Yo Peter, you should do an experiment where you make an entire new Instagram that has no ties to you. Make it anonymous, build it up, and say after a month report back what worked and what didn’t. I’d love to see that process.
He literally said that in the video about what worked!😂
Sa me
That’s what @petespiratelife is
I recommend Nova_tech01 on ig he helped me recovered my account
FACTS
Man every since I started putting all of my energy towards TH-cam and not instagram..... my instagram has grown! Lol
Hmmm cool.
Whaat
Because YT is a search engine but Instagram isn't... That's what a lot of people don't understand
YESSSSIRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha SAME!
"Focus, don't be distracted by what everyone else is doing" - needed reminding of that!
Yeah definitely 💪🤩
I recommend Nova_tech01 on ig he helped me recovered my account
I recommend nova-tech01 on Instagram for you
Consistent theme, consistent editing, colours, consistent uploads and consistently pushing yourself to just get out and make stuff. That's my 2020 vibe man.
Love it!!!!!
@@PeterMcKinnon Thanks for the reply Pete, hope all is well and you are staying safe on the other side of the rockies over there ✌ man I miss Ontario these days
@@PeterMcKinnon peter please tell me In which video you have used our Favourite quote of yours Pratice your kindness
It's just me? When I open Peter's videos I feel some peace and the whole worlds just fades for a moment!
hmmmm do you also have that with my videos? Just asking for feedback :D
Indeed
SIIIMMMPPP!
@Thiago Martins people feel the same way when watching my car videos
Same her broo😊😊
Press F for those who pay for Instagram courses, when Peter's videos are free
Btw you're a huge inspiration for my TH-cam!!

They are usually useless

I’m *really* digging these more intimate “Talk with Pete” videos, I think you have always been transparent with your followers about how you do things and I think we all really appreciate it
*hits blunt
"its the sphere bro..."
HAHAHA
Ahh Peter got that early 2017 "8 Camera HACKS in 90 SECONDS" hair goin on.
Jeez, I actually remember when that video first went up! Crazy how quickly time flies . . .
That sphere analogy just made my brain create a thousand ideas for new content! Thanks Pete!!
I got a craving for water, watching this.. 😅
This is what makes Peter stand out from the rest. He's never aimed at gaining followers or subscribers but instead remains humble and teaches us to do the same.
For anyone wanting to save time
1. Have a theme/niche whatever you call it.
Basically have an aesthetic feed
2. Post great content that you're *actually passionate about*
3. Post consistently
That's it. Nothing new. He made 3 simple things 12 minutes long for ads so he can earn.
Thank you so much!
Well it was a bit more than that really wasn't it?
Whoo thanks for this!!
@@petejones2452
Really? Tell me, what's new in the video that wasn't repeated over and over again since 2015-2019.
🤝 thank you so much
Who else is hyped for Pete to hit 5M!!
Jremy S 🙋🏻♂️
Yep!! And I have no doubt he will get there in no time!!😎😎😎
Hell yeah!
Yea. He got his first 1 million from Casey, then he was more relevant on youtube and now he goes up on it's own. I subbed waaaay before he had 1 million and that happened because of Casey.
So the point is that he had subs before that, but he wouldn't be here "if".
Like the son of an actor :) A normal guy against the son. And the son would talk about how to get there. I mean.. Come on..
@@moo8698 that's really funny. I subscribed to him because of one of his first videos (I think it was his second or third vlog and of course because of the photography related content) and then I saw him with Casey and other youtubers and I was like "wait what? How cool is this dude? " and since that I'm addicted to his videos.
Meeting PM would be a dream come true.. He is a LEGEND ❤❤
This is a really really great video! All of your videos from how to Vlog, to camera reviews, creative advice - there is no bs, no formula - it is so refreshing & it just feels like a conversation with a friend.
Thanks Peter, I got more from this than any of the others I've watched about how to do well.
You're inspiring an older guy to not only follow my passion but how to share it as well. Great stuff!
I'm 63 and totally new to posting on any of the platforms
You're literally one of the most positive and calming person, I watch.
calm? he seems very energetic to me. are we both here for the same person for totally different reasons! :)
If you want calmness then see if someone is more calm than @sadhguru
@@ritikkamboj3383 I worry, you've been mistaken about what calmness really is!
@@shammaskavi It's good to see people are worried for strangers...world is indeed not that bad😌 Thanks for your kind words brother. Don't worry I know what's calmness very well : )
Calm? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much for everything that you're doing for us and how much you're giving to this community
I love seeing Pete's passion in these videos. When his eyes light up it really inspires me that I can do these things too!

