SEO TUTORIAL A-Z + SEO FOR WORDPRESS WEPSITE
& MARKETING
What is SEO?
SEO stands for “search engine optimization.” It is the
process of getting traffic from the “free,” “organic,”
“editorial” or “natural” search results on search engines.
All major search engines such
as Google, Bing and Yahoo have primary search results,
where web pages and other content such as videos or local
listings are shown and ranked based on what the search
engine considers most relevant to users.
Every search engine has an algorithm to grab the
information from websites, arrange them. After arranging
they show them to us according to our demands. We are
going to learn the important factors that effect in search
rank. how should we use them in our best interest and grow
our website and business.
Once you understand the rules, you just have to work on it
and you will get the result you want. Even though SEO looks
a bit complicated but you can learn it fast and easy.
SEO include 3 major sections:
• Keyword research
• Build a web page with SEO structures
• Drive traffic to it from different channels
Together we are going to learn and practice all these 3 steps
to master SEO.
Keyword Research
1- Keyword conversion and bounce
Keywords are the queries we search for in search engines
and there are 2 types:
• Broad
• Longtail
Broad keywords are the ones which are 1-2 words and
have a huge search volume. For example “wordpress
template”, “chocolate cake” and “job”. As you can see they
are very broad and many topics can be inside them. Broad
keywords have a huge bounce rate and low conversion
rate which is not good for marketing. Also it is extremely
hard to rank in these type of keywords.
On the other hand we have longtail keywords which they
are more specific and include 3-8 words. To have the same
examples on longtail keywords we can say:
1. WordPress template for online T-shirt store
2. How to make chocolate cake at home
3. I’m looking for a job in New York
As you can see all of the keywords above include several
words and they are specific for a
situation. Longtail keywords have a low bounce rate and a
higher conversion. The main reason is that people find
exactly what they were looking for.
2- Different types of broad and longtail
keywords
We can point out to different type of these keywords which
later help you to find a better choice for your web
page. Broad keywords have only one type which are called
“general“such as “sales”, “best laptop”, “London hotels” and
so on.
But on the other hand longtail keywords have 3 different
types which are “informational“, “transactional” and
“general“. Lets look at some examples:
• Informational: How to sell T-shirt online
• Transactional: Buy a laptop in London
• General: eCommerce wordpress website
Above you can see 3 different examples for longtail
keyword. It is much better to select longtail keywords with
low competition. During the next parts we will elarn more
about competitions. SEO tutorial
3- Create a keyword list
Before working on your web pages it is very important
to search and create a list of potential keywords in your
niche. There are many different tools and places you can
search for a keyword and in this part we are going to use
some of them to create our list.
Wikipedia:
Search for your own niche in wikipedia and there try to pay
attention to the words highlighted. This way you can find
more good ideas connected to your business. For example
we are going to look for “digital marketing“ in wikipedia
and lets see what we will find there. I’m going to write
the highlighted words below as a list:
• display advertising
• search engine optimization
• search engine marketing
• content marketing
• influencer marketing
• content automation
• campaign marketing
• data-driven marketing
• e-commerce marketing
• social media optimization
• …
As you can see we have selected 10 keywords which are
connected to digital marketing. If you have a business in
this niche, with this list you have a pretty good idea on what
topics you can work and create a web page. Also some of
the words above weren’t highlighted in wikipedia, you just
need to pay more attention and read it fast to find suitable
keywords.
As a first step using Wikipedia we have found
several broad keywords and we have to keep going deep
and deep until we get to the right keywords for our web
page.
Ubersuggest:
The next tool we are going to use in our keyword research
process is Ubersuggest. You can write the topic of your
niche as an example here we will search for “digital
Marketing“. Ubbersuggest is going to show us more
information about the keywords which are very useful.
Below you can see the result of our search:
Similarweb
Before we go to the next part, there is another tool I would
like to introduce which is Similarweb. Lets take a look at
our example using similarweb and see what we will learn
more.
MozBar
Another useful tool we can use here is a chrome
extension MozBar. Install and activate it on your browser,
and now when you search for a topic in Google, under each
website you see a new bar. There we can see PA which
stands for page authority and DA which stands for domain
authority.
As you can see we got 60 for our title “The Complete SEO
Tutorial A-Z + SEO For WordPress Website“. This tool is
telling us what type of words to use to improve the rate of
our headline. There are 4 type of words we can use which
are “common“, “uncommon“, “emotional” and “power“.
Below you can see some examples from each type.
These were some examples from each type of words you
need to add in your headline. But to make your work much
easier you can download a complete list of words from all
these types, which make your work much easier. SEO
tutorial
Download the list of useful words for headlines
Aminstitute
The next useful tool we are going to check out in this SEO
tutorial about headline is Aminstitute. It is much harder to
get a high rate in this website, and above 50 usually is a
good headline. let’s check our headline in this tool and see
the result together.
As you can see the result is almost good for our situation.
Our headline here is not just for a web page but we have to
use it as a product in other platform and that is why we
can’t bring the best out of it for every platform.
Now it is your turn, place your headline and select your
category and see how much you rank and how you can
improve your headline.
URL
It is very important to use your keywords in your url but not
the common words. In our example we can have:
seo-tutorial-course-wordpress-website
This will also help to rank higher in google, if you pay
attention when you search for a term in google you can see
the keyword is highlighted in their URL. SEO tutorial
9- Yoast plugin
The next step in our SEO tutorial. One of the great
advantages using wordpress for your website is that you
can use many powerful plugins which make your work
much easier. In this part we are going to use Yoast
plugin to improve the SEO of our web page. Please login to
your wordpress dashboard > go to plugins > add new >
search for Yoast. Install and activate the plugin, then come
to your page and at the bottom of the screen you will see
new options added for SEO. Yoast plugin will help you to
set everything up correctly and also it will give you tips on
how to improve your page.

184. Introduction
Welcome to the next section on Instagram marketing.
This section is one of the most important ones because we are going to
talk about several techniques
several strategies in marketing which you can use for your page.
So here we are in the marketing section of this course and Instagram
marketing strategies.
Now there are several strategies that you are going to use here.
We are going to learn.
I mean I'm going to talk about.
I'm gonna make examples.
