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,

different milestones that I hit along the way, what that looked like for me personally on my journey. Overall, just

inspiring for you just to kind of get us kicked off. Module two will be theme page essentials. This will be giving you

from the beginning. Module four, how to grow with viral content. Module five, how to monetize the attention as you're

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
