This is kind of like how you benchmark the highest performing pages against each other. Kind of see what they look like, the branding, etc. Now, if we go to the fastest growing pages here, what we could do is we could just type in these pages on Instagram and considering they're growing very well, there's something that they're doing right. So, if we could go onto their page and kind of look through their high performing content, obviously we're going to find viral content there. you know, that's going to be a great source of inspiration. And then, like I said, you know, once we find a page like that, for example, we could go into their following list, and most likely they're going to be following some other uh high performing viral pages in the niche. Like, here's another theme page. Um, here's another one. Here's another one. And it just gives us another source to look through just to find some more options. All right. Also, for viral finder, it's very simple to use, so I'm not going to dive into it here. And then also, intentional scrolling. This is pretty self-explanatory as well. Just open your phone and begin scrolling a bit. All right, so this is the different ways that you could get that inspiration and see what's working best within your niche. Now, how do we actually determine what specific content to remodel? Right? So, that comes down to viral content selection. So, here is where we're seeing all the inspiration and here's where we kind of narrow it down to figure out what exactly we should be remodeling. Okay? So, here's some criteria for you to help you out. So, you want to look for content that has at least 500,000 views. Obviously, the more the better. If you could find ones with millions consistently, that's going to be even better. Also, you want to look for good engagement, right? Because again, views aren't everything. Engagement matters more, actually. So, you want to see that the the piece of content actually has decent amount of likes, comments, shares. The specific engagement rate is just going to depend. Um, there's no like, you know, set rate, but you want to look for between like two to five percent, let's say, for likes. So, if a reel has like a 100,000 views, you want to see that it has at least like 2,000 to 5,000 likes. And for comments and shares, you want to look for at least 100 comments and at least a,000 shares. All right? So, that's the criteria for the engagement. And then also, you want to make sure that the content that you'd be remodeling is posted within the last week. All right? And the earlier the better. So, this is a mistake I see some people make is when they're doing their research, like they see a reel that's gotten millions of views, good engagement, but then it's like posted six months ago. All right? And that's not the worst thing in the world. I'm not saying it's impossible to go viral by remodeling a piece of content that's 6 months old, but it's less of an accurate indicator as to what's working right now compared to content that is going viral recently. Right? Right? So, if we see a reel that's gone viral a couple days ago and we could quickly jump on it and remodel it, make it even better, put our own unique spin on it, the likelihood of that going viral for us as well is going to be higher compared to as if we compared to if we grabbed one that was like months ago or weeks ago. All right? It doesn't mean you can't ever do that. You could test it and see how it performs for you, but it's a higher likelihood for you to go viral and perform well if it's earlier. Okay? So, uh within the last week you should aim for. So, here's the criteria for that. This is how you're going to narrow down your research to actually find specific content to remodel. All right, so now that we've gone over how to do effective viral content research and also the criteria to look for when determining which specific piece of content to select and remodel, let's dive a little bit deeper into the actual content creation process. All right, first and foremost, obviously each content style/template has a different content creation process. Right. So, if we scroll up a little bit here and we take a look at the examples of the different templates or styles that we went over earlier, some of them are pretty similar to one another, but others are like completely different, right? So, these up these three up here are a bit similar because it just is a clip and then some have text at the top and are more cropped, whereas others are just like full screen and then some have [snorts] maybe more fancy editing. Whereas like the quote style is pretty much completely different to these and the AI style is also different. So because of that, the process is going to be different, right? So keep that in mind. It's going to depend on your niche and the style that you choose. And because of that, unfortunately, obviously, I can't break down each and every single style on Instagram because there's dozens and it would take hours. So I can't do it in this free course, but I can break down a few. All right? And this is a very, very popular style. It's one of the most high performing styles on Instagram is like these three here. Okay? So, um, you could see that they're all kind of similar in a way. So, if you know how to make one of these, like the sub title style, which is what we're going to be going over, you can easily recreate these other styles as well, right? Because if you do this, all you have to do is like kind of crop the clip a little bit more and put some text and this Twitter formatting above very, very easy. Right? So, you're just going to learn the foundations of the subtitle style. So, we've gone over how you can actually find the specific, let's say, piece of content that you want to remodel or the specific clip. But then the question is like how do you actually get the raw source or the you know original source of that clip that is unedited because when you follow this process here you're going to find edited clips now and if we want to remodel it and put our own spin on it we have to find the original source right so here's exactly how we can do that. So I'm back on Instagram here and the clip that I'm going to be remodeling for the sake of this example is this one right here. It's like this health page. This one got 3.5 million views and the engagement is quite good. The only thing just keep in mind this was posted a little while ago. So, I'm just doing this video for the sake of the example. But again, make sure that you're choosing more recent clips ideally. All right, so let's listen to this real quick. Stronger your thighs are, the stronger your quads are, the longer you live. Crazy fact, the single most important, >> right? So, we're going to find this original clip or the source of this clip. So the thing is here almost every single original source is on YouTube. All right, YouTube is going to be a very very helpful place for us to find these original sources. Now then the question is like how do you search it up properly on YouTube? So towards the beginning it might be a little tough because maybe you don't know like what this person's name is and you don't know what to search up. But keep in mind if you check their captions often times people are putting like the specific source in the caption. So, I could literally just copy and paste this into the YouTube search bar and it's going to show me the video. But also, if they don't have it here, you can like look through the comments. Maybe someone is also wondering what his name is and then someone replies and then you could just look up that and podcast and you'll be able to find it. And then also what you could do another way, like another method is literally take a screenshot of like one of the angles in the set here and then upload that screenshot into Google Lens and Google Lens will use its AI to kind of like identify which podcast this is and like which video it is and that way you could just look it up on YouTube after that, right? But in this case it's right here. So, I'm just going to copy and paste this. Head over to YouTube. And then I already got it up right here, but what I'm going to do is literally just copy and paste it in the search bar up top. Press search and then boom, it pulls it up right here. All right. So, I'm going to click on it. >> Life than anybody thought. So, you're saying a brain >> and you can see that this video is like 40 minutes long. So, obviously, we don't want to watch the whole 40 minutes just to find like this small 30 second clip here, right? So here's what we're going to want to do in order to speed that up. So if you go and look here, you just want to look at the text that he's saying on the screen right here. So like thing you can do the thingable greatest coralate for preserving brain health, >> brain health and body health, right? So let's just keep that in mind. We could actually go to the transcript on YouTube. So we go down here. It says uh show transcript. And then what we could do is search through that transcript. So, I'm just going to say brain health. Brain health. Right. So, here's that part of the clip. And this is how it starts, I believe. Let's see. >> There's a lot more to do. >> Yeah. So, on brain agent thingable greatest, >> the single most important thing you can do, the thing about greatest. >> So, this is like the part that we're going to want. So, what we would do at this point is click here and then you'll see clip coral for preserve. And then, you know, this clip's a little bit odd. Um, how in a sense that like 30 seconds into it is when there's a part of the clip that is used in in the actual video that we saw on Instagram, but then like 15 seconds before that is kind of added on later, right? So, it's just a bit unorganized. So, what I'm going to do is just like >> side of it >> clip up to 60 seconds here >> longer, >> right? Obviously, for the sake of the example, I'm not going to like find the exact time frames, but you're just going to want to find when you're doing it the exact time frames of the clip that you saw on Instagram so that you could get the exact time frames from this clip on YouTube. All right. And then what you could do is just you got to give it a title. So, I'm just going to type something random. Then you press share clip and it's going to I'm just going to do it right here for the example. It's going to give you a link. All right. Now, at this point, you have the clip. So, you could go over to this website called loader.to. O and literally just paste the clip here and it's going to allow you to download the clip. That way we could drag it into our like editing software after. Right? So keep in mind loader.co is a very very powerful website because if you look up other websites for like YouTube to MP4 converters, they don't let you download YouTube clips. They only allow you to download the entire video, right? Whereas this video is like 40 minutes long. So, we don't want to have to download the whole video just for this short snippet of 1 minute. Instead, with Loader.co, it allows us to download the 60-second clip that we made ourselves, right? Keep in mind that some YouTube videos that you find might not have this clip option here. I think it's something that whoever posted it has the option to turn on or off, but most of the clips that you find, you should be able to press this clip button here, right? But on Loader.co, Uh, unfortunately my Wi-Fi is a little slow right now. So, it's not really, it usually should be instant, but you'll see that now it's downloaded. So, I can just press this. Uh, I want to click out of that and then it'll allow me to download it. So, I just press save and then I have the MP4 right in my computer. Now, another thing that I want to go over is a neat tool called Filmont. All right. So, this is something that you could use if you're having trouble finding the original source on YouTube because a lot of people say uh maybe they have struggles with this especially at the beginning like right because maybe again you don't know uh this person's name or what to look up on YouTube and you're having trouble finding the specific video. So, Filmont is something that you can kind of use to get around that. And essentially what it allows you to do is find specific YouTube videos based off of a transcript. So if we go back to the video and kind of listen to what he's saying here >> and body health leg strength [music] thigh muscle mass inversely cor >> so earlier he said like the single most important thing that you could do right so let's just type that in the single yeah I've already done this so it's going to populate here and then the YouTuber is this guy here so we have the option to put this in because we know him but if you don't you don't need to uh fil can still find it and then let's just do this search automatic subtitles And then it's going to do its thing. And then boom, the video shows up right here. Right? So if we had trouble finding it on YouTube by ourselves, we could use Filmont. And that allows us to find it a bit easier. All right. So now we can click on this video. The open it up and then boom. The single most important thing. So now at this point, we have our clip and it's cut. It is the exact sort of time frames that we need. Now we can begin remodeling the clip to our own unique style, put our uni unique twist on it, and put our own spin on it. All right, so let's dive straight into that. We're going to go into a quick video editing tutorial for how you could turn this clip into an actual postable, uploadable piece of content that could go viral. Okay, then keep in mind again, this is just going to go over like the subtitle format. Um, but other types of content styles or templates you would go through the video creation process a little bit differently. Some you could use more AI than others, right? But this one we're going to be using um you'll see it'll be Cap Cut or Premiere Pro. And then there's other similar ones as well, but those are the two main ones. All right, so I'll see you guys in that breakdown. All right, so now that we've got our viral clip, we can go ahead and edit it and remodel it with our own branding and unique twist so that we can go ahead and post it as a real on our page. All right. And in this tutorial, I'm going to be using uh Adobe Premiere Pro. This is a paid tool, although there are also free tools out there like Cap Cut and Da Vinci Resolve. By far the most popular one, the one that I suggest you use is Cap Cut. It's very uh easy to use, beginnerfriendly interface, and it works very similarly to Premiere Pro. So, everything that you're going to be learning and watching in this tutorial, you could go ahead and cross reference and apply as you're using Cap Cut. All right. Obviously, there's going to be subtle nuance differences, but uh the main principle stays the same. Okay. Uh so, let's dive straight into it. I've got Premiere Pro opened on the screen, as you could see. And first up, what you're going to want to do is press command N and go to settings. And this is how you're going to create a new project or sequence. You want to change it to 1080 by 1920. That's going to give you that rectangular format like this. Okay. So now we could go ahead and drag the clip onto the timeline right here. And we're going to press keep existing settings. And there's the clip as you could see. And what we're also going to do is we're going to go to effect controls and zoom it in. That way we could center him like this. And then also this clip's a little interesting in the sense that it kind of starts like the beginning of the clip is later on in the video. I'll show you what I mean. stronger your the strong >> That's how it starts. The stronger your legs are, >> the stronger your thighs are >> or thighs are. So, we're gonna go ahead and move it like that. That's what I mean. >> All right. And >> obviously, you could see here that now he's no longer centered. So, we have to kind of like reign the clip here again for each new angle. That's how podcasts do it sometimes. It's a little tedious, but And then here it switches to this guy. So we have to [laughter] go like that. Here we go. Make this guy centered now. And here it goes back to this one. Cool. So we could just copy and paste this. Copy. Paste. Boom. So, now that we that's the first step, we got it all sort of aligned and centered. All right. So, now what we can go ahead and do is um drag our watermark onto the timeline. So, this is the logo that we had created together earlier. Um since this is a a health sort of longevity type clip, uh figured we could just use the same watermark. So, I think 20 would be a good size here. I'm going to drag it like in this region right here. I think, you know, right here might look nice. And also, pro tip for you guys, I suggest using a uh safe zone. Look up reals safe zone online and download one of the options there. It looks like this. Uh I'm going to zoom this out a little bit. And it it looks like this. So, the thing is, if I were to move the watermark below like this, it'd be covered by the caption when I post it on Instagram. So instead, I kind of want to make sure it's right above like that because this is where the like button and the comment and the save are. This is where the caption is. You know, this is where it says reals and friends, you know, when you're actually using real. So this safe zone kind of just makes sure that you don't place anything in obstructed places. All right. And then yeah, once that's there, you could kind of just like hide it like that. [snorts] All right. So now that we've got our logo there, looks clean. What we could do is go ahead and generate the captions together. So essentially what you do is you just go to text, you go to transcript, and then I'm just going to uh I believe this is already transcribed here. So I'm just going to say generate static transcript. Uh no, and then audio one. [snorts] So AI is going to go ahead and generate this transcript here. And what I like to do is remove the commas and periods. So I just type in comma here. Replace. replace all. It just replaces it with nothing, so it removes it. And then periods, replace all. So now that we have the transcript, we could go ahead and generate auto captions. All right. So we let's just press create captions right here and then press captioning preferences or right here. Captioning preferences. It was stuck there for a second. Typically, you want to go to around 22 characters and change the lines to single rather than double. And then, um, you know, I have, you know, preset styles, but I'm not going to create one or I'm not going to use one here just to show you guys like the process from scratch. [snorts] So, you could see here now the the subtitles are generated. It looks like this. >> But these subtitles look like right? So, we want to change that. So, go to graphics and then uh click yeah, click the subtitles, go to graphics properties. And what we could do now is kind of adjust the style of the subtitles to look a lot more nicer. So, here I'm going to use a font called let's just say uh what can we use? Jill Sands Bold. I think that looks kind of decent. Um I want to make it a little bigger so we could see it. I don't really like that one actually. Maybe we could use Gotham Black instead. Yeah, that looks nice. And then you could click this. It'll put it in the middle of the screen. Just like that. And then also what we want to do is kind of go to this shadow area. This is where we could get a little bit more meticulous. And if we zoom in, you'll kind of see the effects of what I'm doing here. I just want to make the shadow a little bit darker behind it so it makes the white text easier to read. [snorts] So there you go. You can see it's intensifying there. Obviously, don't want to do it too intense, but something like this, I think, looks pretty nice. All right. So, now we can zoom back out. And we've got the subtitles. Just like that. I think it looks a little strong, so I want to make it less intense. There we go. Boom. And then what you want to do is press this right here. This will make it go to each uh cuz right now if you were to look at all the rest of the captions, they're all the the old one. We don't want that. So instead, press this all captions on track and now each of them >> are the same. >> Okay. And uh the thing is here it's a little lower. So what we're going to want to do is just go like this, highlight all of them, and then go to graphics and titles. Press upgrade caption to graphic. And now we can go ahead and move the these captions to be on the same sort of uh height as these ones here. So we just want to move them a little lower little higher now. Just like that. Cool. And we're going to want to copy this over onto these. And now they're all the same size. >> The stronger your thighs are, the stronger [clears throat] your quads are, the longer you live. Crazy fact, the single most important thing you can do, the thing about greatest coralate for preserving brain health and body. >> So you see we've got the subtitles now on the screen. Although you can see that there's some mistakes. So we're going to want to go ahead and manually correct those. the stronger your thighs are. >> So, the the stronger your I want to make it look like this. Obviously, you could choose how meticulous you want to be with the captions here, but I'm a little picky, so I'm going to adjust it. Make it look a little better. stronger your little the stronger your little thighs are. the stronger your quads are your quad are the and then here he goes the stronger your quads are the stronger are the longer you live. Crazy fact, the single most important thing you can do, the thing you can do, the do the thingable greatest coralate for preserving brain health and body health. leg strength. Thy muscle mass inversely correlates with mortality. How crazy is that? >> Hang on. Hang on. How crazy? >> How crazy is that? [snorts] >> Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Legs tran legs correlates with legs tr. >> So we just want to get rid of this here. No. Leg strength correlates with mortality. >> No, no. Inversely correl no. >> He says, "No, no, no, no, >> no, no. Inversely correlates with mortality correlate >> with mortality." So [snorts] obviously the uh AI auto captions does like 90 95% good, but you know obviously we don't want uh 90 95% good. We want to make it as good as humanly possible to increase the likelihood of us going viral as much as possible. So that's why I'm going in and manually adjusting these captions or uh subtitles. >> Correlates. >> Yeah. So it's not I must correlate with correlates. >> Yeah. So it's I must intellate. >> So I think this is where it ends actually right here. >> So we could go ahead and shorten this up. And um that is that's it. Now we kind of have our uh fully edited clip. It's got the subtitles. It's got the um watermark here. The framing is right. You know, each time the guy who's speaking is in the middle. And uh now what we could do is add a little background music on it to make it more engaging. So I'm going to drag this one that I kind of already pulled up here. The stronger your little thighs are. So this is a lot louder than we want. So let's make it a bit quieter. The stronger your thighs are, the thronger your quads are, the longer you live. Crazy fact, the single most important thing you can do, the thing about greatest coralate for preserving brain health and body health, leg strength, thigh muscle mass versus and just like that, we have our viral clip. And this obviously falls into the category of the [snorts] uh regular subtitle reels that we were discussing earlier. Although there are like uh more adjustments that we can make to kind of make these into subtly different formats. But first off, um obviously there's little changes that we can make here to make it more unique to our own style. So for example, instead of having like the uh watermark here if you don't want it, what you technically could do is make a username or text based watermark rather than a logo watermark. And that would look a little something like this. I'll show you guys. So, I'm going to go ahead and make this invisible. And then it would look like this. So, maybe if our page is called Longevity Lab, we could go ahead and change this to like maybe a more thin text, you know, something like this. And then change the color to like gray. Maybe like a gray like this. And then make it a lot smaller. And then we could potentially place it something like this. Maybe you've seen these types of watermarks in the past, but now it looks like this. >> The stronger your thighs are, the stronger your quads are, the longer you live. [music] Crazy. like that watermark works perfectly good as well. So that's a way you could change it, make it a little bit more unique. Uh [snorts] you could also, for example, if you wanted to um go ahead and uh you know, color the subtitles on every line. So like this, you know, for example, you could go like this. Let me allow this real quick. There we go. Um, you can make the color like a bright green and go and change like one word for each line to like this green color just to make it more engaging. Kind of make it more branded to your brand, the stronger your >> All right. And you could kind of manually go ahead and do this. It would take like a minute uh to each line. And um yeah, that's that's pretty much it for the most part. You know, clips like this, even though it's so simple, like these types of clips have the potential to go viral. You know, the one that we got inspiration from obviously got 3.5 million views. It wasn't more complicated than this. And >> [snorts] >> uh obviously this took a little bit longer since I was explaining the process in depth to you guys. Uh but you could bang out these clips in like, you know, five five minutes, 5 10 minutes. You know, obviously at the beginning it'll take a little longer. You have to get into the rhythm of it, but you know, once you get good at it, you know, you could bang them out. All right. So, um, as I said, you know, this is just the traditional subtitle format, but also what you could do, for example, is like this. You know, maybe you want to, um, let's go ahead and shrink this clip a little bit more. Maybe we wanted to make it like, you know, something like this [sighs] where there it has like the black on the top and bottom. And then we could like, you know, make the uh hook at the top. It would look something like um this. Let me go ahead and drag that, you know, at the top. And it could be a hook like you know. This is another type of format. This is like the uh you know subtitles with a text hook at the top. And then also you know if you wanted to you could technically do it into the Twitter format as well. You just have to make things a little bit smaller, reformat them, and then like have the logo and the username up here, uh, similar to the one that we had looked at earlier. But, um, yeah, that's why I wanted to break down this one as a tutorial because once you kind of understand these foundations, you can, uh, remodel the piece of content in a few different ways depending on which format you decide is going to be the best based off your research and what you believe and can see is performing the best, right? But um yeah, that's pretty much the whole process. I'm going to go back and make some edits here so we could go back to the original way it looked like this. All right, this is the the whole edit. Very simple. And now what we could do is just go here to export. Uh you could just copy these export settings. Very simple. Um go to frame rate. Actually make this 30 30 fps. And then you could either press export here or you could go up here, export, and then boom, takes a few seconds, you've got your clip, and you are all good to go. So, um, yeah, very simple example of how you can make a viral subtitle reel in just 5 10 minutes. Whether you're using Premiere Pro, Cap Cut, uh, the process is very similar. Like I said, there are nuance differences, but um you could tell that once you, you know, get into the hang of the process here, you could bump out like, you know, dozens of clips like this in just one day and kind of get your content prepared for the week, for example. Uh makes it very, very easy, right? So yeah, that's about it for this tutorial and I will see you guys in the next steps. All right. So, at this point, you should have a lot more clarity on the specific content strategy with your page in your niche and how to actually find the content, how to get inspiration for it, and even create it. So, now it's time for us to prepare for launch, right? Because we're almost there. And there's just a couple quick steps. So, let's just dive into it. Firstly, I suggest preparing four to five reels for Breathing Room. All right? And the reason I suggest this is because keep in mind once you do begin posting, you're going to want to stay consistent and post at least once every day, right? And if you're just creating it the day of, you're kind of on the back foot and um you know, things could come up and you might miss your post and that's just not good. Um whereas if you have four or five reels or even just a couple as breathing room, kind of on the back burner, then it just gives you a head start at the beginning. You could be ahead of schedule and make sure that you could stay consistent moving forward. All right. On top of that, I also suggest um kind of reviewing your own content and making adjustments before you make your first post, right? Think about it like this. You don't want to have a like a rough draft as your first post on your page, right? Because you want to give you don't want to give the algorithm the impression that like, you know, your content isn't that good and doesn't keep people on the platform straight from the jump, right? So, make sure to post like a final draft uh piece of content um as your first piece so that way you could develop a stronger relationship with the algorithm at the beginning. S like kind of like a first impression if you think about it. Now, with that being said, you don't need to be a perfectionist and overthink it, but you know, make some, you know, optimizations or adjustments after your first time creating one or like ask a friend to review it or someone who's experienced that you may know to review it and they could give you some feedback. you can make the adjustments and then post a final draft as your first one rather than a rough draft. All right, so that's number one. Number two is then to create a cap caption template. All right, so just to be clear on that, a every page has their own caption template. So for example, this page, Neuroglobe, if you check each of their reels, the structure is always the same. they