I'm gonna try some of these show exactly how you can use how you can
do some of these strategies and
techniques in your own page right.
The first one is hashtag a certain je which obviously you must be familiar
or heard about hashtags.
We are going to we are going very deep in high stakes.
There are several tools that you can use to improve your hashtags to
the quality of the high stakes
that you are using and also some techniques some tweaks in that which
I'm going to show you exactly
how you can do that.
The next one is follow our attention.
If you remember in one of our lectures we had talked to.
I told you to prepare a list A list of the pages that have your potential
followers.
Now here in this marketing strategy we are going to use that list.
The next one is giving credit.
We are going to use one of the tools that we learned during this course.
The next one is shout out.
And the last one is competitions.
Now some of these are strategies is for the beginning of your page
when you just started your page you
don't have a huge number of followers.
And the other than some other of these asserted is for later.
OK I'm going to talk about that.
I'm going to tell you exactly to use which of these authorities is a
strategist at what time.
Right.
So that's all for this introduction.
And on the next lecture we are going to talk about hashtags and learned
couple of tools.
Couple of tips and tricks.
All right.
So that's all.
See you in the next lecture.
185. Pro hashtag
All right.
So high stakes now high stakes are one of the most common and one of
the most important way that you
can improve your page market your page and your posts.
All right.
So for those of you who don't know what is hashtag hashtag is a type of
metadata tag used on social
networks allowing users to apply dynamic user generated tagging that
makes it possible for others to
easily find messages with a specific theme or content.
So we have you can see high stakes in many different social media.
And in each of them works differently.
But on Instagram when you upload a post for example you upload an
image and updates right down hashtag
holiday right.
So people can go in the search section and write down Holliday and
search it as a hashtag and then your
post your image will appear in that search result and people can find
your post people can find your
page and maybe end up following you.
So it is very important to know how you have to use it and what type of
hashtags you must use according
to your niche and your field or according to the type of the posts that you
are uploading and many other
things which we are going to talk about right now.
So if you start a new page or maybe you have your page for some time
but you don't have a huge number
of followers you have to try your best to use as many hashtags as you
can.
Now the limits on Instagram posts right now that I'm recording this video
is 30 hashtags.
So it means that if you write down 31 high stakes Instagram will not let
you to post your image or your
video.
But I strongly suggest you not to use to more than 25 high stakes.
And I tell you why because when you use for example 30 hashtags
Instagram will turn off the promote
button under your posts.
I will show you in a moment because it will consider your post as low
quality content because you has
the maximum limit of high stakes.
So try to use twenty five twenty eight hashtags under your posts but I'm
going to write in this lecture
I'm going to show you a way that you can use a lot more hashtags
almost double.
But keep the content your content quality high.
Right.
So before that I want to show you a couple of tools that you can use to
find the right high stakes for
your page on our lives.
Those high stakes and then save them and use it over and over on your
posts.
Right.
So the first two that I want you to take a look at is a Web site takes four
likes.
You may be you may heard of it before.
Now what did they do.
They have prepared some hashtags.
A group of high stakes for each different for many different fields.
And you can come into their website at the beginning they wrote the
most popular tags and you can come
down and go in one of these and select them and find your best.
High stakes.
Now for example here we are going to foods and here.
Let's talk about coffee.
All right.
So for coffee if you have an image that include a coffee inside it or you
want to talk about that here.
There are 21 tags offered for coffee.
Now there is one thing you should know one thing about these tags that
they are good but there is something
inside them.
So let's go back into my website and here I have prepared the coffee tax
for you.
I just copy and paste them here.
And as you can see here are the tags.
Now there are two tags here that you must remove them.
Those tags are not going to do anything for you.
They're just making ads for these Web site.
So those tags are inside this list.
And one of them is hash tag tags for likes which is the name of this Web
site.
And the other one is tags for likes app.
So you have to remove these or replace them with other tags that you
prefer.
All right.
So this way more or less you can find several high stakes connected to
your post connected to a page
that you can use.
And they are good.
Right.
Now the next tool that I want you to know about is another Web site
name hash tag you fi.
So I will open it here.
You can simply come to my Web site and just click on the links and it will
exactly take you to that
Web site.
Now what does hash tag if I do this Web site we will analyze your tags in
Instagram and Twitter.
OK.
So it will give you some feedback about any tag that you are using.
How popular it is generally or right now.
This week this month and so on.
Right.
So let's go up and select one of these tags.
Let's select for example coffee itself.
Right.
Weed out the hash tag.
Mark.
So I'm gonna paste the coffee and I'm going to click on search and then
it will give me some not some
statistics about this tag that general popularity.
How much is it.
The recent popularity must turned and week trend.
How is it going.
All right.
So this is one of the good things that you can use to analyze.
For example you don't you have two tags but you don't know to use
which one.
Here you can write them both and see how are the numbers as simple
as that and other thing is that maybe
maybe you write 10 hashtags but you have the ability to write 25 but
nothing no good words come to your
mind.
Here it would give you some offers.
For example connected to coffee at Starbucks is one of the most
popular one that the next one is Cafe.
The next one is tea.
So in your hashtag list here we have the cafe.
We don't I don't think that we have the tea or we have this Starbucks.
So maybe if it is connected to your post you can use that too.
You can use it here.
It will give you a list of users that are using these tags recently which
have the huge influence on
people.
The next one is a chart for the tag about the popularity of it.
The next one is also you can compare them compare two takes together
the next one is top languages.
It will tell you in which languages this tag used a lot use more.
And the next one is about the country and more or less.
It will give you some examples and more or less.
That's all.
So the most important part is the numbers at the beginning and the
related high stakes.
You can use these to part a lot.
I know that may be the result that it is showing you is not 100 percent
accurate but it will give you
some idea that as I said you may be stuck between using two different
hash tags but you don't know which
of them is better.
So here you can find that find that out.
So that was all about these two tools.
Now let's go forward to see what else do we have.
Now one important tip that you must know is that I told you when you
start a new page or you don't have
a huge amount of followers.
Use as many hash tags as you can.
But after a time after for example more or less it's just some number that
I saw it a lot after 10k
followers.
Try not to use as many hash tags as possible.
Just keep it between 3 5 or maximum 8 high stakes.
And the reason is because people when they click on your post and they
want to see your post and the
caption when they see that.
