Pay someone to design and implement an Instagram strategy,

You have no understanding of the context in how to use the platform.

Why would I pay someone to do that? That why im here to dude to learn. Really didnt know there was much of a strategy in using instagram, i assumed it was just posting pictures, yeah ik that what ive been doing with the models and what celebrity drive.

This is meant to be a positive journey thread, more for me, to keep track of my progress not so much for you especially when your being negative and insulting my skills.

I posted this to get some help and keep track your last few post have been negative and hasnt helped me out at all, so please try to be more positiove, if not i will be ignoring all your furthur post like your not even here.

You tell me all this stuff "Oh i got 100 uv in 2 weeks with a 1500 followers account" honestly 100 uv isnt that much in 2 weeks, also like i said even that my account has 13.2k folllowers doesnt mean they are all active it seems like maybe 20 percent of my followers are active if that.

Anyways thats what i wanted to say. Theres a reason why im trying to make money online instead of the real world, to get away from all the violence, negativity and shitty people, im certainly dont need any of that here.

You have been on Instagram 8 months and post 50 times a day and wonder why I said you should pay someone to do it for you?

100+ UV per day from a new account is good, it's very simple when you understand Instagram, I have given you good constructive advice if you actually implement it.

Your lazy and act entitled when people take time out of their day to help you when you don't help yourself through self education.

WHY WOULD YOU POST 50 TIMES A DAY ON INSTAGRAM?

WHY WOULD YOU POST 50 TIMES A DAY ON INSTAGRAM?

Who Said I post 50 times a day? Checkout some of the biggest pages in the cars niche, they post a bunch a day.

It doesnt matter how much you post if you are posting good content, isnt that why people are on instagram? To view content, now if it is spamming and such then id agree with you, but your making it seem like you can only post 1-2 times a day and i just dont agrees with that, i feel like you lose engagement.

How am i lazy and entitled? Build a 6 figure income on ebay and then maybe you can tell me im lazy. Im new and in experience, but i just dont get why you think im lazy? Because im asking questions? Thats how you learn, start a business on ebay or something your not experienced with or good at and i'd wonder how many questions you have.

SOme of you people on here make me sick, you want someone to go through all the trouble you've been tthrough to find the winning formula instead of just telling them how to do it? That doesnt make sense, if we were direct competition then okay, but i doubt anyone in the same niche, is selling the same stuff as me.

If you needed help on ebay, id do it in a heart beat i may even give you names of my suppliers, because im not the only person selling the same thing so i dont care, there already is competition.

AGAIN WHO SAID THEY POST 50 times a day?

The funny thing is you act like some expert yet you only have 1500 followers.

I must be doing something right ever since i changed up setting on follow liker these are the numbers ive been doing and today isnt even over yet and ive been unfollowing only today and im still getting tons of followers

Today i posted about 50 times all related pics of my niche.

I own 3 growing ecommerce businesses + consult with funded/ bootstrapped ecommerce businesses (the reason behind me starting 18 Instagram pages is because I know the level of sales it drives).

The 1500 following 100/200 UV daily was an example of a new venture.

You're entitled because you want all the answers with no effort on your end, and maybe the lack of respect towards me and the other 2-3 people who helped you might be the reason nobody else is willing to.

But keep spamming on Instagram and whining on a forum I'm sure that will help grow your business.

Lol respect isnt given it is earned, how have you earned my respect? from you lack of advice and insults?

And the other 2 people? what other 2 people? i dont recall being rude to disrespectful to anyone?

Funny how my screen shot shut you right up, you have been talking junk about my methods this whole time

Sending a screenshot just showed your need to overcompensate due to me mocking your shortcomings.

Follower size isn't impressive to me, sales are and overall ability to build brand.

I want everyone to succeed (even you), but I don't care to know your income/ follower size through screenshot.

If you scroll through all my comments and don't find it helpful that's your objective opinion,

But I've told you how to outlay content in order to grow brand/ sales what else do you want?

Sythix · Dec 17, 2015

Quality before quantity, you can have a 20k list that nets you 10 sales, or you could have a targeted 1k list that nets you 10 sales. I know which one is rather have.

Dbeck is actually giving some good advice.

DUDE i never said i didnt find your info helpful, everything you posted on the first page of this thread was helpful, but you started throwing insults at me saying i dont know what im doing, i should hire someone and yada yada yada, I have an idea would you like to work on my instagram page for free? I doubt you would, im not in the market currently of paying anyone, im not interested in paying someone to do something i could do if i learn it, i learn stuff over the last few days that i am now implementing and it should help.

