$10,000 in 90 Days with This Instagram Growth Strategy

So if I was to start Instagram from scratch and my goal was to generate $10,000 within the next 90 days, here's exactly how I would do it and the framework I would follow from day 1 all the way to day 90. And if you stick around this video, you'll of course understand how the algorithms kind of like work for service-based business owners, what type of content you need to post, how much money you need to invest. All these type of things are pretty much going to be explained in today's video. So stick around and it's going to be absolutely absolutely super strategic and you're going to walk away with some extremely golden nuggets and value you can pretty much implement by yourself, if I'm being honest. And if you're wondering why I'm bouncing around, it's because I'm on a walking treadmill, just trying to get some steps in as well. All right. So I have kind of like a presentation made for you guys over here where it basically kind of like walks you guys through everything with visual concepts. So day 1 to 7, what happens day 8 to 21, what happens day 22 to 30, all the way towards 90, basically. With visual explanations on what to do and what to expect. Now I do wanna just kinda like clear this out as well because some people think that this is just, you know, like you just do some stuff and you start making some money. Effort is still required. Now if you do exactly what's being told, you are going to make some money. Is it going to be $10,000? Not necessarily. So this is my disclaimer. The effort needs to match on what you're going to be doing within, of course, the strategy I'll be displaying to you. There's a high chance you might not make any cash. Because you might be a completely lazy person. I don't know who's watching this. So that's just my disclaimer for this video. But I do want to tell you, if you follow this for the tea and if you do exactly what I say, then the chances just increase of you making the money. Are you going to make this amount? Perhaps not. Perfect. Cool. All right. So day 1 to 7 is something you need to make sure that you need to optimize your profile for, because if your profile still looks like this. So for example, let's say you have Dr. Barry and these are all like just AI generated. So I'm not using like real people because I don't want to get in trouble. So, but this is like a good example because some profiles genuinely look like this. So you have Dr. Barry with, you know, just hashtags in here, random pictures, cats, some memes. Then you have Dr. Bob_Smelt Health Tips. And then you're like, hi, I'm Bob, family medicine physician, maybe specialist in everything, love medicine, hates taxes. So very random profile. And then of course, the last example you have is Dr. Alex Carter, medical doctor, passionate about just a doctor sharing info, open to new things. So even this is not a bad bio, but as you can see, like, this is— if you land on a page and if this a page like this messages you to sell you something, you're most likely not going to respond to them or just ignore them at the very least. So you need to make sure your profile is optimized and it looks something like this. And all of these are our clients. So we have of course attorney J.R. Rosen who's sitting at around like 1,000 followers at the time of this making this video. Dee Gotham, 84,000 followers. Sakla Law, 12.9,000 followers. Dee, we specifically help with ads now. She does most of the organic stuff. Herself. We've helped with some organic videos in the past, but mainly her organic stuff is done by herself with Takla, Turney. Every single thing you see when it comes to the content, the bio is pretty much done by us. And you can kind of like see a repetitive theme over here. Um, the profile picture looks very clean. It's just a headshot. You can see their face visibly, and that's pretty much it. Even the bio, like the bio is pretty good. I think the best example in this case would be of course D Gotham, where she says, I help South Asian women shed fat and build muscle sustainably. So you need to ask yourself, like within 3 seconds of visiting your profile, do I know what this person does? Because in an ideal world, every single person who visits your profile, they kind of like spend 10 to 20 minutes to see what they do. But that unfortunately is just not the reality. The person who comes to your profile, they probably will only give you 3 seconds to decide if this is a page worth following, scrolling over, watching some content, and then just becoming a follower, I guess would be the main goal for here. Because as soon as they're a follower, there's a lot of things you can do to just kind of like, you know, just sell them something because that's where everything starts. When people start following you. So you have to make sure your profile is optimized. So this is pretty much within day 1 to 7. And getting a good headshot is not that difficult nowadays. You can use a tool like an image generator tool like Nanobanana Pro, or you can just use your iPhone to get like a clean picture, use some AI tools in it to get like a clean, proper headshot. Like that's in today's age is very easy to do. So I highly recommend you can like find certain ways to do that. Same thing with the bio, just be very clear with what you do. Try to remove all the fluff. So for example, let's say if you're a— I don't know, this could be like a local example. If you mow lawns, you can just be like, hey, I help Houston, or I help this specific zip