All right.
You use the maximum number of hashtags there.
It will not look very good.
It will look like some low quality pages some low quality posts that
people don't like it.
All right.
So this way you can focus on some small number of high stakes and
work on some others marketing strategies.
This is one and the other thing that I want to tell you is that always
always use your brand or your
name as the hash tag inside your posts because after a while your when
you get to other marketing strategies
for example like competitions you can use those high stakes and you
can improve them.
You can ask your followers to use them and so on and so on.
And later in the long run it's going to have a huge effect on your page.
So as I told you the maximum number of high stakes that you can use
are 30 how you can double that number
in the case that I told you not to use more than 25 hashtags under your
post.
How you can use 55 hashtags under your posts.
Now there is a trick that is working right now that I am making this
course but I am not sure when you
are watching it because this shouldn't work but it is working because
Instagram didn't check this.
Maybe later Maybe at the time that you are watching this course.
This course Instagram fixed this and it no longer works.
But right now that I am recording it it works.
And what good it does.
More and more people will see your posts.
Now I'm going to jump into my Instagram and I'm going to try these
techniques that I told you about
and I'm going to show you how you can use 55 hashtags under your
post.
Right.
So I have prepared a post for this lecture and I'm going to use that now
as I told you I create my post
in my computer.
Then I will transfer them to my phone.
So I have prepared them here and for that for what we are going to do I I
will use social media which
name is telegram at the top.
You can use other social media as a messaging social media is like
WhatsApp or maybe the note of your
phone.
I will show you why and how you can use that.
So I'm using telegram for that.
And the good thing about telegram is that on telegram you can have a
chat with yourself which is about
saving some content using using it as an a storage.
So I created my hashtags here as two different packs.
I will tell you why they are in two different packs and also a message a
call to action message that
I will use it under all of my posts.
A call to action which says follow me at priority and give this post alike.
Right.
So you can have your own call to exit.
It is very important to have the call to action because many people
maybe they see your posts but they
eat even it doesn't cross their mind that they can follow you OK.
They know they can follow you but they are thinking about something
else they just see your post they'll
like it.
But when you talk about that.
All right.
When you ask them that hey follow me at this address.
They may do that.
OK.
You are pushing them to ask that.
So always remember to always use call to actions under your posts.
Now this is a post that I'm going to upload right now.
I'm going to save it in my images and I'm going to go back and let's jump
into Instagram.
This is my personal page this jump into my public one and I'm going to
upload it here.
Now this is a post that I want to upload now and right here I'm gonna
jump back into a telegram and
I'm going to click and hold on this post copied to make the work easier
faster for you.
You can use these techniques.
I'm gonna paste it as a caption here and I'm gonna add another an
additional takes about the post itself.
This is the call to action that I copy.
Now I have to write a caption So let's write something for that.
Let's for example
everyone can talk but a small number of pe people
will x.
Execute.
Right.
So this is my
this is my text my caption and I'm going to separate them with a dot.
And right now the caption is ready.
Always remember to tag yourself because people can find you this way
easier.
And if you are if your post is about someone or something you can take
them to.
And also I'm gonna use the location that's where I am.
I'm gonna upload this on Twitter and I'm on my facebook too.
Now we got to the tricky part.
I'm going to paste the one of these one of these group of high stakes as
the comments under my post
and I'm gonna paste the other one as the caption of this post.
So one question why I don't paste it now in the caption.
The reason is because when you post when you write high stakes for
example 30 high stakes as in your
caption then you want to add some more high stakes as the comment
Instagram when you want to comment
it.
Instagram will check if you use hashtags in your caption and if you did it
will not allow you to use
high stakes in the comments.
OK but vice versa Instagram will not check that Instagram want to check
if you uploaded any hashtags
in the comments right.
So stop you from writing hashtags in the caption.
I know it may sound a bit confusing but I'm going to show you right now
so you understand it now before
I share because the time is very important here.
That's why I prepared this group.
You have.
You should do this maximum under 15 seconds.
Because in some of these hashtags there are a lot of posts in every
single minute.
And if you lose the time your posts will go down and you will lose the
chance to attract people.
So I'm gonna copy the first one.
Again I'm gonna jump into my Instagram and I'm going to share it.
Now I have shared the posts then I'm gonna come on my posts.
I'm gonna go into the comments section and uh where is the comments.
Okay now I'm going to post the comments and then again I'm gonna go
back.
I'm gonna click on the three dots at the top of my post I'm gonna click on
edit now I'm going to going
back to my telegram copy the second one.
The second pack and come here and paste it so this way I was able to
upload more or less around three
fifty five hash tags on my post and as you can see the promo button is
still on and Instagram doesn't
consider my pay my post as low quality content.
Now this is a great way to use hashtags under your post especially if
your page is new or you don't
have a huge number of followers right.
So more or less that was all about the haste about this strategy of using
hashtags on your Instagram.
What I want you to do is to right now sit down and try to create those
two packs of high stakes.
You can use your note off your phone or any other messaging
application.
Put your message.
Put your hashtags there and whenever you want to upload and upload a
post just copy and paste them.
It makes your work much easier and faster.
As I told you at the time for pasting the hashtags is very important.
So right now.
Try to find your house tags on tags for likes then come to hashtag ify
analyze them and replay some
of them remove song them and so on and you are.
And you created your two package of high stakes then you are ready to
upload your post and market your
Instagram page so that was all about this lecture and the next lecture we
are going to use.
Follow our attention and you are going to use the least that you have
prepared before.
I hope that you did that because we are going to need it in the next
lecture.
That was all about this lecture and I hope you liked it.
See you in the next month.
186. Follower attention
Welcome to another lecture on Instagram marketing.
During this part we are going to learn another marketing strategy which
is follow our attention.
Before we had talked about finding very your potential customers or
followers hang out and make a list
of those pages that they follow.
And later which is right now we are going to use those pages how we
are going to do that.
Now the people who are following those pages are your potential
followers.
Now what I want you to do is to go to those pages and check if they've
uploaded any posts recently more
or less during the past three four hours maximum.
All right check.
And if you find any posts like that go to the post and click to see the list
of the people who have
liked that post.
Then go through the list.
Take a look at each user one by one and try to find out if they are really
your potential follower.
