So we were 172 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: there for my birthday and uh, like the last two days. 173 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 4: When Troy left, we sat in a hotel room for 174 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: like ten hours and we mapped out a strategy for 175 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: me to grow on Instagram, right, because I was saying, like, 176 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 4: you know, I want to I want to be like 177 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 4: a financial guy on Instagram, but I only know how 178 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 4: to go about it. But I feel like there was 179 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 4: a need for it in the marketplace. So at the time, 180 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: I had a private page. I have five hundred followers. 181 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: So we we talked about, okay, different strategies that you 182 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: can take, right. So first thing that we did was 183 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 4: figure out exactly like what my goals were, right. So 184 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 4: the first the first goal was to get five thousand followers, right, 185 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 4: But we had history in growing an Instagram page prior 186 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 4: to that. We talked about a little bit fashion. Yeah, 187 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 4: we never we never put that out though, So fashion 188 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: Wave it was a fashion blog that we started in 189 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 4: twenty twelve, right, because in twenty twelve I saw the 190 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 4: direction that Instagram was going in. I like to call 191 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 4: myself a visionary. I kind of saw it happened before 192 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: it happened. So what happened is that, humbly speaking. 193 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 5: I agreed, let's go for it. 194 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: I used to follow a page. I still do follow 195 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: the page called fashion What was the name of it? 196 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: Oh Man, I was gonna say fashion bomb, but it's not. 197 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 2: That's not her. 198 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a fashion page and mont story short, 199 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: it's like a look book, right. But what I realized 200 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 4: in twenty twelve was that they were putting like it 201 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 4: would be a woman when it dressed. But then in 202 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: the caption it would say where to get the dress from. 203 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 4: So it was an ad, but it was camouflaged as 204 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 4: a regular post. Most people didn't realize what was going on. 205 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 4: This is before it sponsored that, but I realized right away. 206 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, this is brilliant, Like this is a 207 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: way where you can reach millions of pe people online. 208 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 4: It's much cheaper. I was assuming for people to advertise 209 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 4: on her Instagram page as opposed to go to like 210 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 4: a magazine for TV, and it's much more effective. 211 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 6: Right, Well, the funny thing is is to not to 212 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 6: just hop in that real quick and we'll probably maybe 213 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 6: go into the genesis of all this. But I had 214 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 6: I had a clothing company for a long time before 215 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 6: any of this, And I remember during the Instagram you 216 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 6: know days of like the twenty twelves and up where yeah, 217 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 6: that was the lick, like that was you know, you 218 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 6: would go in there and you'd be like, oh, like 219 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 6: this is you know, that was what the algorithms kicked 220 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 6: in and all the money. But that was a period 221 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 6: of time where it was really like, oh, I can 222 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 6: just put this out here, and you know, even if 223 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 6: I only have three thousand people seeing all three thousand 224 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 6: of them are seeing and I put my link in 225 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 6: and we'll just go from there. I mean that, you 226 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 6: know that changed. That was the that was the way, 227 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 6: that was the method. 228 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 3: We sat here. It was in this house. We sat 229 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 3: here and we were downstairs and you're like, yo, this 230 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 3: is crazy, Like you can't. I never forget you, Like, yo, 231 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: print is dead, nobody anymore is dead. 232 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: I said, like, this is the new wave right here. 233 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 4: That's a fact that twenty two I said, prints over, 234 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 4: this is this is this is what it is, right. 235 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: I'm like, we gotta, we gotta do this. So we 236 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 4: started a fashion blog called fashion fashion Wave, fashion Way 237 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 4: fashion Wait two v's yeah. So we had the fashion 238 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 4: wave right, and we built fashion Wave to like ten 239 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 4: thousand followers and we got to thirteen. Yeah, it was 240 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 4: pretty sizeable. How we built fashion Wave was we did that. 241 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 4: We kind of cheated on that. So this, yeah, it's 242 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: full transparency. So there's the websites and his apps where 243 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 4: you can actually like other people's pictures. Yeah, and so 244 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: the theory is that you liked enough pictures, then people 245 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 4: see that you liked it, they'll look on your page, 246 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: and then if your page is decent, then they'll follow around. 247 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: It actually worked. 248 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 6: Oh no, Instagram, I can't reiterate this enough. Before the 249 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 6: algorithm kicked in, if you were any kind of like 250 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 6: you know, at any kind of savvy on Instagram, like 251 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 6: it was so much easier to grow following or so 252 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 6: much easier to monetize it. Like it was like mind 253 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 6: bendingly easy compared. 