for smaller accounts that nobody wants to buy shoutouts from register to some kind of premium sms provider write something like this under post "want to sponsor next post/want me to mention you under next post/want my 1000/10000/100000 fans see your @... handle under next post? send sms xxx to xxx number (cost xxx) and confirm your number via dm " instagram users are attention whores (especially women) 99% are not aware that they can pay to someone to promote them 99%(of the humans) don't know that they want something before they realize they want it they will look "cool" to show to their bff "look i am famous this account mentioned me" and it cost me only 2/5/10/20$ sending text is faster, everyone has a phone - not everyone has paypal there is no underlying "shame" that people feel when they have to ask stranger for a favour or just talk business in general (i want to be famous but i am scared you will laugh at me because i am just starting) - it's just i sent sms from xxx number mention @.... under next post with cost of footlong and big coke they get their "5 minutes of fame" and few hours of checking their account and this dopamine rush "lets see how many people will check my account/how many new likes/how many new follows/am i famous yet/am i kylie jenner yet?" you get those extra few bucks everyday as a motivation "to keep going and keep growing" anyone tried it?