Now how you can do that.
I'm going to show you in a moment.
So let me active the recording on my phone and right now I'm going to
jump into my Instagram
and I will go to the pages that I follow because I have that list in here.
Now let's go to for example found our magazine.
So I'm going to check their final post to see when they have uploaded
two hours ago.
So now why I told you to check if the post is uploaded recently tops
three to four hours.
The reason is because first these people are active.
There are not some users that they were using Instagram to four months
ago or one year ago.
And also because the post is recent.
If you grab their attention they may respond to you immediately because
they may be on Instagram right
now.
All right.
So I'm going to click on the likes here.
Four thousand forty likes.
I'm going to click on that to see who would like this page to like this post
and I'm going to start
from top and check if this user is my potential follower.
Now you have to check to thing most of these pages.
They are they can be private like this one.
Now first of all take a look at the number of followers and following why
people who have more followers
than if done they follow they are more likely not to come and follow you
because they are walking on
their Instagram and they want to improve and increase the number of
their followers.
Right.
So try to focus focus on pages who have more following than followers.
So for example this one is good.
He has three hundred thirty nine followers and he on the other hand he
has 600 following.
So for now this page is good.
Now take a look at his biography.
Maybe you find something that is connected to finish.
Now the guy has written several things but here I see optimist.
So this guy like the post which is more or less like it quote close to the
things that I applaud so
he may be my potential follower.
Till now it was okay so I'm gonna how I can grab his attention if the point
posts if the page is private
like right now the only thing that I can do is to follow the guy so I will
follow him.
Later he will see my following.
He will jump into my page.
He will check my page and if he liked what I am doing and it is very
important that we have prepared
our page as a professional page.
So when these users come and see they are more likely to follow it.
Now I'm going to go for the next guy.
This guy is not my potential followers because of the number of
followers and following right.
Maybe he follows.
I don't know but the chance is very low.
So are not this guy not this guy or is she OK.
This can be my potential follower.
There is no biography here so I'm going to follow him.
I'm gonna go for next.
No.
I'm going to go for next.
No yes.
And take a look at so this guy may follow me back.
So we will see.
And no next one No.
It was all about foods.
No.
Let's go
so no again no again you can.
Some people just jump into this list and start to follow them all but if they
follow if you for example
follow one hundred people maybe five of them respond you're back
because they are not potentially your
potential follower and later you will have problem to unfollow them on
your page.
And during this process maybe Instagram blocked your page.
It's very hard if they suspend your account.
It's very hard to bring it back.
You have to send message to Instagram team and speak with them give
them reasons so they open your account
back.
So try not to just jump in here and follow everyone and I know it may
take a while but this way will
create loyal followers even.
It will take for example from my page I was the active for more than a
year and yet when I post a lot
of people will respond those all those are loyal followers that I found
them this way.
So it may take you some time but it is one of the greatest strategies that
you can use.
For example this guy is my potential follower but what I'm gonna do
because he's page is public.
I'm going to do something I'm going to take a look at his posts.
I'm going to like some of them I'm going to leave him a comment now.
It's very important if you can find what is important for this guy.
Okay.
If I can find what is important for this guy in these pages in his posts and
I can I leave a comment
on that or like it.
He's more likely to follow me back so I'm gonna click on one of his
videos of himself and I'm gonna
like it and I will read the caption and leave him a comment.
Maybe but because now we are recording and I don't want to take your
guys take your time a lot so we're
not gonna do that.
I'm going to just like one of his other posts and I'm gonna give him a
follow so he will obviously come
back to my page and he will see me.
And if he liked my page he will follow me back.
All right.
Some more or less.
It is like that.
This way you can.
Grab you can find your potential followers and grab their attention and
convince them to come to your
page visit your page and follow your back.
Right.
So now there is an important tip here when you go to these pages Your
foot your potential followers.
If their page is public and you want to like their posts don't do it quickly
okay.
When they come back and see that.
All right.
Someone came to their page and like 10 of their images 10 of their
posts under one minute they know
they will understand that you what you are doing.
They know that this way you are marketing your page so they are more
likely likely not to respond to
what you are doing.
Spend some time there and when you're leaving a comment there is a
good way to increase interaction.
Ask them a question.
If for example you are leaving a comment on a painting.
Ask the guy how long for example it took for you to paint this image to
paint this picture.
Okay.
They will love that and they will notice that you paid attention to these
things.
They will answer you.
And because of the interaction they are more likely to follow to follow
you back.
Right.
So as much as you do this later in the long run you are going to have a
successful page when we get
to other strategies like competition.
You will have better results.
Right.
So more or less that was all about this lecture about the follower
attention and what I want you to
do right now is to go to your page and just a start.
Try this technique.
Okay try it for a couple of days and then see the result for yourself.
See how it will works for you.
Okay so more or less that was all.
And on the next one on the next lecture we are going to talk about giving
credits and other important
strategy.
Also powerful and we will talk about that in the next lecture right.
So that was all and hope to see some.
187. Credit
So giving credit before we had talked about an application named
riposte using that application it will
write the name and the emails of the owner under that post and then
you share it.
You have the potential to grab the attention of the owner's followers and
also the owner page too.
So let me show you how the effect will be.
I will jump into my Instagram and post something from someone else
and then I will show you how it will
appear and how people may see that post and how they can come and
see my page.
So let's jump into Instagram and also from the previous strategy as you
can see the guide that followed
me right now is one of them as one of the people of those potential
followers that be affected we grab
their attention.
This guy also in the middle.
He also was one of those followers.
So as you can see I just tried this technique on I think four or five
people.
And right now two of them responded to me so you can see how
effective this strategy can be.
All right.
So let's go to someone's page.
I'm gonna go into Gary V page and I'm going to find one of his posts and
I'm going to reposted again.
So yeah OK.
This is a post about our topic about marketing in social media.
Stop worrying about how many likes you get which is right.
So I'm gonna copy this post copy the link and I'm gonna jump into repost
and here it is.
I'm gonna click on that and I'm going to make it dark or light and I'm
gonna repost that in my Instagram
so I will select feed I'm going to and I'm going to click next next and here
I will write.
You can write any caption but remember to mention his name.
Okay.
He's right down his user name.
It is very important to do that also in tags.