254 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 4: To that, it was so okay. So we were doing 255 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: that and it was growing at a pretty fast rate, right, 256 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 4: and then we actually even paid for a shout out 257 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: the shoutout page. The shoutout page is too so we 258 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: paid for a shoutout that helped us, Like we paid 259 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 4: for it was a shoutout page, like eight hundred thousand. 260 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 4: They shouted us out and they off that shot out. 261 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 4: We got like two thousand followers. Yeah yeah, and it's crazy, 262 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 4: Oh for sure, Yeah, it's crazy. So phone stopped working 263 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 4: turn off after like a couple of months. Like like 264 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 4: I said, we got up to around twelve thousand followers. 265 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: Now this is this is a cautionary tale though. 266 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 3: This episode of Earnier Liasua is brought to you by 267 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: First Republic Bank. 268 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 2: The world is changing and your needs are evolving. 269 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: As your focus turns to what matters most to you 270 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: and your community.

So that's this is the first experience 286 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 4: with meet growing a page US growing a page right. 287 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 4: The only thing that we didn't do. That's another thing 288 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: that you can do is you follow people and then 289 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: you unfollow this app apps for that also, Now all 290 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 4: of those ways work, pay for shoutouts, pay to like 291 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 4: other people's pig is paid to an app to follow 292 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 4: somebody then unfollow them all though they actually all work, 293 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: but they're not effective because what happens is that you 294 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: get followers, but they're ghost followers, right, So what happens 295 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: is that now they're not engaged. So you have ten 296 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 4: thousand followers, but you might be getting fifty lights on 297 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 4: your pictures. 298 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, oh you get you have like fifty thousand followers 299 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: and there's like two comments. 300 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just crazy. 301 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: It's not it's not it's not effective. It's a fast 302 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: way to grow up page, but it's not effective. Right. 303 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 4: So learning from that experience, fast forward like five years 304 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: when I when I was starting my page, I said, 305 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 4: I didn't want to do it that way. I want 306 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: to do it organically. So I did it organically. And 307 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 4: so the first thing I did was I talked to Valencia. 308 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: She was a guest show. Yeah, so val she had 309 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 4: a page when she has one hundred and sixty thousand, 310 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 4: thousands followers something like that. She was she's mastered social media. 311 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 4: So the first thing that she told me was, look 312 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: what everybody else in your industry is doing, and do 313 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: the complete opposite. The other way, do the complete opposite. Right, 314 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 4: I didn't fully understand her. At first it took me 315 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 4: a while, but now I definitely understand it, so, right, 316 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 4: A lot of it for me was trial and error. Right, 317 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 4: So I was posting. The first thing you have to 318 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 4: do is post very consistently on Instagram. That's that's the 319 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 4: biggest That's the number one thing I do know. You 320 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 4: gotta have content. That's that's the first thing that will 321 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: knock out ninety percent of the people right away. They're 322 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: not consistent. It sounds like it's easy, but it's not. 323 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 4: It's not. It's not. So that's the first thing you 324 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 4: have to do is post content, right. The next thing 325 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 4: you have to do is actually figure out what kind 326 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 4: of content you're gonna post and how is it different 327 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 4: from everything else, and how is it going to be 328 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 4: intriguing to the to the audience. Right. So, like for 329 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: me personally, it took me a while to figure that 330 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 4: out because at first I was just making like random 331 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 4: selfie videos about finance and stuff like that. But even 332 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 4: for me, it was kind of boring and it got 333 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 4: some traction, but it was boring. But as I was 334 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 4: doing that, I was still growing the page. It wasn't 335 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: grown a lot, but it was growing, right, It would 336 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: go from like A thousand, two thousand three, cause I 337 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 4: was just putting out constant content. 338 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: You had clips of the classrooms. 339 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was putting out classrooms when I was teaching 340 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 4: financial literacy and stuff like that, and you know, it 341 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 4: was it was starting to pick up. But when I 342 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,359 Speaker 4: when my page really took off, is when I completely 343 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: rechanged it. So the first thing that Valves told me 344 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 4: to do was look on your page and eliminate anything 345 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 4: that is unrelated to what you're doing. So she told 346 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 4: me that, like your Instagram page, if somebody just looks 347 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 4: at it for the first time without reading your bio, 348 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 4: they should be able to tell what you actually do. Right, 349 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 4: a lot of times people have a lot of random, 350 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: different things on your Instagram page and you don't know 351 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 4: what person does right specialization exactly. 352 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: How to get like white white exactly. 