How to Actually CRUSH your INSTAGRAM GAME in 2020

[@mFarah42]

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.

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)

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..

[@datcaptain]

@@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.

[@Murrflex]

Bro. I needed to see this. These concepts began clicking with me for KZbin in the past few weeks. I am a Twitch streamer with a Digital Marketing degree and I have an endless passion to learn new ways to create digital content. I’ve never thought to share those photos or edits or those clips that make me gitty. This realization spurred me to create a digital art portfolio to express my work, and merchandising for some of the Twitch emotes and logos I’ve created on my own. I always post teasers at the beginning of the video as attention getter, but I should share those because Those are my favorite parts. I appreciate that you went back to the roots and instead of boasting your legitimate growth on this channel and have become a public figure in the social media platform, you’re telling people to be organic, creative and show us what truly matters to them. If anything, it’ll challenge 99% of the people that watched this to face the fact that they may not even be sure what that is yet. Keep up the dope looking slides. Would LOVE to learn some of those sick transitions with that high quality equipment. Those trapped me in this haha. Question if you do somehow come across this: Is there a boundary that you choose not to post if you love something you created. Like where does your niche end?

[@ThePaololekai]

Thank you for making this video Peter. I think it’s a topic people need to hear in this day and age. When I first got into the social media sphere I started an automotive based account where I told the history and stories behind cars and the people who brought them to life. I specifically decided on this niche because every other car account was just posting “🔥 tag a friend who likes this car” and saw no value in that. I saw immediate growth (1,000 new followers per week) and thought I was onto something. I spent the first year (now I realize it was a foolish endeavor) trying to monetize the page but struggled to make ends meet and burned through my savings. So instead of trying to monetize the page directly I started using it as a resume to get new full-time jobs in an industry I had no experience with and that worked well for me. At the same time my page was starting to loose traction and I was beginning to feel a bit stale on the theme of my page. I wanted to start shooting video but it was such a daunting task, I never did it. So I stopped posting. During that same time I fell into a deep depression. Within a month my girl friend broke up with me, my house was threatened by the biggest fire in California’s history, my grand mother died and I was unable to attend her funeral (she is Italian and lived in Florence, Italy), then a girl I met after my girlfriend and I broke up passed away in a mudslide caused by the fires the month previous. A month after that I was fired from my job and needed to move in with my parents. I eventually got help from a therapist and the support of my family (as well as watching yours and other creators KZbin videos) to help reinvent myself. I decided to tackle the fear of video and started a video series on KZbin that worked with my Instagram account. 7 or 8 videos in and I not only made some of the strongest bonds and friendships with my subjects, I’ve been able to convert these videos into jobs that have paid my bills for the last three months. So I guess my point is, don’t view yourself as a failure if you don’t have a large following. Don’t only view social media as a way to make yourself rich and famous because it can be useful in other ways. use it as a tool to further your goals and aspirations in your career. Use it to network and form relationships with like minded people and as a resume for your work. Or simply as a creative outlet to express yourself. Long rant over lol. Thanks Peter for all the inspiration and passion, the world needs more PMs! 👊🏻

Looking good Pete!! This is so weird that you have made this video!

What happened was something I didn’t even imagined in my worst dream - I have been quite depressed and stressed, I deleted everything related to it and stopped. I stopped because I realised that I did so much energy into something I didn’t enjoy - I realised it only now, but I’m a lot better now, I have had chance to speak to people I haven’t seen in a while and understood a lot about goose who i saw more often. It’s weird that you made this video, because I feel like I just went through all that and here I am, ready and watching this with such a different perspective as a whole! Much love Pete!

[@Maxmilion6004]

@@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.