You keep on bringing up stop spamming and you keep making 50 post a day? I ahvent made 50 post a day since 1 week ago, because i learned not to do that and yet you keep bring ing that up when i havent done it in over a week.

At the end of the day im here to keep track of my progress and learn and get advice, you ahve helpful advice but you also gave insults, i dont need insults, its already hard enough to stay motivated, but to ge ton a forum and gets insutls from memebers and whenthis si what they do for a living can be very discouraging.

It is better to have a small and loyal following that will offer repeat custom, which will lead them to refer your brand to friends.

But mocking you is my favourite activity on this forum *laughs*

Hiring someone was a genuine statement from me, Instagram has the users attention with most content output being consumed by your followerbase which if you execute you can build a scalable business.

I'm happy to give advice and mentor people but you need to meet me half way, I am not going to do everything otherwise you would need to pay me.

Tell me what niche you are in and I will give you several examples on how to run your page

Here is an example of Instagram done right 10/10:

https://www.instagram.com/frank_bod/

User hashtags: #letsbefrank #thefrankeffect

A lot of their customers take selfies using the product and tag them, If a customer has 327 real life friends as followers it acts as a direct referral.

Sidenote they are set to do $20M in sales and are pretty much an 'Instagram brand' only.

Instagram Video is effective:

Im in the car niche and i just started a 2nd page today that is the luxury niche, im trying to figure out if i should do luxury in general or a specific luxury item, like exotic places, items, houses, ect.

Look i need all the help i can get, im not trying to be a Hard A**, im just genuinely trying to get some extra help.

Depending on what you can do for me and my pages id be open minded to paying you i just dont want to dump tons of money into an experiement at this point im jsut really experimenting.

smp2014 · Dec 18, 2015

My advice to you is quite simple dont post any selling product pics because you will start to loose followers , publish only awesome content, avoid the buy this or that or special discount blah blah.... Instead focus in your bio going right to the point targeting you store page. Anything different will not have success

What is your business model? What are you selling?

Here are good luxury accounts (non ecommerce)
https://www.instagram.com/the_luxury_life/
https://www.instagram.com/thebillionairesclub/

But it depends on what you are trying to achieve, you shouldn't start Instagram business accounts like that for direct sales as people are following for good content not to buy a product.

Instagram will only pay how you treat it, I treat it as a business and not an experiment.

If you can get 100's of visitors daily from early stage you should convert anywhere from 2-7% into sales.

Yeah i understand but it seems like just about every account is selling something, you know what i mean, im treating it as a business but at the end of the day its just and experiement im not dumping my whole entire life savings into something i dont know much about, so im experiemnting with it trying to get it figured out.

it seems your countradicting your self alittle bit, you first say "you shouldn't start Instagram business accounts like that for direct sales as people are following for good content not to buy a product"

then you go on to say "If you can get 100's of visitors daily from early stage you should convert anywhere from 2-7% into sales."

im just confused, should i or shouldnt promote my website, when i mean promote i mean make a post with it for every 5 content, i post 1 promo.

bigstuffpoppin · Dec 18, 2015

if shopify doesnt workout, im considering making a luxury/car website and promoting that with my instagram and hopefully i get returned visitors everday and i make some money with ads,

How much could i make from 1 click on a ad from a auto/car website?

I have business accounts and niche accounts so:

Business accounts have a link to ecommerce store
Niche accounts have no links and are used to grow a large targeted following and then shoutout my business accounts which will result in them growing a following and building sales through ecommerce.

You don't have to invest financially but you have to be commited to understanding the context of the platform (or like I suggested hiring someone if that's easier).

If it is a business account you should post every 3-4 posts about your product, If you only have 1 account you need to have a means of driving traffic through either shoutouts or growing niche pages around your brand.

For example if your starting a car accessory ecommerce store selling keyrings or stickers

You should start growing niche pages of supercars and then shoutout your business page, you need to be able to drive traffic.

Here is a good example of a business page for car accessories: https://www.instagram.com/thecarbonclip

Do you see how a lot of posts are of luxury cars? that's called 'branding' they sell a luxury accessory clip and use pictures of supercars for branding by association so that customers view their products in the same context as luxury cars that are displayed on the Instagram.
