I woke up today and this came to my mind. I feel like sharing it right here real quick, and I'm going to try as much as possible to post this everywhere else I can, so everyone gets to see it. The year is fast running out again, and I believe prior to the year, many of us had different plans and goals for the year, one of them probably being a financial breakthrough. Well, I pray, by the grace of the almighty, that we all reach our financial goals this year. The year 2023 was really a life-changing year for me financially.

[@natashawilson4117]

All thanks to God and to my friend from Czech for making this possible. She really changed my life. It is my wish that every human becomes financially stable. That way, the world will be more beautiful and peaceful. In that case, I don't want to be the only beneficiary of the opportunities she has in store, so I'd be willing to share a link to her page where you can contact her as well. So if there's anyone here who is ready and willing to change their financial story the same way I did, you can reply me here and I will send you the link to her page where you can contact her.

On the coffee tip, I would just sell someone else’s coffee with a 50% commission. Whenever you don’t have something to sell yourself just help a good business owner sell their product and you’ll both make money.

[@Ellifmusic]

Yep it’s called affiliate marketing

[@smoakpipe]

No one is making money with 50% commissions for coffee the margins are ass

[@cengizhanermet]

50% commission on a physical product? How would the coffee owner make money LOL

So proud of this young man. He's articulate and well mannered. You couldn't tell me 20 years ago that I would be sounding like an old lady.

[@Inflightmuzik]

Isn't instagram pushing this type of content back to the original creators now? Meaning that if you start this strategy today, possibly you're building followings for the people you repost instead of your own, which I believe is the right way to go about this. I understand reposting, adding value and giving credit for sure. Just want to point out that the new algorithm might have just made this strategy a no go here soon. Anyone else know about this?

[@Jujbffrbnjdef]

What you're saying is true. This will no longer work. You gotta repurpose tht content

[@nadia_annan]

Yeah I was just thinking about this!

[@alwaysforever8294]

What is the new algorithm? I’ve heard about it but still don’t understand

[@kevinprenur]

no what instagram meant is it will limit your reach if you take someone's content and repost it to your page page without adding your own touch .. ( i've tested this)

[@Inflightmuzik]

@@kevinprenur Yeah, you can't just repost.

[@EcomCarl]

Taijuan insights on monetizing Instagram are spot on! 💰 Crafting a compelling bio and curating content that resonates with your audience are key strategies for building a profitable presence on the platform.

I really hate when peopl down play how they started like if it was majic or something "I dont even know where the money was coming from" if you had financial assistance to help get you started its nothing to be ashamed of. Still alot of dope information. 🔥

Sponsorhips end ownership dont... Think Jordan deal..Think George Foreman Grille...Think Mr Beast and Prime Drink.. Think 50 Cent and Vitamin Water. The hustle money is sponsorships.. The long and real money is ownership 💥

2:32 - Being 16/17 years old, with $1000/week to spend on Facebook ads and he "doesn't even know" where that money came from, and then quickly hurries away from talking about it? Very suspicious

I got alot form this video❤ thankfully

[@OmarEltakrori]

Amazing!

[@RyanSaplanPT]

23:00 Your One Action You want them to do: On the landing page have your best podcast clip and then a link to the full podcast below it. Then have an optin for a freebie that gives them a checklist or action list to make doing the thing you teach on the podcast easier (podcast clip) This way you get best of both worlds. But the best action (IMO) is for them to consume more before opting in with an easy 30 second to play.

[@ericbowie-qt2f2bb59]

Can you turn your current professional page into a Theme Page that includes repost of content plus original content?

[@olujobimubarak6214]

Absolutely, but here's the secret sauce, Train your eyes to know the right content because that's what made my faceless Instagram page blow up from Zero to 21k in 6 months

[@olujobimubarak6214]

And you must also know be in the right niche that has a lot of videos for.... Here's an example of few pages that has alot of videos you can post 1. Food videos 2. Luxury. 3. Realestate. 4.Memes 5. Wealth

[@richreviews1279]

Hi I wanted to ask is it advisable to change ones Instagram location and other social media platforms to US? For Marketing and promotion purposes for business As there is more of a demographic and bigger reach?? Thanks i’m commenting from the UK.

[@olujobimubarak6214]

Absolutely, but you can be anywhere and still target any country you want, but lemme give you the secret sauce: any video you reposted will determine what type of audience who will follow you e.g, if you post a video of person speaking English and how they sound then probably Ig algorithm will send your videos to US audience too

[@ashawashington]

Thank you for the wisdom! 🩷

[@Nicole-hc7ex]

This is the one that makes me move

[@AddieMcD]

Yo here’s a tip for your intro: cut out right before he says “instagram theme pages” …that was the perfect setup to hook my (viewer’s) curiosity and get me to to watch til it was revealed

[@areannashears449]

Hearing that helped me to click - because now that I know what it’s about, I’m more likely to listen to learn about that.

Omar, I see you wearing an UNLV hat. Are you from Vegas?

[@OmarEltakrori]

Yes!

