From my experience, consistency is the key! Also, I like to give my new accounts a small boost in terms of followers and likes. It's a psychology trick, others will drop a follow if they see there are a lot of followers already. The numbers give them some kind of trust.
Shook about: 1) info throughout the whole video, 2) the way Chris interacts with audience!!, 3) the way Chris keeps so grounded to earth - shared very personal experience, gives away true value, 4) excellent responds to the questions. Here is so many things to learn just from that one video! Thank you so much for sharing this here.
Seriously! I'm here to learn and absorb everything I can so I can continue growing my TH-cam channel as well as IG. Check me out if you guys are interested! 🤟🏼
When I graduated from graphic design school, the only thing I learned was confidence. I regretted going for a long time and wished I went for entrepreneurship. Finding this channel is the best balance of the two and makes me feel so relieved. Wow, subbed.
This is by far the most useful content I've come across. Every one else makes you pay while beating around the bush. But you go right to the point and your energy is great.
I wonder if this strategy would work with a virtually unknown individual, product, service or company? Chris, your not the average person, your profile is enormous! It would be interesting to put this strategy to the test in a stealth case study that isn't attached to The Futur or Chris Do? And for the record, I'm a MASSIVE FAN of Chris Do, Matthew Encina, Ben Burns and The Futur.
This is literally the best advice I have seen for IG engagement tactics & overall advice as a business owner utilizing social media for marketing as a creator instead of "seller". I stopped in the middle of making my jewelry to focus on this video taking full on notes. THANK YOU CHRIS!
My wife and I started a new channel together and it’s so fun! But more important than how many subscribers is enjoying the process of making the videos with her. Let’s all remember why we started a channel in the first place and stay true to that!
I have never been a fan of this sort of "marketing / self-promotion" videos, but i'm just discovering you (and your team!) and I love it. A lot of self-promotion videos talk in very abstract ways, i'm a big fan of the very realistic approach of your video. Thanks! I'm gonna watch some more videos you made :)
Believe me. I'll never watch a video if it's titled as 'How to get followers,' something like that. But , when I get the same video from FUTUR , I'll watch. Only coz of you Chris!
There are no words to describe how thankful I am for all the information you provided me with! My friend was telling me the other day “Deb, you don’t share your story, people want to knows” plus now I know what to do with the carousel. Thank you again 🙏✨👏✨👏✨
Right from STARTING till the END - every point that he shared is damm informative. It is super useful. The way he started about informing what exactly social media is? & what one should know about it - it has literally changed my perspective towards Instagram. Now i think i know much about Instagram, its algorithm etc. The 1st few minutes of the video is very IMPORTANT. MUST WATCH !!!
I'm usually pretty skeptical about these types of videos, but I came across this and followed a few of the tips (carousel, engaging story posts, higher photo quality etc), and have gone from 2.3k to now 12k since mid December. Before that, it took me 6 months to reach 2k. The title isn't exactly realistic but these tips genuinely work for faster growth, I gained 500 followers yesterday, and the day before but it honestly kind of fluctuates (some days I only gain 80 or so). Carousel posts perform so much better at the moment, cannot recommend enough.
Update since someone just liked this comment, I now run a successful account with 57k followers mostly thanks to this video. The engagement isn't great, and I average about 3,000 likes and 70 comments per post, although every now and then a post will get noticed (my best had about 200,000 reach and 15,000 likes). All of this has happened over the span of 4/5 months and consistent posting.
The way this guy speaks so smoothly in front of an live audience and combines it with the camara in a way, that I feel spoken to also, is amazing! Thanks man, for the valuable information and the lovely way you gave it. :)
@Dries Vaesen linkedin is sending out emails to candidates who they would be prime for buying ads on LinkedIn. So it tells me that they are moving quickly towards control organic reach more and more very soon if not already.
I really like your persona. You have so much of knowledge and talent, yet you always remain grounded and humble with the tone of your voice and body language no matter how arrogant or dumb the person on the other side is. Stick to it as long as you can.
