Hey Millie, I used the code but I only have the basic "10 days free" when signing up. I used your link :) Thanks!

[@HighTicketGuru]

So, question if this is a program you use. Why are you on the free trial?

[@MillieAdrian]

@@HighTicketGuru To show you what your account would look like if you're starting from scratch 😁 you see in the very beginning of this video that I made a brand new account to show you how to do that, I continued to use that account throughout the rest of the training so the screenrecording was clean (and you didn't get distracted by all the other folders I already have set up in my other account...that one is a little messy 😂🙈)

[@Thatrandomando]

Ok. You are the first creator who talks about how to grow on social platforms that has actually been relevant and worked for me! Other people are so vague and don’t have good actions step- I literally did what you said in this video step by step and it actually worked!

[@HoustonTXFoodandFun]

Millie your videos are incredibly helpful, easy to follow and concrete. Very actionable, thank you so much!

Am I the only one that noticed someone tried to take over her account? They changed her username,, live streamed about crypto, and her videos were gone for a few hours? I'm so glad she's back!

[@nerokaizanx]

nahh, noticed it too.. she's been hacked. to make it worse apparently she's off social media or something

[@wattstrending]

I tried to give her a heads-up on Instagram but no luck. She's taking an Instagram break to focus more on KZbin. Maybe she's been hacked for a few days. I feel so bad for her, this is her livelihood @@nerokaizanx

[@MillieAdrian]

[@SamVanderWielen]

Thanks for sharing Millie! ❤ Enjoyed watching this process 👏

[@ogkpopper]

Millie always with the goodies! 💕 Question, as a small IG page, less than 1000 followers, people often say "Don't use mega-hashtags, you're never going to be found." Is that still a thing? Also I've heard other people say "You shouldn't use all the hashtags you're allowed to or IG will flag you a spam." How true is this? Sorry if these are silly questions, but I've tried everything.

[@Lyricplanslife]

Same questions!

[@iamliloubloom9062]

It's such a crazy place the whole hashtags saga, today I read a social media manager posted on IG "5 hashtags only". I just can't 😂😢 too much noise and no actual guidance.

At 15:07 when you're talking about the keywords being used in the pop-up text on reels, does it matter if you're creating that text while you're making the reel in Instagram or can you put the keywords into the video while you're making it in a program like Adobe Premiere?

[@pressonnailsbyybs]

#Your videos have been incredibly helpful. I appreciate your honesty and authenticity; it never feels like you're pushing sponsored deals on me. Thank you for your genuine support. #Yesterday, I had planned to rewatch one of your videos, but I noticed your account was down. I'm glad to see your account back up and running. I hope everything is back to normal now.

[@martyquinn_6784]

I started taking instagram "seriously" last year. Hashtags are probably the least important part of my strategy. Keep my audience involve with what I post if far more important for my account😊

@MillieAdrian 🤗 when I've had a post on Instagram do well, I've put it down to using better hashtags & not the post reaching a target audience..same in reverse when a post hasn't done well at all, I've blamed hashtags 😯 & changed everything instead of sticking with relevant hashtags. I really did have the "a-ha" moment!🤗

[@kabinshop2273]

But i am confused, now that the ' recent hashtags ' tab has been removed , unless your post gets huge engagement and gets in to top hashtags your post wont show up .

[@kelsietully7805]

let's go fix these hashtags #⃣#⃣💪💪

Random subject, I have a video idea for your analytical side, out of the Top 50 KZbinrs (by # of subscribers) come from a "Corporate" background. AND, if this number is really small, I would like to know what ex-corporate YT-ers, are from a corporate background, including Alex Hormozi, Codie Sanchez, Erica Kullberg, and Ali Abdaal...

[@johnstagl5651]

First... You're awesome. Now, This is important. What makes for good content? If I have the cure for cancer, you would think that would be good content. Is it the methodology? And when we talk about content we're talking videos, right?

[@getslayso]

Hi John! Matthew from Slay.so here. I think at the root of good content is a genuine understanding of your audience. This is easier the more defined your niche becomes. For example, it's hard to make content that resonates if your target audience is simply 'business owners'. But it can be easier if your audience is small business owners in New York. Even easier if your target audience is solopreneur female business owners who are 30-40 years old and are balancing their their budding digital coaching business while raising two young children in New York. Now, that may seem absurdly specific, but you may be able to get that specific depending on your niche, with enough research. I highly recommend interviewing or surveying people who fall within the target audience space for your content to find out what makes them tick. What goals do they have this year? What knowledge do they lack? What are they afraid of and what stories do they tell themselves? What does their day to day look like? The more in-depth you can answer these questions - and find patterns - the better your content can become. Good content will relate to your audience and make them feel understood while at the same time bringing them immediate value - either entertainment, inspiration, or education which they can implement to better their lives right away. I hope that helps!

[@johnstagl5651]

@@getslayso so the key to good content is to direct my post toward a specific audience, right?

[@getslayso]

@@johnstagl5651 you got it! The more you can make them feel understood, the better. Do you have a target audience already? Who would you say they are?