[@jessmayo]

Curious how this advice holds up w/ the recent IG update where they’re punishing reposting others content

[@alon_vita]

I think that what he says at around 34:00 goes straight to this point - not to copy other people’s content, but create a community of people who like your style Obviously I haven’t made it (YET 😉), but it seems like a pretty valid point for recent updates 🎉

[@Fantasticfive2]

Same way I felt, I wonder if you’d have to make it more creative other than just uploading the exact samething

[@Inflightmuzik]

@@alon_vita That would literally be the same thing as any advice for starting an instagram account of any kind. That time stamp does not at all acknowledge this point. Having the original creator taking down your content is not the same thing as Instagram itself making its algorithm remove your views and add them to the original account. So this means you're literally just creating an IG account like everyone else and just creating a community of people who like what you're posting. Two completely different strategies and results.

[@alon_vita]

@@Inflightmuzik yo, appreciate the comment and the correction! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 I think I misunderstood what jess said, thank you for the clarification!

[@LukasBazyluk1117]

The "theme" pages (or what I think of them as aggregator accounts) I've seen were rippoffs of original content artists and studios created. They were reposted as if the content were their own without clear attribution and rather ambiguity. Not nice! Else, I enjoyed the conversation :)

[@Digitalwizardy]

Vpn?

[@christopherfant]

What if it works 🔥🔥

[@Thecontentheroes]

I noticed you don’t post shorts ??? Why not

[@CaliJumper]

Harder to monetize. Could use aAI to make an upload and funnel traffic to a page/link tho

[@GodsChildBri]

He said on another video that the way people find you is usually the way they watch you and he wants people who would stick around for the full podcast episode (paraphrasing). He thought about doing a Shorts channel but doesn't want to because he likes how he's growing with the podcast.

[@gabrielgrows_]

#Godfirst is WILD HAAA. You see it on every page too

[@GilliMarieMoody]

Thanks for all the tips. As for Alex Hormozi editing it is highly over edited. I despise it and regularly tell him. Cheers.

[@karissajones2294]

A person could profit with an IG theme page using an affiliate link related to the theme too.

[@OmarEltakrori]

[@Mv3Trader]

I can tell he spends time with Neo.

[@kevinturton3310]

I mean this guy, Taijaun Reshard, sells a course and I was in his video pitch. It was a classic scripted pitch with all the usual ‘trigger points’. Taijaun Reshard is more interested in selling you his course for thousands.

[@chelsead.3134]

Saying the podcast is more valuable than an email is ridiculous. Once you capture the lead, you can promote anything you want, including driving people to your podcast. On the flip side, someone may or not listen to your podcast, then you never hear from them again. However, if the podcast is that important, you can always ask people to subscribe and you will send them your 5 most impactful podcasts that can help them XYZ or help them learn how to XYZ. This serves as bait to get someone on your list, and allows you to curate a playlist of podcast episodes that will give someone a crash course on who you are and how you can help them.

[@GilliMarieMoody]

Used to give credits on my blog posts all the time. Lawyers are no fun, man.

[@DivaGlamSquad]

You got a cease and desist for giving credit?

[@GilliMarieMoody]

@@DivaGlamSquad (1.) Despite posting the link as credit, I immediately took down the photos that I was told about the person AND the lawyer, while bugging me about compensation. Note that I had several blogs, but she did not tell me about all of the photos so, I just assumed I‘d taken ALL of them down. (2.) They continued to bug me to take all the photos down. I didn’t know WTH they were talking about. They also kept demanding money. It was inSANE. (3.) I continued to refuse to adhere to all their demands. Gal finally came through and told me about her work on a site I’d completely forgotten about, as it had so little traction. I immediately took down her work. They continued re money. I ignored so, they eventually went away. Besides… I know from previous legal experience with a bad, bad colleague that they can’t just take blood from a stone. Our 🇨🇦courts don’t work like that.

[@Abundantone444]

Elaborate please

[@KeSpeaksLife]

I can’t help to think he is the Art and Media faceless account 🤣. No shade but we know how these things work.

[@Flixstarstudios]

So I make lyric videos and motion covers, worked with over 5000 artists all over the world...what I don't get is IG never push my work, I make original unique animated rap videos also which I had a huge response from my clients yet IG NEVER EVER push my videos n same with tiktok I get 200/300 views. I feel like making creative work gets you nowhere

[@Divy91311]

Hey Omar , really nice video ! I was wondering if i could help you monitize your audience and help you build a community for your audience , let me know if that sounds interesting for you man ?

[@ScottyLeeBarrett]

This must have been filmed 4 years ago! Even Gary Vee has been talking about how awful the reach is now on Instagram! I guess I just suck! My content is original art and I was posting regular… only to get 20 views… on most posts. While getting much better reach elsewhere. This video is frustrating to listen to. lol 🤦🏽‍♂️ Maybe I should just post food pics and fake private jets. I’ll get 1000 views/likes on FB Reels… and the same Reel get 10 views on IG. 24 min in… sorry I’m done. ✌🏽

One of the things I learned over time is, "Do what the Gurus do, not everything that they tell you." In most cases, a course is not needed. Just do the work for 1 yr and see what works.