Summary
10:33 This video was surprisingly inspiring. There is no right answer because a lot of photographers are asking the wrong questions.
Timestamps
0:40 There is no secret. There are a lot of different elements involved in growth.
1:00 Start with why? Why you do want to grow your follower count?
1:24 Post what you genuinely love, don't post stuff because it's popular or because they may help you in getting more followers.
1:57 You can make anything interesting by putting your own unique spin on it.
2:57 Why Peter started another account.
4:00 Music Sponsor
5:37 Why/How Peter's second account went from 0 to 170K in a year
6:13 Look at the whole scope of your theme(Your vibe)
6:51 Stay consistent.
7:58 You need to have genuine passion for it.
8:45 There is no single magic ingredient.
8:57 Real talk from Peter. (Perhaps the best part of the video starts here)
My friend and I started a 365-day challenge. Where we post 1 photo a day, we happen to do photography, for a year. It has helped me grow more than I ever expected and not much in followers but to understand what types of photos I like to take and helped grow my photography skills. Not everyone is phenomenal but I have started getting some awesome shots that I enjoy!
So how do you know what to shoot? I wanna up my game and learn more. Wish I had someone to intern with. Or is there like a app for it? I just get so mixed up with everything I don't know what to do :'). What is your instagram btw? I am curious to what you made.
I’m a newer Peter McKinnon follower and I’ve learned so much. I’m so inspired. You’re the coolest dude
I posted a vid with him actually, its my most recent video, the road action one!!!!
You know you're fast when TH-cam sends the notification whilst your already watching🙌🏾 always love the quality man🔥
You’ve taught me more than any college professor
Me too
Fr same
Peter and Matt D'Avella
"and you can make anything interesting" - and that, right there, Peter, is why you're such a successful artist. Thank you for continuing to create, share & inspire millions!
Thank you for reviving my passion and my purpose behind growing my photography on Instagram, Peter. I lost track of what I was aiming for but after watching this video made me rethink what my objectives really were and become better!
Pete's gonna hit 5 million subs any day now! 😱👏
Good timing, because my insta SUCKS.
Tell me about it

What's your acc name? Ill give you a follow

We’re getting to new levels of greatness here! Loved this. 😀
This is a whole new level of social distancing confrontation... consistency, patience and hardwork!
Peter has really helped me with photography and filmmaking, and so many of my friends have come to me asking where to go to begin learning how to make videos like I do, or take photos like I do, and I immediately send them Pete's channel (and to Matti). It's awesome seeing my friends also get into video and learn from Pete.
This is our year guys, let’s get out there and start creating!
Hector Ochoa this really has not been our year tho
Krishpy I agree, but let’s still get out there !!
I think the biggest point is just to enjoy making content. It’s so hard if you have the wrong motivation and it makes your mind go fully in the wrong direction in generall.
You have helped me so much. Im a graphic designer and now I want to do what you do. God Bless You Peter.
i have been working on my business as a filmmaker/photographer for 5 years, i am still doing that, still learning having fun still going hard for it.
because i know one day it will work!!
still renting cameras to work, to take my own personal photos and all but it does not matter i am happy! with what i am doing !! and peter i really appreciate that you take from your time to spread the knowledge !!
Peter has taught me so many things and with the help of that I have grown my presence in every social media platforms 😄
Thank you Peter❤️
Soon we will do vlog together 🙌
Hard to focus while that beautiful ceramic Rolex is just waving about!! Good taste in keeping track of time!
I really appreciate how effectively you share your ideas and make them approachable. You’re motivating.
Peter, what I love from the first moment that I saw a video from you is, YOUR INSPIRATION to be creative! The process of overthinking the things we do, and what you generate in our brains is awesome! Long sentence, I hope I get it right. Thanks Peter :)
This man spitting facts! Positive vibes.
No wonder you are one of the top youtubers there's value in your content
Keep it up
As someone who just started their art related instagram and youtube channel this couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks Pete!
Mónica A. Lefebre consistency is key to everything 👌🏻
Best of luck!
@@Shalaco thank you!
@@krishnaprasath43 thanks 😊
Such a good video on focusing on the big picture for the account and staying consistent with the theme. The new account you’ve created, Peter does exactly that.
Alright, let's find Peter's second TH-cam 😂
Pete: “How do you make glass blowing interesting?”
Answer: Bongs!
lol 😂
Fair enough 🤣😂
😂
Good to hear from old Pete after a long time. Someone I connected to a few years ago.. who wasn't doing things over the top, who wasn't spending all the money, who was just INSPIRING me!
Consistency is SO important. You are what you repeatedly do!
Actually discovering my niche at the moment, this was a very let's say a relevant thing for me... Which is so lit! 🔥🔥🔥