code, whatever the area is, keep their lawns clean by doing X, Y, Z. You need to be very careful and very curated on what that specific text and line is going to be, because that is what people are going to be pretty much making a decision of. This is a person, A, if they want to reach out to you, and then B, if they want to follow you or watch some of your content. So it's going to be very, very important. Same thing here. Very simple. Just personal injury attorney, Rosen Law Group, car, car and truck accident cases, super lawyers, rising stars. So this is just kind of a filler thing. And we also just have the phone number here if somebody just wants to reach out to them immediately. Ideally, you could also have like another phone call button over here, but some people are visual. We just have that button over here. So very, very important is to optimize this, optimize the profiles to its full certain extent. Perfect. Cool. All right. So this is pretty much your task for day 1 to 7. Now let's move on to day 8 to 21, which is creating purposeful content every single day. Now this is of course 90 pieces of content ideally you need to create. So like maybe you're even going past the 90 days, maybe to like 100 days. But if you want to of course start, let's say you get everything optimized within day 2, like you can literally start creating content on day 3 and day 4 and just get a head start. And every single day the content needs to be strategic as well. You can't be posting random videos. So every video needs to have a good hook, a value, and a call to action. Now if you don't already know this, like a good hook is basically the first 5 seconds of every single video. What does that person need to hear, see? What is a pattern interrupt that needs to occur for them to stop scrolling and watch your video? That's pretty much the hook. The value is pretty much going to be, okay, are we delivering on the promise that this person has committed to watch the video on? That's basically the value. Call to action is basically what do you want them to do after watching your video? Do you want them to book a call? Do you want them to follow the page? Usually what we recommend is just following your page or be just using the link in the bio to book a call. It's either or. I really like using the follow one because as soon as they become a follower, and I'll explain more further down the line as well as we progress in this video, why follow is so important. But that's pretty much kind of like the ones we use. Now, another important thing is to try out different formats, because if you're not trying out different formats, especially in today's age, because if you're just creating one type of content, meaning talking head videos, where you just open a camera and just start talking to the camera, and that's pretty much it with like some high-end editing, that doesn't necessarily work as well as it used to before, because everyone knows what that is. Everyone just tries to create it. Every editor just has learned the same exact formula and techniques of editing. So it's just kind of like saturated. It's a very saturated format because there's a levels to kind of like social media on how in-depth you can go. Some of you guys might be super basic where you just like, hey, I just want to post some videos. That's fantastic. And you can honestly just, you know, hire some editor, hire some videographer and pretty much do that with using some ChatGPT scripts. But that just doesn't work anymore. So my thing is like, if you're going to be investing your time into this anyways, might as well do it properly. So put more emphasis on what type of format you need to create. And by format, it could be like maybe it's a reaction video. Of course, you can still do some talking head videos because let's say you have very interesting topics to talk about. Let's say you're a divorce lawyer. You can talk about like endless stories. People enjoy that stuff. You can talk about tier list videos, you can talk, you can make like clone videos. And by clone videos, it could be something like, you know, just two people standing side by side and one person says, okay, here's how I do X. And then another clone says, here's how I do B. And then this is basically a comparison videos. So you can get very creative with those type of videos. This could be a video like this where like there's multiple clones and you're just pretty much talking about, you know, different things. So that's basically what I mean by you know, just different formats. Like this is like a cool, interesting format. Now, honestly, I could have just created this by sitting down and just saying like, hey, here's the difference between stories, reels, carousels. But this is just a much more engaging format and people would just love to watch that even more, which is kind of like super important. So you need to try out different types of formats and not just necessarily stick to one particular format because if you're only creating one format and Instagram is visibly telling you like, hey, the reason why we're not giving you views or the reach you want is because you're just boring. You're just trying out one format. Give us something else and then we'll try to see which one works best for you. And then you can just double down on this. So let's say reaction videos do extremely well for you. Just double down on reaction videos. Just keep creating reaction videos till it doesn't work anymore. So that's pretty much the strategy you need to follow every single