Here are my saved folders in IG Here are my two trial reels created from scrolling with intention, saving posts, and now creating! Any feedback? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdKDf6kRfkq/?stkn=Ym9tYmdmbnBtdW1n https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdKc7cTxXC3/?stkn=MWpsaXF5emFhemtybA== Not my proudest reels, first one performed shitty and ive just posted the 2nd one. But my yesterday reel is improving a lot!

made my first post since a lot of time! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcpKZP7J78l/?stkn=MWNvanJ0aHQyamJybg== - This reel is fucking funny because i think it maintains its absurdity for the whole reel but the initial phrase "this thing *shows a taser* i believe it wouldnt stop rape" is shocking because the woman talks so calmly so you get into to see what they are going to show in the video, and it pays off https://www.instagram.com/reel/DceHIevRvUG/?stkn=MW1sem5zemd4eWlocQ== This is a brazilian reel with over a million views thats funny because it starts as a normal edit about endurance but it does not actually talks about a person, its a Banco do Brasil (Traditional bank in Brazil, the first registered enterprise) edit, so it retains or curiosity to see what its gonna be about and the absurdity of the situation just makes anyone w/context laugh https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcPDv9bilp4/?stkn=MWJ0amtzM2NhcGZ5bw== - This one is great. A salesman, dressed like a salesman and talking like a salesman and the visual impact and the subtitle being about a spongebob episode its shocking and absurd. Also he maintains the sheer seriousness about the job while talking about the cartoon https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZTfn-FS1Zt/?stkn=MW4yMGdubjgyem0wMQ== - This one is a traditional street interview reel, but the interviewed person visual just makes so much sense with the question the interviewer makes that it retains so you will see the whole video to see his opinion about the matter and identify any pattern

5 Struggles 1. I’m 38 years old and still working a job I know I don’t want to be doing long-term. 2. I’m trying to provide for my family while also chasing acting, content creation, fitness, and building something of my own. 3. Some days I feel like I’m doing everything right and still not seeing the results fast enough. 4. I’ve put myself out there for opportunities and heard “no,” gotten ignored, or watched things I worked hard on barely get seen. 5. I constantly feel the pressure of knowing I need more money while also refusing to give up on the life I actually want. 5 Contrasting Wins 1. Even though I hate where I’m working right now, I still show up because my family depends on me. 2. I’ve continued pursuing acting and have worked on professional TV/film sets instead of completely giving up on the dream. 3. I keep training and trying to improve myself physically even after long, exhausting workdays. 4. I’ve built my own content platforms and continue creating even when the numbers don’t immediately reward me. 5. I’m still betting on myself. I haven’t accepted that this is where my story ends. My 3 Best Hooks Hook 1: “I’m 38, working a job I hate, and trying to build a life my kids can be proud of.” Hook 2: “Nobody talks about how hard it is to chase your dream when you still have bills due every month.” Hook 3: “The hardest part isn’t working hard. It’s working hard when your life still looks exactly the same.” Reel Concept Emotion Attempting to Evoke: Frustration at first, followed by hope, determination, and the feeling of “damn, I’m going through this too.” Hook “The hardest part isn’t working hard. It’s working hard when your life still looks exactly the same.” Visual Concept Open with me sitting in my car before or after work, still in my work clothes, looking tired and mentally drained. Quick cuts of me walking into work, sitting in traffic, checking the time, putting my head back against the seat, or staring straight ahead. The beginning should feel repetitive and almost claustrophobic — like I’m trapped in the same routine every day.

Idk why i cant bold the text My niche graph and the reasons Depressed young adults - i've been through a lot since i've became an adult and life hasnt been very nice to me, but i passed through very well and since i lived a lot of different experiences a young man can live, i think i can talk really well to this public and be relatable, this is likely motivational content, but not in the corny way, i like to speak the truth Bipolar people - especially men, since men aren't diagnosed as much. i've been through a lot bc of bipolar disorder and now i'm kinda stable, but i think i handled it very well so i can show to people the sheer craziness which contrasts with my sport dedication. Majority of content is vlogging and showing all the degenerate shit i've done through my life Fitness/Bodybuilding - Personal passion, changed a lot physically. Motivational/routine/prep4contest content. Thats actually how i've started but since im on off season my content went dry people who are struggling with recovering/new habits - being sober and changing lifestyle pretty much sucks and isnt as thrilling as living like you gonna die tomorrow, but is completely necessary for quality of life and things that matter. Having someone to tell the truth is essential. Mostly vlogs/routine/showing crazy shit i've done 1. Who should your Reels primarily speak to? C. Strangers who don’t know you yet - 2. What’s the main purpose of a Post? A. Build trust and provide value to current followers 3. What type of tone should your Stories have? B. Casual, personal, and unfiltered 4. Which question is NOT part of the “Think Critically Before Posting” checklist? C. What trending sound should I use? 5. What’s the correct relationship between platform features and goals? B. Reels build reach → Posts build trust → Stories build relationships

i asked for the AI translate bc i wrote the struggles/wins in portuguese, hope you dont mind 1. Chasing the feeling of winning I have bipolar disorder, and I've always been deeply attached to intense emotions and quick sensations. I urgently needed that rush—the feeling of winning—regardless of where it came from. So I fell into several cycles of addiction: drugs, gambling, and anything else that could give me that feeling. Anything that made me feel like I was winning became the most important thing in my life. For a long time, that blinded me. I pushed away and underestimated people who mattered to me—family, relationships, friends. But whenever those manic phases passed, I missed all of them. 2. Ambition without enough grounding I'm someone with incredibly big dreams. Some people might even say they're unrealistic, but I refuse to believe that. Sometimes, though, I lose touch with reality. Combined with my diagnosis, that makes me someone who doesn't measure the cost of achieving what I want. That created financial problems and put me in extremely difficult situations—problems that, in many cases, could have been avoided with a little planning. Because of those impulses driven by my goals, I put myself in uncomfortable and complicated situations and humiliated myself more times than I'd like to admit. 3. Being too intense I'm an extremely intense person in everything I feel, including negative emotions. Even though I never seem to stop moving forward, when I'm in an extremely negative state, I find myself returning to negative habits, places, and people. That makes me lose part of the progress I've made. So I constantly feel like I'm fighting against myself—as if some part of me always wants to drag me down whenever I don't satisfy my own grandiose expectations. 4. Not appreciating small victories I know that everything is a process. I understand the importance of small steps and the things we accomplish every day. But those small victories have lost much of their value to me, and it's incredibly difficult for me to change that mindset.
