Instagram, believe it or not, changed my life. I started growing my account. I would literally stay up till 3 in the morning following 400 people. I would wait for them to follow me back and then I'd unfollow them. Dude, it would work. Like, no joke, I would do it for like 20 hours every single day. I had no idea why I was doing it, but I told myself, if I can get to 5,000, 10,000, something good's gonna happen. Because back then, all my quote-unquote mentors, I'm like, what do they have in common outside of the cars and the luxury? They all have an Instagram following. So it must be good to have an Instagram following. So that's how I started. People started reaching out to me. They started asking me, Alex, how did you grow your account? How can I do the same? It took me like an hour to make a damn PowerPoint presentation, sent it to this girl, and she ended up paying me 3 months in advance. She referred me clients. All of a sudden I have 100 clients. All of a sudden I have 1,000 clients. And then within a few short years, I went from the $3,000, $4,000 I was making to $3,000,000, $4,000,000 a month through my Instagram account, all online.
