Are you tired � of having fake followers who will unfollow you after fee hours of following you?

I know you have experienced it. Huge number of accounts followed you after dropping a post, and before you it, the number has reduced again just 24 hours of getting this number of followers.

It is very discouraging �!

I got you covered on this.

After you finish reading this post and take action on the instructions, you will start getting real followers and your engagement rate will also increase.

This is not something you have read somewhere. It is a strategy that I have been employing and it has been working for me and clients that I manage their Instagram account.

Now here we go.....

The easiest way to get real followers is simply by commenting on other people's posts. Instagram gives you a limitation of only following 7500 people.

When you have a brand page and you want to grow it with genuine targeted followers, start by following people who are influencial. For example, you will follow only people you think is influential with regard to your business.

Follow people who are making impact in your niche. Once you have actually followed these people, you will then need a plan. For me, I normally allocate at least 30 minutes to go into these people profile, see what they are doing, and start commenting on their posts.

See, don't forget. The easiest way to get somebody's reaction or someone to take notice of you is to actually show some positively and show some love.

So, when I say commenting, I don't mean going and spamming someone. And please, don't ever go into somebody's post and say, 'please follow me', or, 'please check my account and like my post'.

This is the number one turn off for anybody. And that will be the easiest way for you to be block or flag as spam. So, show some love/positivity. Be a little creative with your comment.

For example, you go to somebody's post that has lets say 20k followers and the person post a picture of him taking a vacation on his private boat with his family. Just simply comment saying,

''that is a beautiful boat, and it is so nice you still have time for your family. Many don't get this time. Enjoy your time with your family.''

See, the way to get people's attention is not to sell yourself of what you are doing on their comment box. The way to sell is by actually commenting with regard to that person's post.

Some people make the mistake of going too direct.

I understand that you want to promote your page, you want to promote your business, but there is a way to go about it, and the best way is to always show some love. And trust me, you will get back some love.

If someone commented on a post of mine, most likely I may actually look into his or her profile, check out his or her feed and with that, I would already know of their brand and follow if it interest me.

So, when you are doing Instagram commenting, your goal should be brand awareness. Not to sell. The selling will come. It may come the same day, the next day or two weeks later.

See, Instagram actually does two things very well. It notifies you when you get a new follower. So, if you go and follow somebody, they will get a notification �. That is the first step for you to gain some form of brand awareness/recognition to somebody else. You click follow, and then you go and comment something lovely.

If you can allocate at least 30 minutes every day to do this, you will see slowly more people taking notice of your brand.

They may follow, they may not follow you immediately. They may like your comment, they may even reply your comment.

The bottom line is, they are now taking note of your brand. So, if you want to get genuine followers and not paid followers, you got to take this hack seriously every day.

In order to grow we need to give ourselves opportunities to grow and you can't do that by just standing still doing nothing.

For you to grow your Instagram page, you need to get your content in front of people. A lot of them. If you have the money you can run ads or pay for shoutouts. If you don't, you gotta to do what ads and shoutouts do manually.

Ads gets a single post in front of thousands of people. You will get more than a single posts in front of many hundreds of people. It doesn't matter how many people get to see the post. What matters is how many of those people will stick around and follow you.

Posting more gives you an amazing opportunity to be discovered, because by posting everyday and using the right hashtags you are getting more eyeballs on your content. And when you provide the most content you will become a preference.

There are 100s of people on social media doing what you are doing. So, you need to give people a very valid reason to follow you. And an amazing reason to give them is your brilliance with quality and quantity when it comes to content.

By posting more you become a very engaged figure in your niche or community and this gives you a privilege. When people have a question, they will come to you. Because you post a lot and talk a lot about your desired topic that you somehow become an expert to your community.

Don't demonize frequent posts because sometimes that is what people really want.

How many posts per week do you guys enjoy consuming from the people you follow? Did it ever get too much?

Buying followers is an easy trap to fall into when your #goal is to simply blow up your number of followers.

But did you know that networks like Facebook are already working to remove fake likes from pages?

So, just remember that it’s not worth it. Fake followers (a.k.a ‘bots or “ghost” followers) and fans do nothing with your engagement. They are just numbers. They don't bring #business to you. .

In conclusion, don't fall into the temptation of buying followers or likes. It won't take you anywhere in your #hustle.

Don't say I didn't tell you. There are better ways to grow your followers organically and with paid means.

Your Instagram can and should be a lead generating machine for your #business ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀
Among the various social media platforms for business, Facebook might have the most overall users, but Instagram is dominating the market in terms of engagement.

Instagram's brand to customer engagement rate is the highest among all social media outlets 15 times higher than Facebook and 40 times higher than Twitter.

If your Instagram account isn’t generating consistent sales and revenue, then it’s time to up your game!