Tag him.
Gary B.
And done J.
And there s love it.
Turn on Facebook Twitter and so on.
But here I don't want to do that because it's not one of my posts.
I'm just showing you as an example.
So I'm gonna share that and here it is.
Now how we're doing this week giving credit to Gary V I can affect his
followers and also himself because
he's very busy and he has a huge number of followers.
Obviously I can not give up his attention this way but other pages it is
possible.
So here if you click on the last section here it will show the posts that
this guy was tagged in.
All right.
So the final one is mine.
OK.
This is the post that I just reposted and as you can see now some
people they just go to this section
and they want to find other pages that are good and connected to this
topic.
So they just come here and go through all this list and they will click on
some of these posts and they
will click on the page.
They will come to the page and they may follow.
So this way you can influence those type of followers.
All right.
So now my post is here and it will be here for some time and I may
receive some followers from that.
OK so more or less that was all about giving credit to people.
And also when you do this now I did this with Gary V and as I told you I
can not grab his attention
this way because he has a huge number of followers and I'm sure his
Instagram page is very busy but
other pages that count that have for example two thousand ten
thousand maybe one hundred thousand people
I can grab the owners attention this way.
OK.
Maybe someone designed something and uploaded on Instagram and
then I reposted and I said OK.
An amazing design by this guy.
I am giving credit to him and from my paid some people will go to his
page and that's why he will send
me a message or he will leave me a comment and thank me for that.
And this way I will get in touch with that page on there and this way we
can use the next technique
which is shout out right.
So more or less that was all about this lecture and on the next lecture
we are going to talk about the
strategy shout out.
All right.
So that was all.
See you in the next month.
188. Shoutout
So the next strategy on Instagram marketing which is shout outs.
Now what is shout out simply when two pages upload a post from each
other and ask their followers to
follow the other page.
We call that shout outs.
So how you can do that.
One way is when you are in the previous strategy we talked about giving
credit when you give credit
to someone who has a page close to your page they will respond.
They may send you a message to thank you or they may leave a
comment under your post to again thank
you.
This way you will start a conversation with them and you can ask them if
they would like to share a
post to use to use this shout out technique to share one of your posts
and you share one of their posts
and do this to invite your followers to follow each other.
OK this is one way the other way you can simply find some pages.
Similar similar to your page and send messages send direct message to
them and ask them if they are
interested in this.
If they page it is close to your page.
For example if both of you have two thousand followers or ten thousand
or one hundred thousand followers
there are more likely to accept your deal and do it free.
Otherwise if you send a message to a page which has one hundred
thousand followers and your page has
only 5000 followers they may ask for cash or something else.
All right so this way you can get in touch with them.
Don't worry if some people are very are worrying about the other page
said says no.
And that's why they don't use this.
Is this a strategy.
Don't be afraid of that just try it.
It has no harm for you.
All right.
So you send a message.
The guy may say yes or am I saying no.
And from 10 messages maybe one says okay.
And this shout out will bring a lot of followers to your place.
All right.
So it's very simple very easy.
It cost you nothing.
Just couple of minutes and the results will be amazing.
Okay.
You can use this as strategy any time.
If your page is very low on followers or even if you have a couple of
millions followers so you can
use this as strategy is it is very easy.
All right.
So that was all about this a strategy.
And on the next one we are going to talk about competitions which is
very very popular and very useful
when you have a huge number of followers.
189. Contest
All right.
So the next marketing strategy that we are going to talk about is
competition now from all of these
marketing strategies.
I recommend to use this method.
Why you have at least two to three thousand followers less than that.
It's not going to be useful for you and you will not receive any result.
So how you will do that.
It's very easy and sometimes it may cost you something.
But if you do this right.
And later on this course on this Instagram marketing we have a past.
We have a section which we talk how you can convert followers to
customers.
So it may cost you something but later if you do it right you can convert
these followers to customers
and make more money.
I will show you an example of a very successful page that use this
technique a lot.
At the end of this lecture.
So how you will do that you will set a competition you will say that.
All right.
This is the price for this competition for example I am giving it a five
hundred dollar to one of my
followers.
So how you will get into this competition.
First you should follow me.
Second tag five of your friends on the one of my posts and use for
example this specific hashtag.
For example we are 80 competition for example imaginary.
And then through that high stake by Friday I will select a winner and I
will send 500 that dollar to
your PayPal.
So this way you can push people push your followers to tag your tag
their friends.
Now let's say that you have 10000 followers and around 3000 of them
are active.
And from those two thousand one thousand of them will join this
competition.
One thousand of them will do exactly what you ask them to.
So one thousand people take five of their friends this way.
You are grabbing 5000 users attention with only spending five hundred
dollars.
Now you may not spend five hundred dollars.
Your reward must be valuable for your followers.
Otherwise they won't do it.
For example what I do.
I have a lot of marketing and business courses that people valued so I
will announce that.
All right.
I'm giving some courses for free.
If you follow these instructions and this way I will increase my followers
so you can do the same.
Now I'm going to jump into my Instagram and I'm going to show you a
page.
Who did this very successfully.
So here we are in my page.
And let's find
where is he lost
all right here Ty Lopez.
I followed Ty Lopez around two years ago and at that time he had
something around one hundred thousand
one hundred forty thousand followers.
I can't say for sure that around 2.5 million of his followers he use this
strategy to make people follow
him gay.
At that time even I joined some of his competition and yet some of my
friends still they are following
him.
Still they like his posts so you can see how powerful this technique is.
Unfortunately right now he doesn't have any competition so I show it to
you.
He had it a couple of days ago and for example he said I'm giving you a
some amount of cash.
Do these steps and try and I think he said share one of my posts on
your fake Facebook and tag some
of your friends and then send me the screenshot and then I will choose
someone.
The important thing in this method is that the reward that you first of all
focus on the reward.
Make sure that your followers see the reward first.
Otherwise you can not grab their attention.
And after that make sure that your reward is valuable for them.
If your reward is not for example if I come and say All right I'm giving you
a ten dollar who wanted
to do this stuff people won't do it because people won't care about ten
dollar.
But if I say I'm giving you a 1000 dollar or as he did sometimes he was
giving give cars.
And if someone tell you that.
All right.
I'm giving away a car.