just have like you know uh a bulk sort of caption here and then the bottom half everything under my cursor is like the same on each and every video right so the only part that is different is this so that's kind of like the structure right and each page has like a slightly different structure as you can see uh with these screenshots here the principle is the same it's just like some text and then something that's copy and paste off of each reel uh but they're slightly different now this comes down to having a uh caption template structure structure essentially, right? And this is niche dependent. So some captions in certain niches are more similar whereas others might be different. So I just suggest, you know, taking a look at your niche research again, for example, seeing what captions uh on the highest fastest growing pages there look like just for some inspiration. But typically, this is like a proven structure right here. It's one custom hook, two custom bulk text, and then three a copy and paste footer, right? which is typically the follow CTA and hashtags. So that in practice looks like this. This is the hook which is step one of the structure and then this is like the bulk which is part two of the structure and then three this is like the copy and paste um footer which is on each reel. Right? So we're going to go over more about this in a second like how to actually create a template with AI. That way, each time you need to post a new video, all you do is kind of like uh one simple step, telling the AI what to do and giving it context, and then it'll spit you out like the perfect well ststructured caption, right? That way it could be quick and easy. So, let's just dive straight into it. Now that we've prepared for launch properly, we're ready to officially launch, which is going to be pretty exciting because up until this point, you know, we've just been creating the page and, you know, putting things together, warming it up, you know, exploring the content, learning about it, editing it, but now we're actually going to start making some progress, right? Aside from just getting things set up. So, that's exciting. Now, let's just dive straight into it. So, the first thing that you're going to want to nail down once you do launch is a posting schedule. And like I just mentioned a second ago, you're going to want to post at least once per day. All right? Ideally, two to three times if you can because the more volume at the beginning and in general, the better as long as you're not sacrificing quality. Okay? But just remember, at least once per day. And then target first world country audience. And you can do this by just posting between 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. uh Eastern Standard Time. All right? I'm going to add that in here actually, Eastern Standard Time. And then also you could schedule the posts which I suggest because it's just more automated. You don't have to think about it. Or you could post them manually. And keep in mind you could schedule posts directly through Instagram. Most of you guys should be able to. Uh or you could just post them manually. Sometimes people just keep them in the drafts. That way when they're ready to post, they just log in, press a couple buttons, and then it posts. And just to clear up, it doesn't affect reach if you schedule directly through Instagram. So you don't need to worry about that. So once you have a posting schedule set, then you want to make sure that you know exactly how to do the captions. So just a moment ago, we went over like uh caption template structure, but now we could dive a little bit deeper into how to actually create proper captions. So what I suggest here first is just revisiting the niche research. Again, this is the best thing to do for inspiration. Just see what the fastest growing pages in your niche are actually doing and what their captions look like. But in most cases, whether you see it from other pages in your niche, which you probably will, or even if you don't, longer cap uh longer captions are typically best, right? Because of a couple main reasons. First, it increases watch time, right? Because when there's a longer caption, there's more for people to read. It takes longer for them to read it. Sometimes they like watch the video first and then they see there's a long caption and then go read the caption and then the video plays twice. And it just increases uh overall watch time, right? And as we've gone over, this is the most important metric that the algorithm looks at when determining whether to push your video or not. Right? So that's good. And then another thing is it increases follower conversion. And the reason it does is because longer captions provide more value to the viewer. So let's just say viewer watches one piece of content and it has like a short like quick caption, right? Maybe the viewer gets some value from it. Whereas the viewer watches, let's just say the same video in a hypothetical scenario. The same exact video, but it has a longer caption, which is more in-depth, adds more context for the viewer, makes it more interesting, and also there's a clear takeaway from the caption. You know, who do you which video do you think the viewer is going to get more value from? It's the one with the longer caption, right? They feel like they got more value. They feel like it impacted them more. And because of that, it makes them more likely to follow you, right? because the more value that someone gets from your reel or content, the more you impact them, the more likely it is that they want to see more of that content, right? So, that's why long captions are typically best. Those are two main reasons. And of course, we're going to use AI to come to our rescue here to make our lives a whole lot easier. So, I'm going to zoom out again here. This is a prompt that you guys could copy and paste straight into AI. So, feel free to take a screenshot. And you're just going to want to customize what is in here to your specific niche, right? And give it some context. Now, there's a couple tools that I believe are very important to get used to. Makes your job a whole lot easier. So, let's just say you're posting a reel that is similar to the one that we did the editing tutorial for, like a subtitle reel. Um, there's going to be a transcript of that reel, right? And if you could just copy and paste that transcript into chat GPT or any AI, it could spit out a really good high quality caption for you, right, with the template structure that you give it. And the template structure, by the way, is just something you create once and then you just copy and paste it onto each one or AI will do it for you. So these two tools, Turboscribe and Unos Uniscribe, they do the exact same thing. Uh it's essentially an AI transcripting tool, right? And they have free versions. They let you do three per day for free. All right. And all you have to do is just like once you're done editing your video, just drag the MP4 into like Turboscribe. It's going to give you a transcript like a few seconds later. And then all you have to do is copy and paste that transcript into a new prompt, which I'm going to show you right here. Right. So, here's an example. So, let's just say you have this video. >> Darling, give me the advice. Let's go. >> You [music] cannot control or dictate. >> No. All right. So, like a, you know, woman's mindset type uh video, right? So, here's the caption for this reel. Uh, I believe this reel did very, very good as well. Got a few million views. So, here's what you're going to want to do. So, firstly, download the reel that you're getting inspiration from or the competitor one, ideally one that went viral, has proof of concept, and then you're going to want to get the transcript from that reel using one of these tools that I mentioned, and paste it into this script here or into this prompt. and then go to the actual caption of the same reel and then copy and paste it into this section of the prompt. Right? Because what this is going to do, this prompt here, it's going to like pretty much analyze the structure of it. That way you could repeat it or make a similar one yourself. All right? So then once you do that, then there's this other prompt here. I'm going to zoom out so you could screenshot it. [snorts] you're just going to want to uh use this prompt and customize it in a similar sense, right? So, obviously here uh you're going to want to put your specific CTA that you want to have in each and every one of your reels. Also, you want to do four to five hashtags, which we'll go over here in a second as well, and make the tone however you'd like it. All right? And customize whatever you need to here. But these two prompts should get you started. This one's kind of like mimicking the structure of a competitor or a high performing reel. And then this is making it custom to your uh specific page. That way each time you go to create a new reel, all you have to do is copy and paste the transcript into the same chat that you've been chatting with the AI and then they're just going to pump out a new caption that's ready for you to post with the whole caption template structure and everything. All right, so that's how you do this the most effective way, the most time efficient way. So, now that we've gone over that, let's go over hashtags because, as I just mentioned here, you're going to want to have um some hashtags most of the time in your uh uh caption template structure. And what I suggest is five hashtags, three general, and two custom. So, what I mean by this is like, let's just say you're in the business niche. Like your three general hashtags that you could have on every single reel is like entrepreneurship, business, and money or businessmen or entrepreneurship or entrepreneur like three general ones and then have two custom for the specific reel, right? Like let's just say it's a real about Elon Musk. You'd say um business entrepreneur entrepreneurship Elon Musk Tesla, right? And then boom, that's your five captions. And then if it's one about Steve Jobs, you know, uh, business, entrepreneurship, entrepreneur, Steve Jobs, Apple, right? Then boom. So that's what I would suggest for hashtags. Again, it's not too big of a deal here. So don't overthink it. Um, you know, if the content is good enough quality, you don't even need hashtags. That's pretty much what it comes down to. All right, [snorts] so with all of this being said, you're officially ready to begin posting. All right, so that's pretty exciting. Like I mentioned, we've done all of this work up until now to put us in the best possible position to start posting and start crushing it. All right, so another just precursor here. Again, make sure to stay consistent. Post at least one time per day. And then again, don't hesitate to spend a little bit more time in the preparation phase just to make sure you have that breathing room and also to make sure that you know you're auditing your content enough to the point where it's high enough quality to start off at the beginning, right? just to make that good first impression with the algorithm as I referred to. So yeah, with that being said, let's move on to the next step here, which is organic growth. Let's get into it. All right, so at this point, you've launched your page. Now it's time to grow it, right? It's time to build that audience, to get in front of that attention. And remember, as I've emphasized multiple times at this point, content is king. It's by far the most important pillar here. It's going to be the main fuel to your fire, the main driver of your organic growth. Okay? If your content is poor quality and nobody wants to watch it or engage with it, then any other growth strategy is irrelevant. Seriously, nothing else really is going to matter if your content is bad quality. So, I just want to reemphasize that again. Content is king. And with that being said, there's a couple things that we could do on our own towards the beginning to like, you know, let's say build some initial engagement and build some momentum, some more manual things that we're going to go over here in a second that can help at the beginning, but especially once you're across the first 100, you know, a few thousand followers, content does all of the work, okay? And you don't have to do those manual things, even though it still helps. And regarding the actual specific forms and mediums of content, reels are by far the best way to start off. They're the best for reach and exposure. And one viral reel can literally skyrocket your page overnight. You'd be surprised how much one single reel could do for you, right? Because Instagram gives reels a chance. As we've gone over earlier, if you're giving them a reason to keep pushing your reel out further, they will give your reel the chance, right? Not going to be right at the beginning as your first post. Maybe it'll take like, you know, your first uh couple dozens of posts, but Instagram does give your content a chance. And again, like I said, you could be surprised, you would be surprised how fast things could pick up with just one viral reel because at that point, we're going to go over this in more detail later, you get some more momentum. And if you could capitalize off that the right way, you could grow very, very quickly. All right. At the same time, carousels and posts are still good content formats, but they're not the best to start off with at the beginning. Depending on the niche, for most niches, you're going to want to integrate them later down the line because maybe like around 10 to 30k followers. They're really good for nurturing and educating your audience, like when you're focusing on conversion later down the line. And they also still have the potential to go viral and to get pushed out and to get lots of views and followers. All right, just at the beginning, you're going to want to stick with reals in like 90% of cases. Okay, again, do your niche research and take a look at your competitors. [snorts] Um, and again, if your big competitors are posting post in real uh carousels, like they have 100k followers, that doesn't necessarily mean that you should do the same, right? Because the content that they posted to get to that point is probably different than the content that they posted now. So, just as a rule of thumb, stick with reals at the beginning. Okay? Now, something else that you could do aside of that to kind of contribute towards the likelihood of you going viral is using trending audio. This is super [snorts] important. A lot of you guys, I'm sure, know this or have this in mind, but using trending audio significantly increases the likelihood of your reel going viral. So, I suggest to create a folder of trending and highquality audios for your niche specific content style, right? just to have uh have them there for you conveniently. Maybe between five to 10 or five to 15 different high quality trending audios within your niche [snorts] and how you find these audios. Don't do the ones that Instagram just suggests to you. It might say trending, but that doesn't ne necessarily mean they're actually what they're pushing. What I do suggest is the same way we did the viral content research to figure out like what kind of clips to choose or what like quotes to choose for example, you could do the same and pay attention to the background music of the highest performing reels from your competitors in the last 30 days. Go look through all of them, find the ones that have performed the best, look to see what those audios are, and then download them, put them into a folder. And what you might find when doing this is that you're there's a pattern between specific sounds, maybe a handful that are getting pushed and really going viral. So those are ones that you're going to also want to keep in mind. Okay, so create a folder of trending audio. Super important. And uh again, this is going to be revisiting the viral content research. So the same way we did it for the content, you could just go back to your niche research worksheet. You could look at the pages they're following, go on Filefinder, do some intentional scrolling, and based off the outliers, the highest performing uh piece of content that you see, just download the music from there, put them into a folder. Okay, so now that we've gone over that, I want to go over a couple more manual organic growth strategies. All right, so as I mentioned, primarily these are going to give you some initial engagement and momentum towards the beginning. And as I also mentioned, they're not as important once you're already gaining some traction, you've gained your first few hundred, first few thousand followers. These are just some some things that you can do on your own just to kind of speed up that process and get some initial engagement and momentum. All right, so as a precursor before we dive into this, there's some safe limits on Instagram for how often you can do certain actions, right? So, this goes back to like some of the concepts from warming up your page where you don't want to send any red flags or negative signals to Instagram about your account, right? So, for example, if you were to go and spam like dozens of likes and copy and paste comments and DMing like a hundred people, [snorts] Instagram sees that as like suspicious user activity, irregular behavior, maybe bot activity, and they could like put some restrictions onto your page, and you don't want that, right? So, here are the safe limits to keep in mind. 10 to 20 likes per hour, 5 to 10 comments per hour. Uh, and then you can just read this just so you don't go over these limits. Okay, this will keep your account in good standing. Now, the first specific strategy is called the one two punch strategy. And I'm just going to give you guys a rundown on how to like execute each of these strategies and why they're important. Okay, so the first step of this strategy is to find an active account in the same niche as you with under 10k followers. Then you're going to go into their followers or following list and find other active smaller accounts in your niche. So, this is like the following method, following list method that we've gone over uh so far in the past throughout this video. And then you're going to want to follow these pages, like three to five of their latest posts, and leave a meaningful comment. All right. So, what this is going to do is essentially put your page out there, right, for others to see. And that way, if your content isn't getting immediate tons of traction right at the beginning, you're still doing things in your power to put yourself out there and kind of like uh get people familiar with your page, your logo, your branding, and just kind of asserting a presence in the niche. All right? So, I suggest doing this five to 10 times an hour, especially right before and right after you post. That way, you know, people, this this is what goes into the next point. This leverages the law of uh reciprocation. So when you go onto an account that's maybe a similar size as you and you like some of their videos and you comment, that other small account is going to see that and kind of feel obliged to do the same for you, right? This is the law of reciprocation. They're going to feel like a debt that they have to pay to you. So then if they see you post, they might like follow you and like and comment on your post. And if you've got like a few people doing this when you post, it's just going to start boosting some um initial momentum and engagement for your videos at the beginning. All right, so that's why this is important. The next strategy is called the stealing followers strategy. All right? And here's how you do it. First, you find two to three large accounts in your niche, like between 100 to 500K. I suggest uh not more than 500K, or else this becomes a little bit more challenging. And then once you find these two to three accounts, follow them and turn their post notifications on. And then once they post, aim to be the first to leave a meaningful comment. Right? All right. So, obviously sometimes you're not going to be on your phone when they post, but other times if you are and you see the notification, just click on it and try to be the first to leave a meaningful comment. Then what you could do is like your own comment with another account that you have, like maybe a burner to give it a boost so that it shows up at the top of the comment lists and it gives the opportunity for this comment to go viral, right? Especially if it's like a witty uh interesting comment. Um, obviously don't like spend 10 minutes thinking about it, but maybe something you think of after a minute. uh something that could go viral and the whole goal is to have it show up at the top of that um comment list so that when anyone checks the uh caption or the comments, they'll see your comment there. And this could be powerful because if these pages have 100 to 500k followers, they've got lots of traction coming onto the page. It's just kind of like putting yourself where the attention is going, right? And I've seen pages gain up to hundreds of followers with just one of their comments popping off. Obviously, not every single one is going to do this. This is more rare, but it gives the opportunity for this. And also stay consistent with this strategy for a couple weeks just to see which page is giving you the most traction. Then just stick with one page and whenever you're on your phone and you see the post notification, just feel free to click on it and try to leave a quick comment so that you can potentially go viral and just get some extra attention and follows. And the third organic growth strategy is going to be a shout out for shoutout and real collaboration. All right. So, just for some context to give you clarity on what this even is, a shout out for shoutout is where you shout out someone else's page and that same person shouts out your page as well just to kind of introduce each other to your guys' audience. And then a collaboration is actually a feature that's integrated with an Instagram where you can post a reel and invite a collaborator and they could accept it and it'll show that you've both posted it as like partners or they could invite you and you could accept it. All right? So, I suggest reaching out to other accounts with a similar size following as you in your niche with like a simple simple uh similar content style and also ideally high-quality content and ask if they'd be down to do a shout out for shout out with you. And I suggest doing the same for asking about a real collaboration. As I mentioned, these allow you to tap into their network and vice versa. They tap into your network. Okay. Uh this very simple, just reach out to someone and you don't have to think about it as very transactional. You could think about it as kind of like maybe developing a relationship as well, networking, getting to know some other people in the space and in your niche. Maybe you guys could have a chat and see if you could learn something from each other, for example. It'll never hurt to do those sorts of things. And it's optional at the end of the day. But then, yeah, after speaking with them, just um ask if they'd be down for one of these. And if they're around the same size as you and the same niche as you, your guys' content is similar, there's really no reason why they wouldn't be down. All right? And then also if you're like a few hundred followers, you might be able to reach out to someone with a few thousand followers and maybe you'll get lucky and they'll be down to do it anyways. All right, so that's the third strategy. And then the fourth one here is comment replies. So I suggest that you guys reply to all comments that you get on your content with a additional question or comment. And then also you could pin your favorite comments. This is essentially just going to incentivize and encourage future engagement, right? So, for example, imagine, you know, you're the viewer and you see a reel and you uh comment on it and take the time to think of something and, you know, you see that the person like likes it and maybe pins it and people are replying to it, you know, it incentivizes psychologically in the viewer's mind like and gives them a reason to do it again in the future, right? So that way you can maybe have some consistent people engaging with your content, which is what we want. And then lastly, what you could do is aim for opportunities to subtly start a debate in your comment section. This is going to drive some more engagement and boost your content in the algorithm. All right, so uh there's a couple different ways that you could do this. Number one, um obviously don't rage bait too hard to where it's like, you know, not uh doesn't look good, but also feel free to like stir the pot a little bit, right? Find clever ways to do this that are like subtle. And then you could do this with your own theme page or you could go in with a burner account and like, you know, start some arguments in the comments, right? because if Instagram sees that that people are coming back to like reply to comments, there's like a, you know, war going on in the comment section, like that's just going to push your reel further. Okay, so those are the four organic growth strategies. And then just a couple more bonus tips before we move on is number one, you're going to get access to professional insights once you hit 100 followers. Right? All right. So, this is just sort of a tool that Instagram gives you on your account where you could see some details about your audience like their location, the age range, gender ratio, their most active times, etc. So, this is just helpful. You know, you could see where your audience is from. Ideally, you want to see that they're from first world countries, developed nations, and then also you want to hope that the age range and the gender is matching, you know, your niche and the type of people you're trying to go after, right? [snorts] And then two is style consistency. Okay? So once you pick a niche, you brand your page, you create your content style, stick with it at least 30 days, right? So once you start posting with a specific content style, the ones that we've gone over, maybe it's one of those, maybe it's a different one. Whatever it is, stick with it for 30 days, you know, that's going to give Instagram enough time to like understand your content, what it's like, what type of people might be engaging with it, and they'll send it out to the right people and give it a chance, right? Whereas, if you change it after just like a few days, just because you feel like it, you know, it's not even giving Instagram a chance to see what's going to work. All right? So, don't make emotional decisions just because you think something looks cooler or because you had one reel which flopped. It's important to give the algorithm enough time to understand your content and who to show it to. That way, you can make logical decisions based on real data. Right? So, you do a proper sort of test period. After that test period, logically you take a look, see what's working, what's not working, and then you make decisions from there. All right? Don't, you know, jump the gun too early and make decisions just based off irrational reasons. All right. So, now that we've gone over content growth, let's dive more into a little bit more depth on how to convert as many followers as possible from your content. All right. So, at this point, you should be pumping out some new content on a daily basis. And this is what's going to put your page out there. you're going to begin attracting some attention, some viewers, and also converting followers. But there's also a couple things that we can do on our end in order to enhance that follower conversion process and just get more followers from the same amount of views that we're bringing in. All right, so there's just a couple things. Let's dive into the first one, which is the pinned comment method. So, for this one, once you notice that one of your reels is beginning to get some traction, some momentum is kind of blowing up and just performing above average, what you could do is go to the comment section on either your account or a burner account. And a burner account is just like another account that you have that you use to like like and comment on your own uh content and leave a comment similar to these right here. Right? So, for example, this one, the best thing I did this month was follow this page. And then what you could do is go back to it and pin it, right? Go and pin this comment and reply to it with a heart or something like this guy. Then this guy also uh dropped his own comment. He said, "If you mess with these edits, make sure to drop a follow because we're cooking bangers every day." Um, so obviously you could make it custom to your niche, but if this was like a health niche, just say, "If you learn something new, make sure to drop a follow because we're um pumping out new content every day or uh, you know, spreading awareness about health every day." That's another example. And then this is the same account that we saw earlier. This said, "Followed paid your pay your editor more. These are awesome." And then this person replied, right? And they pinned it at the top. So, what happens when you pin at the top is it just shows up to the top of the comment section so that everyone who actually checks the comment section will see that um comment since it's pinned at the top and it will motivate many people to follow who wouldn't have otherwise. Right? This obviously doesn't mean everyone's going to go follow your page as soon as they see this. But these right here are little subconscious cues, right? Right? These are subconscious messages that if someone is, you know, if they see a post that they like and they go to the comment section, they see that other people like like the content and even followed, they might even end up following without even realizing and going on to the next reel, right? So, it's a subconscious cue. And again, this is not going to bring in millions of followers, but it could help convert more than you would have if you didn't have this type of pinned comment. Okay? Um, and then you also have the option to edit the caption as well and put a follow CTA in the top line once you see a real popping off. So, with this method here, you're either leaving a comment yourself and then pinning it and replying to it or um yeah, exactly that. Or what you could do is go back into the caption because once you make a post with a caption, you could actually go back and edit the caption and you could change the top line to a follow CTA. Something as simple as this, right? That way, everyone who's scrolling will see this at on the first line and even if they don't tap open the comment uh caption. Yeah, even