In this brief video, the speaker explains a growth hack for Instagram: adding all of your followers to your Close Friends list so that your stories appear at the top of their feeds. The claim is that this positioning can dramatically increase story views, with an anecdotal example of someone achieving around 100 million views. The speaker frames the tactic as an experiment for marketers seeking to boost engagement.
Talking about getting more views is one thing you can do on your Instagram, all your followers, you can make them your close friends. And if they become your close friends, that means you're first in line on the stories, right? This is like a recent hack people are using to grow their follower account. I think someone got 100 million views or something like that. So that's something that we might consider testing or playing around with because, you know, we're marketers and we want to experiment with things.
