Progress Updates (5 total)
Update #1: Grow an instagram page to 1,000 followers
I have dabbled in social media in the past growing my TikTok account to over 150,000 followers but failed in one key aspect. Monetizing my community.
Being passionate in crypto and seeing people I talk to on a daily basis changing their lives with a simple instagram account has made me realize that if anyone can replicate their success it’s me.
Challenges Overcome: I have created the account and begun studying what videos do well and which do not on already successful accounts. I have pre made 4 drafts and will try to record videos daily to promote the best growth.
Update #2: Reached 100 followers
10% completeBeen posting daily, sometimes even twice and am still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Yet to have a true “viral” video yet
I’m not too hard on myself however because the crypto niche is very small (likely less than 1% of Instagram’s users) so growth will naturally be much slower.
Challenges Overcome: Getting consistent views which is nice. Averaging 750 ish with a range of 400-2500
Looking Back: Definitely getting better at editing from even a week ago when I started
Update #3: 200 followers on the page
20% completeSlowly then all at once…
That’s kinda what tends to happen with social media from my experience. Starting to see which videos do well and which do not.
Obstacles Faced: Daily posting is always hard. Need to get back up with a backlog of drafts but the issue with that is my editing and video style increased in quality exponentially so videos I pre recorded even just a few days ago don’t fit up to my current expectations so I tend to either just toss them or refilm
Looking Back: From what I see, as expected watchtime is king like always. Focus on that, hook must be great and you have to keep people engaged especially on those longer videos. I also noticed comments might have a decent pull (could also be because while they’re commenting video is still playing in the background thus increasing watchtime)
Update #4: Reached 500 Followers
50% completeStaying consistent. Some old content being pushed still which is nice and the beauty is posting consistently
Update #5: Reached 1k followers
100% completeActually completed it a few days ago on the exact 30 day mark of creating the account. Definitely nice to see it don’t but I still have a long way to go
Challenges Overcome: How quickly I was able to get it done
Obstacles Faced: Staying consistent
Looking Back: Consistency, even I lacked it at times and that’s when my growth slowed.