if they don't tap open the caption and read all of it, even if they don't go into the comment section, they're still seeing it right here, right? So, it could help just increase some follower conversion. It's a simple subconscious cue. So, that's number one that could help, especially if you get a reel that gets like, you know, 500K, 1 million, 5 million views. A little adjustment like this, like literally going back and doing a little um follow CTA, whether it's in the caption or in the comment section, can bring you like hundreds, if not thousands of extra followers just from this little method. So, I really suggest you do it. Uh, for other like regular reels, it's not going to make too big of a difference, but for the ones that I mentioned are like performing above average, I suggest it. Now, something else that you could do is utilize trial reels. All right, so a lot of you maybe have heard of trial reels but don't know what it means, or maybe some of you haven't even ever heard of it, but essentially, uh, trial reels are only shown to nonfollowers, right? So, they're just like reels, but they're only shown to non-f followers, whereas regular reels are shown to some followers and mostly non-followers, as we went over earlier. All right. And also, this feature is most people get access to it when they cross 1,000 followers. And it would look something like this. Like, right before you press share, you're going to see like a little toggle here where you could change it to a trial re, right? So, this means it doesn't show up like on your main reels feed. it shows up into like a separate feed for trial reels specifically and it only gets shown to non followers. And also keep in mind that some pages never get access to this and others get access to it even earlier. So it's just an inconsistent feature amongst Instagram pages. Uh Instagram has a couple features like that like broadcast channels and um a couple others. But uh just you'll have to check yourself to see if you have it. I have access to it on like half of my accounts, but then on the other half I don't have access to it even though I've crossed the 10,000 follower threshold. And then I have also spoken with people who have like 100 followers and they have access to it. So, uh there's really no set in stone sort of criteria. It's like Instagram says it's 1,000 followers, but that's not necessarily the case, right? So, just check yourself, see if I have access to it. So, the whole benefit of trial reels, the reason why they're important and the reason I'm bringing them up is because they allow you to increase posting volume with minimal additional effort. Okay? And let me explain exactly how. So, with regular reels, like without trials, this is what it would look like. You know, you go through the content creation process that we've already kind of gone over depending on your specific template that you chose. And once you create the reel, you post it, right? And that's it. And then it's like, okay, that's it. Now you're on to the next reel. So you're getting one pretty much one output from that work of creating that reel. Whereas with trial reels, what you can do is get multiple like for example four different outputs from the same amount of work. Maybe a little bit of extra work, right? So let's just say you have the original reel like this just as is. But then what you could do is post this as your regular reel, but then go back and edit it afterwards and maybe change the subtitles, like change a different to a different font, right? Or a different style of the subtitles, the ones that come up on the screen. And then you could download that one and post it as a trial re, right? Then you could go back and keep the same subtitles, but maybe use a different hook, right? So just change this here to something else that you're exper experimenting with or testing with that maybe you think will do better. and then post this as a trial reel. And then you could go back and then do the same thing, but just use a different background music, like a different audio, and post that as a trial rail. And now what you've done is from essentially the same amount of work, maybe just a little bit extra because you have to go back and change a couple things, you're getting you're getting four total posts now rather than one post, right? And keep in mind, you still get views from trial reels. You can still get followers. You still even have the potential to go viral with trial reels, right? So that's why I suggest posting um like for example multiple different versions of the same reel, one of them into your main feed. That way you're not like being repetitive to your actual followers and then you could post like two or three others into trial reels. All right, by just changing little things. You can't post the exact same um duplicate video as a real and a trial reel, but it will let you change like little details like this, right? So that way by just a little extra work and going back and changing it and then redownloading it, you now have like four different versions of the content rather than just one, right? So logically you should be able to grow three or four times faster if you're posting three or four times more. Okay? And also since you could easily isolate different variables, you could also split test and track the data to see what's working, right? So, for example, you know, these are different uh variables here, like different subtitles, maybe the font or a different hook. Maybe you could copy the same exact hook from a competitor on one and then like change it a little bit on a different one. Or maybe you could just use a different audio. And you could go back and like kind of look at all the data, which we're going to go over how to do in a second, and it will allow you to see what's working best, right? Because when you're testing multiple things, you could actually most likely find patterns on things that are performing better than if you hadn't tracked it. All right. So, those are the two things that I suggest that you guys do in order to increase follower conversion, right? And just kind of speed up the growth process. It's the pinned comment strategy or changing the caption and then the trial reels as well, right? So, now that we've gone over that, let's go over how to double down, right? Because most people when they're growing their page, they only get like maybe one viral reel and they get some initial momentum, but then it drops back down to like a few thousand views and they're barely getting any followers and then they are right back to being stuck to being complacent, right? We don't want that. We want for when we get a viral reel to immediately understand why it went viral and how to double down on it, how to capitalize off of it, right? By understanding why that reel went viral and doing more of it, right? not copying it and just duplicating it, but doing more of what is similar to what has worked, right? What's been proven to work. So that's what we're going to go over right now. This is exactly how you double down. All right? So for doubling down, there's three main steps involved. All right? And those steps are one to identify outliers or reels that are performing above average. two, to reverse engineer these reels and understand why they went viral, why they performed well, why they resonated with your niche more compared to like other reels. And then three, once we understand it better, the different variables at play and how we could do more of it, then we double down and we do more of what's been proven to work, that way we could go viral more predictably and more consistently, right? Rather than just getting a one-off reel and not being able to do it again. Okay, so let's go go to step one, which is how to identify the type of content which performs best on your page. So this is all about obtaining data. All right, and what I want you guys to do is identify the highest performing pieces of content that you've posted over the last 90 days. Okay, so for example, if you've just started posting and you only have like, you know, a dozen or a couple dozen reels up there, you know, you don't really have enough data to work with and maybe nothing's really taken off or performed yet, right? So, if you're in that stage, it's just all about volume, right? Post more and try to increase the quality of the content that you're posting each time. And later down the line, once you do have more volume, once you have like, you know, several dozen posts up, then you kind of have enough data to work with. Maybe once you're above like 30, 35, above 40 posts, that's when you have enough data to work with. And at that point, you're most likely going to have some above average reels, some outliers, and that's when you could begin employing this process. Okay? And I also want to clarify what I mean by highest performing, right? Because you might be asking or thinking to yourself, you know, what what does high performing even mean? Like what qualifies a reel as high performing? So here are the metrics that you essentially want to look at. It's the views, the follows, and the shares. Okay? So views is the least important of these three, but if you have a specific reel that's generating you significantly more followers compared to your other reels or is getting significantly more shares compared to your other reels, that's what we want to see, right? because that means, you know, these are moving the needle. These are doing a great service to our page, our page's growth. So, that's what we want to track more specifically is the specific reels that are outliers when it comes to the followers and shares because that's what matters at the end of the day more than views. Okay? And you can this you can look this up manually just by scrolling through your page and like, you know, looking through it yourself. But there's a much more efficient way to do this which I'm going to break down right now how to check. Most people don't know uh that this even exists on Instagram. So, first up, you're going to want to go to the hamburger icon in the top right of your profile. Then, you're going to scroll and look for insights. Click that. Then, click on content you shared right here. And then, what's going to happen is Instagram is going to give you a dashboard of all of the content that you've posted and allow you to filter it through time period and a specific metric, right? So, for the time period, you could do in the last 30 days or the last 90 days, like last 3 months. And for the metric, you could filter it to how many followers that how many follows that you got from the reel and how many shares that you got from the reel, right? They have more options that you could filter through, but this is what I suggest actually paying attention to. Okay? And it'll look something like this. So, it'll come up with like a dashboard of your content listed out like this, similar to how it would look on your actual profile feed, but it gives you these toggles up here where you could press and select the time period. So, I suggest doing 30 days or 3 months. and then sort and filter where you could sort by highest amount of follows or highest amount of shares. Okay? And it will tell you. So this is very helpful because that way you know we don't have to like scroll through it manually. We could kind of just like filter it and find exactly what we're looking for with these filters, right? It's the quickest way to do it. And then also once you do do this, I want you to select five to 10 pieces of content to analyze in depth. Right? So obviously again if you're in the earlier stage maybe you only have like three outlier pieces of content that have performed above average and have done really well. So in that case just analyze those ones in depth. Or maybe you're watching this and you've already posted you know lots more. Maybe you've already posted like um a couple hundred times and you have five to 10 pieces that have gone viral. In that case, perfect. Analyze those ones. No matter what number it is specifically, just figure out which pieces of content that you've posted have been outliers and performed above average and then take those to the next step that we're going to go over right now. All right, so this is how you identify the viral content. And now once we've identified it, now we have to reverse engineer why these specific pieces of content performed well. Right? So this is all about understanding and analyzing the data now since we've obtained it. Right? With that being said, this is super important to understand. High performing content doesn't happen on accident, right? It doesn't happen on accident. Instagram didn't just like wake up one day and say, "Oh, you know, look at this guy. He posted. Let's just push out his piece of content." That's not how Instagram thinks. There's always a very logical and rational reason as to why the content performed well. Always a reason, right? Not sometimes, always a reason. And it's our job as creators to understand the reason or reasons as to why Instagram pushed out our content, right? It would be, let's just say, irresponsible as a creator to see a real on our page go viral and not do our due diligence to take the time and really not on a surface level try and think why it went viral, but to really sit there and peel back the layers and understand exactly precisely why it went viral. If we could do that for each piece of content that performs above average, not only on our page, but on other people's pages, it gives us that knowledge and that skill of the different patterns that contribute towards high performance for these reels, right? And how you do that the most effective way is simply just by asking yourself questions about the reel, right? So, for example, let's just say you posted a reel, got 3 million views, thousands of followers, tons of shares, and this was an outlier on your page. You know, you should be asking yourself these questions about that reel. And obviously the questions that you ask yourself are going to depend on the style of content, right? But let's just say it was a subtitle re real, right? We could ask, what made people stop scrolling when they came across this reel? What emotion did it trigger in the viewer? Why did others watch it to the end? Right? Because if it performed well, obviously there's people, a good contingent of them who've watched a lot of it or to the end. What made people comment or share? And also, how can I repeat this in my own unique way? Right? All right, so these are examples of questions that you could ask. And keep in mind, as I mentioned, this does depend on your specific niche, content style, and content format, like whether it's reals, posts, or carousels, right? So, these are pretty standard questions that you should be able to apply to yourself, but keep in mind you might need to like ask different questions depending on your content style. Okay? But ones that you could always ask, for example, is like, what made people stop scrolling? You know, if a high performing piece of content is there, something about it made people stop scrolling. So understanding that is like one of the most important questions. So with that being said, answering these questions about your top performing content will help you better understand the why they performed well in the first place, right? Understanding this why is going to be so key because if you could understand the why, that means you could do it again in the future, right? So seek to identify patterns, right? Especially if you have multiple high performing pieces of content at this point, you want to really understand what these outliers have in common. if anything, right? So, there are always blatant patterns. Not always, but sometimes there are, and you wouldn't have known unless you really analyzed and looked deep for them. All right? And we could do that ourselves, of course, but we've got to utilize AI, right? As we have been all the way up until now. AI makes our life a whole lot easier, a lot more efficient. And for example, it's a lot better at, you know, humans are better at lots of things, but AI is a lot better at like analyzing data, discovering patterns, and coming up with insights from it, right? So, we want to utilize it. And here's what we could do. We could copy and paste all the questions and responses into chat GPT and ask it to analyze them for any significant insights. Right? So all the questions that we ask ourselves about the different pieces of viral content, we could then feed all of that data to chat GPT and then they can give us some insight with it. Right? So here's a big boy prompt right here that you guys could screenshot if you'd like. Um essentially you're just going to give this prompt to chat GPT or any AI and say, "Hey, you're acting like a senior Instagram growth strategist. Analyze my top performing reels." And then what what you could do is just give context about your page, your niche, your target audience and then just paste in your uh analysis of the viral piece of content and then it's just going to kind of identify the patterns, understand what's actually driving the high performance, give some insight, etc. All right, so this should be this should be super super helpful. I really suggest that you guys use this because again us humans are decent at identifying patterns. some people better than others, but AI always pulls through or most of the time it does with this type of stuff. All right, so I suggest it. Now, once you have a deeper understanding of why specific pieces of content have performed well, you're able to do more of it and go viral more consistently and predictably. That's the whole goal, right? This is why we're doing this because again, we don't want to be one of those people who just gets a viral reel and then we get some momentum for a few days, we're happy, we're seeing the numbers, but then it just fizzles out and we're back to like, you know, average reels, even below average reels and things comp uh get stuck and stagnate again. We don't want that. We want to be able to go viral and then analyze it and then do it again and again and again and again. That's how you see these pages blowing up to like, you know, hundreds of thousands of followers, thousands of followers a day. It's because they know how to do this. All right. And this way, we're not just guessing, you know, we're simply taking the data that Instagram gives us on exactly what performs well and what our viewers and followers want to see in real time. And then we're using the insights from this data to double down on what's been proven to work. All right? So, that's key. That way, we're not just like irrationally, you know, emotionally making decisions on like what we think might perform well. We're simply taking a look at the data. We're taking a look at what Instagram has told us in real time has performed well and what our audience wants to see. We're evaluating that data and we're making logical decisions based off of it for what we could do in the future. That's how you go viral consistently and predictably. All right. So, now that we've obtained all of the data, we've analyzed it and understood it. Now, the question is how we can employ this properly for our specific page and our specific niche to double down and do more of what we've seen to be proven to work. Right? So this comes down to replicating the content. Okay. So just to summarize, doubling down means strategically replicating what's been proven to work without becoming too repetitive. All right? So you don't want to just copy and paste the same thing over and over again and like you know make your audience bored and you know to the point where they could like expect what each of your reels is going to look like. We don't want that. But we do want to take the pillars and the elements and the concepts of the high performing reels and strategically replicate these in a way where it isn't repetitive. Right? That way we get the best of both worlds. We're doing more of what's been proven to work so we could go more viral, but we're also keeping our audience engaged and happy and not spamming them. Right? So now that you've analyzed your high performing content and better understand what caused the result, you could replicate it over and over again. Right? Now, it's also really really important to double down fast. Right? Act with speed. Speed is very important. And when something works and you're seeing it works, it's going viral, it's performing really well, you want to exploit that window before momentum dies down. Okay? And the reason this is important is because there's something called the momentum window on Instagram. It lasts between 3 to 14 days. And after a piece of content goes viral on your page, there's going to be a short period of 3 to 14 days typically where new content is more likely to get pushed out. old content is given another chance to get pushed out. And three, more overall engagement comes to your page, right? So, the thing is when you get a viral reel, Instagram sees that, you know, obviously they've given you a chance. They pushed you out there and then they kind of they give you a good chance. They're like, "Okay, we've seen this guy. He's gone viral. Obviously, there's something that he's doing that's working. You know, let's let's give him a little boost temporarily and see whether he can capitalize off it and keep more people on the platform." Like that's kind of what's going on in Instagram's mind, right? So, you want to exploit this, right? We're going to go over how to do that in a second. So, with this being said, if you get a viral reel and your follow-up content performs well, the window is going to stay open for a longer period of time, maybe more towards those 14 days. Whereas, if your follow-up content underperforms, like after you get a viral reel and then you post like other content which isn't optimized, it's not as high quality, and because that doesn't perform as well, then the window is going to close sooner. It's like Instagram kind of is going to give you that chance, but if they see that you're not, you know, taking advantage of it properly, then they're not gonna extend the window and give you more chances, if that makes sense. Okay? So, it's super important to follow up on it properly. And as I mentioned, you want to exploit this momentum window, right? You want to do everything in your power to take advantage of this extra boost that you're getting from the algorithm. So, the simplest thing to do here is increase volume, right? So, if you're posting two times per day, for example, if it's possible you for you to get up to four times per day, it's going to be even better because if you have this short period of time where Instagram is like really pushing you more, like the more volume you put out, as long as you're not sacrificing quality, super super important right there, that's going to help speed everything up, right? Because then you're just kind of giving more and more chances for Instagram to push out your content, to show it to new people, to get new followers, and also have the potential to go viral again and, you know, restart this window. That's kind of what we want here. And it's also really important to not pivot, right? This is not the time to pivot. Right? After you get a viral reel, you see something's working. You see there's certain patterns there. You know, again, don't make irrational emotional decisions and do something different that you think might work or something that you think looks cool. That's not the time to do that, right? If you're stuck and you want to experiment, sure, do it then. But once you see something is working, double down on it, right? No excuses, no justifications or rationale. Just double down. do more of what you've seen been proven to work and then later down the line you could test some more things if you genuinely think it might work. Okay, so don't pivot. Now, the last thing I want to mention here is doubling down properly is literally the difference between just getting one viral piece of content, good growth for a few days, maybe a week, and then just back to being stuck and stagnant and not making any significant progress or moving the needle versus getting five viral pieces of content in a short window of time. great growth for the matter of weeks, if not months, and going viral consistently and predictably, exponential growth. Doubling down and knowing this process and employing it the way I've described it in these three steps is the difference between this and this. Obviously, we want this right here. All right? So, I know it might take a little bit of time to like really sit there and analyze your content in depth and peel back the layers and it might seem tedious, but it's super super important to do this every once in a while so that you could really better understand your page, your niche, what's doing well, why it's doing well, and do more of it, right? That's how you see these pages getting again millions of followers, hundreds of thousands of followers, up to thousands of followers a day. It's because they know this process. Okay, so yeah, that's everything that you need to know regarding the whole doubling down process. Now, with that being said, let's move on to the next module. All right, now welcome to module five, one of the most important sections in this entire free course, which I'm sure a lot of you are looking forward to. Now, let's just dive straight into it. This is going to be going over how to monetize attention because at this point, you've set up your page properly. You've grown it by posting viral content. This is what's bringing in the views, the followers, allowing you to grow an audience. And as you're doing this, you could convert that attention that you're getting on your page, the views, followers, and audience into income in multiple different ways. And we're going to be going over these different methods, these different mechanisms in this section. I'll be diving into depth, explaining what they are, how they work. Some of these you may have heard of in the past, others maybe you haven't. All right, regardless, let's just dive straight into it. So, the first mechanism that we'll be going over is newsletters. All right. And I know a lot of people when they first hear about the idea of using newsletters to monetize on Instagram, it kind of comes as a surprise to them because it's just not a word that they hear thrown around a lot in this sort of context. And they're a bit under the radar right now, but they're very, very effective. And there's so many benefits to having a newsletter across from your theme page. And we're going to start diving into them right now. And this is also something that you're going to continue seeing more and more as time goes on, especially if you start paying attention. All right. Now, here are some of the core benefits to running an email newsletter across your theme page, right? So, kind of running them at the same time and using the page as a source of traffic to direct towards newsletter. All right, so the core benefits are one, there's multiple income sources with newsletters. We're going to dive deeper into like what those are and how they work in just a moment here, but to summarize, they're called boosts, which is suggested signups. There is email ads that get sent out in your emails. And also you could do paid subscriptions, which I'll go over in a second. And also you could use this email list as a means of email marketing um to whatever product or something else that you're trying to sell later down the line. All right? So you have leverage in that sense. Also, AI does a lot of the heavy lifting here. So we're not going to be sitting down ourselves coming up with ideas for emails to write and like writing them out ourselves. AI could contribute to like 90 to 95% of the work here, especially when you prompt it the right way and you know how to train it. So, it's not something that actually takes a lot of time on our end, but the upsides are huge. We'll be going over into that. We'll be going into that in a second here. Now, also, the audience doesn't have to spend any money for a couple ways of how you monetize these newsletters, right? So, this is something that again surprises a lot of people. They think that in order to monetize a theme page, they have to like sell something to their audience. Some people don't want to do that. Some people do. But this method right here with newsletters, there's ways that you can monetize within it without your audience having to spend any money. You get paid from other sources, which may sound confusing right now, but I'll dive into that uh right after this and explaining how it works. And the last portion here is very importantly that it builds trust and a connection with your audience, right? So obviously with your content on Instagram, it'll get your audience to know who you are and maybe like you, but they don't necessarily trust you. You have to go a layer deeper than that, right? And having this email newsletter allows you to educate this audience, provide value to them, build a connection with them, and ultimately get them to trust you a lot more. Start building like not just followers, but like an engaged fan base for your page. And it's a lot more easy and efficient to do this through email newsletter rather than just content. There's other ways to do this as well, directly through Instagram, which we'll be going over, but here are just some of the main core benefits for newsletters. There's even more, but these are the ones that I wanted to fit into here. All right, now that we understand what they are and the benefits, let's go over how it works specifically, right? Especially if this is a new topic for you guys. This will be super helpful to understand. So, number one, we use this platform that's called Beehive. All right, this is what's going to allow us to do everything else that I'm going to run you through in this whole newsletter step. And there's other tools that are similar to Beehive that are out there. Although just from my experience, from everyone that I've spoke with in this industry, Beehive is just the place to be. Super powerful tool and it's going to allow you to do everything that I'm going to run through in just a moment here. All right. Now, the first step is to set up a landing page. Okay. So, this is an example of what one would look like. This is essentially just a place that your viewers go to submit their email, right? And I'll explain in a second how this is going to be the most effective way to do it. But um you can see this page right here. This is Kingdom Mentality. This is actually one of my clients. His name is Brandon. So when you see his bio, there's a link. And if you click that, it brings it