In this post, I’m gonna show you how you can grow your Instagram at lightning speed with one very simple to use strategy and tool to help you along the way. Now, if you wanna have success on Instagram or any social network for that matter, you are going to need an effective content marketing plan. Which is why I have a free worksheet that you can grab down right here! It’s gonna guide you through this process. How do I grow? I am always trying to figure out the best way to help my customers, and of course, you guys who are out there on the YouTubes. One of the things I’m always trying to figure out & people always ask me is, how do I grow on Instagram? What is the right strategy and how am I gonna make this work? And of course, how do I do it quickly without losing all of my time? Now as busy business owners, I respect your time really which is why I have the perfect solution for you and all of your Instagram growth needs. I would like to introduce you to a Dollar Eighty. A Dollar Eighty A Dollar Eighty is a Chrome extension that you add onto your browser that syncs up with your Instagram and allows for you to comment on other Instagram posts. A Dollar Eighty has come from the simple math that you should be giving your 2 cents on a minimum of 9 posts with 10 hashtags every single day. And that ultimately adds up to a $1.80. With this tool, it definitely streamlines the process. Before you had to go onto your phone, it was really manual, it was really slow because you were using your thumbs and it’s a whole thing. But with this Chrome extension, you’re able to easily add in the hashtags that are the most relevant to you, so that you’re able to go in and comment on the posts that makes sense to you and those 10 hashtags, and you’re gonna be able to grow your engagement. Does it really work…? Now, I am always super skeptical when it comes to new tools and new methods and ways of doing things. But this has been a strategy that has been around for a few years and Gary Vee swears by it and a lot of other Instagram professionals and educators out there swear by it as well. Before I present anything to you, I always check it myself and I was completely blown away by the results. I personally find it kind of slow and steady wins the race when it comes to Instagram but by adding in this strategy, I was able to increase my follower count by 4.5% in a matter of 30 days. While that might not sound like a lot to you, it was a lot to me because usually I’m in the like 1%, if I’m lucky range for monthly growth. Additionally, my impressions went up 90% and my profile visits went up 125%. What this means is that my profile was seen interacted with and engaged with more over the course of the 30 days I was using the Dollar Eighty versus what we were doing before. We’re always trying to drive traffic to our websites, where you can collect the data and people can learn more about our products and services. I had an increase of 180% on my website clicks from my profile. Overall thoughts If you have been on this channel before, you know that content creation is a big part of what I’m encouraging you to do. And I tend to show up every single day on Instagram with a new post. While I’m always trying different styles of posts and different ways to present things to you, studying the analytics and finding the right time, I still found that my content engagement increased a lot with the help of Dollar Eighty. Overall, it went up 13.5% and very specifically to stories, it went up 130%. All right, now that you are sold on this tool and you wanna check it out, let’s head over to the computer where I’m gonna to show you how to get started.

Create Gary Vee Style Videos For Social Media // What To Do and HOW to Do It!
There is no denying that Gary Vee is prolifically using social media to grow his brand. Sometimes you go on all these different social networks like Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and LinkedIn. And he is just there creating totally unique content for each platform. And it can be really overwhelming for those of us that are trying to figure out just how to create one video that does one thing. Stay tuned to find out ’cause in this video we’re gonna break it down for you. So it’s gonna be super easy for you to do. Create Like Gary Vee Gary Vee’s strategy is so prolific and he is constantly creating new content for all of us to consume. So how are you, a normal business owner, supposed to really create content as much as Gary in the way that he does? Now I was fortunate enough to get to meet Gary Vee back in 2013. When I was like some odd weeks pregnant and I got his new book “Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook.” And it really kind of transformed how I was doing with social media and how I looked at things. I really entered into a world of time to solve people’s problems. And that’s exactly what I preach here on this channel like Gary does all the time. Show up for people and solve their problems. Well, I’m about to solve a really big problem for you. Which is how can you easily create videos as frequently as Gary? Work Smarter Not Harder And with that, we’re going to also include today’s sponsor for this post, Kapwing, which is my go-to website and resource for creating all of my social videos for my business and also for my clients. Kapwing is fantastic for resizing videos, adding closed captions, doing progress bars. Just making your videos look really awesome for social media. Super, super easy. So in this post, we’re gonna dissect three things that Gary Vee is doing so that you can apply this strategy to your business. One, we’re gonna go over how he creates his content. What you can learn from it and how you can do it with a little help from Kapwing. How Gary Creates One of the things that’s incredibly unique about Gary is that he is always recording video. He actually has people that follow him around on a constant basis filming him when we’re not in COVID. And even through COVID, he has taken to doing his “Tea With GaryVee” where he is live streaming on a regular basis. To create content to talk to people who are part of his fan base he can help. But this can be really hard for you. Especially because like I said, you’re probably a normal person who is busy working in their business. No one is expecting you to be Gary Vee. It would be really awesome if you have someone that can film you. Or maybe if you have a special occasion or an event that you’re doing. You could probably have someone come in and film for you. But for the most part, it’s going to probably be a little bit harder for you to create as much content as Gary does. So how can you do this? Record Everything Well, the first thing I’m going to advise you to do is do consider recording every meeting that you have. That’s right. Get on to Zoom, do a live stream, and talk to your potential customers and your current customers. You never know when that little stroke, that line, that little 30 seconds to a minute piece of genius is gonna come out of your mouth. So why not be ready when it does? Because I can’t tell you how many times I’m having a conversation with somebody I’m like, “Aw man, that was really good, I wish I had recorded that.” We live in a world where live streaming and Zoom are just kind of the new normal. So no one is going anything to bat an eye at you recording or using this footage over again for your social media content. So really take that cue of Gary recording everything that he’s doing and find a way to do that for yourself as well. What do people keep asking you? My second tip for you when you’re trying to record a video is really sit down and look at what are the things that people keep asking you questions about? Are you getting these emails, maybe a text message? Or are you fortunate enough to be getting these questions on social media or on your YouTube videos? Take these questions, sit down with your camera just like I’m doing with you right here. And just have a conversation with the camera or aka Bob to solve his problem. By solving other people’s problems it’s going to come across as so genuine and so real. And this is a no SEO moment. The reason this is a no SEO moment is that it’s not about getting found in search and doing all the stuff. It’s about connecting with people by solving their actual problems. These sort of videos are going to allow you to really connect with people and have that emotional bond that you are hoping to get. That comes from answering questions from your customers. Not everything is about being found in search. Sometimes it’s about helping people with their actual problems right then and there. And I might add, this is something that Gary does all of the time. So if we’re here to be like Gary, this is how you do it. Get the Look Now let’s dissect the physical look of a Gary Vee video and why it is successful. The video I reference has three main parts. We have our text and title at the bottom. We have the actual video in the middle. And at the bottom, we have
