Just want to show my appreciation for this channel. I started watching your content a few years ago and then one day built the courage to start my social media entrepreneurship journey and now 2 years later I'm now living my best life and dream job and financially independent. Thanks so much and wish you the best and to everyone else who reads this!
That’s amazing, good for you 🎉
I'm so happy for you and what you have achieved! Keep up the good work!
Wow very happy vanesa there goji.
Can you teach us how to fill and file our taxes now that we are content creators/ freelancers who are able to monetize and make money? According to my research, the process appears to be far more complicated than filing a standard w2 at the end of the year. Can you do a video on how to file taxes and when to for Self-Employment: What Freelancers need to Know the processes and stuff as a content creator/ TH-camr? For example, can you do a breakdown or spreadsheet with us on what gets calculated together or separately (ad views, TH-cam Premium, Super Chat, Super Stickers, Channel Memberships, brand deals, sponsorships, or when a company sends you free stuff or things to try out and gifts)? Dates to file ahead and to pay on time. I've binged and watched a lot of videos on these topics lately but the more I watch the more questions I have. I've been subscribed and watching your videos from the start of your TH-cam career because you're inspiring and your videos are always easy to follow along to. I am at a point where I want to do freelancing but don't want to mess up on taxes so hopefully, you will do a video on this process.
Have you spoken to an accountant?
@@VanessaLau No, I just thought maybe you can make an updated tax video on the business aspect of life as a content creator/TH-camr/freelancer since you've gained so much knowledge on this since your last upload on taxes over 2 years ago using Bench Accounting with Sebastian. An accountant is expensive especially if I'm just starting out so do you have any advice on how to find a good CPA Accountant or CPA Tax Advisor? I'm still trying to figure out the difference between both and which is better to use and spend money on.
THIS! YES!
LOVE THIS! i like to also use CRTL+F and use question words to search my competitors comments quickly, so searching for words like "How, what, why, if" etc and that helps me spot the questions within minutes!
That's an amazing tip, Nadia! Thanks for sharing that!
What a great idea Nadia!
I started trying to grow my reach about a month ago and while I definitely have been growing, the catchy reels were getting the most views so I tried to double down on those and started losing followers because I was just trying to follow a trend and not offer content. So now I’ve backed off with being determined to post some thing every day if it’s not good. And honestly some of those days that I skip posting my followers grow even more…
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's really important to pay attention to what resonates with your audience more and which helps you increase your reach and grow your account.
I’m glad you choose family / relationships as an example because I’m trying to grow my family brand lol 💕
Your video was so well-produced, thank you for putting in the effort!
While I appreciate the information being shared, I am truly annoyed at how much work and tricks and “secrets” are necessary to engage on an app which is supposed to be about fun and socializing. It’s truly mentally exhausting. I just want to be authentic and engage organically w/o the BS Instagram puts ppl through. I want a SM platform that doesn’t require me to watch weekly YT vids to exist on it.
Thanks for watching..

I mean you don't HAVE to do anything especially if you just want to exist on the platform. This is for people trying to grow a business as effectively and as fast as possible.
It is still bs . Too many hurdles to pass
Wheee! More content this week! Thank you for all the value you offer Vanessa. Always learning loads
Thank you!
Loved the video and took some notes as well which I think would help others, so here they are!-
-keep the design clean
-appeal to the wider audience to increase shareability
-set up manychat (dms/comment section) (when you start getting more dms)
-Reel/Post framework to increase shareability-
Hook
Micro-lessons
Key takeaway (punchline)
Clear call-to-action
-monthly review of analytics (what's working? What's not working? Double down on what is working.)
-leverage the collaboration feature
-follow and engage with other similar accounts
-create content that resonates
-check what the viewers of your competitors are saying, like the unanswered question on their posts, and make content around those topics
-ask your audience what they want directly via Instagram stories
-once or twice a year, do a big market research survey to collect information (google forms) (more information about themselves and what they would like to see, what platforms they like to hang out in, what social media accounts they follow, feedback on how they would like to see my account change & improve); gives a lot of insight on your current audience and the gaps in the current content strategy
-your content must answer these 2 questions: i. “Whats in it for me?” ii. “So what?”
It is imperitent to give some value to the audience who pay you with their time. Whats the main take away from the content?
-package your content in a way that is digestible to your audience. Have a good quality
-ask a third party for opinion before posted, someone who’s view you respect and trust
-do lives and speak on stories to deepen the connection with your community- increases loyalty
-increase the variety of your content, dont make just one type of content so as to make sure yu dont eclude certain groups of people
-stay up to date on how the ig algorithm works, some bullet points are
Instagram values recency
Instagram values relationships (increase interactions- like poll stickers or question stickers or even dms, add call-to-actions)
Instagram values intestest (so, make sure you categorize your content properly, so that its easier to push your content and account to the right people. Put the keywords in your caption and write alt text in each post. Have a consistent theme in your content.)
Instagram values videos
Hope this helps
As usual, tons of value Vanessa! thank you very much
💙
You're so welcome, Laura!
So good! Thank you, Vanessa!!!
