00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:05.460
What if you're not naturally an Instagram user? Can you still take this course

2
00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:07.859
and build an Instagram audience

3
00:00:08.415 --> 00:00:12.755
and make sales through Instagram and all the good stuff that comes with audience building?

4
00:00:13.215 --> 00:00:14.434
Absolutely. Yes.

5
00:00:15.135 --> 00:00:16.515
And why do I say that?

6
00:00:17.529 --> 00:00:20.109
Because you're looking at a non Instagram user right here.

7
00:00:21.849 --> 00:00:22.349
I

8
00:00:22.650 --> 00:00:25.470
never find myself randomly scrolling Instagram.

9
00:00:25.689 --> 00:00:35.055
I never I only go there because I'm a creator and I'm posting stuff and I'm responding to people who comment sometimes and

10
00:00:35.435 --> 00:00:36.640
direct message me.

11
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:38.820
I am not an Instagram user.

12
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:41.360
Now I had to learn how to do it.

13
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:44.640
Just the things like what's a story and what are those circles at the top?

14
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.645
Oh, those are stories or, oh, how do I pause this?

15
00:00:48.505 --> 00:00:58.010
Just the stuff I teach you in this course, I had to learn it so that I can use it as a creator and as a salesperson, as a as a business owner, not as

16
00:00:58.390 --> 00:00:59.350
a regular user.

17
00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:04.034
So don't I know some of you watching this think that's crazy making because you you're a regular Instagram user.

18
00:01:04.034 --> 00:01:07.174
That's why you fell in love with the platform and that's why you wanna create on it.

19
00:01:07.315 --> 00:01:10.850
But I promise you there are plenty of us who are nonusers

20
00:01:11.310 --> 00:01:13.329
who are happy to use it

21
00:01:14.509 --> 00:01:16.850
to to reach people who are users like you.

22
00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:17.810
Okay?

23
00:01:18.255 --> 00:01:22.115
So if you run an ad on Instagram, I probably will never see it because I don't scroll Instagram.

24
00:01:23.135 --> 00:01:27.680
I might change my opinion a little bit now that Sean oh, well, okay.

25
00:01:27.740 --> 00:01:32.080
I think I'm gonna put this module or put this lesson at the very top of the course,

26
00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:36.354
to encourage people to to to keep taking this course. But Sean is,

27
00:01:36.895 --> 00:01:38.734
actually an Instagram user.

28
00:01:38.734 --> 00:01:46.120
I mean, he's very experienced, and he also is obviously an Instagram creator and built an audience of 250,000 people and makes lots of sales.

29
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:46.700
But, anyway,

30
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:48.870
you know,

31
00:01:49.875 --> 00:01:51.575
he has inspired me to

32
00:01:51.875 --> 00:01:55.015
kinda use Instagram for the purpose of finding collaborators,

33
00:01:56.115 --> 00:01:57.975
the purpose of connecting with colleagues

34
00:01:58.450 --> 00:02:02.950
because that's an that's a proven way to grow your following, not just on Instagram, but elsewhere.

35
00:02:03.330 --> 00:02:06.630
Right? Because I might find a colleague who has a bigger Instagram

36
00:02:07.865 --> 00:02:09.165
followership than me,

37
00:02:09.625 --> 00:02:11.005
but they might not have,

38
00:02:12.105 --> 00:02:27.795
a YouTube audience like I I do, or they might not have a Facebook audience like I do, or they might not be as savvy with certain things like I am, and I can benefit them by helping them with that other thing when they can help me with Instagram growth or something like that, like promoting my thing.

39
00:02:27.795 --> 00:02:28.694
So I think

40
00:02:28.995 --> 00:02:30.775
connecting with colleagues is a

41
00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:32.340
bona fide

42
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:33.300
authentically

43
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.060
effective way of

44
00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:40.174
being an Instagram user, but that's a very focused way of doing it. I might do it again.

45
00:02:40.174 --> 00:02:42.114
I might do it something like an hour a week

46
00:02:42.655 --> 00:02:43.394
at the most.

47
00:02:43.694 --> 00:02:50.700
Like, look for colleagues, connect with, you know, see what they're up to, comment on their thing or direct message them, maybe do an Instagram live with them.

48
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:52.939
But I'm not an Instagram user.

49
00:02:54.675 --> 00:02:56.775
So I hope this is I I serve Facebook

50
00:02:57.235 --> 00:03:00.295
more than I serve in way more. I mean, I don't serve Instagram, period.

51
00:03:00.515 --> 00:03:05.950
I serve in case you're curious what I do, I serve Facebook. I surf I surf Twitter.

52
00:03:06.250 --> 00:03:07.709
I surf Reddit sometimes,

53
00:03:08.410 --> 00:03:13.069
and that's about it. And I surf, you know, the whatever Google Google News mentions

54
00:03:13.615 --> 00:03:15.235
on my phone or whatever. So,

55
00:03:15.855 --> 00:03:21.715
yes, you can, like I like I have, built a Instagram following of almost 10,000 people.

56
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.540
I make lots of sales through Instagram.

57
00:03:24.239 --> 00:03:25.860
I promote my things through Instagram.

58
00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:29.360
I have a big following on this I mean, a loyal following on Instagram.

59
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:33.849
I post my things there all the time, but I don't use it. So I hope this is helpful.