to this landing page where it just says, you know, get your free XYZ and join to also receive XYZ. And then you put in your email here. All right. Now, this is another client of mine, Elitia. Um you know, you could see she's in the women independence niche and women empowerment niche. And if you click your link here brings you right here. And I'll explain why they're giving away something for free in just a moment here. Also, this page undercover uncover AI uh you could see this is where their this is what their landing page looks like. And then also in this niche with is which is the health niche. This is what their landing page looks like. All right. So this is essentially that uh page that your viewers go to when signing up to your newsletter, right? To your email list. Okay. Then the next thing that you're going to want to do is set up monetization. All right? And you do this again all through Beehive, right? So you set up the landing page through Beehive. They have a web builder. It's very easy to use. And you also set up monetization through Beehive. And they connect Stripe as the payment processing. All right? Now, I don't believe every single country in the world has access to Stripe, but if you're in a first world country, you're all right. And even some other second, third world countries have it as well. But this is how uh this is the best option to connect it with for your payment processing in Beehive. All right. Now, let's dive a little bit deeper into the specific monetization methods to set up within Beehive. So, the first one to understand is what's called boosts. All right. These are called email boosts. And this is where you could get paid by your viewers signing up to suggested newsletters in after signing up to your uh newsletter. Right? So, this is one of those methods that the audience doesn't have to spend any money in order for you to make money, right? Because you're getting paid by these other newsletters who pay people like you in order to drive extra traffic to their newsletter. All right? So, I know that might sound a little confusing, but let me just break this down. All right? So, back to Brandon here. Let's say he's promoting his newsletter or in fact, he's pro promoting a free prayer guide, right? We're going to go over again the reason why he's doing this in a second. So then people click on this, they put in their email, they press submit and then they get prompted with some recommendations here, right? It says Kingdom mentality also recommends these newsletters and the audience has the ability to select these one by one or even press subscribe to all, which is super helpful. And what happens if they do this is you'll get paid between$1 to $5 per suggested signup, right? And again, the viewer isn't paying you. These newsletters have a budget and they are willing to pay people like us to drive extra traffic to their newsletter, right? And obviously you want these suggested ones to be related to your niche, right? Because if your niche is like, you know, faith like Brandon's is and you're promoting like, you know, sports or like gambling or something that's bad, like that obviously doesn't make any sense. But you could see some of these here. This says coffee with my father. It's a Christian devotional newsletter offering hope. So this is something that actually would align with his audience. So the better, more aligned you could find these opportunities, the higher the conversion will be. And again, Beehive offers these opportunities to to you within the platform. So you don't have to go and reach out to these other companies in order to uh suggest them. Okay? So $1 to5 per signup. And then also if someone subscribes to all of them, you mean you can make it allows you to select like five to six, right? So you can make, you know, 10 to 20 bucks just from one person, which is crazy. [snorts] Now keep in mind this is a verified subscriber, right? So, not just like some bot email. And also, here's an example of what another one looks like. So, you go here, you sign up, and then you see suggested signups, right? So, that's sort of the boosts monetization method. That's just one. The next one is sponsorships and ads. All right. So, this is another one where your viewers don't have to spend any money on you and you could still monetize. So, essentially, these are little like ad placements within the emails themselves. So, with the newsletter, you'll likely be sending like an email a week or twice a week. Again, AI will help with all this work. And within Beehive, you have the opportunity to see different uh promotion or sponsors or ads that you can request and if approved, you could use them on your email in a placement somewhere throughout the email and you get paid around like a dollar or $2 per click, right? So, just for some math, if you have a,000 subscribers, 1% click, that's like, you know, 10 people I believe. So, if you get a dollar per click, that's like $10 um per email, right? And that's only if you have a thousand subscribers. So, that's another way that you could monetize. And then also, you could promote products on your email list as well. So, this is super effective and I'll go over it like why in a second, but if you have this email list of like nurtured people who already trust you and you're monetizing through these ways, you also have the opportunity to direct them elsewhere. So this is a health page here and you know at the end of an email after providing value and educating they say if you're looking to improve your digestive health and support a balanced gut we highly recommend parodym supplements you know their range of blah blah blah. So it's it's some sort of supplement, right? So I assume this is like some sort of product that they get affiliate commission for, right? It's an audience that actually solves the problems of the audience. Okay? Now, the last way is a paid subscription, right? So this is where your viewer has the opportunity to not only sign up to your free newsletter and your free email list, but they could upgrade to like a exclusive one, right? This is a feature that Beehive offers. So, here's again one of my clients who is offering one for $2 a month. And I know that he actually makes like an extra 500, 600 bucks a month just based off of this paid subscription right here because he has 300 people signed up to it, right? So, he's getting $600 passively each month that he dedicates towards back to his page, right? That way he could continue providing value and, you know, automate some sorts of things and grow the business, right? So that's just like an extra, you know, source of income from your audience who really supports you and wants to give back. All right. Now, these are the main ways to monetize your newsletter. And you can do all of them at the same time, which is super cool. So, now that we've gone over how it works, like the concept of it, let's go over how to actually promote the newsletter. All right. Now, here's a pro tip. Instead of promoting your newsletter directly, instead you should promote a lead magnet or freebie. All right? Right? And if you don't know what these mean, this is essentially like a a free product or some sort of free value to your audience, right? Because so ultimately give your audience something for free in exchange for their email. This is going to increase conversion and also build trust and a connection with the audience. So the reason that you're doing this, you're promoting a lead magnet or something for free rather than just your newsletter directly is simply because it's much more attractive. Right? Right? If I were to come to you and say, "Hey, you know, sign up to my newsletter for XYZ." Or if I came to you and said, "Hey, here's this free thing that solves a problem that you have. I'm going to give it to you for free. It does this, this, and this. All you have to do is um plug in your email and you'll also get access to X, Y, and Z." That's a lot more attractive in the eyes of your viewer compared to just promoting a boring newsletter directly, right? So, instead, you're going to promote something for free and then in exchange, they're going to give you your their email. Okay. And like I said, this increases conversion, makes people more likely to put in their email, and also builds trust and a connection with your audience because you're giving them something for free and providing value to them. All right. Now, here is what that would look like back at, you know, the landing page. What you could do is, you know, say it in the top line here, get your free 21 prayer guide below. And then he also says, join now and also receive our powerful weekly devotional straight to your inbox. All right? So, this is a perfect way to frame it. That way, you're emphasizing what they're getting for free, but also giving some context of what they're getting themselves into and how they'll continue receiving value as time goes on, right? And then same for this one right here. Uh, claim your free guide below and join the Female Evolution newsletter to start creating a life on your own terms, right? So, it's a lot more attractive to sign up and get something for free rather than just, you know, signing up to a newsletter for the heck of it, right? So, that's how you can increase conversions. Now, what you're going to want to do is market your lead magnet to make your audience aware of what it is and why they should want it. Okay, that is the conceptual way to think about it. Now, in terms of creating the lead magnet, I want you to reference the next section about digital product creation because the way that you go about it is very similar. Okay? And also keep in mind, here are some examples, right? We'll be going over some more, but you know, he's in the faith niche, my client here, and he gives a free 21-day prayer guide away, right? So, obviously, you want to make it related to your niche. And then this is like the woman empowerment niche. So, it's like the independence roadmap. So, something that would actually be attractive to the audience, but also keep in mind if you're in a niche that, let me just put it this way, wallpaper packs are one of the most effective lead magnets to use for this purpose. So obviously depending on your niche, maybe you could use that idea or not. But if you're in a niche where a wallpaper pack could make sense, it's very very effective because it it just yields the highest conversion in the sense that people see lots of value from a wallpaper pack because they don't have to like put in much much effort in order to get value from it. If that makes sense. It's like immediate results, right? They see a wallpaper pack, they see a wallpaper that they could have on their home screen or their lock screen, like they quickly download it, they could immediately use it and immediately enjoy it without having to do some work, right? So that is a lot more attractive in general and yields higher conversion compared to like a free 21 day day prayer guide. Even though it's attractive, like you know, people subconsciously know they'll have to actually get the prayer guide and like, you know, execute on it and follow the directions. So there's more effort associated with it, which unfortunately lowers conversion, right? So even though this is something that would help people, not as many people would take action on this compared to like a wallpaper pack, for example. So that's just a quick bonus for you guys. If that works within your niche, great. I suggest it. I have it on a couple of my pages to get newsletter subscribers and it works really, really well. Okay, now that we've gone over the idea of marketing this free product, let's go over how you do this specifically, right? How you promote it. Now, you're going to want to use a combination of CTAs, call to actions, and many chat. All right, so if you don't know what ManyHat is, everyone should at this point. It is a email or sorry, an Instagram DM automation tool, right? So, this essentially makes your life so much easier in the sense that you don't have to manually like have conversations with your viewers in order to give them access to something. It will automatically do it based off stimulus, right? So if someone comments a keyword, if someone replies to your story a keyword, if someone even follows you, ManyHat will automatically contact this person and give them access to what they're looking for. That way you don't have to go through and do it manually. And also it's instant. Okay, so super powerful tool. I suggest all you guys get it set up at some point, especially when you're in this monetization phase. Okay, it's free at the beginning and also uh they have paid plans of course which you could upgrade to later down the line ideally when you're monetizing and also I didn't mention this earlier but with Beehive again you could start for free at the beginning but also there is a paid plan that you'll upgrade to once you start actually monetizing with their features. Okay, but here are the specific ways that you can do it um how you could actually drive traffic and promote your lead magnet. Right? So, reals CTAs, carousel CTA, link and bio CTA, new follower message, broadcast channel CTA, and story sequence CTA. Now, you might be seeing this and be a little bit confused. So, let's just go over a couple examples. So, if we look right here, this is a real from Female Evolution, the page that we were just taking a look at. And you know, as soon as this reel started going viral and performing, you'll see that she actually employed the um edit caption strategy where she went to the top of the caption and said, "Comment guide, and I'll DM you my free checklist to start building life on your own terms." And what you'll see is a ton of people in the comment section commenting guide. Right now, if Many Chat is set up properly, it will contact them once they comment guide and send them, for example, hey there, click the button below to get the link to my free guide. And you could customize this message however you see fit, even this button right here. And then once they click get it now, then it takes them to this landing page that we already set up. So all they have to do in order to get access to the free guide is just put in their email and boom, they get access and you know also more value in the future from your newsletter. Okay, so that is just an example of what the workflow would look like. So keep in mind like if you have a reel that goes viral and you have this automation set up and you tell your audience to comment keyword, you might find hundreds or even thousands of people commenting your keyword and checking out your free product without you having to do anything without lifting a single button because content is like a machine that works for you 24/7 and automation is a AI tool which also works for you 247. So you know you don't even have to like do anything to get people signed up to your newsletter. So this is really where this starts to become high leverage. All right. Now, another way is the carousels CTA. So again, carousels are something that most people get into once they start growing more. Um, but if you're at a stage where you're implementing them, this is something that you could do. All right. So let's just say you start off a carousel and you just keep it the regular content that you usually post. As the last slide, what you could do is have some sort of graphic that in this case says, "Comment, amen." and we'll send you our free 21-day prayer guide plus weekly devotionals, right? And then if you check the comment section, you'll see again plenty of people commenting, "Amen." And you could also set up the automation to even respond to each person, which is pretty cool, right? It, you know, increases that relationship with your audience. And then again, once they comment amen, they'll get an automatic message like here is our free 21-day prayer guide that you asked for. To claim it, just click on the button and enter your email address when prompted, and we'll send it right over to you. Right? Then you click claim my free guide and it takes you to the landing page. Okay, so here's another example of the workflow and another way you could drive traffic. Okay, another one which is really really powerful is the new follower message. Okay, so every time you get a new follower, what Instagram can do is contact the person. It doesn't have to be immediately. You can make it like 5 minutes, 10 minutes, a few hours, but it will contact the person and it could say something like this. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Motivation Society. I want to give you a completely free gift as a thank you for following. Want to check it out? They say yes, send it over. And then it will send them something like this. You can customize it, of course. Here's our free exclusive wallpaper pack. It's stacked with high quality wallpapers for your NB for of your favorite NBA players to claim it. Just XYZ, right? Access here. And then it takes it them to the landing page. Okay? So each time you get a new follower, it could send them this and you could automate driving traffic, right? So again, think about the scale of this. If you get a viral reel and you start getting thousands of followers a day, thousands of people are getting this message a day and a certain percentage of them are actually converting and joining your email list and signing up to the boost like you could grow this newsletter and you can um start monetizing like again completely passively just with this system that works for you. Okay. Now, keep in mind obviously you want to be careful when contacting like a brand new viewer because it's a first impression. So, this is why we're not wanting to sell them on something right off the bat. Like imagine following someone and immediately they're reaching out and saying, "Hey, want to buy this product?" Of course, we wouldn't, right? They're brand new. They haven't built any trust. But if you're giving to them something for free, it's actually it's actually great. It's a good first impression, right? Like, think about it. Like, if you just follow a page and they reach out to you saying, "Hey, welcome, you know, welcome to this movement. I want to give you a completely free gift as a thank you." It's like it's actually a a a green flag rather than a red flag. So, that's why I suggest it. And also there's other ways like you know obviously having a link in your bio broadcast channels which we'll go over a little bit later also posting it on your stories you know these are all things that you could get set up and all of these work together right all of these work together in order to just get new email signups right you see it's all leading to the same place so again I'm sure you can imagine the scale of having all of these work in unison especially as you're growing and going viral and having lots of momentum mean you could drive a lot of traffic to the newsletter Okay. Now, here also just some screenshots. I want to include some screenshots for each monetization method that I'm going over just to kind of bring the receipts and show that I actually know what I'm talking about and I've done this. So, here are just some screenshots you could see from some earnings and some payouts from Beehive um to see that this actually works. All right. Now, again, I don't want to show this and say like, oh, you could expect these results right away. That's not the case, but this is just to show you what's possible and inspire you. Okay. Now that we've gone over the first method, which is newsletters, let's dive into digital products. Now, when it comes to monetizing with digital products, this is something that is typically more well-known compared to monetizing with newsletters, for example. You know, you may have seen other people talk about these in the past or seen other people actively selling digital products online. It's just one of those very wellproven ways to monetize online in general, right? And with theme pages, they have a lot of potential. Now, a lot of people, this is something they tried themselves and didn't see success with because they just put like a generic like copy paste chat GBT ebook together and they think that that's what's going to, you know, get sales on their page. That's not how you do it the right way, right? So, a lot of people try that and then it doesn't work and they think digital products just doesn't work as a whole. That's not the case. They're very, very effective if done the right way. So, that's what we're going to go over today in this section here. And then also when it comes to combining these different monetization methods, I want you to keep that in mind because this is going to tie into the newsletter that we just discussed right before this. And also in general, these different monetization methods that we'll be going over in this module, you could mix and match them and you could be running them and actively monetizing with multiple sources all at the same time. You're not restricted to just one way of monetizing, which is really great. Now, let's go over the specific core benefits for digital products. All right, and then we'll dive into how it works. So, first off, they're very high leverage. And when I say that, I mean in the sense that you could put your time and energy into creating something once and then you could sell that thing which actually is valuable, which actually provides value to your audience and solve their problems, right? Not some crap product. And you could sell it unlimited amount of times, right? You create it once, you could sell it once, 10 times, 100 times without you having to do any extra work, right? Because it's digital. It gets distributed digitally, right? And you don't have to do any of the extra work. And then also in terms of the profit margins again you know you could just continue making sales and you don't have to uh worry about the headaches which is my next point here which is like holding inventory. You don't have to worry about delivery and customer service and logistics anything like that like you would with physical products. It's just all digital. You have an online store you have an online product and it's distributed digitally without you having to touch anything or do any work. So it removes the headache element. Also, AI does the heavy lifting, like 90 again, 95% of the work here. Uh, obviously, we don't want to just slap together like a crappy copy and paste AI product, but if you know how to prompt the AI the right way and how to actually give it substantial direction to create something of value, it could be very effective and actually contribute to solving problems for your audience. So then the question is like how do you do that effectively? what prompts do you use and you know what structure to have it so that way it actually provides value right and AI could help out with a lot of that then also you could start for $0 so you don't you literally don't need any money to start monetizing off of digital products all you need is a payment processor like again Stripe PayPal there's all these different payment processors and like an online web store and some of them are paid don't get me wrong um fun fact if you have Beehive it hosts the newsletter and you could sell digital products there which is crazy. But then also [snorts] there's other platforms that we'll go over in a second here that allows you to sell digital products literally for free without you having to pay any money which is pretty cool. So there's no barrier to entry here. Now since you understand digital products and I guess why they're important and the type of benefits you could expect, let's go over how they work particularly. Right? So there's a four-step process that allows you to build and monetize off of a high quality digital product. Right? And that's the to ideulate, validate, create, and promote. All right, that's the four-step process. So, get the idea, validate it, make sure it's actually something that your audience wants and needs and would solve a problem for them, and create it, put it together, and then promote it. Make people aware of it and interested in it so that they want to buy it. Right now, let's go into each of these steps in a little bit more depth. So, first off is ideulate. Now, the whole objective of this step here is to understand your audience's problems, pain points, and begin brainstorming ideas for solutions, right? So, you kind of want to look um outside for this step here. You want to get feedback and recognize patterns and really understand your audience and um why they followed you and what type of value you could provide for them, right? and you understand the value you could provide for them when understanding their pain points, what they're struggling with, and how you could solve that problem, right? And [snorts] you could do this by uh posting stories and getting feedback like here where it's like you could post like a open-ended question. What's something that you constantly struggle with when it comes to to XYZ, right? Something geared to your niche and literally just hear out your audience, see what they're telling you. And also something like this, like a open-ended question, why do you follow and then the name of your page? then you could better understand your audience and why they're even there following you in the first place. And this information is super super valuable, right? [snorts] This is probably one of the most important steps of the process because if you like get an idea and you, you know, create it and put take all this time to like promote it, but the idea was never that good to begin with and wasn't something that people wanted and needed, then you're going to waste your time with other steps, right? So, you definitely want to hone in on this step and make sure that you're beginning with the end in mind, right? So, here are like some story examples to get feedback. You could also read your comments. You know, some of them are just like, you know, brain rod and don't add any substance, but some of them may actually be very insightful. So, you could take a look at your comments and it just it allows you to tap into, you know, the mind of your viewer or someone who is in your niche. And just kind of by looking at some insightful comments, you could really understand your type of viewers and your audience and what they're like and what they're feeling or thinking. You could also DM followers, like just reach out to them directly. And I don't suggest just asking him a question off the bat like, "Hey bro, why do you follow me?" I would suggest just like saying, "Hey, um, you know, I appreciate you engaging, reacting with the content, maybe someone who liked one of your recent videos, and then wait for them to reply." They're probably going to be like, "Hey, awesome. Thanks for reaching out." And then you could say, "Also, quick question. I'm not trying to sell you anything, but I'm just curious like what?" And then you could ask them a question, right? And this could help you better understand them. Obviously, you don't want to send hundreds of messages, but even doing this like five, 10 times can be super helpful. Then also you want to leverage AI with all of this data, all of this insight, all of this feedback. You know, again, humans are quite decent at analyzing patterns, but AI is a lot more effective at that and quick at that. So, uh, back to another AI prompt for you guys to take a screenshot of here. Um, you could use this yourself, but essentially you give it context about your page, your niche, how many followers you have, the type of content that's performed best, more about your uh demographic, like again, age, gender, where they're from, uh, some things about them, and then you're pretty much asking it to identify three to five. So, you're you're going to copy and paste. This is the most important part, you're going to copy and paste all the insight that you get from this phase here, right? So like maybe all the replies from your stories, copy and pasting comments, all the conversations from your followers, putting them all into this prompt here. And then AI is going to help you out with giving you some ideas and direction of where to take uh the product like how you could actually package something that would solve their problems. Okay, so that is the ideation phase. Now once we have the idea, we have the general direction, now we kind of want to validate it, right? We want to confirm that it's a valid idea, something that people in our audience would actually want and need. and potentially spend money for, right? So then you could go to this phase here, which the whole objective is to really just test your ideas and get feedback from your audience. And then again, what you could do is post stories, similar to like the last uh part. You could DM the same followers that you already DM'd saying like, "Hey, um, I remember our conversation from last time, and based off of that, you know, I have the idea of creating XYZ. What are your thoughts on this? Is there anything that you'd add to it?" and just getting some more feedback about an idea. And then also you could research competitors. This might be another sort of point of reference for you. Could take a look at other competitors in your niche, seeing what they're doing, what type of products they have, if any, and just getting some ideas that way, which could give you a better, you know, direction and some validation yourself on your own ideas, right? So you could ask a question on your story like as a poll, would the XYZ with XYZ that you can XYZ with be valuable to you? And kind of just see what people say. what would help you more right now? XYZ, XYZ or XYZ. This is how you can begin kind of testing and validating your ideas just to see genuinely what people are um reacting to the most. Keep in mind if you're like smaller and your engagement isn't that good, you're not going to get that many like responses on these types of you know stories and in that case may make sense for you to prioritize more the DMing followers part. But if you actually are doing this the right way and you're growing, you're getting the views, followers, then you should be getting some good engagement on these types of stories as well. Okay. So the whole step there is to kind of validate the idea in the direction that you have in mind. And once you do that and you're sure that the idea or you have a good feeling, a strong feeling and have data to back it up that the idea is actually has precedent and that you can and that has potential that people actually would want want it and need it. It solves a problem for your audience, solves a painful problem for them to the point where they'd actually be willing to invest for it. Then you could go ahead and actually