Look at somebody that you like that you think you want to compete against.
Look at the hashtags.
Copy paste and then research each one of those.
Your goal is to be top nine.
Hey everyone welcome back to part four in this four part video series on Instagram.
Now if you haven't watched Sections 1 through 3 you go back and watch those are really good.
But today we get it over we get over? We go over hashtags and recap enjoy the video.
Let's recap guys summarize what you need to do two posts a day so frequency.
Thank you frequency and consistency is key.
I've tested this.
I posted one every three weeks.
I got some followers I posted once a day and I've done as many as five a day.
Guess which one gets me more followers.
There's no mystery.
Believe it or not when you posts when should you post when.
You want to look at your analytics.
And you look at They'll give you a.
Thing it's like Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday.
To give you a load chart like that.
And then I think they tell you the time too.
So my my time is usually around.
7:00 a.
m.
something I got to like 2:00 p.
m.
.
The next thing is you need to engage.
You've got to engage with them.
OK.
And this is really critical.
So I usually reserve about one to two hours.
To respond to every single comment.
And if you've ever followed me Have you ever made a comment either heart or I give you a sarcastic answer.
I harass you.
Well I give you an answer and one of those three things will happen.
Right.
I literally am going through my sense of what you know I'm going to.
Give them answers.
All right.
All right.
So really quick Chris did a bad job explaining the keyboard shortcuts in the iPhone so I'm going to do a quick demo and show you how to do it quickly.
So you're going to go to settings then you're going to go to General.
Then you got to open up keyboard and then you got to go to text replacement and then you get the plus sign and then you can add any phrase you want.
Then you add your hashtags here so I use somethinglike what I use BIZHT1 One because I have many hashtags so I use about 30 hashtags that my friend at Dave he's awesome.
You guys should follow him.
OK.
He does similar things as me teaching people how to grow an Instagram so it gives me about 30 hashtags.
Boom I'm done.
I don't have to think about it.
It's awesome.
OK.
That also is the cap.
You cannot do more than 30 hashtags if you do more than that.
Something funny happens.
So don't do more than 30 hashtags.
OK.
So engage with the audience.
Why shouldyou do this.
Because I want to reward my audience for paying attention.
And after that I don't know if I always respond.
I tried to but I can't always I prioritize those people.
Now here's the next beautiful thing is this is what they call kind of generative.
You guys know that we're generative it's kind of a fancy word.
Right.
Things that generate more things.
Right.
Something like that.
So.
Like generative art.
Like fractals you know you just keep zooming in and just keep making more stuff.
I read the comments and if I keep seeing the same kind of comments and questions That's another carousel.
Right.
I don't have a notebook here but then I just jotted down in my notebook.
OK.
So I'm an analog kind of guy.
In order for me to be able to post five times a day I have a book full of ideas literally in my notebook.
Like if you guys want to pick up an amazing notebook you can or field notes or something like that.
If you look at my notebook it look something like this.
Right.
And it's very small it's like that.
I do I draw a line across a line across I divide half and divided half.
Guess what.
There's my eight frames.
And I jot down ideas.
Sometimes I have the whole idea mapped out.
Sometimes I have fragments.
I need to get them down.
And later on when you see me do my masterclass on this you'll see oh my god that was a note that was a carousel.
Yes.
Sometimes I can get a carousel done 30 minutes.
Because it's already been planned.
I want to do this here.
Right.
Here's another little thing I do.
I leave a little gap between this and my next grid.
And I'll tell you why I messed that up.
That's horrible.
That designer I leave room here so I can write little notes like I'll think about this.
So there's a little room for me to add other ideas without making it all messy.
And when you get super famous and big doing this this becomes a really beautiful artifact that then you share too.
It's so generative.
That's how it works.
And next thing I to say is write something witty if you can if you're witty person.
But personal.
Tell me a story in the caption it's very important.
Let's talk about hashtags or second.
I don't want to get out of my league here.
You're allowed 30 hashtags.
OK.
Somebody told me you've used too many.
It's not good.
So I don't really know what the rule is.
Nobody knows what's going on.
You some.
Not too many but not more and 30.
Now there is a balance here.
OK.
When you search for hashtags you need to have a mix of.
High.
Low.
And medium search traffic.
OK.
Now you want a couple of low ones like you know average search for this yield like one hundred K or less 100 let's say 50 k.
That's not a ton of people looking for that.
That's fine.
And then high is like a million plus.
Right.
It's very hard to compete against those people but it doesn't mean you shouldn't try the ones in the middle.
So you want a mixture of these OK do a couple of low so you become really well known for something and that's good.
Builds traction you're teaching the algorithm and other people we're kind of related.
And if you don't know that the best thing I can give youis a shortcut without any smart fancy tools.
Look at somebody that you like that you think you want to compete against.
Has a good size following.
Look at the hash tags copy paste into like some program and then research each one of those.
Your goal is to be top nine.
You know one time my top nine when you search for hashtags there's a magnifying glass.
You want to be somewhere here.
If you're not there's a good chance that people are not going look for youanywhere in there you're golden.