353 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 4: So that's that's one of the first That's the first 354 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: thing that I did was I eliminated all of the 355 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 4: things on my Instagram page that wasn't really related to 356 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 4: what I wanted the public to see in that regards, right. 357 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 4: The next thing I did was I started to dig 358 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: deeper and offer are more value than almost anybody else 359 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 4: I would see it on Instagram. So I found my 360 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 4: niche in sports and entertainment, but the financial backstories on it, right. 361 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 4: So what I would do is I would research articles 362 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 4: about different you know, topics, trending topics, and I would write. 363 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 4: I became like kind of a journalist, right, Like I 364 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 4: would write like in depth, three paragraph write ups on it. 365 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 4: And people really found that intriguing. 366 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 3: Right, They're not to cut you off, but like that 367 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: was the part. I was like, wait, they didn't know 368 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: these stories. I'm like, you saw that post. 369 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, they didn't know. And when we saw 370 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: the feedback, it was. 371 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 6: Like it was probably just your conversation and you're just like, oh, 372 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 6: this is what we know. 373 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: And and then some of them he posted, I'm like, wait, 374 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 3: I didn't know that right, right now you. 375 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 4: Got something yeah. So that and then I also fixed 376 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 4: so I'm learning as I'm going, right, So I said, okay, 377 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: I found a nice niche with this. Then I also 378 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 4: figured out that people like headlines, right, So I kind 379 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 4: of mastered the clickbait thing, right, So in all my 380 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 4: articles that I was writing, I use the app where 381 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 4: I actually put the caption on it. So the caption 382 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 4: is very important. Right this. I can't stress this enough. 383 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 4: The caption is extremely important because that's what's going to 384 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: get people's attention. Right, So I'll see an article. Now 385 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 4: you have to be creative with this. You can't. I 386 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 4: can't tell somebody how to actually make a caption that's 387 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 4: going to get people interested. But you have to think, right, 388 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 4: use your brain short, you don't. People don't like to read. 389 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: This is something that is extremely important. People don't like 390 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 4: to read. So the least amount of words that you 391 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 4: can use the better, even with write ups, right. This 392 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: is something that Valve taught me. Also, at first, I 393 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 4: was writing very long write ups. Anything more than three paragraphs, 394 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 4: in my opinion, is too long. Even three paragraphs might 395 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 4: be too long, but it might not be as long 396 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 4: as it's intriguing. The key is to make it very 397 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 4: detailed in a short amount of time. This is why 398 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 4: the Instagram sixty second videos are perfect, because they say 399 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 4: the average person's attention stand is like ten seconds or something. 400 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 4: You lose people's attention very quickly. Right. So as I'm 401 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 4: doing that, I figure I figured out how to capture 402 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 4: people's attention by writing about sports entertainment. I use sports 403 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 4: and entertainment because it's like a trojan horse, right. I 404 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 4: know that people are interested in sports and entertainment pop 405 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 4: culture more than anything else. So if I'm a regular 406 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 4: finance guy, I could talk about finance. I know that 407 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: ninety percent of people don't care about that. But if 408 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 4: I can talk about Alan Iverson and then talk about taxes, 409 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 4: or if I could talk about Lebron Jain is entire 410 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 4: and with entrepreneurship, nine times out at tend people are 411 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 4: more likely to click on that or watch that video 412 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 4: as opposed. 413 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: To something else built in, like the medicines in the 414 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: candy exactly, saying I mean that's. 415 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 5: Just the way any of it works. 416 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 6: You know, you gotta in order to give them what 417 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 6: they need, you kind to kind of give them what 418 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,200 Speaker 6: they want. 419 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: It works, yeah, exactly. And sports entertainment come naturally for 420 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 4: me because those are two things that I like, we 421 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: argue about that that I love doing that. I'm doing 422 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 4: that my whole life, right, So that's why I use 423 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 4: sports entertainment. So I say that to say, as far 424 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 4: as somebody going to Instagram page, you have to think 425 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 4: outside the box. It's a finance page. But I use 426 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 4: sports and entertainment, which are directly related to finance, but. 427 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 3: It can be definitely is. I mean it's a sports business, 428 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 3: so exactly definitely is. 429 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 4: So another thing with that is now you have to 430 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 4: figure out timing to post. Timing of post is very important. 431 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: I see people posting at one o'clock in the morning. 