If you do this so who won't do it.
If you select a reward with higher value more and more people will jump
into it.
Okay.
And later we are going to talk about how you can convert these
followers into customers.
So you bring them into business into a business and make money from
that.
Right.
So more or less.
That was all about these marketing strategies and on the next chapter.
And the next section we are going to talk about posting time one of the
most important and common questions
that I can say everybody has about Instagram.
Then I have to post how many times a day I have to post I'm going to
show you exactly the real answer.
You will see it for yourself.
You will see the result and you will decide for yourself.
OK so that was all.
And see you in the next lecture.
190. Contest+
All right.
So on the previous lecture you talked about how to create competition
from a marketing perspective and
market our page market our product and so on.
Okay so I told you that you can ask your followers to tie their friends on
their posts and things like
that.
But I have seen another style in this competition which I want to share it
with you.
It may you know you may be able to use this too.
It's the same as strategy.
It's the same competition.
But the thing that you ask your followers to do is different.
And the feedback the result is going to be 10 times 100 times much
more.
Okay.
So here in this way you do not ask your followers to tag their friends on
your post.
Let's make an example let's say that you are a painter and you paint
beautiful images photos and saw.
So what you can do is to ask your followers to share to upload to post
the best photos that they like
the best painting that they like on their own profile and use the specific
hashtag.
Let's say let's for example I'm the painter and my name is PR.
Use the hashtag PR painting.
So the thing that is happening here is that all of the followers of your
followers will see that posts
will see or page will see that.
All right.
David also you can ask them to tag you so others that their followers
can easily access to your page.
This is a great painting.
Who painted it.
All right.
And when I click on this user name here and a lot of their followers will
come to your page and if your
page is good enough for them they will follow you.
They will become your followers.
And if you do this several times over and over on different timing you
can boost your page to a whole
new level to a whole new number of followers.
Number of customers.
OK.
So that was another thing in a competition a strategy that I wanted to
share with you.
And on the next lecture and the next lecture we are going to talk about
getting more likes and comments
and how this thing can help us in marketing strategies.
All right.
So that was all seen the next lecture.
191. More likes & comments
So the next strategy that we are going to talk about in this section is
getting more likes and comments.
So how.
Getting more likes and comments is going to help pause in marketing
strategies.
Now let me jump into my instagram.
I want to show you something.
OK so here I am in my Instagram in one of the pages that I have.
And at the bottom I'm going to click on magnifying glass.
OK.
So here I am as you can see.
Have you ever asked yourself why we see the things that appear here
OK.
Why not.
We see other topics.
Why not.
We see other posts why we see these things that exist right now.
The answer is that first of all that there are different elements.
One of them is that we are going to see the posts that we like ourself.
Okay so if I go and like let's say bodybuilding posts I will see more
bodybuilding posts here.
OK.
If the next one if my friends if my followers if they're people that I follow.
Leave a comment or like other posts.
I will see those posts again here.
OK the next element is that I will see the post some of the posts which
has the same location as I have.
That is why I am telling you that use the location on your post OK.
Because all of these together will create a great marketing strategy
effect for your pace.
So now that we know if we have more likes if we have more comments
our posts can appear here.
So how we can get that how we can get more lives or get more
comments now basically you will receive
some amount.
Right.
That's true.
But I have.
I'm saying this according to my experience according to what I have
seen on Instagram from different
pages in different fields.
So I have seen this a strategy on Instagram that people upload a post
and there on the Post or on the
on their stories.
They asked their followers to leave.
Let's say three comments.
Write down for example this word three times as a comment or 10 times
as a comment.
Okay so you may say all right if we ask this people will not do it.
Followers will not do it.
You are right.
Until you add a river.
So those pages added a river.
That may sound a little stupid.
It may sound a little idiotic but it works it works.
They have added that the reward that they will telling people is that right
down for example this word
10 times in the comments and I will shout out your pate.
OK so if you have let's say 10000 followers 100000 followers without
any guarantee 90 percent of your
followers would love you to shout out them.
OK some of them like me may not like it.
OK.
I'm in that 10 percent.
But anyway this is a revolt.
Now you can think about other type of revolt and tell people all right.
I'm going to give this revolt to the people who write down this word 10
times and then I have seen that
also that on the next stories they would say that.
All right when they want to shout out that user name that person they
would say OK this is their user
name.
This guy this person wrote down for example this walk 10 times and I
shouted out and I shouted this
user name for you guys.
OK.
So as the revised this again I'm telling you this may sound very stupid
but I have seen how crazy it
is working on people.
OK.
I have seen that people increase couple of thousand followers in one to
two days with just using this
system.
Daisy it sounds idiotic.
I am agreeing with.
I agree with you but it works.
So this was another certainty that I wanted to share with you.
If you have any question about it or if you feel that you get it it gets a
little complicated.
Send me a says I can create a new course.
New lectures to explain it more or I will explain it to you in the question
and answer section.
All right.
So that was all.
See you on the next lecture.
192. Get featured
Welcome to another lecture on Instagram marketing.
During this part we are going to talk about another marketing strategies
that will help you to grow
your page.
Call your followers to a whole new level.
So this one is how to get featured on the popular on different popular
pages.
Okay so I have to tell you that there are a lot of pages on Instagram or
on any other platform that
they are looking for content.
They are looking for someone like you that you have created content
and they want to just share that
content with their followers.
So this way you can get featured on some good pages with out with
thousands hundreds thousands millions
of followers.
So how you can do that.
First of all you have to take a look at your topic.
Take a look at your niche OK.
Some topics have this opportunity to find these pages.
But for some other topics you may search but you can not find it.
So I'm going to make couple of examples about what I mean to get
feature.
So the first one the first page that I want to talk about is our shared
shelf.
Now this is a group of people I think it's located in London.
They are trying to increase the rate of reading in people by pushing
them forward by sharing books by
giving books for free and so on and so almost all the contents that you
see here are from their followers
or from their friends.
OK.
I can say almost all of them as far as I see.
So they have almost 300000 followers and they introduce for example
right the next book that we would
like to you to read is for example this one.
OK.
The first book here as you can see what you can do.
Take if you take the book take a photo add their hashtag and send it to
them direct message it to them
and they will upload it gay or you can ask them.
