I BLEW UP An Instagram Account As Fast As I Could
Education
Introduction
In this article, I'm going to share my $ 500 Notion content system that has garnered millions of views for free. Typically, systems like these can cost hundreds of dollars, but I'm providing this valuable tool at no charge, having previously sold it to my friend Justin Hoe for $ 500. Using this very system, I scaled my Instagram account from zero to over 100,000 followers in less than a year. Not only will I give you the template, but I'll also reveal the strategy to make the most of it and achieve viral success.
Step 1: Build Your Creator List
The first essential step is to build a list of creators within your niche that you admire and wish to learn from. This process is vital and surprisingly straightforward. For example, if you're in the fitness niche, search for popular creators on Instagram, like Jeff Nippard, and compile their details into your Notion creator list. You need at least five creators to begin. Look for those who consistently produce high engagement content. This list will be your reference point when conducting content research.
Example Creator List
- Creator: Jeff Nippard
- Instagram Link: Jeff Nippard
- Rating: ★★★
- Followers: 2.2 million
I maintain a similar list of industry leaders that I can study to refine my content ideas.
Step 2: Conduct Content Research
With your creator list ready, the next step is conducting content research. From each creator, select 10 ideas—these are links to popular videos. Focus on outliers, meaning videos that performed exceptionally well compared to their averages. By examining their hooks and content structure, you can create your own unique idea inspired by successful formats.
To solidify the research process, look for concepts that resonate with you. You’ll find your original or rephrased ideas can also lead to viral content.
Example Research Process
- Visit Jeff Nippard's Instagram and analyze his top-performing reels.
- Document 10 different engaging video ideas, noting elements like hooks and visuals.
Step 3: Script Your Ideas
The scripting phase is crucial for ensuring your videos hit the mark. Choose five of your documented ideas and start writing scripts. When scripting, always craft a compelling hook that leads to valuable content and a call-to-action (CTA) at the end.
Example Script Structure
Hook: Pose a question that captures interest.
- “Who do you think has bigger calves: those training with full range or just half?"
Value: Share immediate benefits or insights relative to the hook, building excitement towards the climax.
Call to Action: End by inviting viewers to engage with your content.
- “Comment below for my free training program!”
Step 4: Film and Edit Your Videos
Once your scripts are ready, film your content. I recommend using the Notion app to keep your scripts at hand. Record each line, paying close attention to fluidity and delivery. After filming, upload the raw footage to Google Drive, providing access to your editor for seamless collaboration.
Editing Workflow
- Share raw footage with your editor.
- They edit and move the footage to the “to post” category in your Notion system.
- Once complete, schedule your post through Meta Business Suite for automatic publishing.
Step 5: Analyze and Improve
Once your content is live, analyzing its performance will teach you how to improve your future posts. Regularly revisiting your strategies will keep your content fresh and engaging.