create and build it. Right now, in terms of doing this, you just want to execute the idea into an actual digital product. Now, the main formats of digital products, just so you guys kind of have an idea, is in the format of like a guide or a ebook, which I'm sure you've heard of, in the form of a template, some sort of framework or system, even like a miniourse. These are all different like forms of digital products, right? So, obviously depending on what the idea is will determine what format you package it in, right? So, keep that in mind. Now, when it comes to the different platforms that you could use to put digital products together, here's a list of some. Beacons AI, Shopify, Beehive, and PayHip. So, Beacons I know has like a free option for sure where you could set up a web page and start actually monetizing with the digital product literally for complete free and not even like too crap of a web page. It's actually quite good. It will convert. Shopify is another uh option where you could put a store together. This one's like more um let's just say complex. Like Beacons is super super easy to use. Like they already have it completely structured for you. You could just customize it to your brand. Whereas Shopify, it's like a little bit more uh complex. And then Beehive, like I said, you have the option to as well. There's a digital product section where you could host one there. And very, very easy to use as well. Uh is another free platform and PayHip is another platform as well. So these are kind of the options that you could take a look at. And then again, you're going to want to leverage AI in this process as well. So once you have the idea, you've validated it and you kind of know what to what format to put or package the idea in and also you like you create the uh landing page or the host platform to sell it. Um you know you could begin using AI to actually start putting making this to life, right? Turning it to life. So with the right prompts again and guiding it in the right direction, giving it feedback and kind of giving it all of the uh data that we've collected from our audience and also ideas that we have for the structure and maybe taking a look at some other digital products that you've bought or could see others are selling. You know, you could kind of try to structure it in a similar way or other ways that you know you believe would be effective and that have proof of concept and then just leverage AI to kind of fill in the blanks there, right? So again, this will do like 90 to 95% of the work. I don't suggest that you like completely depend on AI to do everything for you. I'm not saying that because that's not how you create like real value, but you know, you can uh pretty much sharpen the edges off of what AI gives you. You know, kind of go through things yourself, structure it maybe in a slightly different way, reward things, h add your own context where you see fit or combine other like inspiration. And uh the combination of all of this is how you could actually begin creating and building the digital product to the point where it's it's there. And then all you have to do is begin selling it, right? Which is the last step here, which is the promote step. All right? So at this point, we've got the idea for the product. We've validated it. We know that it's something that will actually help our audience, something they're they would be interested in, something they'd potentially be willing to pay for. We've created it. Now, we just got to promote it, right? And the whole objective here is to make people aware of what the product is and how it will deeply help them. Okay. Now, promoting a digital product is very similar to the way you would promote the free product for the newsletter signups that we just went over before. So, what you could do is the real CTA, carousel CTA, link and bio CTA, broadcast channel CTA, store sequence CTA, and have all this hooked up with ManyHat to kind of like automate driving traffic to the product. The only thing that's different here is the the newsletter CTA as well. So, keep in mind guys, this is where you could really integrate digital products into your newsletter and email ecosystem, right? And kind of do some email marketing. So, let's just say again, you have like this email list. There's now a few thousand people on it. These people are going to be like your biggest fans. They're going to be the most they they're going to be the people or your audience that's gotten the most value from you, who's the most educated from you, who trusts you the most. And now you could begin driving traffic from that email list to a product of your own that will actually solve their problems, right? And these are the people who are going to be the most likely to want to buy that product. And so like in your emails at the end, you could have um CTAs kind of pointing attention towards the product and explaining why it matters to them and how they would benefit from getting it. Right? So that's how you'd promote it. And now that we've gone over the process, I want to show you some more tangible examples just so you can see like visuals of what I'm describing and how other people have put this into action. All right, so this page here is a neuroscience page called Neuro Tweak. They got 147,000 followers. And if you check your bio here, they you could see that he's selling some sort of digital product. And in his bio, he says 30 days brain reset plan. And if you take a look at his bio, you could see that he's selling some sort of product. And it says here 30 days brain reset plan. Right? So if we take a look at that and we click on this link, it's going to bring us to this product right here. And this is set up on Gumroad. This is another free platform where you could like host a digital product. I personally don't like these um structures. I think it just looks kind of old and tacky and doesn't convert as well. Um so just so you guys know that. That's why I didn't suggest it earlier. But this is Gumroad now. Um you could see that he with his content is getting viewers and followers and building an audience of people who are interested in neuroscience and brain health and you know just functioning cognitive function. Now with this audience obviously the way you monetize with a digital product you need to make sure it's aligned with the audience and actually is something they'd be interested in something that solves their problem. So, he came up with the idea of this 30-day brain reset plan. And then if you look at the description, it kind of explains more of the benefit and how it could help them. And here is different ways that this person can actually promote it and bring attention to it and market it, right? So, first is like the real caption CTA. So, let's just say you have your caption structured the same way we've discussed throughout this free course. At the end, you could have something like this would be in the caption, you know, uh, template like the copy and paste part. comment reboot and I'll send you my five minute brain reboot plan to reset stress and improve sleep. Right? So, when someone comments that uh keyword reboot, you'll see that it's automatically sending them a message. And if you check Manyhat right here, it says, "Nice. This is a quick reset you can use anytime your mind feels overloaded, unfocused, or or restless. It takes five minutes and works directly on your nervous system. Send me the link." And then when you press that, it says, "Here's your five minute brain reboot plan. Click access below and you'll receive the plan in your first email." So you click access. He's got a typo here. And then um it takes them to the newsletter landing page, right? So in this case, you could have it driven to like he so he's doing it to a free product the same way we've discussed before and then getting them to sign up to the email list. And then once they're in the email list, that's when he starts pushing the product, right? And obviously you don't want to spam it and push it too much. You know, you want to have mostly providing value, but occasionally, you know, marketing your product. So what he does here is he gives them something for free and then upsells them later down the line to a digital product. And you could have many chat sequences that do that automatically and begin messaging them again. And once they're in the email list, they will see the product anyways, right? So it's kind of like playing the long game here, which isn't bad because he gets to nurture them more first. Also, with that being said, when you give someone something for free first, it just builds a lot more trust. And if you know, if you could help solve their problems with something that you give them for free, they're going to think in their mind, you know, wow, like that helped me so much and it was free. Imagine how much the paid thing could help me, right? That's kind of what you want going on in their minds. So, that's one way that he does this. Another way is like through story sequences. So, I was going through his profile and uh, you know, came across some of these. I'm not going to take the time to like read them all because it'll take a little bit of time, but you could see that he's kind of playing on his audience and their pain points and their desired state and provides his uh product as like a bridge to that gap, right? So, this is another way that you could drive traffic. And then he's like showing some testimonials here and you know promoting the product where he gives the audience a chance to click the link and get access to it, right? So, this is something that you can obviously this one's really long. I don't suggest it being this long. I suggest it being like two, three or four slides max. Uh, but this is a way to get in front of your followers to uh, you know, um, plant some seeds in their mind that you would be able to help them out with your product. [snorts] And then this is something that you could do once and have like pinned as a highlight on your profile or you can kind of do one of these like each week for example. Right now, here's another example. This is a page in the parenting niche. They've got like almost a million followers. And if you check their bio and you see what they're doing, they've got this product right here. Less overwhelm, more connection when your child needs it most. Ease the overwhelm today, build resilience for tomorrow. So, this is sort of like a whole pack uh for parents to be able to um you know, develop better relationships with their kids and be a better parent, right? So again, all of this content here is what has attracted the audience, what has allowed this page to build almost a million followers, getting in front of all that attention, all this audience, and now he's selling some sort of product which actually provides value to the audience and solves their problems, right? And then again, this is a example of selling your own product. And there's more ways to do this. We'll go over it in a second, but here are a couple different just tangible examples of where you could see this in action. And one more. This is a health page and holistic gut health, right? And you can see in the content, you know, it's attracted an audience interested in this topic. Then if you check the bio, you'll see it says a natural gut healing blueprint. Trust your gut again and digestive discomfort. Yes, I want to heal my gut. And then it takes them to uh this order page. It's a uh I don't Okay. Yeah. 10 comprehensive chapters, practical recipes and protocols. So this is like a whole guide to get better gut health. And this is great because, you know, this is a painful problem that people have. You know, if you're not feeling good in your gut and it's like really making a negative impact on your life, like this is a painful problem that you want solved. And assuming this person actually has a good solution for these people, like a lot of people could get value from this, something like this, especially for like $27. So, you know, this is an example of something that could sell really well because it actually solves a problem. Guys, don't expect to like really perform exceptionally well with a digital product if your product doesn't actually solve the problem of your audience, right? Because when you solve your their problems, you alleviate their pain. When you alleviate their pain, value is created. And when you create value is when you receive monetary compensation, right? Don't expect to receive monetary compensation if you're actually not solving anyone's problems. Okay? So, that's another example here. And again, here are some more screenshots of just sales on my own digital products, uh, dashboards and, you know, Stripe dashboards. All right, so now that we've gone over digital products, let's dive into the third monetization method, which is going to be paid promos and shoutouts. Now, this is a really solid way to monetize. And of course, I'm going to go over why that is and how it works in a moment, but I also want to bring up that this way of monetizing typically comes in a little bit later down the line once you actually have somewhat of a established audience, right? compared to the first two, like newsletters, you can get started with a few thousand followers. Digital products, maybe once you cross like 10,000 followers, for example. Whereas with paid promos and shoutouts, typically it ends up actually making the most sense and becoming like worth your time to explore once you're crossing like 50k followers, 100k, even over 150k depending on the niche. Because think about it like this, like when you build an audience on your theme page, it's like a asset, right? you have something that's valuable that for example other brands, creators or companies or businesses will see value in that audience and that attention that you have and because of that be willing to pay you in exchange for you to promote something on your page, right? Because they're getting value from that. They're getting the attention. They're getting the eyeballs. So just by having a theme page, by building an audience and growing it, you have something inherently valuable in and of itself, right? So that's where this comes into place. It's almost like advertising if you think about it. All right. Now, the core benefits of this is the more followers you have, of course, the more money you're going to make, right? And keep in mind, it's not just about followers. You know, if you have a, you know, a million followers, but you have like dead engagement, then, you know, that doesn't equal more money. You know, keep in mind the engagement and, you know, the quality of the audience actually matters as well. But in general, like the bigger the page that you have, assuming it's like not dead, the more money you're going to be able to make, right? All right. So, this is something that can become like some nice side income like for once you're in the stage of like 50 to 200k followers, but once and getting to that point where you're like a very big page, then you could really start charging some good money for these uh paid promos and shoutouts, right? So, that's great because obviously there's no limit to how many followers that you could get. And then at the same time, it's the easiest way to monetize. So obviously like with newsletters and with digital products and a couple others like there's more that you're doing on your end to kind of like prepare things and set things up. Whereas with paid promos and shoutouts like literally the other company creator or business is creating the content for you to post onto your feed. So all you have to do is literally just get receive the money and then post it. I'm going to break down how it works just in a second here. It's it's just really simple. You don't really have to do any work on your end, right? It's also the most passive and predictable income. So, like because of this, it's very passive. You're not really actively doing anything. It's like you get sent a post, you post it, you make money. It's that simple. And it's also predictable as well because uh you could have long-term clients, right? Uh, you could work with media buyers or just long-term clients, whether they're businesses, creators, if they're actually getting value from your promos to the point where you could get them on like a monthly retainer, for example, where you're posting like X amount of posts or carousels and they're paying you X amount in exchange for that, right? And, uh, media buyers and companies are very invested into, you know, um, shoutouts and paying pages like us on Instagram to get the attention. Uh like the biggest ones right now they're like obviously this is going to depend on the niche the type of people that you're working with but like all the big like you know Poly Market and Koshi and um all the AI companies they're just dumping money into promos they just want to make people as aware of them and their company and what they're doing as possible. Right? So this creates a huge opportunity for us theme pages because we could easily grow that audience and get that attention without showing our faces. and then we have something inherently valuable that other companies are willing to pay us in order to get access to, right? That's how you want to be thinking about this. Now, let's dive a little bit deeper into like how this works uh so that it's fully clear, right? And there's no unanswered questions here. So, first you have to find a client, right? You have to find someone who's actually wanting to pay you for like a promo or shout out or a collaboration, anything of this nature, right? And in order to find a client, there's a few ways that you could do this. First, others can reach out to you. You could reach out to others or you could work with media buyers. All right, so these are kind of like the three different ways to find a client. Um to make it as easy as possible for others to reach out to you, you could reference a couple of these screenshots here. So for example, um this is a big page, almost a million followers, and they just simply have like a business email in their bio. That way, it just makes it super easy for anyone who's looking to um you know, or is interested in promoting on their page. they could just contact the email and then boom, you could go back and forth, close a deal. And then also you could have the option of like having a link in your bio. You know, you could have multiple different links if you didn't know that. And one of them could be like for sponsors and advertisers. That way anyone who comes on your page looking for this, they have literally a link to click specifically for them. And then you could just have like a simple form set up where you could say, so this this is like in the AI niche for example. It just says uh marketing services reach large targeted audiences with our managed campaigns. We make it simple to execute and scale your campaigns, reach the XYZ community as well as most of the top XYZ pages, right? And then they just put in their name, their email, some other information, how much they're willing to pay, uh what they're actually interested in. And then that way you could literally just get their contact information, and then reach back out to them and facilitate a deal that way. Now, that's how you can make it as easy as possible for others to reach out to you. But when it comes to you reaching out to others, here's what I suggest. So reference your niche research. Reference the biggest, not even necessarily the fastest growing, but the biggest pages in your niche. Follow them. Keep an eye on their pages and see which creators or brands or companies are paying them for promos, right? Just kind of scan their page, check it every once in a while. And a lot of these pages are actively running promos, right? And this allows you to easily see who's paying for the promo, right? Whether it's just XYZ company, XYZ creator. If you see them promoting on a different page, you know that they're actively promoting. So if you reach out to them the right way, then you could kind of also become an option for them to begin actively promoting on your page as well. Right? So the best way to do this is just become familiar with your niche, become familiar with the different brands, companies or creators that are promoting in your niche and then you could reach out to them and develop a relationship there. All right? So here's a simple like uh DM you could send for example or email. Uh you could start it off like this, like business inquiry. That way they know it's important and that it's not just like some random fan. And then you could just start off with the name of their page. I noticed you've been actively promoting your product on Instagram like an on XYZ page. I'm not going to read this whole thing, but you could copy and paste this, screenshot it, do whatever you'd like with it, and just customize it towards whoever you're spending or sending the message to. All right, so that is how you find a client. Now, also one more thing that I want to mention here. um if you're smaller between like 50 to 150K maybe also depends on your niche maybe you have to reach out to others more at the beginning whereas once later down the line you've grown and you really have lots of traction and momentum then others will reach out to you more often. All right? So don't expect people to be reaching out to you like right when you hit 50k followers offering you all this money. you know, you're going to have to uh kind of develop those relationships, even do some out outreach yourself first, right? But don't get me wrong, once you do build more of a following, you're more established, then people will be reaching out to you. Okay? Now, with that being the case, let's go over how to actually make a deal, right? Because we find the client, now we have to get a deal with favorable terms. Now, keep in mind, you're going to want to have your prices ready and for it to be flexible. Now, keep in mind, you're going to want to have your prices ready and also to be flexible with what they're looking for, right? So, you don't want to just have like a set package and, you know, only offer that because sometimes people want to get the most value, right, for what they're looking for. So, just be flexible. Make custom packages as you see fit, right? Especially at the beginning, it's not a bad idea to be flexible just to kind of get that experience, see how one of these deals go, but obviously don't be too flexible to where you know you're not getting your end of the bargain. All right? Now, in terms of how much you could charge, this is what we want to go over. It depends on the number of followers you have, how engaged your audience is, the demographic, like where they're from. In general, pages that have a high quality audience or first world countries audience could get paid more compared to a page with a with more followers, but with a lower quality audience, for example. Right? So, it's not all about the followers, it's about actually where they're from and the quality of the followers. Also, of course, it depends on the the budget of the brand or the business you're working with and then also the format of the content. So, whether it's like a real, a post, a carousel, story, it comes in different formats. Now, I suggest having something simple like this ready because someone might reach out to you asking your rates or you're having a conversation with someone, they ask what your rates are. You could have a simple uh breakdown just showing like 24-hour feed post, 30 days feed post, 60 days feed post, uh permanent feed post, 24-hour story, permanent repost, and I don't have reels here, but you could also offer reels if you know that's an option. Typically, most of them are posts and carousels, so keep that in mind. But this is how you could be prepared. That way, you could close the deal. And um obviously the price that a page charges depends on all these specific you know uh metrics. So I can't like tell you exactly what you can charge. It also depends on the niche. Uh but here's like a the things to keep in mind, the things that influence the amount that you could charge. Okay. So now that we've gone over how to find a client and make a deal, uh it's the fun part, right? Get paid. Now every serious brand and creator or business will pay you beforehand for the promo shout out. So, if someone reaches out to you and they're like, "Yeah, bro. Let's do this promo. I'm going to pay you $200." And they start asking you to promote it first. Typically, that's a sign that it's not like legit, right? You know, most serious brands, creators, they're going to be willing to pay you first. That's just kind of industry standard. All right? And just use a preferred payment processor. PayPal is the most universally accepted, so that's kind of just what I suggest. It's the most common in this space. Uh, but also, you know, again, Stripe is pretty popular. Um, some people are comfortable with like, you know, crypto and some other ways as well, but I would just suggest sticking with PayPal. I believe everyone watching this should have access to PayPal. So, um, yeah, just just stick with PayPal. That's going to be your best bet. So, now that you've gotten paid, now we all we have to do is just post the content, right? So, this is why it's so easy on our end. Um, we're not really doing too much. We're just finding someone, agreeing on terms, you re receive a payment, and then you post the content. Right? Now, how this is going to work is they're going to send you the content or creative to post and all you do is just like upload it yourself. They also send you the caption typically t they also send you the caption typically and then you could post it as is or what's even better sometimes is ask if they'd like you to recreate it in their branding, right? Because sometimes like the promo or the shout out when they send it to you, it just kind of like is not aligned with your branding and it just isn't aligned with like the colors or you know, it just kind of looks off. It looks like inorganic and it looks like it's a clear promo. And you know, you could post it as is, but that's not the best for engagement and also won't get the best results generally. So, it depends on the quality of the creative. Some are more like standard where it's universally acceptable on all types of pages, but some are more niche. Nonetheless, it's typically and sometimes better for you to literally recreate the creative with your own constant style, right? That way, it seems more organic and gets better engagement and makes them more likely to want to work with you in the future. So, it adds a little bit of extra work, but it's just one post, so it should be really quick. Now, [snorts] here's an example because you could see this company, Lovable, which is like some sort of like software company, I believe, um or web builder. I'm not exactly sure what it is. It just uses AI a lot. Uh promoted on these two different pages, but you could see that the promos look slightly different even though it's like the same exact copy if you actually read it. So, this says someone in Brazil made 3 million in 48 hours using AI. And then it's got like the actual branding or logo of the page here. It's got a certain picture. It's got like that lovable uh logo here. Whereas with this one, it is a different picture. It's got pretty much the same text, like very very similar text. And uh yes, different picture. This logo is a lot bigger. It's got the green brand colors. It's got the logo of the uh page here. So, you can see it's the exact same promo, but just like more custom for the branding. So, these typically perform better because they seem more organic. like if someone actually scrolls on it who's a follower of this page, they're more likely to read it and engage with it because they think it's more organic rather than something that's a blatant promo. Okay, so that's essentially how it works in four steps. Now, I'm going to dive into a couple examples here in a second so you can see more tangibly what I mean here and what this looks like. But also keep in mind with this method, something that's important that I want to preface this with is there's two there's two things that I want to like bring up to your attention. One is you don't want to do this too often because then you're going to like irritate your audience and you know your engagement will tank. Now, at the same time, you could still implement these like every once in a while and be completely fine and you don't have to worry about it, right? But just all I'm saying is don't spam it. And this should be common sense. Don't just spam promos every day. That's not smart. And number two, the company, the brand, the creator, the business that you work with. Ideally, you want it to be as aligned as possible with your niche. Right? So, obviously, in this case, this makes a lot of sense because this is like a AI company and, you know, they're promoting on AI pages. So, it's stuff that your followers would actually be interested in. Whereas, you know, if someone reached out to you and first off, there's some stuff like with like Only Fans or like gambling, you know, it depends on your morals, of course, but like for me, for example, I've never taken any of those deals because I don't want to promote that sort of stuff on my page. I want to make like a, you know, uh, the type of impact that I want to make positive way. Um, so keep that in mind. You know, you don't have to promote stuff that's outside of what you want to promote. But also, even if it is like moral, if it doesn't really align with your niche, maybe you don't want to do it, right? Like maybe they got approached by like some architect who wants to so show something, but maybe, you know, the person doesn't want to they don't believe that architecture or, you know, whatever the other topic is is aligned with the niche and what the audience would be interested in, then maybe it's not the best fit, right? because you don't want to be promoting something to your audience that isn't even like aligned with what they would care about, right? So, that's just another thing to keep in mind. Don't spam it and also, you know, be relatively selective with the type of opportunities, right? Kind of depends on lots of factors, but I think that's important for you to know. Now, here are some examples. All right, so first up, we have a basic promo right here. So this is just like a simple post where you know this AI this is a poly market promo on a AI page. Now pretty much how this works is poly market paid this person x amount simply just to post uh this carousel on the page right and it's very simple you could kind of just like slide through it. It's got the branding of the page still. Now