All right.
This is the post connected to your page would can you please share it
with your followers and they will
tag you as you can see all of these posts.
Let me open it all.
You can see this is a repost here.
So others these two hundred thousand followers can easily find this guy
this person who took this photo.
Right.
This way you can get featured in a page like this next one thing first.
So he also do this when he released something in religion book or
something.
He can.
He will.
He may share some posts from his followers.
Right.
So on some pages it is harder but all you have to do is try as I told you
right down upload the posts
right down the high stakes send it to them direct messages ask them I
receive a lot of messages from
people that they just started their Instagram page.
They have.
Let's say for example 10 followers and they they literally they just send
me a message and they ask
me Can you please shout out my page.
What I'm trying to tell you is that these guys are trying so hard to get out
there to find their potential
customers to find their potential followers.
So do not be afraid of sending messages asking people what you want.
Ask them OK.
It's going to help you a lot.
The next one.
Ariana Grande day she did that sometime ago a couple of weeks ago
she released a new music video and
a huge number of her followers created some video some images with
that song with that music music video
style and song and she shared them on her stories.
OK I don't know how many of those stories were there but Aikins as far
as I remember it was songs something
around 40 50 stories from her fans.
Okay so Ariana Grande there has one hundred eighteen million
followers and the people who created videos
and got featured on this page they had a chance to grow their page so
quickly gay if it gets featured
on a Hayes with this number of followers you just jump many steps in
one in a single night.
Right.
So this was the whole concept.
I just wanted to explain it to you and what I wanted to do right now sit
down and think about your business
about your niche and try to just go in Instagram's search and try to find a
page who share some content
from their followers from their fans.
OK.
So you can get feature for example if you have a cute dog and there is a
page that just share cute dogs
you can send the image of your dog to them.
And trust me they would love to share it.
They will thank you for sending because they are looking for content are
looking for people just like
you.
OK.
So this is a great way to get featured to get more followers and grabbing
more attention.
Gay.
So that was all about this lecture.
And see you on the next one.
Assignment: Choose your strategy
15 minutes to complete5 student solutions
Welcome to the next assignment. During this part we try to practice what
we have learned during this section of Instagram marketing.
1
193. Warning
Welcome to the next section where we are going to talk about Instagram
marketing automation.
Now before we go deep into this my Instagram automation tool before I
tell you what you can do with
it and what it can achieve.
Here let me give you an advantage now using an automation tool on
Instagram nowadays Instagram is acting
very harsh and they are very cautious about using.
They will pay attention on using an automation tool.
So you may get caught and you may get banned for some time.
We use it a short time maybe for example a couple couple of hours or
maximum couple of days.
But if you get into such situation my suggestion to you is to stop using
that tool.
OK.
But also there is the possibility of using this tool and not get any Vining
from Instagram usually Instagram
before they want to ban you.
They will give you a warning that hey it seems that you are using an
automation tool change your password
right now.
So the automation tool cannot use your Instagram account and if you
use it again we will ban you.
Usually they warn you before they ban your account.
OK so this is a warning if you don't want to use automation to skip this
section.
But there are a lot of pretty amazing stuff inside this section that can
help you grow your business
in a short time maybe you can use this tool for some time and let it go.
Or maybe you can keep using this tool until you receive a warning
maybe a couple of months maybe even
more than a year.
Hey I have been using this tool for a long time.
Sometimes I received some warnings and I stopped using it.
And then again I started but I cannot say for sure that this using any
automation tool for Instagram
is safe because nowadays the system changed right before a couple of
years ago it was pretty easy.
Instagram wouldn't even pay attention to this.
Right.
So what we have here in this section here we are in the Instagram
automation now the tool has a lot
of us staff.
We are going to learn how to create an account on this tool.
First of all this tool is not mine.
Some of you will make this judgment that all right.
This is tool.
This is not mine.
I'm just introducing it because I have been using it and I received good
feedback from it.
And the result was good.
So I'm sharing it with you as a suggestion.
We will learn how to share job posts and stories how to create a caption
template the mass looking booster
which inside booster.
We have auto like auto follow on on auto on follow auto comment auto
reports auto direct message how
to create a bio link page with different links inside it and getting a proxy.
And another thing they tell you if you get a good proxy for your
automation tool it will work much better.
And Instagram usually can recognize you.
Right.
So here is the website my business automation and here.
First of all you are going to have seven days free trade.
You can test the app if you like it.
You can join the program.
If not you can let it go right.
So here it is and how it looks.
This is the first part and the place that you can schedule posts you can
schedule the stories.
If you don't want to use the automation tool part you can use the
scheduling part.
It is working very good as well.
We can have caption templates to create different kind of captions.
So any time that you want to use them just select one of them.
Then we have two reports today masses their support and the boost and
also most looking where we are
going to talk more about them inside the upcoming lecture.
So if you're ready to learn more about this automation tool let's jump into
our first lecture on this
path.
194. Create account
So the very first step we have to take here is to create our account on
this Web site.
Don't worry.
Creating account is completely free.
You can use this for a week.
And if you like the result you're receiving.
You enjoy the result.
You can change your plan.
All right.
So to create your account go to Pier 80 dot com slash auto IAG.
OK.
From there you will be directed to a page like this as you see here.
Right.
Write down your first name your last name your e-mail your password
confirm your passport.
And this is very important.
Select your time zone why it is very important because later we are
going to schedule posts and set
up some sleep time.
There are a lot of good features there.
If you select the wrong time zone some of these will work what not at the
time you expect.
OK.
So select the right time zone.
So when you're done filling this form click on get started.
And then when you go to the next page as you can see on the left side
we have our main menu.
And don't worry we will learn and practice every single thing that exists
on this platform.
Right.
So right now if you already positive video go to the address that I told
you.
Create your account and see you on the next path.
195. Import IG account
All right.
So now that we signed up on this Web site the next step is to import our
Instagram account here.
So first of all pay attention to the menu on the left side of the screen.
So you we have we can do everything here using this menu and step by
step.
We will go through all of them.
We talk about them.
We learn exactly how to use them.
And we are going to test them to get there.
So for now all you have to do is to come on the item on the fourth item
on the menu here with Instagram
logo which is 10 accounts.
So click on that.
