A birdie told me there may be a shop like the TikTok shop on IG in the near future. Would you jump on this if so?

Here are 10 of my favorite viral negative hooks I use and SEE being very successful in the algorithm. You’ll want to save these: The worst decision I ever made in my business was _.” “Am I the only one who cringes every time I see _?” “These are the myths you still believe about _.” “Let’s bust this _ myth once and for all.” “Unpopular truth: (new trend) might not be right for you.” “If you’re struggling with _, this could be why.” “Still believing the myth that _? Here’s what’s actually true…” “STOP doing this one thing if you want to grow faster.” “This might be my most unpopular opinion yet, but _.” “Why your _ strategy isn’t working (and how to fix it).” Happy creating!

Hey friends! I always say when IG drops a new feature, USE IT! They like to push these users out to the masses because it helps them collect data and see if the feature is used and well liked. It is the "collage" feature in stories! When you go to post a story, you can now click "collage" at the top and add up to 20 pictures. The template then does a cool remix of all the photos and you can write text on the story, etc. Definitely a fun new eye catching feature. Let me know if you've used it or plan to!

You all know I LOVE trial reels. They helped my small account rise from the dead and gain 100s of followers, 200+ email subs, and took my reach from 25k to over 200k. I highly recommend you use them, just make sure that you're following these updated rules from IG: 🖐️ As of Sept 1, you cannot post the exact same trial reel over and over again. Too many people started doing this because, typically, with each post the reel would pick up speed! This is not the case anymore, they will actually now suppress views. 🖐️You also used to be able to post up to 25 a day! Now that you can't post the same reel, this wouldn't be feasible anyway. They are saying to do 5 max. Some accounts may be able to do a few more, but I wouldn't exceed this in case you get flagged. 🖐️ Lastly, you can duplicate your in-feed reel and then post that to trials, but then follow the first point in this post. If you want to post the "same" one over and over to test, you must change several of the core edits. EX: change hook and caption. Change caption, audio, and video out, etc, etc. Bottom line: still use them, but use them wisely. Now with people not being able to post the same stuff 25x a day, maybe that will open up the algorithm for the little guys like us :). Hope this helps!

If you don't want to pay for automation yet (ex: manychat), Instagram just launched the update to their AI assistant. You can actually create an avatar and have it send links for you to DMs. It's a free way to start automating if you're just getting started or don't want to pay yet for a service like ManyChat. I talk more about it here and also show a tutorial on how to use it after my last META strategy call. RECAP Tutorial Hope this helps!
