If you had the chance to go back in time to when you started your Instagram account (or were midway through the journey) and you had $3,000 how would you spend it in order to benefit your account? What would you have changed differently compared to your past methods?

Im asking because I have been recently saving, and I think that now is a good time to see that money be put into work. All methods/ideas/input are welcome and are WELL appreciated. Thanks!

[UPDATE] I am not planning to use the money all at once Im thinking more long term

Otherwise buy some shoutouts.

Whatever you do, don't use all that money at once. Start small at first and see if your method is really working. If so, then you should invest more money in scaling things up.

It would be sad to just loose $3000 on something like this.

I'd keep doing whatever was already working, buy 2 pieces of tar and have a bit over a grand to buy some more tar when that runs out. That's just me though, probably not the best game plan.

as in? I appreciate the response but it wasn't quite the answer I was looking for. Could you be a little more specific?

I would provide those $ to CEOSAM and purchase a house in a month.

Mickyfu will explain this method further.

Do you have any specific skills?

I'd try to find what I'm either really good at already, or something I have huge interest in. Then, I'd look at the current situation of businesses in that area and ask myself the question, "how could I provide a vastly better service than any of my competitors? What are they lacking, that would make my customers so happy they'd tell their friends about it?". Working this out, I'd try to create a website around this concept and slowly build up an authority site. Not wasting any money, but rather using it only where necessary while not taking any shortcuts. Maybe invest a little bit each month into whitehat SEO for brandbuilding, but otherwise just keep on going. Furthermore, I'd try to find maybe 1-2 other people who would be an incredible asset to the brand I'm building, and create a JV together. It's rare that you can build up something valuable alone, and most of the time you'll make more profit by sharing if your partners contribute enough.

That's what I'm actually doing.

Good luck!

warm regards,

I think depends on your niche, and what you did with your account. In my case I would spend on stuff to do giveways.

Black hat methods to grow followers plus legit giveaways can boost your account to the sky.

Invest the money in a niche that is also part of your hobby because this way you do what you like. If you do something you don't like, just for the sake of money, it's just a loss of time and your life will suck.

If you like fishing, do a blog about fishing, open an online store with fishing stuff, advertise it etc...

Let's start from: What do you like to do?

If I could get back in time (about 3 years) and had 3000 dollars I would spend them all to buy bitcoins. After a year I would have had 100X the money. The funny thing is that 3 years ago I was thinking to buy bitcoins but I was totally broke...

I've had mixed results from shoutouts. Not sure I would spend that money on paid shoutouts.