432 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: You have to figure out the top times to post. 433 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: So me personally, my schedule usually on average is like 434 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 4: eleven o'clock in New York Easter. To stay in the time 435 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 4: eleven o'clock in the morning, I'll have a post, maybe 436 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 4: like a write up right or like a picture or 437 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 4: something like that. One I'll stretch it out three I'll 438 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 4: do three hours right, so maybe like around one two 439 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 4: o'clock midday, I'll post something else. I usually try to 440 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 4: post videos at like five six after people get off 441 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 4: of work, because what I find is that a lot 442 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 4: of times people work, it's hard for them to listen 443 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 4: to videos while they're actually working. So I don't usually 444 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 4: try to post videos. Sometimes I do, but most of 445 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 4: the times I don't post videos during the daytime. I 446 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 4: post videos at night. Not too late at night, though, 447 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 4: like right when people get off six o'clock is prime 448 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: time six seven o'clock Eastern Standard time's prime time and 449 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 4: post videos. That's just what works for me. Everybody's different, 450 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 4: that's what it works for me. Everything well calculated, No, 451 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 4: you have to be extremely calculated. Also as far as 452 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 4: the Instagram, you gotta treat Instagram like a job. So 453 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 4: my sleeping pattern has been off for the last two years. 454 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is yeah. 455 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 4: No, yeah, it's a fact. No, it's a fact. I 456 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 4: haven't had normal sleeping in two years. 457 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: I told you that, man. Yeah, Like no, let me 458 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 2: tell you. I can't tell you. 459 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 3: So, like most people don't see this, man, but like 460 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 3: the earner leisure like really is a testament to what 461 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 3: you're doing. So like I know, like you're up till 462 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 3: three in the morning most nights. Like this guy doesn't sleep, 463 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 3: like legit does not sleep, is up all day works. 464 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: So sometimes like we'll be talking. 465 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 3: And I'm like, yo, like wake up, man, Like right, 466 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 3: he's either here like super dedicated here or he's like 467 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 3: typing up things like and we could be doing anything, 468 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 3: like we could be having a conversation or we could 469 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 3: be at dinner and he's constantly doing it. So like 470 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 3: my thing was like I'm watching him grow and this 471 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: is a testament too that people should learn. Like I 472 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 3: want to see my brother win. I want to see 473 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 3: him win one hundred percent. So it's like, how can 474 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: I make this a little bit easier for him? So 475 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 3: I was like, you know what, you don't have to 476 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 3: search anymore, right anything I find I'm sitting, We're gonna 477 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 3: get the page right right, know what I'm just saying, 478 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 3: like the testament to what he's doing. Like legit, Like 479 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 3: his mom came out to me and was like, yo, listen, Troy, 480 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 3: he got to get some sleep. I'm like, yeah, I 481 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 3: don't know if he knows how to anymore. 482 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 5: If someone isn't concerned a little bit, I. 483 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: Don't know, said, I don't know if he knows anymore, 484 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: right right, legit? 485 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 4: Like because like I always say, when you really scrambling, no, 486 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 4: there's no work hours. That's the difference. See people talk 487 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 4: about being an entrepreneur and having their own business and really, 488 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 4: but you got to understand the average person. We're trained 489 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 4: for a schedule. As she means, we go to we 490 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 4: start school, and from kindergarten to college, we have a schedule, uh, 491 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 4: like eight o'clock in the morning to like three o'clock 492 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 4: in the afternoon. Even if you're in college, it's still 493 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 4: kind of some schedule that you have to go through 494 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 4: for classes, and then when you get a job, it's 495 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 4: either nine to five, ten to six.

But if you an entrepreneur, that's what 552 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 4: it really is. So for me, there's no workouts. So 553 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 4: I have the financial planning business I do during the day, 554 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 4: the Instagram social media I do during the day, but 555 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 4: also I do a lot of that at night, so 556 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 4: I work bad at night. So what I do is 557 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 4: that from like eleven o'clock, From like eleven o'clock to 558 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 4: like three o'clock in the morning, that's when I'll work, 559 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So I'll research stuff. Then 560 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 4: I'll have all my posts ready for the next day. 561 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 4: It's like mail prep right to have it ready. So 562 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 4: now okay, I have three posts already planned for the 563 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 4: next day, So now we have two pages. Now I 564 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 4: gotta have six posts planned for the next day that 565 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 4: I know. I'm a post eleven, three and six right right. 566 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 4: But then also with that you have to learn. So 567 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 4: I've seen a video with Nipsey Hustle before when he 568 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 4: talked about in the early stages, he was his own engineer. 569 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 4: He learned every part of the process. That's that's the 570 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 4: same thing with me. I learned every part of the process. 