“That’s the title you want to click on”, love this.
Your passion comes through your photos and videos for sure, and that is why I watch. I started watching for the content. I kept watching for the passion. There is so much negativity in the world, your channel is often times a breath of fresh air.
These are some amazing words Peter! I can absolutely agree with you. If you put in your passion and show it in your work on Instagram, people will also feel it and the numbers are gaining automatically as long as you enjoy the journey, these are great 12 minutes!
It's almost like he twisted something in my brain and it all clicked.
PM, talks about a sphere
His hands: lets make a heart
The “circle” is.. possibly the most important tip ive heard, this isnt only applicable to instagram, this consistency in branding is psychological, being consistent, high quality, and focusing on making your style and content recognizable is absolutely vital to your success on any platform.
Great video as always Pete. I just started writing good/positive things about my pictures and that has given me a much needed confidence boost and got me pumped to go and shoot again! Thanks for being an absolute legend that you are!

How many times can a dude say "sphere" 😂😉
Pete, almost 5 million subs. That is absolutely amazing, keep up the great content. We love you
Great video Pete!
When you love what you do the passion is the success,
Keep up the good work.
I protecc, I attacc, but most importantly, I clicc fast!
This old...(tho i liked it :P)
Occ cuhz
Great message. Get reset for me. ❤️
🙌🙌
You are just great man. Haven‘t missed a video since day one. Never will. Thank you so much Pete!
Been doing TH-cam for like 2 years now, I’ve watched so many of your videos to get better cinematic content! Finally hit that 1k and I can’t wait to grow 🙌🏼
Don’t use “2020” in titles.Its scary!
Right? 🥺
wow.. i am coming here after like 2 months... and this man has transformed from a 20 yr old goofy photographer to a 40 yr old modelling agency CEO... love this grey look tho :)
LOL
All of the instagram talk was great, Ive been feeling super down on my IG after the growth drastically slowed down in the last two months. Analyzing the data too much on top of all of the other hard to swallow things going on in the world has made for headache of a few months. Thanks for the honesty Pete.
Awesome video Peter!!!! Thanks so much for what you've done!! You always inspire me so much!
Anyone else drop everything just to watch peters video? 🤣
Next video: How to invest time into your passion
I think i listened to this video on my way home like 3-4 times on the loop. Thanks Peter!
Hands down best channel/influencer for photography and cinematography interested people. Love your enthusiasm and the way you share everything to help people do what they love
I was just thinking of how to actually grow my IG. I attracted this video! 😍
Viaje ni Bree u attracted it?
@@herbalgiles9468 what you think, you attract
Me too! Weird...
When he makes fun of the Instagram Gurus "5 tips to get your Instagram from 0 to 1000 followers in X months" HAHAHHAHA
Without a cap you look a lot better Peter. I always thought you had no hair left 😁
Thank you for your honesty. Advice from other TH-camrs are more like clickbaits. Believing in yourself and doing what you like is better than just engaging with subscribers and likes. Honesty and sincerity are the best policy.💡
This is what I need right now. Thanks Pete! For that motivation! Be happy on what you do!!
Idk bout this vid man... it feels like you didnt say anything you haven’t said before. Maybe that’s just me but I prefer quality > quantity. Anyway I’ll be here for the next vid again cuz i do really enjoy your vids ✌🏻
Yeah I agree, I didn't learn anything here. I wish he would've touched on the realities of the algorithm too. It's very difficult to find anyone who has grown purely off IG in the last year. It's usually people with a good sized TH-cam/Tiktok audience growing on IG
@@dna8269 If you have already heard this before either take it as a reminder and move forward to taking his advice. Or you have been here too long without acting on the appropriate things. It also sounds like you are still focused on growing your followers and not your passion. Les brown is a good guy to watch. He goes into explaining once he showed up and 10 people were there. and he didn't give his all because he was expecting millions of people and he lost the respect of those people because of entitlement. too many people are looking for the millions when they have 1 or 2 people interested. also read an article called 1000 true followers.
For me personally I am still learning every day. it takes time. I have watched my account sit at 350 people. im grinding grinding grinding and learning every day. Finally i get better and my account went to 425 people. and i have been sitting there for a couple months again but my main focus has always been no matter what, i'm going to do my best so that the few people i work with get my best at that moment. Who knows, not everyone is going to make 1 million followers.
Another point he made here, I am not sure what you are trying to do, but have you tried marketing yourself to other businesses? have you tried producing free work to see if companies or small stores like it? if you are doing all of that. then listen to Gary V's advice and you might have to accept that you might not be good enough yet. So keep working. It ain't coming easy.
hey, where is my favorite ''pwhats every body''😂
That’s some things we already but don’t accept or forget it often on the way... and then someone like pete comes along and remind us not to be desperate and keep going with passion..
A lot of value! Thank you! I always appreciate and value your perspective. I’ve been trying to find the best route for my Instagram account. But I resonate with that message - don’t over think it, try things out, do what you love, and learn in the process.
*Googles: "How do I invest in my passion?"... 😏
Jokes aside, that's really the important question here.
So, we all just gonna act like that denim jacket isn't drippin?!
it is for sure
Always delivering the goods!! Thanks for this Pete 😀
somehow his passionate speech touched my heart! im teary eyed..!
there's a magic thing called being a girl ( considered socially attractive) and marketing your body. Guaranteed 100k in a year.
Lol no
TRUEST WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN.
I feel like my issue is I’m all over the place, I do street photography for a month and then landscape and then portraits lol so I’m just all over the place lmfao
Every time i hear Pete's talks i want to go out in the world alone and just with my camera. Its always so inspiring
THIS IS SOO HELPFULLLLL.. Not really interested in growing my anything, but it's inspiring and I do definetly agree that having focus is key, not just in this, but anything. Been reminded of that again and again, and again till it finally stick.
This looks suspiciously like downscaled 8k footage with a slight R5 crop 😉
😂
So it looks like Panasonic 1080p? 😋
Joe Marano 😂😂
Nah! That thing is too busy cooling down
Spence Reyes 😂 damn that was good
I love Pete, I love his videos, and a lot of them help a TON, but who else knew straight up "petespiratelife" and "fly the flag" was his the whole time lol
It's where Pete gets salty.
i wish you had the whole world following you, you inspire us SO much Peter. I agree with every word you say
I love the way you inspire us to focus on the BASICS: that is the content itself.. and not the numbers! ♥
I am in love with your advice ♥
Beeeeaaauuuuutttiful Daytona LN!!!!!! Just Picked up a 2019 Explorer II Polar and a 1989 Mint Submariner. That Daytona is my GRAIL. I'm on so many waiting lists right now hahaha

