I've run dozens and dozens of experiments on Instagram and figured out exactly what works best and more importantly what doesn't work!
The growth in my account over the years has froze over and over again. First at 1k, then it seemed I couldn't reach 5k, then 10k and the pattern kept repeating.
But after discovering and figuring out exactly how to do collaborations with other influencers that has all changed!
Every time I seemed to get stuck and can't get my new following back on track again I just turn back to my collaboration strategies that have gotten me here in the first place to get me going again!
This is the first time I've ever shared with anyone my step by step process on each of the exact steps I use to increase my following and engagement the right way!
So why am I sharing this? Well first off I don't need to keep this a secret as I think the power of social media will continue to grow and there is plenty of room for people like you who want to do it the right way on Instagram and in ways that best serve your audience.
But the other reason I am doing this now is because of all the spammy and bad tactics I see! I don't want influencers getting sucked into these short term tactics that can be bad for your account in the long term!
One example is Giveaways and Contests. I have used them to consistently as part of my collaborations to grow my account over the years and its one of the key strategies I'm going to show you in the training. But there are some bad ones that some large influencers continue to use.
Like 'LOOP Giveaways' where a bunch of Instagram influencers get together and give away a massive prize like $10k cash or something. People have to enter by following a huge list of accounts.
Some of the accounts in the contest increase their following over night by thousands. Sounds great right? Not really! Since the prize is not relevant to your account (and your potential follower) most immediately just unfollow after the contest is over!
You don't want anyone to follow you just so you have big numbers. You want the right kind of follower who is actually interested in your content and will continue to follow and engage with you when the contest is long over.
I don't want you to fall for these type of contests and collaborations and put your hard earned money towards bad tactics for short term success.
The strategies I show you attracts the right kind of followers and keeps them happy and engaged with you and your account for the long term!