day for the next 90 days till you find a winning format and then you basically double down on it. So I have a visual over here. So let's say format number 2, which is maybe like reaction videos in this case as an example, just double down on that format and your expertise needs to be present in every single video. Don't try to create dance videos. And you can watch, of course, my approach on viral video videos on, you know, what type of content to create and what type of content you need to avoid. And, you know, basically what happens if you create content like this, every single video that you create just demonstrates some sort of expertise, even if it's like a silent video, whatever video it is, make sure— and this is a very important point— like you have to make sure you're like presenting your expertise because you own a business. This is not something you're doing to becoming an influencer because becoming an influencer and running a business, like that's two different approaches and two different tactics. Influencers need all the followers and likes so they can get sponsorship deals. You need to make more money with your own current business. So you're utilizing social media in a very reverse manner. You don't necessarily need a lot of likes, followers, views, you know, and a 50% engagement rate. Would that help now? 100%. But you don't necessarily need that in order to, you know, make money. Like, you don't understand the amount of pages that you might be following or exist that have like under 10,000 followers that make over 6 figures a month because they're only talking to their specific core demographic. Because 1 million views of a video that you danced on versus 5,000 views repetitively on your expertise is going to make you way more money. A million views video is just a set and forget thing. Like, how many videos on a daily basis you watch? You scroll through Instagram, you see these videos, and all of a sudden, like 5 minutes later, try to remember half of these videos. You probably wouldn't remember those. But if you see that face again and again, if you are seeing a video multiple times, you're more likely to remember that face. So aim for, of course, targeted viewers and try to present your expertise in every single video, which is going to be extremely important. Perfect. And I also have kind of like a content strategy pillars, which you can of course take a screenshot on and perhaps use which pillar 1 is just problem aware. Talk about the pain your ideal clients feel, focus on their challenges. Pillar 2, proof, show results, share testimonials. And this is something you can also put within the highlights, which is going to be extremely important. Pillar 3 is going to be the process. Show how you actually do the work and reveal your method. You don't need to post 3 times a day. You need to post 3 types of content and keep it simple. Now, of course, this doesn't necessarily mean you only post this type of content. You can have maybe out of the 90 videos, maybe like 10 videos could be reflecting this because this type of content is going to be very bottom of funnel content, meaning content which is mainly for your target customers. That's what it's called, bottom of funnel content. It's not meant to get a lot of views. It's only meant to convert your current customers. So very, very important that kind of like we take care of this. Days 22 to 30, it's going to be pretty much the DM outreach strategy and engagement as a signal. So I'll tell you pretty much what that means. And it's extremely simple. So let's say day 22, we've posted at least 15 pieces of content, we've optimized the profile, and we're sitting at around like, I don't know, 50 to 100 followers. Let's just say we're starting from scratch. And that's something we've built into 50 to 100 followers. You've like invited all your friends and family, you've kind of like reached out to people, you've somehow accumulated 100 followers at this point. That's particularly what I would do. Now, in this case, of course, if you already know a lot of people, you already know a lot of friends, you already have kind of like 500 followers that you're sitting on, chances are you're watching this video, you already have an Instagram page and you already have a head start on there. You perhaps only need to optimize and you only need to create content to pretty much get to this point. Now, what you can do over here is you can start initiating conversations for every likes, comments, and shares you get. Anybody who comments on your post, anybody who likes your actual post, you can literally start real conversations. This is what you can pretty much do to supercharge the initial deal flow. So like, hey, thanks for sharing my post on topic. What resonated with you? You're welcome. Yeah, it really hit home. Would love to discuss X, Y, Z. So whatever it is, you need to start authentic, real conversations. Now, one thing I don't want you to do is just start doing like an SMS blast, start using these automations with generic templates, using like bots and just like everybody who comes in, they're getting some sort of messages, like just don't do that because in today's age, everybody likes the idea of having everything automated. But you have to understand from the receiving end, people like authenticity and people like that personal touch. Like, yeah, that message is really for me. Think about it. Let's say you really like dogs, for example, and I come onto your profile like, which message are you most likely to