1️⃣ Optimize your Profile for Search: Will your profile or content show up if someone is searching for a business like yours on Instagram? The same way that you #optimize your website, you need to optimize your Instagram.

Start with your name (not your username but the space under your profile photo where you put your full name). Use this space to add searchable keywords so that when users search for businesses like yours, you show up! -⠀⠀

2️⃣ Be Consistent: I know this one sounds like a broken record but it really is important! On average it takes 5-8 touch points before someone makes a decision to actually buy something.

So, be patient and focus on cultivating lasting relationships with your followers. The more your audience see you, the more you have a chance to sell them, so keep sharing great content every day.

3️⃣ Set Realistic Expectations: It’s easy to get carried away with the endless editing and enhancing tools on Instagram. But, there is nothing worse than a disappointed customer. The goal of social media is to create a community of loyal, lasting customers. These types of relationships are built on trust! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you among the people who don't know what to do with their Instagram account, you should read this to the end please.

So, on Sunday after church service, a friend of mine came to me to seek for my advice on starting an online business.

He told me about his love for books if there is anyway to monetize it. I laugh and quickly told him yes he can monetize it by growing a huge following of people like him that love reading the kind of books he reads.

'You can start an Instagram account right now around the subject of books that you read and see how people will camp around you', I told him.

You can build an Instagram account, start by talking about the book you are reading, what you have learned, why you enjoy the book, the page that you are, etc.

Every page you read, share a summary on it. With targeted highly engaging hashtags in your niche, there is no way you won't attract your kind of audience.

I continued explaining many things to him. I even told him that a good way to monetize his kind of interest is through affiliate marketing because this is what I have seen many people do even with blogging.

If there is a book you are reading and people are showing interest, your own is to go on Amazon, sign up as an affiliate (it is free), look for the book, get the affiliate link and drop it on your IG bio.

So, as you continue sharing insights from the book, you keep telling your followers that they can get the book from your bio.

I also told him that one way to really boost engagement is to start something like a "30 days series or challenge" where him and his followers will be sharing insights from a particular book.

I spoke with this guy for like 35 minutes and the only thing that left him mouth was that he is looking for a fast fast way not this one I am talking.

I took a pause, looked at him and was speechless for some minutes as I listen to him telling me how difficult it will be for him to be posting everyday and it will take him ages to be able to build a huge following.

After he has finished speaking, I just told him I had to go that I was already hungry. He thanked me for my time and left.

I was just down emotionally. This guy just flushed a 6 figure business idea down the toilet �.

Do you know I have written an article on this topic for a client before? I have written an article for a client in the past on how to make money as a book reader.

I consulted many sites before I could gather something tangible to write and send to the client. And by doing that, I had to study many materials and get to know that people can actually make money just by reading books.

If he has shown interest, I would have also told him that he can make money by writing book reviews on books � he has read.

After his followers must have read the review, they will want to go get the book if they like the review, and by that, he will be making good commission from his affiliate link.

Aside that, book authors will be messaging him to write a review about their book for a fee. I mean he will be getting paid by authors for him to review their books.

This may not happen immediately, but with patience, consistency and faith, it will surely happen.

Anyways, he will still go back to what he was doing and keep getting the same result. Most people are just in the look out for a get rich quick scheme, and unfortunately, I don't teach that.

So, today I want to share with you how to get viral content that you can post on my Instagram page to command high engagement.

A viral post is basically a post that gets higher engagement, perhaps twice than the average engagement they get on every post.

It is not that hard as people might be thinking. For those that just created their account and have not posted any content, or those that have created but are finding it hard to consistently upload new content, this is for you.

Here is how to get viral content that you can use for your page...

� Go to other accounts in your niche to see their posts. Look around and see their average likes on every post. Perhaps on average, they are getting 5k likes but suddenly you see a post getting 10k likes.

BOOM �

That is a sign that of higher engagement. That is our target.

Now, you could either..

REPOST that image to your account and give credits to the original owner of that post by tagging.

OR

REMAKE a similar picture and remake the content too and upload it as your own using the same hashtags.

Its proven that it will go viral, no doubt. You should also be posting maybe 4 to 6 times a day if possible. You want to let Instagram know that you are active and are posting consistently.

The fact still remains that more posts = More reach and impressions on your account �.

Hope this helps in boosting your engagement on your page?

If you want me to audit your account and tell you why you are not experiencing the kind of results you desire, feel free to reach out to me via 07037569338 (WhatsApp).

I audit account for free, I don't charge for that.

After making a lot of cash on Facebook selling my freelance writing service and some digital products in different niches, I decided to jump on Instagram to give it a try.

I created my Instagram account early September this year with the intention to generate cash from it (especially in dollars) just as I have been doing with Facebook in Naira.