571 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 4: As far as how to make a post, it's not 572 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 4: that easy. So there's different apps that I learned how 573 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 4: to use. So the first thing I learned how to 574 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 4: do was edit videos. So there's app called Splice. So 575 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 4: when you see a video, it's like if you watch 576 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 4: a movie right in sixty seconds for like the podcast, 577 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 4: and we put clips on Instagram. That sixty second clip 578 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 4: might be from a three minute video. I got to 579 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 4: cut out the dead spaces. So a dead space is 580 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 4: like this, like if I'm talking and then it's like 581 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 4: five seconds of that that that five seconds means a 582 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 4: lot for Instagram posts, right, so you got to cut 583 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 4: that out. Or if I'm making a good point and 584 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 4: then I just talked about some nonsense for a minute, 585 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 4: but then I make another good point. Now I got 586 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 4: to cut out that one minute. 587 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:06,479 Speaker 6: Right. 588 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: So and I learned how to do just buy myself. 589 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 4: I just it's not hard. But that's the app Swice. 590 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 4: Also another app that I use is vint Viant is 591 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: the app that I put the captions on the videos. Yeah, 592 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 4: so that's that's the app called Vaught. Sometimes you want 593 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 4: to speed up a video, so video Speeder is a 594 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 4: is an app that I use to speed up videos. Right, 595 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 4: It's like you can have like a a video might 596 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 4: be a minute in ten seconds, but you want to 597 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 4: make it a minute. You speed it up so it 598 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 4: actually fits in a minute. That's another that's another useful 599 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 4: app as well. Then there's another app called Perfect Video. 600 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 4: Perfect Video allows you to add music and then it 601 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 4: does some other stuff, right, So I say that to 602 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 4: say that learning about apps, and this is why this 603 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 4: conversation is valuable. Leading into apps is extremely important because 604 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 4: you literally when we're in the day and age now 605 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 4: where you can make you can teach yourself how to 606 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 4: make a movie if you really, if you really are 607 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 4: dedicated facts, dedicated enough facts, you don't have to pay 608 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 4: anybody do anything. 609 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 5: University of YouTube is just what it is. 610 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 6: I'm like, I'll tell you flat out, you know, because 611 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 6: everything I'm gonna need about all of those because everything 612 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 6: I do, I mean, I handle all the social media 613 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 6: and everything and all the content for quick Track, and 614 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 6: I mean I just I'm Premiere Pro and I just 615 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 6: do everything through there. 616 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 5: But like I mean, I have. 617 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 6: People who have gone to you know, l a Academy 618 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 6: of Film and have been like how do you do that? 619 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 5: And I'm like, I just YouTube this and. 620 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 4: Like what you're talking about? 621 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: Like everything that everything that the like there. 622 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 5: Is you know. 623 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 6: To My thing is, especially with creating any content, you 624 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 6: just have to be able to formulate the question you 625 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 6: want answered, because there's an app for that. 626 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 4: When I say there's a that there really isn't.

Now we got to the content. Content. 642 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,959 Speaker 4: I can't stress this enough. One of the big mistakes 643 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 4: that people make on social media is that they think 644 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,840 Speaker 4: quality is more important than content. It's not true. Content 645 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 4: is more important in quality right. What I mean mean 646 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 4: by that is that you see a lot of people 647 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 4: in their videos is it looks like Steven Spielberg music 648 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 4: behind it and don't but they're not talking about anything right. 649 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 4: Our videos shot on the iPhone with a five ninety 650 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 4: nine app that I used to write the caption on it. 651 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 4: It's not the best quality. Hopefully we will, we will 652 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 4: improve our quality. 653 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 2: That's good too, though, because like the our audience gets 654 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:25,920 Speaker 2: to see us grow. 655 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 6: The thing about that is as well as you know, 656 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 6: some wise people once told me this, but once you 657 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 6: invest in upping your quality, you can never reverse. You know, 658 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 6: you can never go back to just getting off the 659 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 6: iPhone and going to work. 660 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 5: So you want to stay in there as long as 661 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 5: you possibly can. 662 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, that's true. And then also people care 663 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 4: more about content that The example I always use is 664 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 4: Bobby's murder. Right, that video was shot on an iPhone. Right, 665 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 4: It was a catchy dance. He threw his hat in 666 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 4: the air and that it came back down. 667 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 5: I literally landed working looked up. 668 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 4: It never came back down. It was a good beat 669 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 4: and just a good song, and it caught wildfire. 670 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 5: It wasn't even his, by the way, fun fact. 671 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 4: It was, But I say that to say he didn't 672 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 4: spend a million dollars on his video fire exactly. The 673 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 4: people want what's authentic, they want what's real, and they 674 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 4: want content. Content is more important. That's why I want 675 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 4: to tell people all the time, like content content, It 676 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 4: doesn't cost anything to pull your iPhone out and just 677 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 4: start recording, right, You're gonna figure it out as you go. 678 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 4: But if you if you're waiting to like have the 679 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 4: perfect lighting, have the perfect budget, you're always gonna be 680 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 4: waiting because it's never nothing is ever going to be perfect. 