here's another example of that. Um, this is like another person or a company who paid this page entrepreneur facts and it says like this Gen Z startup is hosting 10 college blind dating yacht parties across the US. So, it's a it's promoting a startup called Ditto. Now, it's just a it's very simple. Again, it's just posting it and then they give you the caption as well and all you do is just like post it, right? Then sometimes you leave it 24 hours, sometimes you leave it 30 days. Sort of depends on the deal that you worked out, right? So, this is a very basic promo where it's just literally a carousel and at the end typically you'll see that it asks them to do some sort of action like sign up here now and then it's got like the page um there for people to click on or here. Um I'm not exactly sure what the call to action here at the end. Sometimes they don't always have a call to action, but yeah, nonetheless, this is just a basic promo. Now, this is something that's called a group shoutout. So, this is where you essentially promote like a list of different pages. Maybe you've seen something like this before. You know, Instagram has over two billion accounts. Here are the 20 accounts that will teach you more skills in a four-year degree. Right? I'm sure maybe you've seen something like this. It's been around for a while. And then the page lists like the 20 pages, right? Now, you know, these people are all actively paying media buyers, for example. And then the media buyer is someone you'd connect with and they would for example uh facilitate the deal and tell you like who to tag here and like what the creative is etc. Right? So that's another example of one. Keep in mind media buyers essentially are a middleman between these companies and businesses and you. Media buyers just make this whole process a lot easier. You know they get budgets from like the brands and then they approach pages like us and pay us for promotions. All right. Now, in terms of finding media buyers, like you know, for example, in my network and the people that I know, like I just have a list of people and different group chats that I'm in and share with the people that I'm working with to like introduce these opportunities. But if you don't have that sort of network, then, you know, you could kind of try reaching out to people and making your own connections. It's it's just a bit tougher, but um media buyers definitely make the whole process a lot easier. They do take a little bit of a cut for making the process easier, but um I believe it's worth the time that you save. Okay, so that's a group shout out. Now, there's also something called a collab. I'm sure you've seen this before as well, where someone posts a real and they invite a collaborator and then it says it's like posted by both pages. So, depending on the type of deal and the type of format that you go with, um you know, this is an option as well where again either you or they make the creative and then either they or you post it and then you guys invite each other to collaborate. So, it's posted by both of you, right? So, this is a page 11 Stoic partnering with Project Claron. I'm not exactly sure what it is. Maybe it's some sort of app or something, but that's just another example of what it could look like. All right, so I know I've been waffling on about paid promos. And then, so I know I've been waffling along about paid promos. Hopefully, it makes a lot more sense now. And here are, of course, just some more screenshots of some bigger deals that I've received uh for promos. And keep in mind, these are all like more longerterm packages. So, it's not like I got, you know, $3,000 just from like one post. These are like longer deals. But this is what I mean by, you know, this could be a very sustainable, predictable way to monetize, especially if you get onto these monthly deals with these long-term serious clients. All right. Now, with that being said, let's move on to number four, which is the reals bonus. Now, the reals bonus is super cool and it's one of those monetization methods that's super misunderstood because a lot of people think that they can monetize and everyone can monetize off views on Instagram and that's just like the main way of monetizing, which isn't the case. And then other people think it's just completely impossible and that Instagram doesn't pay for views. But the truth is in the in the middle and I'm going to explain exactly how it works, but in some cases, you could get paid for views. Okay? And the core benefits is that this is great. views equals money directly, right? So, it's not monetizing like indirectly like the other ways. This is literally directly views equals a certain amount of money, right? So, of course, because of that, it's very easy. Uh it's no additional work. It's like you make the content, then it's there working for you. And like I mentioned, this is an extra stream of income. So, this is not going to be like the main income source, although it's just nice to get another extra few hundred potentially up to an extra few thousand a month just flowing through. All right, so now let's go over how it works and kind of clear up I think the misconceptions that people have about this. So it's pretty straightforward, but essentially what you're going to want to do is leverage the Meta ecosystem. All right, because Meta doesn't only own Instagram, it owns Facebook as well. I'm sure a lot of you guys know this. And what you have the ability to do is cross-ost from Instagram onto Facebook automatically. Like each time you post on Instagram, not only are you getting the views, the followers, the monetization opportunities there, but you could have it automatically cross-osting onto Facebook as well. That way, you're building a brand there, getting more views, more followers, and monetization opportunities there on Facebook, right? And a lot of people don't know this. They only post on Instagram, right? And Instagram is still the best platform. There's lots that you can do there, but uh you're missing out on extra opportunity if you're not cross-osting onto Facebook. Okay? So on Instagram they have something which is called the reals bonus program where you get paid directly from views. So what's interesting about this um feature is that I have access to it on a couple of my pages but then on a couple other pages I don't have access to it. And this is because it's like a invite only feature and who they invite is really um arbitrary based off my experience. You know some pages that you would think would qualify but haven't got invited whereas others have. So it's kind of inconsistent. It's one of those features which is like trial wheels where certain pages who should have it may not and vice versa. But yeah, this is something that you keep your eye out for. And you could see here, this video got 1.7 million views. I got 120 bucks from it. This one got 2 million views. I got 113 bucks for it. So, how they calculate the payout also depends on like the audience and a couple other variables. But you could see this is just some extra, I guess, bonus income. You could think about it coming in through views, which is pretty cool because you're not doing any extra work for it. And also, what they have is something called the content monetization program on Facebook. Now, this one is invite only as well, but it allows you to get paid for views if you do get invited, right? So, here are just some screenshots of balances or payouts and a couple different formats. This is in the platform. This is an invoice and this is also in the platform. Now, keep in mind there's also some other bonus programs as well. U this is something that they're constantly um in beta testing with just like new program seeing what works best what doesn't and sometimes they name similar like programs after different names so there was like a summer reels bonus program at some point there's a couple other names for content monetization programs on Facebook as well now these features are ever evolving but it kind of just shows what's possible when it comes to actually getting paid for views directly from these platforms here okay now in order to qualify As of right now, the time of recording this video, it's mostly USA and a few other developed countries like South Korea and Japan and I believe the UK as well. And this list is changing a little bit, but oddly enough, that's kind of like the batch of countries. Also, you have to be 18 plus or whoever owns the account must be 18 plus. And then it's invite only like I mentioned as well. So, this is kind of how you qualify. And then there's no like certain amount of followers that you have to reach um like maybe other platforms where it's more clear uh and there's like an actual threshold. This is more uh ambiguous unfortunately. So uh you just have to keep your eye out for when you get invited rather than crossing a certain threshold if that makes sense. All right. Now the four monetization methods that I've just gone over are the most universally used in terms of making money converting the attention into income on Instagram. Right. So, no matter what type of niche your page is in, what type of audience you're building, monetizing with newsletters, digital products, paid promos and shoutouts, and also the reals bonus program and the meta ecosystem, like those are the most universally used no matter what niche you're in. So, it's not dependent. Now, there are also a few other monetization methods that are more, let's just say, specific and not universal, but can still be very effective methods depending on what niche you're in that I want to run through you guys as well, just so you know the possibilities, right? cuz it's not like there's only four ways to monetize and that's it. There's all these other like kind of unique and more niche ways to monetize which I think are important to be aware of. Now, with that being said, let's dive into the first more niche method here, which is going to be physical products. So, this is a pretty solid way to monetize as well. And some examples of physical products are like apparel like you could see on the screen here, or it could just be some sort of little accessories or gear or, you know, posters, wall art. You know, these are just some examples of physical products. anything that's actually tangible, something you could hold. Whereas a digital product is like fully digital. And like you could see this example right here. This is like a faith Christianity based page. And they have like um a separate page that they've grown actually dedicated towards um their clothing line, right? Their apparel where they have uh you know certain designs that are faith related on shirts, hats, things of this nature. All right. And then you could like click on their website here and they have just a simple like, you know, Shopify page or sales page with the products listed here. Now, keep in mind with this type of monetization method, a lot of people think it's a lot more headache than it is. You still don't have to deal with inventory. You don't have to deal with, you know, shipping and customer service. There's other platforms out there that make that handle all that for us, right? So, Printull, Printify, like these are print ondemand companies which will take care of all of that headache for you, but take a percentage of like the deal, right? So, let's just say you sell a shirt for like 60 bucks, you know, maybe you make, you know, $20 profit margin instead of 30, for example, right? Like they take a little cut. So, it's less profitable, but they save you all the headache, which is worth it. Now, keep in mind apparel is the most popular here as physical products and you know some great this does depend on the niche like I mentioned before diving into these specific methods but if you're in a niche like motivation or like fitness or faith or masculinity like these are typically niches that are more aligned with like clothing brand stuff and then um yeah the process is pretty simple. You just use these platforms like Printify, Printiful. They kind of like, you know, sell appeal as someone buys it, right? That way you're not paying money upfront for inventory and they just print it on the material and all that stuff that you set up ahead of time on like what type of format, whether it's a shirt, hoodie, whatever, and they take care of the rest. So, obviously, you got to set it up first, but once it's set up, it's pretty passive and simple and not much headache. So, this is a pretty cool option. Uh, we've also got affiliate marketing. So, this is where you're selling some sort of product that is not actually created or owned by you, right? But like from other from another more established, more reputable company or business in your niche, right? And then by selling their product, you get a little commission. Um, this is usually not one that I like fully suggest because you could make more money long term just like learning the skills and using AI and the tools to create your own valuable digital product. But affiliate marketing is good for people at the beginning who maybe just want some experience like uh marketing and you know promoting rather than having to like worry about building the product yourself. But I think that's a good skill to learn. Anyways, regardless uh with that being said, here's an example of uh someone in the neuroscience niche. So this is Neuroglobe. They're posting all this type of content that attracts people who are interested in like you know optimizing their brain health and uh their cognitive thinking and just anything regarding neuroscience. And you can see in their bio they're official partner of Fely VB. Um it's essentially what is it? It's a capsule. I think it's like some sort of mushroom capsule um or pill where people take it and it has like you know it clears up uh their brain and makes them think more clearly and uh more focused etc. Whatever it is, it's something that the audience actually would be interested in. And this person didn't actually create this product. they're just affiliating for it. So, they get like a percentage of each sale. And this percentage can vary depending on like what the specific arrangement is. Sometimes it's like, you know, 50% or other times you have 100% resell rights um on a couple other things. So, just sort of depends. Now, where you could find opportunities for like like this is again either reaching out to other people who are doing and promoting this on other pages the same way we did in the promos and shoutouts or you could contact certain brands or companies yourself that you already know are are selling. And then also there's platforms like you know Digi Store and you know some other platforms where you could find affiliate marketing opportunities. So just to kind of wrap this one up here I typically like don't suggest it as a main option. It's like it only works really well in specific scenarios and cases because it's just much more effective long-term, more profitable. You learn more skills if you set up your own digital product. And it also is highly converting as well if it is your own digital product because you have more control of like what it looks like, how much it costs, and who it's for. That way you can make it specifically geared towards your audience where affiliate marketing products are a bit more general and not as specific and tailored to your specific audience. All right. So, I know I was ranting here, but let's move on to the next one. So, uh, another monetization method is clipping. So, this is where you could get paid by views or for views based off specific background music that you use or specific uh people that you post. Now, Instagram doesn't pay you directly for these views. You're going to want to use a platform called Um, so this is a platform that is becoming very popular. And essentially within there's like uh earning opportunities, monetization opportunities for clipping where you could, for example, make a post or a reel with a specific background sound or of a specific person and copy the link of that video on Instagram and paste it into and they'll track how many views you get and pay you accordingly. Right? So, this is typically like $1 per thousand views. That's pretty standard. And one example you could see here is this guy, Rob the Bank. He has a clipping campaign. So, he's just dumping a bunch of money into this clipping campaign. So, anyone who joins up and is accepted and posts a clip of him on Instagram that qualifies, then they can get paid for views if they just paste the link within the channel. So, it may sound a little bit confusing, but it's actually very straightforward. And if you're curious, just open and look some of for some of those opportunities yourself. Um, obviously, it depends on the opportunity because, you know, maybe you're not going to find within your niche specific background music or or people that like align. So, this is why it's a more niche and dependent one on whatever type of content you're posting. But, let's just say you're in like the uh you know, money or motivation or business niche that this guy for example falls into and you post a clip of him on your page with just like the simple this is the subtitle format with like a hookup top. You know, this one got viral. I think it got like some hundreds of thousands of views. So, um I assume this person is part of this clipping campaign here. So, they copy the link of the video, put it into the campaign, and then you get paid. And obviously um it's not like an unlimited budget. So maybe they max out like you can only earn 500 bucks from a single reel. So if you get like 20 million views, you know, you're not going to get like you know $20,000 for example. They cap it at some range. Okay. So that is clipping. Now also there is the option of services. So this one is like again very niche. But if you have some sort of skill set, if you already are good at something, in this case this guy is like a videographer or photographer. It says sport videographer. sport videography more specifically. He like he posts uh content on his page that attracts, you know, more of like a cinematic videographer type audience or just people who enjoy the content. And then if you see his bio, he has a website where he kind of goes more over his work and his services and how he can help other people with their projects, right? So then occasionally, every once in a while, he could kind of like promote and drive traffic to his own services and monetize that way, right? So again, this is more specific and niche for people who are actually interested in offering their own skills as a service. Okay. Now, the last method that I have here is what's called a brand placement. So, this one is one of the easiest ways to monetize. And here's an example of what this looks like. What I mean by brand placement is like you literally in the corner of your screen somewhere have like some uh um brand name or logo, right? So, for example, this company Koshi is paying this page, Hoop Society, um, for simply having their logo in each one of their videos, right? And how this works is this person gets paid a certain amount of money per views that he gets from this video because he has like this sponsor or this brand placement on it, right? So, uh, keep in mind again this is very niche specific. Um I believe this company here Khi is all about like you know predictive um marketing predictive predicting markets in like the sports industry right so obviously it works good for a basketball page now obviously that may not work for your niche and also you might see opportunities where it's like you know gambling companies are wanting to do this so then obviously you could just evaluate the options that you have and see whether it's worth it for you but just nonetheless important to know that something like this actually exists right and then typically how this works is again either the companies will reach out to you uh the same way promos or brand deals work like kind of inquiring about it or you could reach out to the company like so for example I have uh a basketball page myself as well so if I wanted to reach out to this company here because I see them doing it on one of my competitors I'm sure they'd be down to work with me and we could get something set up but the reason I don't is because it just doesn't align with this is kind of like sports gambling and I don't like that so um to each their own right now these are just some additional extra ways ways to monetize that I think you guys are aware of or should be aware of. And even on top of these methods, there's even more out there that are like more niche, but I think these are like the most important ones to be aware of outside of the four universal ones that we've gone over already. All right, so now with that being said, let's continue moving forward and going over this idea right here, which is very important, and it's that owning a theme page is essentially the same as owning a digital asset, right? Because think about it. What is an asset? It's something that has value, right? Like in real life, there's like, you know, homes, cars, property, there's other things out there that inherently have value in and of itself. Now, when you're building a theme page, what you're doing is building a digital asset because your theme page has value in and of itself. This is why creators, brands, and companies are willing to pay you in order to get access to your audience. It's because you having the attention of that audience of that market is valuable in and of itself, right? Right? And I explain this in a way to some of my clients who are in real estate in real life. I say having a theme page is essentially the same as owning digital real estate. Right? So it's real estate. It's something that is valuable in and of itself. It's something that people will pay you in order to get access to in a sense. It's just digital rather than something that's like physical or a property, right? And they they they giggle at that that one and they agree because it's true, right? And also with that being said, considering it's a faceless theme page, it's a sellable asset, right? So think about it. If someone builds a personal brand and they build it to like a couple hundred thousand followers, like they're not able to like exit or sell that if they wanted to, right? Because their face is associated with the page and the audience that they built. There's an identity associated there. It's dependent on them. Whereas with a faceless page, you're essentially building a brand that is a separate entity. aside from yourself, which kind of operates on its own, right? And you're not attached to it. Your identity is not associated with it in any way. Because of that, you have the option technically to sell it, right? If you grow to like hundreds of thousands, millions of followers, and you come to the conclusion that you'd prefer to sell your page, you have the option to. There's been huge payouts for Instagram pages and I'm not even gonna begin getting into it because you won't believe me, but there was like collections of pages that have been sold for like literally millions of dollars. You could look it up. There's a page like Dcoin, which is like this is like a meme page, but you know some other big pages out there like Hood Rap TV, like these traditional pages that maybe you remember seeing while growing up, like these are selling for like millions of dollars. I'm not going to say that you should expect the same yourself. Not that's not what I'm saying. But what I'm saying is that is what's possible. And even if you're not selling at that high of a rate, you could still exit for like over 100K if you build a really strong solid brand, right? And that's not going to happen in a year, two years, etc. But just understand that you have the option to and there's opportunity there, right? And for me personally, I prefer holding on to my pages because I know I can make more money with them long term the way we've got them set up. But for certain people in certain circumstances, it might make sense. Like let's just say you love theme pages and you got started with it and you started growing it and monetizing it and everything's going well, but over time you want to move on to the next chapter of your entrepreneurship journey and maybe you want to like get into real estate or you want to do something else that requires capital. Maybe what you could do is like, you know, sell your asset that you've built up and take that capital and invest it in other places as you see fit that will continue developing whatever you're looking to do, right? So, in that circumstance, it makes sense to sell it. Whereas, if you love the business and you want to continue it, then it just makes sense to keep it because you'll make more money over time, right? But I also think it's just very important to understand this con concept here that you're building an asset that has value in and of itself that also is sellable as you see fit. Okay. So now with that being said, I want to move on to this next section here which has to do with nurturing. Right? Because keep in mind for people to buy from you, they must know you, like you, and trust you. Right? This is a popular termed phrase which maybe you've heard before and it's absolutely not utterly true. like each stage must be met in order to pe in order for people to buy from you, right? So although some of the monetization methods don't require uh people to buy from you like for the newsletter or for the paid promos and shoutouts like something like a digital product or a physical product or something else that you're trying to sell on a page like your audience must know you, like you, and trust you ultimately, right? And how you get them to know you and like you is simply through your content, right? just simply by getting your page out there, by posting content that people like and enjoy and maybe they follow you. That's how you get them to know you and just like you, but they don't trust you just from the content, right? You're not establishing establishing yourself or positioning yourself in a way where they actually feel like they trust you on a deeper enough level to like put money into something that you're offering, for example. Right? And with that being said, it's important that we do a couple other things on our on our end in order to build that trust, right? And some pillars of building trust with a theme page have to do with brand consistency, positioning yourself as an authoritative page, someone who knows what they're talking about, an expert, also having social proof, which I'll go into in a second here, and also providing value, right? You know, solving the audience of your problems, educating them, and just overall providing value in that sense, right? And in order to do this, there's a few main touch points that allow you to show your brand consistency, to position yourself as an authority, to show social proof, to provide value, to educate. There's a few main touch points that you can consider in order to build upon these layers here. Right? And let's dive into this first one here, which is the newsletter, right? So, this is why I suggest everyone to start a newsletter. It's just one of the best nurturing assets that you could have that allow you to build a stronger connection with your audience compared to like anything else that we could do, right? Because if you have people signed up to your newsletter and each week, twice a week, you know, they're going through and they're reading something that's actually valuable to them, something that's interesting to them, something that shows that you actually know what you're talking about and that educates them, like these are the people who are going to be the most likely to buy from you in the near in the in the future at some point if you end up selling something, right? So, a newsletter is a great place for you to do this. There's also something called a broadcast channel, which is great for this as well. So, I kind of like to think of this as like the newsletter within Instagram. And if you don't know what a broadcast channel is, it's essentially a group chat. It's a group chat that you could create where your followers could join it, but you're the only one who could send stuff in there, right? So, it's called a broadcast channel. And essentially, you could treat it similar to a newsletter, right? because maybe not everyone who follows you is going to be reading your emails as well. But maybe, you know, if they're not reading the emails, they're reading the, you know, uh, broadcast channel, right? So, this is why I call it touch points. If you can't reach someone on one of the touch points, you could reach them on another touch point. So, this is why it's important to be doing, uh, a bit of all of them as well. Now, again, here are some examples like this person is showing the results of a study about a certain food in the health niche. And you know this one is going and showing a different study for example and giving the link to it so people could read it be educated and this is just another way to again nurture educate provide value build trust and position yourself in a way where you're you know touching your audience on a deeper level and getting them to cross that threshold of trusting you. Okay. Now you also have the option to do posts and carousels. These are typically a lot more nurturing and educational compared to reals which are more geared towards entertainment let's say. So you could have one like this. This these are all examples of this page in the health niche here. So it just says, you know, mothers who took 15 milligrams of saffron twice daily reached clinical remission of 96% of postpartum depression cases. So just very niche. And then it says read caption. And in the caption they dive deeper into like the context of whatever this message is here. And again it's just another way to educate your audience, nurture them, provide value, um position yourself in the right way. Okay. Now, also you could do this by uh having your lead magnet and your freebie be downloaded by your audience. So, what this does, it kind of ties into what I mentioned earlier, which is if you provide something of free uh that's free to your audience and they get value from it, they learn something new, they're educated, it makes them wonder in their mind later down the line if you're selling something, wow, if I got this much free value and learn this from something you gave for free, imagine how much you they could learn from like the paid offer, right? That's kind of what you want them to have going on in their minds. And that's what having a lead mag or freebie allows you to do. It allows you to like give something out to your audience for free. You know, show