This video was so well-scripted and organized, thank you for the clarity!
what a great video! Super helpful!!! Thank you for these wonderful tips!!
Glad it was helpful!
This was SO helpful!!! Especially the part where you explain how you'd reframe the cat tree building video.
Glad it was helpful, Val! Thanks for watching the video!
This video was so heartfelt and genuine, thank you for sharing it with us.
Just found your account today. Wanting to startba channel and instagram. Your videos have been super helpful! Thank you!
That's amazing! Excited for you to start an Instagram and TH-cam channel!
I really love your tutorial videos they are mind blowing, keep it up
Thanks for the hard truth. I'm applying this to my TH-cam strategy. Would love a TH-cam dedicated version of this if you feel there are some TH-cam strategies that are different enough from the IG ones you've got here.
I've shared some tips on my recent videos related to TH-cam! You can check that out!
YOU AREE THE BEST!!!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you for watching the video!
I like the lighting change in the video 😉 Great tips as always 😎
Thanks, Jarle!
I really needed to see this video today. Thank you for sharing, Vanessa.
Glad you were able to watch this video, Adrian! You're welcome!
THIS IS SOOOO GOOD AS ALWAYS!! Thank you Vanessa for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and wisdom! Your content is gold and inspires me to provide more value to my clients as well! 😍
True
I was watching this video, came across your comment. Check your youtube and because you made it clear exactly the value you offer in your channel, i suscribe to it! And decided to check your IG, will follow you too and therefore will see your website. Wow vanessa stragedy does works and i love to see how YOU have been able to apply them. Keep up the amazing work!
@@MykeystoJoy Omg!!! Thank you so much!! This comment made my day 🥲🥲🥲
Really interesting to hear another perspective other than using reels!
Thank you, Melissa!
I’ve actually primarily seen my IG growth increase using REELS with content designed to help 20-somethings learn how to LOVE THEIR LIVES no matter what kind of challenges they’re experiencing. 🎥 Looking forward to trying out some additional ideas from this video to continue with that though! Thanks!
That's amazing, Jenn! Excited for you to implement some of the tips from this video! Keep me posted!
I really resonated with your point of adding text to a video or voiceover to bring more value to my audience, thanks for sharing!
Great video good tips there are some I never thought about and will tried them out thanks for the new insite
Glad to help, Ivan! What are some of the things you will try on your account?
@@VanessaLau I like the idea of looking at questions asked on other creators and making videos answering the in a video never thought of that idea👍
So grateful for your content. What suggestion do you have in finding who your competitors are within the network marketing arena?
Got you a subscriber 35 seconds in!
Thank you!
Thanks dear is just the true 🎉❤❤❤
Great advice Vanessa & thanks for the tips :D
You're so welcome!

Thank you Vanessa...Always providing great insight and advice.
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching the video!
These are very helpful and value bombs!
Thank you and glad to know this was helpful!
QUESTION: I am just starting my YT channel and working out my "niche" based on my target audience (which is basically me). Right now I have Instagram and FB accounts for each part of my life. A business account and a personal account. I feel that they should really be the same accounts. How do I morph them? Or do I? Do you still keep personal accounts for friends and family? Or do you just have business accounts now? I've really been struggling to try to figure this out. And, thank you so much for your videos. This is the most YT help I've found from anyone! Amazing content!! : )
in the same boat. great questions here.
I had the same question. What I did was made a Facebook page for my business and made it link to my Instagram. So I still have my personal Facebook. But I made my Instagram more focused for my biz, but since I make all the cards and paper stuff showing my face on Instagram makes sense. I show my space, my supplies etc. Especially in stories and stuff. It seems to be working. And I have less accounts to post to lol
Tons of value here!
Tanks
Thank you so much!
Looking forward to implementing these tips! My favourite was the one about using a variety of features.
Excited for you to implement the tips!
Such great content you share Vanessa, started watching your channel so Two months ago and I have learnt a whole lot
Glad to know my videos were helpful for you!
A Wednesday upload! What a time to be alive! I'm here for it.
Yay! That makes me so happy!
I feel like family and relationship fits more into Life style niche and people do like it
I got great value from this video as per usual
So happy you found this video valuable!
Always love your content :)
Appreciate you watching the video, Monica!
Great value
Thank you so much!
CAN YOU DO ONE FOR MUSIC CREATORS?
I am continuing your video for earning and learning thank you for your great supporting and helping to encourage me to become a great successful man
I'm tired of Instagram tbh
Hello Vanessa, thanks for your videos. Helps a lot.
Question: I posted a reel the last day of the month. After 12am the views go up (I grew 166 views to 3k) but the bonus reels cut the benefits at 166 views when the time for the new month begins.
I could get the bonus for that reel? Even if the post doesn't have the 24 hrs posted?
All of this makes complete sense and was very useful but I'm still struggling with how my content can be of value if its simply entertainment and people how have the same fashion or music tastes as myself :/
Wow great video
can you make a video about how to sell more products on Instagram and get more followers
that would REALLY help me out in my business
thank you😊
You help me a Lot.
So happy I was able to help you through my videos!
One question i still have especially about the polls..?