681 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: Right, we find it, I mean, we know that it's 682 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 2: part of the game, it's. 683 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 4: Part of the content. Content is king, and you have 684 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 4: to figure out content for yourself because nobody can tell 685 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 4: you what kind of content you're gonna make, right, It 686 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 4: got to be something that is unique and solely you. 687 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 4: Right because even with me, Like so when I started 688 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 4: doing videos and then I started doing Here's how like, 689 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 4: I didn't see anybody else doing Here's how. Nobody Here's 690 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 4: how like? It would be like how to make a 691 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 4: million dollars Here's how. You're on Instagram right now you 692 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 4: see a bunch of here's how video. But that's that's 693 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 4: dope though, because that's saying that people find value in it. 694 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: Right at first, it was like yo, but I was 695 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 2: like yo, it's cool. 696 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 4: Though. 697 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 6: The impact with with how connected we all are, you 698 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 6: haven't done anything until something on copy. 699 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 8: Yeah. 700 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 4: But the thing about it is that because I even 701 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 4: see seeing in doing it, I saw seeing. 702 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 5: That, Yeah, that that would make me know, I'll be 703 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 5: a little tight. 704 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 4: But the thing about it is that they can never 705 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 4: duplicate your brain, so it's nothing for me to come 706 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 4: up with a new idea at all. So that's why 707 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 4: it's like it's not even because things move so quick 708 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 4: on the internet anyway, right, So that's another thing too. 709 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 4: You have to be you can never stay stagnant, and 710 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 4: you have to stay up up to speak. So like 711 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 4: now I'm noticing that Instagram TV is getting more views 712 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 4: than Instagram videos. I think Instagram is doing that on purpose. 713 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 4: So Instagram, this is something. This, This is not a 714 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 4: conspiracy theory. Instagram has an algorithm, right, and they change 715 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 4: their algorithm regularly. They change their algorithm regularly. And they 716 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 4: also they they have all kinds of tricks in place 717 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 4: to monitor and to restrict your growth if they feel. 718 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 5: They want, you have to pay Zuckerberg. It's the way 719 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 5: it is. That's how they that's how they want. 720 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 6: I mean, if you're not hip to it, if you 721 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 6: don't actually strategize and go through it and kind of 722 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 6: jump through the hoop. If you try to play the 723 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 6: same game too long, they'll be like, all right, sick. 724 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 5: You know, Mark Zuckerberg. 725 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 4: Says, happened to me. They shadow band me twice. So 726 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 4: if anybody is not familiar with shadow band, shadow band 727 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,760 Speaker 4: is when they limit the reach of your post without 728 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 4: you actually knowing that they limit the reach of your post. 729 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 4: So what happens is that hashtags. Hashtags is also another 730 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 4: great way to grow your following. Hashtags does work. They 731 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 4: do work, but you have to be careful with hashtags, 732 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 4: right because with hashtags, So what I was doing before 733 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 4: is that it was like copy and paste, Like I 734 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 4: think you're allowed to put thirty hashtags on a post, right, 735 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 4: but I will copy and paste and put it in 736 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,879 Speaker 4: the caption because that way nobody can see it. It's 737 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 4: kind of tacky to me to put it in your post, right, 738 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 4: But it works. You can see the analytics on it 739 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 4: and be like half of the people reached was reached 740 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 4: through hashtags, right. But what happened is that if you 741 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 4: use the same group of hashtags like copy and past, 742 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 4: copy and paste, what happens is that now it alerts 743 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 4: Instagram and they look at your account they flag your account, right, 744 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 4: so now they look at it like it might be spam. 745 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 4: They shadow band. The first time I got shadow band, 746 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 4: I didn't know what was going on. I just my 747 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 4: post just dropped dramatically as far as engagement. How I 748 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 4: learned I got shadowed. How I knew I got shadow 749 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 4: band is that so I put a hashtag like one ha, 750 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 4: hashtag like earn a Lesia on a post and then 751 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 4: I searched that hashtag and my post wasn't on there. 752 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 4: So that means that they like they took the hashtag 753 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 4: is on there, but it's not showing public right right. 754 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 4: And then I googled what that meant, and then I 755 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 4: found out that that shadow band shadow band works. It's 756 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 4: fourteen days to the exact moment. This is true because 757 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 4: I tested it twice. It can't happened to me twice. 