respond to? Like, message number one is, hey, how's it going, John? Appreciate the follow. Are you looking for XYZ? We do XYZ. Like, chances are you're not going to respond to that message, but a message you might have a higher likelihood chance of responding to is, hey, John, really like your poodles. On your page. I have a small 2-hour one myself. Appreciate the follow, man. Just curious what brought you to this page. So if somebody reads that message, they know that you took your time, actually went to their profile, see what they're about, engage with some of the posts maybe, and then went on a message. Like, you are going to get— now, this is not, of course, 100%. Nothing's 100% in this world. But the chances of you getting a response becomes immediately higher. And if you stack this multiple times amongst like hundreds of conversations, you're going to start a lot of conversations. And then from there, you can already make kind of like a decision on how many deals you can close if you have more conversations, because the more conversations you have, the more pitches you make, the more likely you are to make deals. Now, of course, this depends on which industry you're on as well, but this is pretty much the general formula. Now, of course, what you can also do to supercharge this method, and this is something I 100% recommend you to do as well, if you can, of course, this is where the investment part comes into play, which is spending maybe like $10 to $20 a day on Instagram profile visit ads. So let's say one of the organic videos do extremely well, and by your extremely well could be completely different because your extremely well could be like 1,000 videos. That's like the outlier. So take that outlier and just immediately start putting some more money into it because Instagram's already telling you like, hey, yeah, this video is something we like because more people around you like it. Then just start putting some money into it. And then as soon as you do that, you're going to get, of course, a lot more new followers, a lot more new likes, and a lot more new comments. New followers, I would just immediately, immediately start engaging conversations right off the bat. Like, hey, name, thanks for the follow, for my ad about X. You can't even— you don't even have to add. You can just say like, hey Jonathan, appreciate the follow. Just looked into your profile. Would love to of course talk to you about XYZ. Is this something you're looking into? And now they could just say like, yeah, yes, I am. Would love to hear more. But you just need to start conversations is my main point. That is pretty much kind of like what we need to follow over here. And doing this is going to supercharge this. So of course, $10 a day is $300 a month. $300, if you just multiply by 3, that's $900 for this entire strategy. If you want to do $20 a day, that's pretty much $1,800 for the entire strategy. If you're watching this in the US, $1,800 is nothing. You can put that into a credit card or something. You can easily do that because you need to look into the upside. If you're only looking into the money form of what you're going to be spending and what the amount is, you're more likely to not double that investment or triple the investment ever. You always need to have some risk or some sort of play money that you can pretty much put into this and initiate a system that is going to be eventually a lot more profitable for you in the future. Because if you're not going to do that, then things become a lot more slower and a lot more difficult. So this strategy basically is supercharged. Purchase this. Now theoretically, like I said, again, depending on the business, do you need this? Perhaps not. Maybe your content just does so well by itself, um, you don't even need to spend some money on the ads. But would this work pretty much right off the bat as kind of like a canned approach for everybody? 100%. Like, if you do it correctly and if you follow a strategy, this would like absolutely work. So that is pretty much day 22 to day 30. And as you can see, like within day 30, we're already creating content. We're already like creating content the right way. As a matter of fact, we already know like content strategy pillars to follow. Our profiles are optimized. We're having conversations, we're spending money on ads. Things are moving in the right way now. Now you have momentum on your side and you need to keep building on that. Do not stop posting. Do not stop having conversations. Spend money on ads if possible. You keep the ball rolling as far as you can and as much as you can, which is going to be extremely important. So momentum is something people fall on their face a lot of the time and all the time. So it's very important that you keep the ball rolling because some people will just try something out for a month, it doesn't work, and then they try something else for a month, it doesn't work. Then they And they just keep rinse and repeating the entire process. And then when it comes, I don't know, like year to date, they look into their financials. They're like, yeah, I spent so much on marketing, but nothing happens. Nothing's moving the needle. But the truth of the matter is every single advertising platform moves the needles. You haven't necessarily been trying it long enough or just doing it right enough. Because Instagram and Facebook, I'm like, I'm telling you right now, it's a billion-dollar industry, billions of users, not even a billion-dollar industry, like a trillion-dollar industry. Millions