9. Make work your audience would share.
10. AIDA. Grab ATTENTION, Build INTEREST, DELIVER the goods, call to ACTION.

13. Learn hashtags.
14. Write a guest post.
15. Consider shout outs.

Haha. True
You’re right about non-designers adding bells and whistles. My work used to look like a Christmas tree. Thanks for your clear design guidelines for us non-designers. ⭐️
Damn! Ask me the question "What is the best YT channel on this platform?". My answer: " The Futur". I mean, I'm the guy who is just hustling 24 * 7, no matter the bad times and bad people. So, I value my time so much that I just used to watch like one video per week just because whatever was on that platform wasn't as important as my time. But, I should say this, I found your channel in 2020 and its the only channel that always wins the argument "My Time vs YT". I respect and love your channel Chris. The Futur - A channel more important than my time. Means a lot.

Well done Chris, you are really a good person for doing this. Half of the people out there would have kept these locked. We all really appreciate your hard work!

I really recommend the methods Chris Do talks about in the video👆👆, I am also starting on Instagram and I have like 5 posts but the only way I have managed to keep up, is by Engaging with other people content, you have to create content that you are most interest about that is valuable to your audience, having consistency with your content and being PATIENCE with the process
I agree with all these points. Consistency, audience values, patience, resonating content with a clear theme.
Thank you for this Chris. It's important to stay consistent in the niche of topics posted. Inconsistent or random posting gets an inconsistent and random following. My biggest lesson from this.
I think a part of a credit of this video goes to me, as I asked Chris on DM on how to grow? And he was like :- Improve your skill😂 But anyways got the answer, thanks you Chris😇

That’s a good feeling. It’s your body telling you something new is about to happen.
This is very insightful. Consistency is indeed the key. Then comes a bit of luck factor or should I say 'timing' which provokes that viral effect. We all saw the grapefuit skater man who blew up IG for one simple reason: Authenticity.

Hey Chris, is the only thing valuable at the moment on IG education and teaching, I have seen a lot of other videos where you say to use social media to share your story as that’s your brand. What if you’re not in a position to teach but want to create a social media presence. Is this still a relevant way to grow?
Still helpful🔥🔥🔥
Thanks

Hi Chris! Do you think it's a good idea to start posting content based on tips and tricks (teaching) in sense that I use in my photo edits? Since my account is already looking kinda like only images of the edits i made? Can it be helpful to my account? Or I will ruin it That way? My goal is to grow my page followers at the moment

Great video! What would you recommend a rock band or a pianist? They don't want to be teachers, the want to show their music. If their target audience is potential listeners of their music, they don't want to teach them how to play an instrument (I guess). Or whats your view on this?

I’d show off your talent. Maybe do covers with unusual instruments. You could also break down your songs into layers. That is one form of teaching.

Loving relaxt Chris here. One thing, the focus here is really on only the carousel. How does this work for designers mainly working with visuals and not really ''teaching''. Or photographers lets say.

Hi, Chris! Great content. but I assume this is for a text-based account. How do you describe an account with thousands of followers that mostly just photography and illustration in it, and mostly with no carousel?
Do great work. Do it for yourself. IG following isn't necessarily a good end goal. Consistency is key.