them that you're actually a high-quality brand who provides highquality resources or whatever it is that you're selling. And then that way later down the line, they actually have that proof and that trust uh from that first experience with you and the free thing. Okay, now that's another touch point. And another way that you could do this is through stories as well. So here's another example from these are all from like a health niche. I figured that that would just be the best way to demonstrate this here. And you could do this a couple ways. You could either post like occasional one-off stories every once in a while that are like valuable or this person has like a little series here and it's also in their pinned as like a highlight for people to go through at the top of their page and it's just posting informative stuff here like how to change your life in 10 days. Follow along and learn practical habits. All right, so this is about like eating whole foods. This is about like supplements. This is about protein and strength. So it's just educating the audience, providing value to them. And you know, you could have other little minieries like this. And obviously, keep in mind, it's dependent on your niche. Just whatever educates your audience, whatever is something that they'd be interested in seeing, whatever helps solve their problems, provides value to them. You know, you could post stories that serve as a different touch point, right? And here's another sort of example of this. This is smart as well because what this person is doing is using testimonials or social proof as a mechanism of building trust, right? All right. So, let's just say this person is selling I believe they're selling like pills or some sort of like supplement product to a health audience, something that genuinely helps them. And like it's one thing to talk about your the supplement and explain how much it helps and explain how great it is and why they could benefit from it, but it goes a layer deeper when they could see that other people are buying it and actually getting value from it. So this person is literally just taking screenshots of testimonials of people reviewing the product and then just sharing it on the stories, right? And this is stuff that you could also talk about in like your newsletter or in your broadcast channel or in your post at some point. So these could kind of work um handinhand at times, right? But these are the main touch points, right? These are ways that you can nurture your audience, build more trust with them. That way you have a stronger connection there and they've gotten value from you and it increases the likelihood of them wanting to buy something from you in the future, right? Because really really I want to re-emphasize this here. Sometimes people bring uh they start a theme page and they start growing it and they're only focusing on the content. They're only focusing on just going viral and getting a ton of views and a ton of followers and in the meantime as they're growing they're not doing anything else, right? They think, "Oh, if they could do their content like that's enough." And then once they have like, you know, 50K, 100K followers, let's just say they try selling a digital product. And maybe they get some sales, but they're not, you know, converting as well as that person expected him, the product to convert. And it's because they most likely skipped out on this phase, which a lot of people do. Like, how do you expect your audience to want to buy something from you if you haven't done your due diligence to give them reasons that they should trust you, right? Or you haven't done your due diligence to plant those seeds and build a connection with this audience. So by leveraging these different touch points here, educating, providing value through your newsletter, broadcast channel, posts or carousels, stories, lead magnets, you know, that's going to significantly increase the likelihood of someone wanting to like buy from you because of that level of trust that you've established from your audience. Okay, now I know I was waffling there, but super super important for you guys to understand this and implement. Okay, now with all that being said, we've gone over everything that you need to know regarding monetization and the different options, how it works. Now, let's dive into the next module. All right. Now, welcome to module six. At this point, we've gone over exactly how to set up your theme page, how to grow it, get the views, the followers, start building the audience, how to convert the views, followers, and audience into income through multiple different ways. Now, we got to go over how to automate, how to scale this operation, right? Super important step. This is what turns your page from just being a theme page that makes some money to a full-blown business, right? that allows you to really reach the full potential with this business and not just have a page but have like a theme page empire, right? And like build an actual media company, right? You know, these are the next steps evolving from just a regular theme page that makes some money, right? So, in this module, we're going to go over all about how to automate and scale this properly. Okay. Now, the first thing that's important to understand is the distinction and the difference between maintenance work and progress work. All right. So in any business you could think about tasks and put them into these two categories, right? And the same applies for this business as well. So maintenance work is essentially lowle leverage and repetitive tasks that keep the page running, right? They maintain the page. Whereas progress work is high leverage tasks that actually move the needle and grow and monetize the page, right? So mainten maintenance work maintains the page. pro progress work actually grows and scales the page and the actual business. Right? The thing about this is most people stay stuck doing maintenance all day and they never actually shift their priority and their intention towards the progress work. And because of this, they're stuck just finding content ideas, just creating the content themselves, like sitting there editing it, just posting posting it and scheduling themselves, um just engaging with the page, the basic engagement, tracking the data. This is all maintenance work. Of course, it's very important, but at the same time, this is stuff that is going to maintain your page, right? But it's not going to scale it. It's not really going to take things to that next level. And if you continue doing these things and you don't focus on like other more high leverage tasks, you're not going to be able to really move the needle, right? You're going to just kind of stay the same. You know, if nothing changes, nothing changes, right? Now on the flip side, if you are doing like the content strategy and split testing the content and nurturing your audience, providing value to them, educating them, um focusing on marketing, monetization, building the right systems, this is all progress work, right? So these are activities or tasks that take up your time and energy that will actually move the needle with your business. It'll actually allow you to move to that next level rather than just maintaining and staying stuck. Right? So really the whole objective here ultimately is to outsource and delegate as much maintenance work as possible so that you could spend your time and energy on progress work. Right? So this is ultimately going to allow you to make more money by spending less time on the business. Right? This is this should be the goal. You know you don't want to have to you know create a business that requires hours to run every single day and requires you to be in the operations. You know you don't want to run the business. You want to you don't want to work in the business, you want to work on the business, right? So by outsourcing and delegating as much maintenance work as possible and focusing on the high leverage progress work, that's what allows you to work on your business rather than working in your business, right? So super important to think about it this way because like I said, this is really to any business out there like when it comes to really scaling and taking things to the next level, you need leverage, right? and you gain leverage by outsourcing and delegating the maintenance work and prioritizing your time and energy on the tasks that actually move the needle, which is the progress work. Okay, so super important kind of conceptual idea to understand first before we move on here. And like I said, this is going to allow you to ultimately make more money by spending less time. So now that we've gone over why outsourcing and automating is important in the first place in order to really scale this, let's go over when to outsource specifically. This is one of the most common questions that I get for people who are at this stage. Now, there's really no right or wrong way to do this. It depends on your circumstance, but in most cases, I suggest to begin outsourcing and automating once you monetize, right? This is just the most organic way to do it and allows you to scale without having to really take any money out of pocket, right? So, like once you monetize at this point, you know, you've gained the skills yourself, you've put the systems in place in order to monetize. And what you could do is you could take a portion of that money that you've generated through your theme page business and put that a portion of that money into outsourcing and delegating and scaling. We're going to go over like where that money goes in a second here, but this is just the most organic way to do it. That way you're not spending any money out of pocket, right? So this is what I suggest to most uh people. Although like I said, it's circumstantial, right? So you could also technically outsource straight from the beginning from scratch, right? Like let's just say either you just don't have time to like actually spend even though it doesn't take that much time like an hour per day, hour and a half per day doing this yourself, but you still see the value here and you want to like scale it yourself. You could technically start working with like someone at the beginning and investing in outsource at the beginning in order to get this business off the ground. So in that circumstance, it could work although it's not what I would suggest. And also, let's just say if you have extra capital that you're willing to put towards this, you can technically start from scratch. So maybe in those circumstances, it works. Especially maybe you already have the skills and you already have the knowledge, you just don't want to spend the time doing it yourself. Could make sense to start from scratch. But I usually don't suggest it. And you also have the option technically to learn the skill of how to, you know, grow and get the foundation set up first and then outsource it, right? even before you monetize because believe me outsourcing and automating certain tasks becomes so much more easy and organic once you actually learn the skills yourself, right? Because if you outsource something and expect someone else to kind of like figure out everything by themselves without really the proper guidance, things could take a turn in the wrong direction, right? Whereas, if you have the skills yourself and you kind of know what to look out for and you know how to guide someone in the right direction, it becomes a lot more natural and organic to outsource it. even before you start earning money, right? But in general, in most cases, it just makes the most sense once you actually monetize. That way, you don't spend any money out of pocket and you've already learned the skills. Okay? Now, with that being said, let's go over like the actual tasks to outsource because you might be wondering like what what are we even outsourcing here in the first place, right? So, the first thing, and this is going to be in order as well, that most people begin their outsourcing, let's say, process is through content creation, right? Because sourcing and creating the content is typically what takes the most time and it's the most timeconuming overall. And because of this, the sooner you could outsource this to a content creator, the better, right? That way we have more time to spend on the progress work, right? Rather than this maintenance work like creating the content and also you should seek to increase the volume and output as well, right? So for example, of course you guys can imagine this is obvious, the more content you post, the more views and followers you get. And if you have the right conversion mechanisms in place, the more money you make as well, right? So if you are outsourcing the content to someone else and they're able to do more than you were doing before and you're also at the same time putting your extra time and energy towards the more progress work, that combined, you know, allows you to make more money than you would have otherwise. Okay? And like I mentioned, ideally learn the skill first, then outsour out outsource it. This is just the most simple, the least complex way to go about it and the one that I suggest to most people. Okay? So content creation is what you should ideally look to outsource first. Now next up is account management or having a VA. And VA stands for virtual assistant. So this is essentially someone who's able to help you kind of manage things, right? Manage the page even though they're not maybe necessarily creating the content. They could help, for example, creating the captions, posting and scheduling the content for you, engaging with your audience. You know, all these take a chunk of time. And again, if you could outsource that to someone else, sometimes even the content creator does both of these. We'll go over that in a moment. Like it allows you to have so much more time and energy that you could put towards more high leverage, more needlemoving tasks, right? So the less time you spend on anything that is thoughtless or repetitive, the better, right? So again, creating captions, posting and scheduling the content, engaging with your audience, all of this is thoughtless and repetitive. And ideally, again with this business or any other business that you're in, you want to think like a business owner. And business owners don't spend their time doing things that are thoughtless and repetitive, right? They outsource those to someone else. That way they can do things that only they can do, right? And focus on the high leverage uh needle moving tasks. Also, ideally, you could promote your content creator to do the account management as well. So, in some cases, maybe this is like two different people, right? where it's like you have a content creator who makes the content and edits it and then you have an account manager who like gets that content, posts it, schedules it, creates the captions, engages with the audience, but oftentimes this could be the same person who kind of handles all of that work together. And this is just typically a lot more efficient and effective. That way, you know, you could you only have to rely on one person to do what they need to do and it just makes it easier to like train and manage them as well. Okay. Now, with that being said, the platform that I suggest that you guys take a look at or learn about when it comes to doing this properly is Metricool, right? So, this is a platform that allows um essentially you or someone else to schedule content onto Instagram. And just to show you kind of briefly how it works, you know, you have a content calendar here. So, this is where you could like choose what time of the day you want something to be posted or uploaded at. And all you have to do to like create a new, you know, post is like, let's just say I wanted to post Friday at 9:00 a.m. I just click the 9:00 a.m. line and then it brings this up. All I have to do is like upload the reel, for example, and I could change like what format of the post it is here, whether it's a post, real, carousel, whatever. Or even trial reels. It allows you to do it through here. Then I copy and paste the caption in and then, you know, do whatever else I need to do. Configure the settings. You could even add real covers and then you just schedule it right here. Right? Right. So, this is a very helpful tool. And also what's super cool about Metrocool is that, you know, a lot of people have the concern about giving their account details like the password and stuff to like someone else to like log in and post the content. Whereas with Metrocool, you don't need to have the content creator or account manager logged into your actual Instagram profile in order to upload the content. uh you could actually just give them login details to this platform the third party metricool and then they could like do the uploads and the captions and everything that they need to do directly through this platform and also the only thing is they just can't engage with the followers if they're doing it through metricool they can only do it if they're in your account right and keep in mind is uh a free platform and also has a paid version as well so free I believe they allow you to do like 20 or 30 videos a month and the paid maybe like 15 20 bucks or something allows you to have unlimited schedules. You could also add like a team member in here so that they could like do everything and manage everything. And you could also track analytics through here as well. Just a super cool overall tool that I suggest you guys um get familiar with. All right. And also just to kind of break down really the roles here from these different uh tasks that we've gone over. First, you know, you have the content creator who's going to create the viral content. you know, the stuff that's responsible for bringing the views, the followers, the audience, gaining that attention. The account manager or the VA, which keep in mind could also be the content creator's role as well, who's going to run and operate the page and kind of manage things and keep things maintained and that things are running. And then you focus on growth and the monetization strategy, right? That's like the most optimal breakdown here. And then also, you're going to focus on managing this person or both people as well. Okay? You know, this is really what's going to allow you to, as we discussed earlier, outsource and delegate all of the maintenance work to a content creator and account manager. That way, you the business owner can work on the business and progress the business and move the needle in the business rather than focusing your time and energy on just maintaining things. Okay, so that's kind of like the ideal uh breakdown or way to split up the rules in a way where you could actually scale and take this to the next level. And the last kind of role that we'd want outsourced is driving traffic, right? So this is all about conversion. And this is different compared to the, you know, content creator and account manager because this doesn't actually have to be a person. This is a system and it's one that we've discussed throughout this video and also one that I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with, which is ManyHat. So just ManyHat is just such an optimal tool to have when scaling any type of business on Instagram. just makes our life so much easier and allows us to convert so much better. Now, ManyHat, you might be familiar with it, you might not be, but what allows you to do is, you know, drive traffic whenever you get new followers or a new comment on a real or on a post or on a story reply, driving that traffic any direction that you want it to be, right? So, for example, like a newsletter, some sort of digital or physical product, etc. It's just a system or a tool or some sort of automated, you know, system or beast. Some It's a system or tool that allows you to take all of the attention that you're getting and kind of funnel it and convert it whichever direction that you want to convert it to. Okay? And so I definitely suggest you know for most of you guys when you're at the stage where you know you are focusing on conversion and monetization definitely get many chat set up. It's going to be a game changer. Help you so much. Okay, so now that we've gone over that, let's go over how to actually find talent. Like where and how to find talent. This is, you know, super super important and something that a lot of people struggle with. So the first way that you could do this, the one that I'd suggest the most, these are also in order, is trusted networks, right? So this is where the best talent is typically found. Um, you know, when I say trusted networks, I mean, you know, people or groups of people that you may already know who you can like reach out to and speak with and go back and forth with in order to find the right person. You know, these are environments where there's driven and skilled and like-minded people, so you guys are kind of on the same wavelength, the same frequency. And then trust and familiarity makes this process a whole lot easier, you know, because if you already trust someone, you're familiar with them, you know, you don't need to really worry about that variable like compared to if you were working with someone completely brand new from nowhere. Right now, for example, the people that I'm working with directly, like in my inner circle, like we have a trusted network and you know, content creators and video editors and, you know, account managers, people I could plug in my clients with when they need it. But if you like if you don't have that trusted network, for example, like what [snorts] you could do is try and network on Instagram. Maybe just make some friends there. Maybe you've like made some connections over the, you know, months that you're growing your page and you could reach out to them, see if they know anyone. You know, it's a little bit tougher if you don't already have a trusted network, but you could try and find other little networks that you can become a part of and become familiar with. Right? This is the best sort of environment for you to find who you're and what you're looking for. Okay. Now, also the second option here is Instagram DM outreach. Okay. So, if you don't really have a trusted network, someone to or a group of people to tap into, then what you could do is literally just reach out to people directly on Instagram. And how you can do this is just identify pages in your niche which are performing well or at least look like they have potential. like if their content is high quality, they're staying consistent, and overall you could just tell that the editor or whoever's behind the page knows what they're doing, then you could reach out to them and see if they'd be open to work with you. See if it's a good fit, right? You could discuss all the details after you speak with them to see if it is a good fit. And something you could do is literally just reach out to them like this. Hey, name of their page came across your page. Your edits are solid. Quick question. Are you open to doing paid editing work for a page that I'm scaling right now? I think you'd be a great fit. And you know, you're going to send this message to, let's just say, a handful of people. Some people won't reply. Some people will reply, but won't be interested in interested in it. Some people will reply and be interested in it, but not be a good fit. But you want to find the people who reply, are interested in it, and are potentially a good fit, right? So obviously you're not going to find probably the person you're looking for on the first try, but you know, if you do your research right and you send these messages and you're just genuine, you're trying to develop a relationship with someone and see if they could help you out. You know, that's how you could also find someone who has potential who could help you out with like the content creation, the video editing, the account management, etc. All right, so that's number two, direct DM outreach. And number three, which is the kind of last resort, is Fiverr or Upwork. Right. So here is, you know, these are platforms where you could just find freelancers essentially. And you know, it's okay, but there's just less trust, less skill, and less likely to be aligned with your vision. And a lot of these people, you know, no hate towards them, but like they're from maybe third world countries, for example. So maybe there's a language barrier, or maybe they don't understand exactly what you're looking for, or they're just not on the same frequency. and they might try to understand where you're coming from, but it's going to be a lot less likely for them to be aligned and on the same wavelength as you compared to like you reaching out to a page that you like or going within a trusted network, right? So, that's why I kind of say it's a last resort, but like I said, it is possible to find a good fit. It just may take some trial and error, which is a headache, which you know, takes extra time and energy and wastes time and, you know, isn't ideal, right? But just keep in mind that it technically is an option and there's potential to find a good fit. just less likely than the other two options that we've gone over. Okay, now with that being said, let's go over what to actually do next once you are able to automate and outsource and delegate like this maintenance work and then have this extra time to focus on the progress work. What you're going to want to do is simply repeat the cycle, right? Because at this point, you've gone through the process and you know, let's just say you've automated once you're actually starting to monetize. You've gone through the process, you've built your page, you've grown it, you understand content, you understand how to go viral, you understand how to actually monetize your page, put the right systems in place, and once you automate it, you could essentially take all of these skills that you've learned, which allowed you to do this on one page and repeat the cycle and either start a new page just completely from scratch, taking everything that you've learned from the first trial, or you can acquire a new page, right? So, both of these are decent options. For me personally, I actually like acquiring new pages. Ideally, I look for ones that are like relatively smaller, maybe between like a few thousand to like 30,000 followers. You know, I want to take a look at pages that look like they have potential and I've built a decent brand to start off with and see if I could get a good deal for that page that's in the niche that I like and then if I can acquire it, then I can sort of just build off of that foundation and it just helps speed up the process rather than just starting a new page from scratch. All right, but you have the option to do both. You know, these are both valid. acquiring a new one maybe just saves a little bit of time, right, and headache. Now, this is how you actually put yourself in a position where you're building a theme page or slashmedia empire, right? Because, you know, there's only so far you can get to and so much you can achieve with just one page. Even if it's a solid great page which is growing really well and has the right conversion mechan mechanisms in place and is making good money, like if you're able to, you know, get yourself in that position, that's great. and you know a great step. But if you really want to scale and take this to the next level, then learning how to like automate and outsource and delegate tasks on that page so it continues growing and making money on its own without you having to work in it, but you're kind of just working on it and managing it. That saves you so much more time to go ahead and like start or acquire a new page. Repeat this process and start building up a second page, a third page, a fourth page. And this is what I've done. I own several pages now. A lot of people that I work with, they own like several pages as well, multiple pages. And if you could grow and start scaling up multiple pages, of course, that's going to allow you to make more income and just reach new levels in business than you would have if you just stuck with one page, for example. Right? So, I suggest to most people once they're at that stage where they've monetized and they learn how to automate and delegate some tasks to take that extra time and energy and repeat the cycle and do it again and create multiple pages and streams of income. or you know maybe you're interested in other projects as well. You just want to like have a theme page kind of running on its own and it's automated and then spend your time and energy working on like a different project that interests you, right? Um so you have the option to repeat the cycle or just automate things and uh go into a different direction as well. But you know I I love this business so I love just repeating the cycle and kind of doing it over and over again now since I have the skills. Right. But now at this point, we've gone over really everything that you need to know regarding how to automate, outsource, and delegate all of that maintenance work that we've talked about so that you could spend your time and energy on the progress work, the stuff that's going to allow you to take things to that next level, turn this into a full-fledged business and like, you know, what roles to outsource, where to find these people, how to train them, all this stuff. So, um, now let's move on to the last module. Let's get into it. All right. Now, welcome to module seven, mindset mastery. This is the last module inside of this free course. And at this point, we've gone over everything that you need to know regarding the business itself, like the different steps, what they are, also how what involves each step and how to go about building all the way up until scaling the business that we just went over right before. Now, with that being said, that is everything from the business perspective. Now, I want to set you guys off to apply everything that we went over business-wise with the right mentality, with the right, you know, perspective about it, just so you could get the most out of everything that we've gone over today. And with that being said, like, you know, the success that you reach in business is almost in direct proportion to the success that you reach in your own mind, right? How well you develop your [clears throat] All right. Now, welcome to module 7. This is mindset mastery and the last module inside of this free course. So, at this point, we've gone over everything that you need to know regarding the actual business itself, like the different steps and in what order and how to actually go about it to the point where you could actually scale the business as we just went over, right? But now I want to equip you guys with