This video streamed 1 year ago and here I am watching this video in 2021. When he said that this video might be taken down in 48 hours, I laugh 😂 but really thankful. I am from Indonesia by the way. Accidentally saw your shorts while I was watching some cats videos. Thank you so much Chris and The Futur team. You guys have been doing really great job!
I have been thinking about buying engagement for my posts. I use relevant hashtags, but my posts never appears in the featured posts.. maybe more engagement will help? 🤔 Someone knows a safe place to buy?
I would recommend looking at a website called SocialPlus, they are very professional and has good support. Just Google "socialplus" and you will find them. Good luck!
This information was solid GOLD...I am about to start an IG account, so zero followers...I will definitely try these tips and strategies. 😍😍😍😍 thank you for sharing!
Thank you, I have started, not 1, but 7 IG pages😂😊🤦♀️ ! All focusing on different niches or topics/ categories of my life ,e.g. my business page is @seedlingwizard and my fitness page is @fitgurlnads. Both of these pages are slowly, but steadily growing. IG is like a full time job!😊 I struggle to post every day, on my business page, but I will get there. My content is recorded in my log book, for easy reference and to help me stay on track. I know I will succeed, everything takes time. Rome wasn't built in a day, so why should anyone think an IG page will, organically, that is 🤣😂😂🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰🤔!
Thank you for spelling this out so well! I am new to the creating space and love this crash course because you spell out some of the building blocks underneath that I have been trying to figure out.
This is highly engaging. Enjoyed watching the whole way through. Good job! Thanks for sharing this knowledge, it will really help to give direction so I'm not stabbing around in the dark. Bless!
So impactful. Thank you for this man. You have so many little things that I don't think about as a creator but that I SHOULD be thinking about all the time aha.
@@avakinzerochill I know. But the video was implying they don't have money. Which is wrong. And you'd be surprised, I posted a few business videos, gained 400 followers and had about 4-5 pretty successful entrepreneurs find me on the platform and reach out via IG.
I was searching and found you... I really appreciate you sharing such incredible content for FREE!!! You deserve everything wonderful that comes your way! Keep up the incredible work ... Peace
I love what I do, I never said that I don’t have fun. What I simply was saying is that it’s a struggle sometimes when trying to grow your brand especially when you want it so bad.
@@CheMula Ok. Yeah, just be careful. You can "burn out". Ill share a few tips and tricks: -Always check the availability of your hashtags. For Example, "love" is banned and it will kill the rest of the hashtags which results your posts being unsearchable. -Explore hashtags. For Example, #Audi will have a bar on top with other hashtags related to it, you want to use a little bit of those hashes too. Some hashtags won't show the related hashtags because they are too vague Ex. #Likeforfollow. Like doesn't show up for the hashtag search, it's advised that you don't use it. So research hashes. -Stalking peoples pages is considered engagement. If you keep stalking them, you'll be on top of their "who viewed their stories" list. FOR REALS. The first few moments the list will be who saw it first, then it will be who engages with you the most.
From my experience, consistency is the key! Also, I like to give my new accounts a small boost in terms of followers and likes. It's a psychology trick, others will drop a follow if they see there are a lot of followers already. The numbers give them some kind of trust.
Please don’t delete this video! I find it extremely valuable to what I’m currently working on. Thank you :)
What are you working on?
I'm amazed I'm watching this for free. Everyone else is packaging less information than this for $99 courses. Thankyou so much!

Same! I majored in visual communication but now realize I should have went for Business 😂 Anyway i get to use what i learned i guess
Wow, like 15 people live, 200 through YT, and NOW more than 1,000,000.
That's a life lesson right there.

This guy is the real deal, just started watching his videos recently. The main thing I take away is his passion and enthusiasm, absolutely love it!
It’s currently 1am and I was just going to watch a few minutes, then save the watch later. I ended up watching the whole lesson!
