Steal the Instagram Strategy That Gained Me 100K Followers

In partnership with

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

Social media growth is RARELY an accident, and Instagram is no different.

I now have close to 116,000 followers on there now and most of my explosive growth only came after I started getting EXTREMELY intentional with my strategy and how I was showing up on the platform - day in, day out.

My system/strategy isn't all that complicated. I like to keep things SIMPLE.

But after growing to well over 100K followers and leveraging Instagram to become a full-time creator, I've learned a thing or two about a thing or two when it comes to audience growth.

Here in this video, I lay out my complete content strategy for Instagram, including some key metrics you can track, best practices for increasing engagement, post and story views, among other things.

It's all here, I hold NOTHING back, and if you follow the advice laid out in the video you're going to start making rapid progress building an audience of devoted followers and supporters on Instagram.

It’s actually mind-blowing how much that growing my following on IG has changed my life. Just a few hours ago, I was sitting on my couch reading a book and thinking:

Your life can change SO FAST, and for me, Instagram has been a major part of that shift.

And again, this free video contains virtually my entire strategy.

Pretty solid day of work! And got plenty of reading done too. I’m really stepping up my reading this month after “only” reading 6 books last month. I know 6 books is a lot, but NOT when it’s your full-time job, so this month is all about refining my systems even more to help me get more reading done while keeping the business profits rolling.

Great month so far though, and I’m NOT slowing down!

But hey, it’s 4:19AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