of users, billions of users use this every single day. And if you're on the mindset of like, yeah, my customers don't use this. Like, you are incorrect. Like, your customers 100% use this. If you use it, I'm pretty sure your customers use it. If they don't use Facebook, they use Instagram. They don't use Instagram, they use Facebook. They use TikTok. They use some sort of social channel which you need to pretty much implement this on right off the bat, which is going to be extremely important. Perfect. So that is pretty much the premise of day 31 to 75. Keep scaling and keep growing. If for any reason content is not growing as fast, Because of unpredicted reason, maybe you serve a very niche audience or niche market, activate profile visit ads. Another thing I forgot to mention about profile visit ads is it lets you target the exact people you want in a specific zip code and a location. So let's say if you're a lawyer or if you're a brick and mortar business who can only serve a specific market, going organic is fine because of course you can mention that location multiple times, mention it in the caption. And of course the algorithms are going to automatically identify that and pair you with the right audience. For profile visit ads, of course, the ads algorithm are like more smart, so they can immediately show it to your viewers feed immediately. So you might start getting targeted followers right off the bat. And again, just to kind of like reiterate on what I said earlier, spending money to acquire a customer who may pay double is always a good bet. Even if they don't, you will always have more conversations, more data, and be one step closer to the goal of acquiring that customer. So you need to be— this is kind of like the mindset you need to follow if you want, of course, Instagram to work. It doesn't matter if you're like a 6-figure business watching this, 7-figure business watching this, beginner watching this, taking this approach and giving it 90 days, giving it enough time, trying out enough strategies, having more conversations is always going to work better for you. So yeah, so this is pretty much what we have to do within the first 75 days. I have a couple of tips over here as well, which you can use. So you can use stories for nurturing, reels for reach, carousels for saves and shares, but you can ideally stick to reels if needed. Not ideally, this is just an option. Option. So stories are a great way to kind of like see who's actively watching your stories on a consistent basis. So let's say if you're running profile visit ads, if you're doing organic stuff properly, by day 75, let's say you're sitting on like 1,000 followers or like, I don't know, like 800 followers, whatever the number is, you have enough followers at this point to kind of like see consistently on who's viewing your stories. And at this point you can kind of like just sell people during the stories. You can make like special offers. You can talk about case studies, testimonials, consistently add in social proof. So you can start building trust immediately, which is going to be extremely important because Reels will bring in new people. Stories can convert the new people who are already following you because stories are pretty much your most active followers. You can use stories to show behind the scenes, client wins, and direct offers because this is where most people mess up. They use Reels to sell and stories to post random stuff. You need to flip it. So it's going to be extremely important. And we have it over here as well. We're just— it's kind of a visual for you. So if you're posting stories as like, hey, here's my sales page, buy my course now. And then of course on stories, it's like random stuff, my morning coffee, which is something you should still need to be posting because that stuff is just character development content. People still need to see your human side of things. Don't necessarily, you know, be a robot. Like, you still need to post your daily stuff. The entire premise of me mentioning this is you can use stories strategically as well if needed. You can show behind the scenes, client wins, and then after that you can kind of like tell people like, hey, if you want your stuff to look exactly like this, if you want results like this, just tap to learn more about our program or just DM for info. So that's something you can do pretty much right off the bat as well. And then last but not least is just day 76 to 90. This is just a referral group and email capture. By day 75, if you've signed 1 or 2 clients, I suggest doubling down on ads or start ads if you have not already. And at this point, like if you're already crushing it, I would also slowly start moving followers off Instagram into an email list. So this is where you can start introducing stuff like lead magnets where you can like start collecting people's emails, address your ideal customers and start owning your own database. As well. People do this like way later down the line, which I don't think it's kind of like a smart thing to do anyways. You can honestly use like a tool like— and this is not sponsored, of course— you can use a tool like Beehive. And Beehive, you can pretty much watch a tutorial or two to kind of like learn how that works and start creating your newsletter there. And then of course, once you have kind of like a content stuff figured out, because by day 76 or day 75 and 90, you already know what type of content you create, you're already within the rhythm. Because at the end of