the right mentality, with the right perspective that allows you to take everything that you've just learned and actually get the most out of it as you possibly can. Right? And with that being the case, like just from my experience being in business just in general and entrepreneurship for years and the people that I've worked with, it's a common pattern that the success that you reach with the business is almost always in direct proportion to the levels that you reach with your own mind, right? And the mentality that you develop. So in other words, you know, business development is almost in direct proportion to personal development and developing your mind. And with that being the case, like there's just a couple main, let's just say concept or concepts or ideas for you to understand and to kind of just equip yourself before moving forward that I believe you will get lots of value from, lessons that I've learned along my journey and things that I know will provide a lot of value to you guys. All right, so the first concept is the one of shiny object syndrome. Okay. Now, some of you guys may have heard of this in the past. This is sort of a term that's thrown around online. Some of you may have, you know, heard this for the first time right now. So, before diving into why this is such a big thing, shiny object syndrome is essentially the tendency to get distracted and by like another opportunity and to kind of pivot and start something else even though you're already working on something, right? Because in this whole online environment, you're going to hear like this opportunity, this opportunity, that opportunity, and hear like a new shiny object, which may sound good in the moment, which takes your attention and focus away from what you were already working on. Right now, that's just kind of the reality. And the thing is, some people, including myself, um fell into this, let's say, trap um towards the beginning of my journey. And a lot of people still struggle with it. A lot of people that I speak with. And you know this visual right here is very representative of what shiny object syndrome actually looks like right? So when you start a business for example or you're learning something new the curve like if you were to plot it on the graph looks like this right it's like it's not like completely straight up there's some ups there's some stagnations but ultimately if you stick with something you will continue moving up and you know with one trajectory another it will go up and you will develop right within that business you know the more you learn about it the more experienced you get with it the more times you you know encounter trials and tribulations and overcome them the further [snorts] up you're going to yet the more you're going to develop, right? Whereas with shiny object syndrome, this is what the graph looks like, right? It's like you start something new, you're optimistic, you're excited, you're learning about it, probably watching YouTubes about it, you know, whatever. But then it's like, oh, it gets a little bit, you know, more challenging than you thought. You hit a roadblock and you are still watching YouTube and consuming information and it's like, oh, you know, here's this new idea. Here's this new Amazon XYZ. And then you know that grabs your attention and then it gets exciting and you feel like it's a fresh start and then you start it. But then what you're doing each time you do that is you're starting from square one. You're starting from the beginning. You know you're restarting essentially, right? And then you do the same thing. You're optimistic. You're interested in learning about it. You're motivated but then it's like it gets a little bit tough again. And then the same thing happens. You find another idea. You start again from zero from point blank. And then the same pattern is going to repeat repeat unless you overcome that, right? You need to understand that no matter like what like business you get into, there is going to be ups and downs and there is times where it's going to feel tough and you know not hit your expectations because there's no such thing as a get-rich quick scheme or overnight success. So you will fall into like some let's say roadblocks. But you need to accept that. You need to accept that the path that you choose is going to have roadblocks and instead commit to yourself to overcoming those roadblocks and going through that phase of figuring it out rather than just taking the easy way out and finding something new and just repeating the process, right? Think about this like a sport, you know what I mean? Like let's just say you're interested in playing, you know, [snorts] who knows, football, right? Whether it's American football, let's just say soccer, right? So, if you start the new sport, obviously you're not going to be good at it at the beginning and you have to like dribble and you have to like practice your touch and shoot and it's not always going to be super easy at the beginning, but you're going to get better as time goes on. And of course, there's going to be certain things that maybe you're not as good at or you struggle with when you're trying to develop as like a soccer player or a football player. Now, the logic of switching from one business to another as soon as it gets tough is the same as like going from one sport to another. Like if you want to be a professional, if you want to go to the big leagues, if you want to make money, do whatever it is, but then you switch to another sport as soon as it gets difficult just because you see, you know, baseball looks super cool. Oh, you get to hold this bat and swing the bat, and you just switch over to baseball. You're just going to have to go through the same thing all over again, just in a new sport, right? When in reality, that will keep happening unless you say, "Okay, well, yeah, soccer is hard. I need to work on this, but you know, let me let me stick with it. You know, I've already put time and energy into it. let me figure it out and continue developing because that is how you get the curve to look more like this rather than like this. Okay, so the reason I want to go over this is because I know so many people struggle with this just bouncing from one idea to another. Something that I did it myself a little bit at the beginning before I knew any better and I just hope to inspire you and bring this to your awareness and attention that way you don't make the same mistake. Okay, so that's number one shiny object syndrome. Now what I want to go over is delayed gratification. Okay. And I also have another nice little visual to go over with you guys here. So, I want you guys to understand that we live in a world that is very fast-paced in a sense that you could get essentially anything that you want very quickly, right? So, like if you want to buy something new, you could go on Amazon and order it and it'll be at your home like sometimes the same day, sometimes the next day. It depends where you live. Or, you know, if you're hungry, you know, you could just go drive somewhere and eat. Or, you know, you could just literally Uber Eats or Door Dash. And if you are just like bored and you're craving some dopamine, you could just open on your phone and just start scrolling and getting immediate dopamine. So, we live in a world where we could essentially get whatever our brain craves as soon as we want it. Right? The reason this is a problem is because anything that's worth having in life takes time and is difficult. Right? So if you try something that takes time and is difficult, like building a successful business for example, you're not going to get the rewards right away. But the problem with this is because your brain is trained to get what it wants in the rewards right away. So there's a bit of a conflict there. And you know, you need to instead of getting immediately gratified, practice delayed gratification, right? Because if you could delay your gratification and put time and energy into something without seeing the immediate results, that's what it takes to actually reach new levels and succeed with a business and start making money, for example. Right? So, if you take a look at this graph on the screen right here, I believe it's very representative of what we're talking about here. It's called the plateau of latent potential. It's from a book that I'm going to go over in a second called Ato atomic habits. Now, you know, when you start something new, again, this is like another sort of graph type example. you know, we expect things to be linear, right? Like this is what we expect to happen. Like we're putting our time and energy into something and we expect to kind of just develop and direct proportion the amount of time and energy that we're putting into it as time goes on, right? But in reality, success and reaching your goals is more exponential rather than linear. It doesn't always work in the way that you expect it to, right? So in reality, it's a exponential graph that's actually starts off a little lower at the beginning. So, you know, there's going to be a period of time where you're putting time and energy into something like a business, for example, or even, you know, practicing a new sport in the other example we're discussing where what actually happens is going to be below what you expected was going to happen or take longer than what you expected was going to happen or be more difficult than what you expected was going to happen. And that period of time where your the reality is below the expectations is called the valley of disappointment. Right? So this is where it's like you're putting time and energy something into something but you're a bit disappointed because things are taking longer or harder than what you expected it to be like, right? And this valley of disappointment is where most people quit, right? They this is where they're most likely to like go into the shiny object syndrome and try something new. But you need to understand that as long as you just stick with it, if you, you know, delay your gratification and you have patience and you're willing to like push through this phase, what will actually happen is you will exceed your expectations. Things will take off a lot quicker and be a lot easier than you initially expected it later down the line, right? Compared to at the beginning. So this is what success actually looks like. It's exponential rather than linear. So you know even for me like I started off in business like my the first year that I was trying things like I didn't see any results everything was below my expectations but as soon as I actually picked something and stuck with it which was theme pages even at the beginning it wasn't you know um the way I expected it to you know you guys know my story if you watched at the beginning things took off very quickly later down the line and even exceeded my expectations but the only reason that happened is because I stuck through it through this valley of disappointment. Okay. So, I encourage you guys to do the same and just be aware that there's going to be a period of time typically where your actual results are going to be lower than what you expected, but you know, if especially if you're in the right vehicle, you know, you're going to exceed the expectations ultimately as long as you, you know, stick through with the value disappointment. Okay, so that's the idea of delayed gratification. Hopefully you guys can all practice this and you know if you want to really even master this like try and not be so stimulated throughout the day like don't go on your phone every second and scroll you know don't just watch a Netflix show each time you're bored you know don't eat sugar all the time you know these are training your brain to be very you know immediate gratification driven right whereas if you like do other things like you read a book or you know you take a walk or you work out you know these are things that you don't really get the results from right away, but you know, you see the results later down the line, right? It's delayed. So, you know, the more accustom your brain can get to this delayed gratification stuff, the less resistance you're going to feel when trying something like a business, for example. All right? So, that's the next point. Now, the third point that I want to go over here is focusing on what you can control. Right? This is super super important and just understanding that there's essentially two different realms, right? There's a realm of things that matter and there's a realm of things that you can control. And the only things that you should be focusing on is what is within these two realms. Right? So you shouldn't be focusing your time and energy on things that don't matter. And you shouldn't be focusing your time and energy on things that you don't even have any control of. Right? If you have no influence over it, you shouldn't get distracted by it or you know feel discouraged from it, right? Only focus on what you can control and focus on what matters. This is just an overall concept of life. Not only just in business, just in anything, right? There's only so much you could control. So you have no benefit to being bothered or affected by things outside of your control. Right? We only have so much time and energy and thoughts and focus. And if our time, energy, and thoughts, and focus is dispersed among things that we don't even have control over, what sense does that make? We may as well just focus our time, energy, thoughts, and focus on things that we can control, right? So then specifically with this business with Instagram, you know, as you're going about the process, you know, with building your page and growing and monetizing, like there may be things that come up where it's like you're not getting the views that you want to get to or you're not making as much money as you expected to or maybe something happens to your page and you have to like delete a piece of content or you have like a, you know, restriction for whatever reason. You know, all these type of examples may come up where you actually don't have control over it. Like yes, you have control over let's say the performance of your content, but only to a degree, right? You can't control the actual views that you're getting from the content or how it performs, but you can control the content that you're posting, right? So, you want to focus your time and energy on how you can make better content that people would actually want to watch rather than just being preoccupied with like being discouraged of the actual views that that content got. You see where I'm coming from? Now, there's going to be all different types of examples that come up again with this business or anything else that you're doing just in your life. So just keep in mind to focus on the things that you can control and do have influence over and the things that actually matter because that's what's going to allow you to actually solve those things and make meaningful progress rather than just being preoccupied with things that don't matter or that you can't even control. Okay. Now [snorts] also I want to give you guys a few book suggestions. Um I'm not like the huge most huge book guy and recommend people to read a hundred books. Like yes, books are important, but at the same time, you know, I usually lean towards really understanding and developing the knowledge and skills from a few core books rather than just like on a surface level understanding like a bunch of books where it's like a game, you know what I mean? And these are the three books that have genuinely helped me the most to get me to where I am today and I believe will be super helpful to you guys as well. And again, you know, these are not directly theme page related books. These are just more like personal personal development type books. And I know that sounds cringy to say, but you know, you need to become the type of person who's willing and capable of achieving let's say 5 10k a month in your financial goals and the impact goals that you have with this business rather than just wanting it. Right? So when you really understand specific topics and you act like the type of person who is capable of achieving these things, that's when it actually begins to happen. Right? Now, the first book, Atomic Habits, this one is super, super important because habits, the things that you do on a day-to-day basis, ultimately compound. And even though you might not think about what you're doing on a day-to-day basis, they're going to have an impact in the long run, whether you're aware of it or not. So, you may as well just make sure that the things that you're doing throughout a daily basis are actually beneficial and constructive towards getting you where you want to get to. And this just is pretty much everything that you need to know regarding how to actually create habits that stick and things that will benefit you, right? Uh and other important concepts such as like the plateau of latent potential that I just went over before. Super super helpful, right? Another one is Think and Grow Rich. This is a super super important book that essentially emphasizes that what you think becomes reality and your thoughts dictate your reality. Now, if you're hearing that and you're confused, that's natural. I was at the beginning as well. But you know, your mind and your mindset is really everything. And as soon as you understand that and you also understand how to align your actions with what actually is going to be beneficial for you, then you're able to put yourselves in positions that you want to get into later down the line, right? And this book really is not only just like very informative, but it just gives you actionable things that you can do as well to start like programming your subconscious mind to think and grow rich. Right? This is literally the whole foundation of the book. >> [snorts] >> And I really really suggest this one. This one's probably one of my favorites. Okay. And then the last one that I suggest is the seven habits of highly effective people. And this one is just very very solid. It just goes over some core principles and concepts that you know are a pattern amongst highly success successful and effective and efficient and productive people. And you know if you could become a effective efficient productive person yourself, no matter what you do, you're going to be able to dominate, beat the competition and put yourselves in positions that you want to be in. All right. So these are three very very solid books. I suggest you read them. You're going to get lots of value from them guaranteed. And you know these are also books that I've read like several times myself because I really understand I really value like understanding and downloading the information of certain books into my mind rather than just like surface level you know reading through books and keeping count if that makes sense. All right. So I suggest these for you as well. Um obviously you know try to have the humility to understand that there's things that you can learn and maybe some of these that you guys have already read maybe not. But I just like these ones. Okay. Now, the last thing that I want to go over is the real failure. All right. A lot of people are afraid to try stuff. They have fear and they essentially are afraid of failing. They don't want to try something and put their time and energy into something just to have it not work or fail. So someone might be like watching this video for example kind of thinking of trying it like they're on the edge when in reality they end up not doing it because they're thinking to themselves like worst case scenario what if it doesn't work out what if I fail what happens then that's what some people perceive as failure whereas the real failure in reality is not even trying in the first place because think about it if you don't try the only option is failing your situation isn't going to change if you don't even try something All right? Whereas if you try something, at least you're giving yourself the opportunity to succeed, right? You don't have any opportunity. You have no chance of succeeding if you don't even try in the first place. This is common sense. And you know, they say you could try something, you either succeed or you fail. But if you're asking me, I don't think there's any failure because you you either succeed or there's a roadblock that you over that you face. And by facing that roadblock, it's actually a blessing because that means you don't know something and there's something that you could learn and there's new information that you could obtain or there's new skills that you could develop in order to overcome that roadblock. Right? So a better analogy is you try and you either succeed or you learn or you face a stepping stone that allows you to get closer to success. And the only way that you get to that point is by actually trying something. Whereas if you don't try, if you're afraid of fail, if you're afraid of failing, if you have fear, if you're thinking worst case scenario, the only result of that is failure and nothing changing. Whereas if you at least try, at least you're giving yourself the opportunity to change, right? And again, the only failure is not even trying. And also, there's no such thing as failing ultimately because even if you try and fail, in reality, it's not failing. It's that you come across an obstacle and it gives you the opportunity to learn and develop and get better. Okay, now that's the last thing that I wanted to go over with you guys. Um, I know these don't directly relate to theme pages, but I believe they're really, really important and I believe that the success that you reach businesswise is in very close proportion to the amount that you develop yourself personally and your mindset and just your perspective. So hopefully this equips you with the proper effective frame and lens for you to go ahead and actually apply what we've gone over today in this free course and give you the highest likelihood of actually succeeding with it. Now, with that being said, let's move on. All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the end of the complete Faceless Instagram theme page course. We're around 5 and a half hours in at this point, and I know what you're thinking. You know, Posasha, this is better than any paid course that I've ever taken. Believe me, I know. I'm aware. Now, in all seriousness, nice job for making it to the end and getting up to this point because most people don't, to be quite frank. They just click around on YouTube, they watch a little bit of one video, they're on to the next. they're not really like taking anything seriously and not taking action, right? Whereas you're still here. You've watched the end. You know, maybe you've taken some notes, maybe you haven't, but regardless, it just shows that you're actually serious about reaching your goals, actually making a change. And I commend you for that. And I want to actually reward you for that, right? I love rewarding action takers, people who take this seriously. So, because of that, I'm doing a little giveaway. So, I did this on my last free course as well, but this time I'll be giving away a free strategy call as well as a 70,000 follower theme page that I'll be giving you access to on the call. Right? And this is a good page. It's not like some crappy page with a crappy audience. It's a good page. It's actively growing followers every day. It's in the health niche and it also has majority USA audience, which is great. And it could be monetized as well. So, that's what I'd be going over on the meeting with you, how to actually monetize it. And you know, this way it actually goes to someone that I know will make the best out of it, right? Someone who's serious. So all you have to do in order to get access to it is simply just follow me on Instagram, Poshamoga, and comment down below on this video in the comment section, Insta, and that's what's going to get you added to the giveaway, and I'm going to announce the winner on my story on Instagram or on my next YouTube video, whichever one. Now, with that being said, throughout this entire free course, we've gone over everything literally from the beginning to setting up the page to actually growing it to the right conversion systems to monetize to scaling it into a full-blown business. We've gone over everything, all the information right now. At the same time, information is useless without implementation. Right? Don't be one of those people who just watches a YouTube video, gets lots of information, gets hyped up, takes some notes, but then actually doesn't do anything about it, right? I highly encourage you to actually take action on everything that we've gone over in this video. You have everything that you need, right? All the information is there, right? So, take action on it. Actually do something about it. Don't be one of those people who just like moves on to the next video and takes some more notes and then moves on to the next video and doesn't actually do anything about it, right? So please for your own sake just I encourage you to take action and to implement what we what we've gone over throughout this video. Now with that also being the case there's you know two different types of people right? There's a type of person who's going to try to implement and they're going to go off and do the trial and error and try things on their own and kind of see what works, see what doesn't work and kind of learn from their own mistakes and just kind of, you know, do some guesswork and hope for the best, right? And that's not it's not a bad approach, especially if you want to, you know, kind of get familiar with the business. But at the same time, like it's so much tougher to do it that way because you don't have any direction. You have no clarity. You're going to have specific questions that aren't able to be solved on YouTube or on like AI or just from looking at other pages and you don't have any accountability. And it just makes it a lot tougher to succeed. And even if you do succeed, it will take a lot longer because you're having to like figure out everything by yourself, right? Whereas on the other hand, if you did this with a mentor, I don't care whether it's me, I don't care whether it's someone else, whatever it is. If you do it with a mentor, what that's going to ensure for you is that you can accelerate the process, right? Rather than having to go throughout, you know, the whole process, learning from your own mistakes, doing the trial and error, kind of just aimlessly going about it, you could learn from someone who's already been there, already done that. Ideally, someone who's already done it for himself, who's proved he could do it for other people. you know that way you actually have structure, you have clarity throughout the process and direction and you know feedback and support and accountability. These are so important when it comes to actually succeeding with not only this business but any business, right? And also I talked a little bit about my like own story earlier on, but one of the biggest reasons why I am where I am today and have gotten the results that I've gotten is because of my close proximity with mentors with learning directly from people who were in the position that I wanted to be in. Right? And that's not only the case for me, like it's the same for people that I'm friends with just in business and even the people that I'm closest with right now, like working with directly in this business, like Brandon, Matias, Michael, Alec, you know, some of these people that you may have seen me, you know, document about because I document the results of the people that I work with. Like these people are working directly one-on-one with me. like they get my feedback, my accountability and learn from my years of experience and trial and error, you know, rather than going out and doing that themselves, which takes time and energy and, you know, time is the most valuable asset that we have at the end of the day. Right now, because of that, I am opening some new spots for my one-on-one mentoring called Growth Accelerator. And this is not just like some shitty copy and paste course where you get some like outdated video tutorials and thrown into some like group calls with random people who are not even me. Like this is a direct one-on-one mentorship where you learn directly from me. Like I'm your one-on-one coach. We put together a custom plan based off your page, your niche, your specific goals, and get all types of resources and support along the way to ensure that you succeed with us. Now, if you're the type of person who's committed to making a change, learning these skills, and you understand the value of having a mentor and network who just genuinely wants to help you out and provide support along the way so you could build this business the right way, then take a look at the top link of the description where you'll see a link to apply to see if you qualify to work with me one-on-one. And if you do, we'll just jump on a quick meeting with either me directly or my head coach. We'll just discuss your situation and goals in a bit more detail. See if it even makes sense for us to work together and if I can help you out. And if I can, great. We'll hit the ground running. And if not, no problem at all. I could at least try and point you in the right direction so you still get value from the call. All right. So, you have really nothing to lose. At least you could see if this is something for you. All right. Now, aside from that, thank you for staying to the end. I hope you got value from this video. I'm sure you did if you actually watched it fully through. And also, I'm sure, as you guys can imagine, you know, this took a long time to put together. A lot went into it, you know, structuring everything, all the visuals, recording it all. So, any degree of support would be super appreciated by me. Like whether you, you know, like this video, whether you want to subscribe to see, you know, more in-depth breakdowns like this in the future, or even just sharing it with like a friend who you maybe think would get value from it. Any of that would be very much appreciated. Thank you. And the last thing that I want to say is remember to uh follow me on Instagram, Poshmogga, and comment Insta down below to get added to that giveaway where you could win the strategy call and that 70K follower page from me. And also, if you are the type of person who's committed to making this work and you want the right guidance, you know, you want a team who knows what they're doing, take a look at the link at the top of the description where you could apply, see if it's the right fit. All right, and aside from that, thank you for staying until the end and I will see you in the next one. Peace.