I was testing so many niches. I first started as a personal development coach, then I switched to a millionaire mentor faking a lifestyle without knowing what I will eventually sell when I finally build the huge following.

I even went as far as creating another account in the weight loss niche posing as a weight loss expert. I grew this two accounts to 200+ following within a week.

As I was growing these accounts, I was reading blog posts upon blog posts, watching YouTube videos that has anything with making money with Instagram on it.

As I was learning, my understanding was opening and I found out that I was doing something wrong, and also, I wasn't going to last if I choose to continue with what I was doing.

Immediately, I closed the two account, went back to the materials I have gathered during my learning from different mentors.

I drew out a new plan and strategy and created a new account as an ecommerce website designer and an Instagram ads expert.

Now, was I really a website designer or marketing expert? No. I don't even know anything about website design.

So, what was my plan?

To act as a middle man unknowingly to clients.

I will go out to look for clients that needs this service, get a deal, handover the project to a website designer at a lower fee and keep the difference.

And guess what! It worked as planned.

I used a technique I learned from one of the most influential digital marketer in the world and within two weeks, I landed 2 clients where I made a commission of $100 each.

That was $200 within two weeks of launching my new account in the website design niche (ecommerce to be precise).

All the client I have been working with, to them I am the one doing the job. All I do is take the money from the client, pay the website designer and keep the difference. I make sure in every transaction I get nothing less than $100 as my own share.

My lowest ever has been $50.

My website designer don't even know this as he doesn't know how much I do charge my clients. He just know I get a commission from every transaction.

This is the strategy I still use till date as it works. It doesn't only work for website design niche. I have tried it for social media management niche, and I have landed clients with it.

I manage people's account on Instagram using this very technique.

I know you have been on Instagram now for months, if not years, and I can swear that landing clients has not been easy for you.

Am I right?

Now, I will be sharing this technique with members of my WhatsApp community, "The 3am Hustle" on our weekly free training coming up on Friday this week by 7:00pm.

Are you a graphic designer, content creator or whatever service you render online. As far as you render a service online, this technique will work for you. I don't sell digital products on Instagram, I sell services and I am making a full time income from it.

Join me now so you don't miss this class as you are not the only one reading this now. Chat me up on WhatsApp via 07037569338 with the keyword, "The 3am Hustle" and you will be added.

For those interested on how to make money with an Instagram account, here is a guide on how it is possible.

Instagram is becoming one of the biggest social platforms on earth, and it holds the second place right under Facebook. In all fairness, in a couple of years, it may dethrone Facebook as the new social media king.

So, it’s pretty clear that investing in this platform is a smart thing to do, especially if you want to make money with your account.

I am sure you must have seen the countless news reports on celebrities making enormous paychecks for merely sharing a photo on their Instagram profile.

Currently, one of the top earners, Ms. Selena Gomez, earns up to 500,000 USD per sponsored post! I gathered that she is a world-known celebrity and has over 100m followers, but can you realistically expect the same?

Unless you’re a celebrity or a famous influencer, you most likely won’t be receiving large payments, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t earn a decent paycheck by following my Instagram money-making guideline.

I am set to show you the realistic side of Instagram money making schemes.

Join my free training happening live today by 7pm on my WhatsApp group. Just chat me up with this keyword, "The 3am Hustle" via 07037569338 and you will be added.

See you at the other side!

See, you want to start an online business or you have already started and are planning to do your first launch. But there is something, you are skeptical about the outcome. You are not sure it will go well.

In fact, you are thinking of the possibility of it going wrong. And guess what?

It will go wrong.

The launch will not yield the desired result.

The online business will turn soar and you will be tempted to give up.

Why?

Your mindset.

If you have not read, 'As a Man Thinketh' by James Allen, I will advise you go do that right now. It is a very powerful book on the law of attraction after 'Think and Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill

The reason most people fail in life and in business is because they are the cause. Their mindset is vibrating in a different direction from what they want, and they just can't do anything about it because they don't even know what to do in the first place.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought.

Mindset is everything.

This is one of the secret of success that I have been implementing into my life and it has been working for me. This is more of a spiritual principle than physical.

You desire success, yet your mind is not connecting with your desire. You are thinking of why it will not happen instead of thinking of it happening.

Everyday when I wake, I devote at least 30 minutes to mindset. I spend time with my mind, meditating, visualizing and speaking out the outcome of what I want for my life to the universe.

One of my best affirmations is, 'I am open to receiving money now'. This is how I empower my mind and most times I get the result I envision for myself.

You will not succeed in life and business until your mind is set on what you want (the outcome).

You must have faith that whatever must happen for you to achieve your goal will indeed occur. One weakness I see in most people is poverty of imagination.

You will attract to you whatever you are in harmony with.