the day, this is marketing for your business. This is the most important part and also the most effective part to grow your business as well, because the hardest thing to do for any business is to acquire the customer. You might be fantastic at what, what you do, you might serve a very fantastic service, but I see businesses that are consistently struggling, but they always provide a fantastic service. And the reason they're struggling is because they don't necessarily know how to acquire customers the way a lot of successful businesses do, who might be even mediocre than them. So don't necessarily just focus on, you know, the operational stuff, the daily fulfillment stuff. That's all important too. But you have to focus on the marketing in some way, shape, or form. And depending on the state of your business, you might outsource this. You might be able to get some help. For example, we help business owners who are doing anywhere between $30,000 to $40,000 a month just completely make this entire process super simple when it comes to the content side of things. We'll help them script, record, edit, publish. So our service exists just to, you know, for people who already have kind of like the funds allocated towards this, we can just help them them take care of all of this. I have a fantastic team built who pretty much does this. So if you're pretty much kind of like one of those businesses, just hit us up. There's a Calendly link in the description where we can pretty much get on a call, kind of like see what your business is doing and how we can pretty much help you grow using social media. So yeah, days 76 to 90, it's just pretty much kind of like a little bit more strategic and kind of like solidifying the entire process because the first 90 days is just the beginning, guys. Like if you've signed 1 to 2 clients at this point, you're doing amazing and you need to double down on this because if you're able to sign 1, 2 clients, you can easily scale that to signing 20 clients at one point. Like you can do that with social media. You can be more complex with ads. As soon as you get more money into the door, you can do more complex stuff with social media. Like there's a reason why all of these million-dollar businesses, billion-dollar businesses are pouring their heart and soul into social media, pouring 25 hours a week into social media. I think that's what Alex Hormozi does. Like he has a portfolio of like $200 million companies, something like that. I don't know the exact number, but he said he spends over 25 hours a week on social media, like just planning and creating content and just putting out as much content there needs to be. So that should pretty much tell you like how important this stuff is. And if you do it correctly, you're going to make a lot of money because everyone needs to start somewhere. And any of your favorite creators, if you look into them, they started at one point and didn't necessarily just get overnight success. They consistently put in the work. But the, the format I've laid out for If you follow this to the T, the chances of you signing your first 2 clients, if you're new or just, you know, clients from social media, becomes substantially much higher. And I have kind of like my personal case study over here as well. So of course, when I took the screenshot, I was on 12.8. I think right now I'm sitting at 15,000 followers and all of my stuff is very targeted. Like I only show my stuff to people who are within my target market. I'm very careful with that. I try not to show my people to anywhere outside of, let's say, the US, sometimes even Houston, because let's say we also have a local component to us. This. Every single thing is very curated and very kind of like targeted because I used to do that stuff. I used to get the views. I used to get 320,000 views, 191,000 views. But content like this never moved the needle because I was just making tutorials and it was just random stuff. But as soon as I started doing stuff like this, yes, the views are low, but this is the content that converts. This is the type of content people see where they can pretty much kind of like get a lot of value and information about your expertise. So they feel safe reaching out to you, which is going extremely important. Same thing, same thing with TikTok, you know, 118,000 views here, 75,000 views here, 30,000 views here, 40,000 views here. Stuff like this is good, but this is the type of stuff that usually converts into money. Even a video like this, this is kind of like something I made pretty much from scratch. I took my time making this so I can kind of like demonstrate my expertise to the person watching. And of course, like I said, for qualifying businesses, if they don't necessarily have the time to do this, we can pretty much like, you know, offload that for you. But if you're kind of like a business who's still is in the growing phase and you don't necessarily know what to do on social media, this video is going to help you reach to a certain point where you can just hire a service like ours to feature further down the line. Just we take care of this and you just do other stuff which is more profitable for you because there's always a layer to everything. But hopefully this helped. And if it did, I would love to know how just in the comment section down below. And yeah, like I said, if you do have a growing business, I would love to of course have a conversation with you to see how we can help. But yeah, I'll see you in the next video. You guys take care.