What if you don’t have an audience yet? Who would respond to the polls?
From Morocco ❤❤I love u so much...
Hello Vanessa - thanks a lot for your tips. I create reels with recipes - and yet I do not have engagement at all. I would not say my reels are the best in the world but when I compare them to some high engagement accounts they are equal or sometimes even better. Or maybe I am biased…What would you recommend?
Thanks for watching..

Engage with the right audience (who are interested in recipe reels). GO to your competitors and engage with their followers. They will learn about your existence on Instagram and will definitely see your reels. The organic process is a bit slow but it will definitely help you gain visibility.
My content is skyrocketing on TikTok but not on Instagram 😅
Good for you!
How do I determine what content goes into stories and what goes into reels?
Im still struggling to identify my clients. Sure I aim at young mothers aged 25-40 because i think they're the ones who'd buy my stuffed dolls but I myself am in my 60s. I am learning from you. Thank you.
It depends! What I recommend is to do market research and just experiment with your content and check your analytics to help you guide which content is performing well and therefore help you decide which strategy will work for you!
If I am a beginner with 500 followers on my personal Instagram should I change my content to match my business or start an entirely new account?
So good.
Guys you need to focus on TikTok and TH-cam, FB and IG not good right now.
Vanessa lau vs modern milli
Whom you will go with...
Both are really good
Great 😊
Great 👍
It might take time oh look like it won't happen, but believe me there is space for everyone, keep pushing.
🙏😊❤️
you are so smart!
Such great points!
Thank you!
The problem is that the same "viral" concepts over and over get repetitive. But today every business wants to go viral, and every low quality phone-filming dude and their mom want to be a business, when they're really just wannabe influencers with no interesting story to tell and no captivating visuals to support it. Instagram has gone up another quality level and we need to adapt or we'll stay behind. It has always been that way and the only thing that's frustrating is how so much low-level user content is clogging up the internet, just to perish within a few days. How morbid. There should be a limit to how long all this stuff is burried online. It's just burning trees, not providing value, not creating happiness. I've stopped theorizing over my target audience and strategies. Epic experiences and beautiful moments aren't a strategy, maybe their documentation can be, sure. But I just want to create. That's how Instagram started anyways. Video making, okay, but meaningless, pointless content just for the purpose of consistency and offering something, no.
Keep it working
how does one add value as a lifestyle vlogger/fashion creator??
Think about who your target audience is and create content around what they need help with.
Hey love!
i do not sell any products or service, I just upload bike content for fun. I think all the tips are applicable either way right?
How to do you get your audience to fill out a survey?
*reels need more engagement u know!*
Very inspiring video thanks a lot 😊
You're so welcome!
Good stuff
Hello Vanessa
If we start creating content after taking a long break how difficult it would be get reach Or its better to strat with a new account
I took a 2 year break and wondering the same… it’s bad 😢
Love your free content sharing strategies but I think the intro hook saying strategy is not the problem the content being good is wrong. Isn't the problem more commonly the strategy? I feel like the rest of your video goes a lot into strategy. I completely agree with the part about taking pictures of yourself and your family not being good content though
Content being not good was just 1 reason of many! I find if you are following all the strategies and it’s still not working, it’s likely the content that’s not landing. Doesn’t matter if you use hashtags, ig reels, etc
@@VanessaLau got it I stepped back and rewatched the video I don't know why I got hung up on that tbh. It's really just semantics. The content being good versus strategy. I appreciate you sharing how to make it good 😊👍
I came here not to learn I just missed your face that bringing peace to see
great video! would the editor please reach out to me?
The gold is in the comments ✨
Can you please tell me how to make TH-cam videos like Rain Fraz TH-cam channel?
IG music issues.... I have 2 different professional accounts on IG. On the newer account it has a ton of great music to use in reels/stories & the older account is only given lame music..... What gives?
I love you
Terimakasih atas masukannya sobat ku,,semoga kita semua slalu sukses,amiin
You're from Indonesia right?

I'm doing memes, so yah...got about 16 follower's.
My audience don't care
But you also talk a lot I always should run the video 1.5 faster and sometimes I can't finish it
Why you are not getting views on Instagram?
Your content is simply not good. It might happen, when you did not spend enough time to understand who is the audience, you are trying to reach.
Utilize IG story features for content ideas and solutions.
Are you saying everyone with a following has good content? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Definitely not haha
Not at all
To be honest, it seems like most of the people who get a lot of growth say they noticed gaining more followers when they started posting more, not that they changed anything about the actual content.
@@gensai93 what about them who have like 50k or more followers with 50 posts/ reels
Hi Vanessa! i asked you a some questions as a message on Instagram - do you think you can answer them? or should I ask them here? or somewhere else? thank you!!!
Good a nice day Vanessa! I from upwork i seen you need a editor if you see my comment please answer me
The situation I'm in is that my content is very successful on TikTok -- like my first video I posted there got 80K views, but the same video crossposted on IG is getting like 100 views. I've tried to create unique but similar content on IG and I'm getting the same result. So I know its not the content because I have proof of success with it. I'm losing my mind.