I was eyeing the Daytona as well!
spotted this too! fantastic watch
4.9 million followers, anyone else wondering what he’s going to do for 5 million subs?
Shortfilm about gratitude
Thank you peter! This is just what I needed
Love your videos man, they are always so sincere and informative keep up the great work
Im stuck between the "consistency" and the random. I'd like to think my Instagram is decent, but sometimes I just really wanna post a pic that doest really fit in with the others.... is there some middle ground? Suggestions? @nathanielbayona
I seriously feel that! So I have two accounts, one is for mainly pictures with me and friends and on the occasion some side photo and video work, the other account is my business one where I have primarily shifted it to only my portrait work and any other videos I am making. I did recently share a flat lay on it though as that is something I find super cool and want to use in my product shooting. But I'm still all over the place. Portraits obviously change all the time but I know when I normally like to shoot them that warm feeling to them. Once fall hits it'll shift to cozier with warm and probably a little darker. Then winter will probably shift again to more cooler and brighter images... But I'm working on it and it's been going good thus far! You can check my accounts out as well ... messy_missi and missimanginovideography
Yup, Its tough sometimes when you're following a theme but you have that one random photo thats so cool you gotta share it
@@fulldronevideo8618 I feel like it's maybe cool to set that photo on your story and make a highlight for it, or set it on one of your highlight.. Untill your feed gradually changes enough to where that picture fits.. But it's definitely not easy because when you try to stick to one theme or color scheme you actually block your creativity as to what you want to shoot or post...
@@Cinedon Great point, I've seen this happen actually with my feed sort of subconsciously. I start to notice the colors changing and eventually a picture that I've been holding onto for a while just fits.
You never said"Pwhats up everybody"
Hey Pete, love this video... you’re absolutely right though. So many people want everything ‘now’. Everything good takes time and effort. I love how ‘real’ your answer to this topic is among all the other videos there are out there about algorithms and stuff.
Keep up the awesome content man. Everything I’ve pretty much learnt so far about Ps and Lr and Pr has been from you.
Thank you. :)
I have always learned something from Peter McKinnon's videos, but the main reason I will always check them out is because of his great enthusiasm, positive attitude and his unique way with words. I can count on his videos to improve my attitude du jour.