758 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 4: Fourteen days to the exact moments. And now I don't 759 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,479 Speaker 4: even use at all. Yeah, hashtags are. 760 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 6: Dead and that like that's a huge component. They're not dead, 761 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 6: but it's it's you gotta mind your you know, you 762 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 6: gotta kind of be mindful of. 763 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 4: You gotta gotta you gotta be very careful with hashtag 764 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 4: that's extremely important. Like I said, it's a great way 765 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 4: to grow, but if you're using the same hashtags, you 766 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 4: will get shadow. So another thing I want to talk 767 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 4: about is that a lot of times people are right, 768 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 4: you're going into Instagram to monetize, Right, It's important to 769 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 4: know the numbers of monetization and what you're looking to do. 770 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 4: So what I mean by that is that sometimes a 771 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 4: page can have I'll give you an example. So I 772 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 4: know a Instagram model bartender type she has like, let's 773 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 4: say millions of followers, right, Like, let's say three million followers. 774 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 4: I know somebody else who is just the regular person 775 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 4: who has one hundred and fifty thousand followers, right, the 776 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,760 Speaker 4: one hundred The person who has one hundred and fifty 777 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 4: thousand followers I know for a fact, is making more 778 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 4: money on Instagram than the three million dollar bartender. The 779 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 4: reason why is that the three million follower bartender is 780 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 4: limited in the post that she can monetize. Right. It's like, 781 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 4: how many companies are going to pay a bartender the 782 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 4: post You're limited to lingerie, tummy t's waistbands. Yeah, maybe 783 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 4: fashion over if you're lucky, right. 784 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 2: A very high get to it, get to it. 785 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 4: So now you have you have three million followers, but 786 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 4: it's hard to monetize that, where the person with one 787 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 4: hundred and twenty followers is a clean page. So now 788 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 4: they have major corporations, Macy's, Calvin Klein, all kinds of 789 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 4: stuff like that that are paying. Their budget is way higher. 790 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 4: Oh for thousands of dollars yea thousand dollars for one 791 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,879 Speaker 4: Instagram post, right, So that's something to keep in mind 792 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 4: too because also on YouTube, a YouTube channel, a financial 793 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 4: YouTube channel like ours, make sure you subscribe to our YouTube. 794 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 4: A financial YouTube channel could have let's say ten thousand 795 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 4: follow ten thousand subscribers. That's more valuable than maybe even 796 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:32,000 Speaker 4: one hundred thousand followers to a page that's cursing, that 797 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 4: has all kinds of stuff, right, because they're not going 798 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 4: to get ads. YouTube is very restrictive of who they 799 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,800 Speaker 4: give ads to they watch it. Even with our posts. 800 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 4: We had we had one video with Al Harrington when 801 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 4: we talked about the cannabis industry. We didn't get ads 802 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 4: on that video because of this cannabis the. 803 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 2: Fact that the title had marijuana and it was enough they. 804 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 4: Know for sure. 805 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, that's one of those examples where 806 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 2: we're learning as we. 807 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,959 Speaker 6: Got it, so let's move fast and break things. 808 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, so when you look at monetizing, so when I 809 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 4: what I mean by that is that when you look 810 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 4: to grow a page to monetize it, it's not always 811 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 4: all about followers. It's about the content that you're putting 812 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 4: out and the quality of you know, your post and 813 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,680 Speaker 4: what you're doing. And also engagement is very important as well. 814 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 4: So don't always get caught up in numbers because your 815 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 4: smaller amount of numbers can actually be very valuable if 816 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 4: a you have strong engagement and b you have clean 817 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:28,440 Speaker 4: content or content that can be valuable to people that 818 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 4: want to use your page as a for advertisement. And 819 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 4: also also I will stress the fact that you have 820 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 4: to you have to think about long term game. Right. 821 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,000 Speaker 4: So what I mean by that is that people get 822 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,920 Speaker 4: in and that they want to make money in Instagram 823 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 4: right away, It's obvious they get like three hundred followers 824 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 4: and they start trying to promote a seminar or come 825 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 4: to my you know online course. It's like, no, you 826 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 4: don't have you don't even have a big enough platform, right, 827 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 4: you gotta give out samples first, you gotta give out 828 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 4: sample first, right, So it might take a year or 829 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,439 Speaker 4: two years of giving out free information, free tost. You're 830 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 4: growing your following, now you can offer a paid product. 831 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense to try to offer a paid 832 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 4: product before you you've even established credibility. I see that 833 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 4: all the time, though. People are so thirsty for business. 