Hold the image of success in the present tense and see how things will start working for you. Do otherwise, and see how you will hate life.

The level of your imagination is the platform that God will work with. If your mind is not set for success, you will get whatever nature gives to you.

Everything is mindset!

Grace is upon you!

YES, YOUR WILDEST DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE --BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS FIRST
********************************************************
"Nobody will ever pay you to solve your own problems. But, they will line up if you can solve theirs".

So, what problems do you want to solve?

People make money when they solve problems. Look at the wealthy people you know. They are wealthy today because they are solving problems. The more problems they solve, they more their wealth.

Bill gate?
Donald Trump?
Aliko Dangote?
Mike Adenuga?

These are men that are solving the problems of housing, communications, productivity etc.

Market women are solving problems. Don't just look at it as a trade. They are solving problems and are making a profit from of it.

Website designers are solving problems, bloggers are solving problems, entertainers are solving problems, information marketers are solving problems, even pets are solving problems.

Look, if you are reading this and you are broke, it is because you are either not solving any problem or you are solving a small problem anyone, I mean anyone can solve.

No one, and I repeat no one makes money without solving a problem. Even as an employee, you are helping your boss save time and make more money, and in return he or she pays you a salary for it.

But, the only problem is, you are limited to how much you make a month irrespective of the intensity of the problem you solve.

You can't ask for a raise when you wish, you can't absent from duty just to go visit your family or friends, you can't even talk your mind when you get insulted.

As an entrepreneur, you get the chance to choose what problem you wanna solve and to what extent you choose to.

The ONLY thing you need to make UNLIMITED MONEY?

An ability to help people get the results they want. It does not require any degrees, diplomas, or certifications.

The only way, and I mean the only way you can become rich and extremely rich is by solving problems whether online or offline.

I make enough money online, and I mean enough because I solve more than one problems in the marketplace.

Offline?

Yesterday I was invited to drum in RCCG women convention and was paid. Today, I played piano and was also paid. I am solving a problem as a drummer and pianist.

There is no way you will have a skillset that solves problems and you will be hungry or remain broke.

If you do and are still broke or not making enough, then you need to learn how to sell yourself.

So, once again, what problems do you want to solve online?

Why am I asking this question? Because that is the only way you can make money whether online.

How do people make money online?

1. They pick a niche
2. They pick a problem they want to solve in that niche.
3. They provide the solution to their targeted audience.

They rinse and repeat �

It may not be clear to you.

Tomorrow evening, I will be sharing with on my WhatsApp community (The 3am Hustle) how I made $220 within two weeks on Instagram as an ecommerce website designer and Instagram marketer.

It is going to be an eye opener to those who are yet to find what they can do online to make money.

One day you're going to jump out of bed and decide to take things to the next level and blow the world away with your potential!

You're not going to worry about what other people think or say!

You're not going to worry about your current circumstances or what you're going through!

You're not even going to worry about your next pay cheque or your bills & debts!

You're just going to jump out of bed and be overcome with passion and a sense of purpose that makes you feel the greatest sense of certainty and power!

You're going to look in the mirror with tears of joy in your eyes and declare once and for all that you're never ever going to play small with your life, dreams and your potential again!

You're going to get out there and DO IT! You won't care if it is even possible or if it's ever going to work out because you're so far beyond committed that nothing or no one can get in your way or stop you!

You're going to OWN your life and you're going to walk outside your house, look back at your life and run like you've never ever run before and you're never going to stop running until you finally become everything you wanted to be!

I haven't stopped running... Because I waited so long just for that one day to arrive!

I wasted years living in doubt and fear and worrying about what people would think if I stood up and started writing and talking and sharing my gifts with the world.

Now, that one day is my everyday!

Don't wait for one day. Make that day... Today!

Happy new month...

Grace is upon you!

LIVE FOR THE BAD DAYS, THE GOOD ONES TEACH NOTHING
********************************************************

Stop relying on that good/peaceful happy day mood.

Come on guys and girls, I have never achieved anything from happiness! And happiness is so overated. You need pain, you need adversity in your life because that way you will have progress and the drive to achieve great things.

Don't rely on having good mood. Rely on taking your current situation and making the most out of it.

I have read so many messages from lazy ass people saying they need this and that and they can't make money online because of this and that.

Listen brethren, I made my first $600 online with a shitty phone that froze 70% of the time.

I had no laptop, no PC � and definitely none to guide me. Yet all of my friends and people I knew had iPhones and new smartphones and laptops.

I am not here to brag but to let you know that;

* The real hustlers will make things happen
* The real hustlers will only accept results and not excuses.
* The real hustlers will let Monday through Sunday beat the ship out of them.

Get fucking inspired. Get angry with yourself for your future sake. Go get shit done!

Grace is upon you!