834 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 4: As soon as they get on Instagram. Two weeks later, 835 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 4: I see them promoting paid events. Those are never gonna work. 836 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 4: It's never gonna work. You have to grow your following 837 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 4: and then you get money on the back end. The 838 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 4: back end is always more lucrative than the front. And 839 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 4: I can't stress that enough. People need patience. It doesn't 840 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 4: happen overnight. Patience is very key, extremely key. And the 841 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 4: last thing, the last thing that I'll talk about with 842 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 4: the Instagram growth is that we talked about the long game. 843 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 4: But also I cannot stress this enough either. You have 844 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 4: to put in work. It sounds very sounds very easy, 845 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 4: it's not. Social media is like any other job campaign 846 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 4: that you're running. It takes time. It doesn't happen overnight. 847 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 4: You have to sit down, figure out a strategy, figure 848 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 4: out what works for you. Because everybody's different, right, you 849 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 4: have to commit time into doing that. If you're not 850 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 4: willing to commit time, maybe it's not for you. And 851 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 4: that's fine, Like I said, you don't. Everybody doesn't have 852 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 4: to grow a social media paine. 853 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got that was like a comment like somebody 854 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 3: put in the comments when we was shouting out Mike, 855 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 3: we shout out mic and it was like, well, if 856 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 3: he has fifteen hundred, you have eight thousand, why then 857 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 3: he do it for himself. 858 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 2: And that was one of the things. It's just like, 859 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 2: we don't. 860 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 3: He doesn't want to grow as past, right, We'd rather 861 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 3: like if and our team is just like, yo, if 862 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 3: the shot has this thing going, like, let's. 863 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 4: Just support them. 864 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, So what you know, the funny thing is, And 865 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 6: to piggyback off that point that I always think it's 866 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 6: interesting because I've always really thought about like the disconnect 867 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 6: between people who want to grow their social media following 868 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 6: and actually doing it. And I think it's funny because 869 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 6: just because it's in an app they're looking for, you know, 870 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,799 Speaker 6: apps are mostly here to you know, automate to make 871 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 6: things go faster in your life. So they think like, oh, 872 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 6: if I want to do this, there should be a 873 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 6: way to also automate that process. But that's not the case, 874 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 6: you know, it's it's not they don't really don't give 875 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 6: it the proper respect of like, yeah, that dude, who 876 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 6: got you know, even a fifty thousand you know, sweat 877 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 6: equity when into that. 878 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 4: And also too, it's so a lot of times so 879 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 4: like earn a Lesia, Right, So it took me two 880 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 4: years to grow my personal page from five hundred thousand 881 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 4: followers to right now I'm at eighty. But like let's say, 882 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 4: in January, I was at fifty thousand, So it took 883 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 4: me two years to grow my personal page from zero 884 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,000 Speaker 4: pretty much to fifty. Earn Alesia I started because I 885 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 4: run the early Leisia page. I started earning Lesion in January. 886 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 4: It took me six months to scale earn a Lesia 887 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:59,080 Speaker 4: from zero to seventy thousand. The reason being it's a 888 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 4: lot easier to scale a page when you already have 889 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 4: another page. Right. That's something that people don't realize enough either. 890 00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:07,040 Speaker 4: Even with starting a podcast. People try to start a 891 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,760 Speaker 4: podcast with one hundred followers, you don't have an audience. 892 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 4: What are you who's gonna list all leverage? It's all 893 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,400 Speaker 4: about it's easier to scale. It's easy to scale a 894 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 4: page from another page. It's also easier to scale a 895 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,760 Speaker 4: brand as opposed to a person. People are more likely 896 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 4: to follow a brand page than they are a personal page. 897 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,319 Speaker 4: And your leasure is growing faster at a faster rate 898 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 4: than my own personal page. People are more likely. It's 899 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 4: just human nature. I don't know why. People are more 900 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 4: likely to follow something that doesn't directly attached to one 901 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 4: person as they are to a one person's personal page. 902 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 2: And that of the point. 903 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,399 Speaker 3: It's like, your leader has seventy thousand, right, I think 904 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:53,720 Speaker 3: I might have just cracked a thousand. 905 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 2: But I'm like that's fine, right, Like I'm still fine. 906 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 2: Like there's there's no social equity that comes with that. 907 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 2: For me, it's like, rather build. 908 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,200 Speaker 3: The brand, let shot build his personal brand and just 909 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 3: add value to what we're doing already. 910 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 6: Well, people want to be a part of something, right 911 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 6: right right, you know, you know, like you're you're buying 912 00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,640 Speaker 6: into it, Like I said to piggyback off you if yours, 913 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 6: If it's one person, they might like that one person, 914 00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 6: but they're trying to buy into something bigger than that. 915 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 5: Earn your leisure is so much bigger. It's called the 916 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 5: t shirts. It's so much bigger than just like, oh 917 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:24,319 Speaker 5: that's a good post. 918 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 4: You just exactly that and that, and that's fine. Yeah, 919 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 4: because your lesia grows, I grow also he grows.