So it will jump to a page where you can add your Instagram account.
And as you can see I already have two of my icons already here.
So for you at the top left side there will be a button add new account or
also because you don't have
any account added at the middle of the screen you will see add new
account button there too.
So you can click on that or the one on the left saw on the top left side to
add your Instagram account
here.
So click on that.
And on the next page you have to write down your Instagram user name
and your Instagram password.
And don't worry it's completely safe.
So when you feel these two out the third one is about privacy.
And as you can see it is optional.
It's this part the proxy part is very important but we are not going to talk
about it right now because
for now we just try to learn more about this great platform and
understand how we can use it board proxy.
We are going to have a very important talk at the end.
All right.
So do not miss that part because it's really important for you to use this
platform in a better way.
All right.
So for now just import.
Just write down your username and password and click on Add account
and what you will see.
You will see your account added here.
Now same as Instagram when you want to edit something here some
element here in this Web site.
The more mostly in most places you will see these two dots there.
So you can click on them.
You can edit them.
For example let's say later in future you decide to change your
Instagram password.
And if you do that this website will not have the ability to access your
icon.
So you cannot use any of the features here and it will just give errors for
that you have to come back
here click on edit and write down your new passport and save it again.
Right.
Or if for any reason you want to delete your icons.
You can delete it from here.
So that was all you needed to do to import your Instagram icon.
But before we go for the next step on the menu let's talk about your
profile.
An important thing here.
Time Zone.
So at the right top right side you see an arrow here.
Click on it and you will have profile and logout so click on profile here.
You will have some information about your profile.
Your first name last name language.
And times on and some other stuff here.
So the important thing here which you need to check out is your
timezone because if your timezone is
not right when you want to schedule a post it will not go.
It will not post them at the right time at the time that you want it to
happen.
So first of all check the time don't be sure that it is right.
According to the place that you are for any reason if you want to change
your password you can do the
change the password here.
You can change the dates format time format if you would like to see it
p.m. a.m. or 24 hours you can
do it here and you have some other information about your account here
too.
All right.
So now we get to the interesting part and it is our first item on the menu
at post.
196. Login issue
Before we go to the next part I just wanted to add something here.
Some of the students had some problems connecting their Instagram
account to this Web site.
And the reason is that because when you are using this Web site to log
into your Instagram account you
will be logged into her Instagram account from either France or United
States.
And this may cause some problem.
Instagram will suspect that it is not.
It maybe it is not you because the IP address is different.
For example you are living let's say in Australia and then suddenly your
log into your Instagram account
from France.
Right.
So Instagram will notify you on your phone and ask you to verify that this
person who lied into your
Instagram account for example from France or from United States.
It is you.
Right.
And sometimes in some countries even if you verified that it was you
that you tried to log into your
Instagram account for example from France maybe it won't work for you.
So how you can fix it.
There are several ways.
One of them is to for example go to Instagram dot com.
Log into your account.
Go to the settings and the active your Instagram account for twelve
hours.
Then instead of going to your phone and like into Instagram account.
Again don't do that.
Go to this Web site like in from log into your Instagram account from the
website.
And after that you can go to your phone and log into your Instagram
account from your phone too.
This way you can solve this problem and use your Instagram account on
both your phone and on this Web
site.
And if a silly didn't work for you on the next article I will put a link.
It's a support link.
You can go there.
You can contact the support and they will help you to fix this problem.
Also I will put another link.
It's about an article that explain all the ways that you can fix this problem
on your own.
Right.
So you can use these links to fix it.
And that was all.
So let's go for the next picture.
197. Post & stories
All right.
So here we are on our first section on the menu at post.
So as you can see at the top we have three tabs.
The first one is at post at the story and at all.
So we will get to each of them.
But to explain it generally the first one is at post as and as you can see
it.
The second one is will give you this ability to add stories or schedule
them.
And the third one at all boom is adding carousel style posts like for
example you can add several images
several images with several videos.
You have you must have seen it on Instagram.
All right.
So let's go to the first stab at Post and here under them.
We have three other columns.
So the first one is media in media you will have your posts.
You will have your images your videos to parent here.
You can upload them.
You can store them here.
You can keep them as long as you want.
And there is no limit for that right now.
Later it may change but for now you don't have any limit here.
Right.
You can upload all of the photos all of the videos that you want to upload
on your Instagram here and
keep them here.
So for that you have two ways when you hover your mouse here you will
have the ability to upload them
from your P.C. or use a you are.
I will test them both right now and show.
Show it to how it would work.
So click on your P.C..
This icon here and select the image that you want to upload image or
video.
So as you can see it appeared here.
If you hover your most on your file at the top left side you see two dots.
You can click on.
You can view your post your image or your video or you can delete
them.
So how you can upload a post from a link for example there are a lot of
websites out there that have
a lot of materials a lot of good images and good videos that you may
want to use them.
And one of them for example is on the splash dot com.
So when you come to the splash dot com you have the ability to search
for images and you can use the
link to directly upload them with high quality on your from here to your
Instagram account.
So for example let's select a topic let's select.
Let's like cake and here let's find a good image for our Instagram
account to test it.
All right.
This one looks nice.
We can use these.
Use this image for us for a story.
Right.
So I'm going to open it in a new tab here and here you can right click on
your image and the first one
is is it an open image in a new tap.
So when you do that it will just open the image and the link here is the
link that you want to imported
into your media part here and from here posted on your Instagram.
So click on your URL and paste the link press enter.
And here is the image.
So how you can upload a post from here.
So we go to the second column here which as you can see it is at and
new post and at the top.
If you have for example like me if you have several Instagram I
connected to this to your Web site icons
you can select which account which Instagram account you want to post
on.
So I'm going to select for example this one the second one and you
have two ways to add your image here.
Either you come here and at the bottom left side you see a checkmark if
you check it it will be added
here.
Also you can drag and drop the image here and on the third column as
you can see it will show us the
preview Hall our post will look like now there are a couple of interesting
here.
Very useful in marketing very helpful.
And I haven't seen for example first comment in any other platform at all.
And it is absolutely genius to use it this way here especially when you
can use it to catch you on your
post.
I will show you in a moment.
So the first type here is caption so same way that you write your caption
on your Instagram account
you can write anything here.
So for example this is a test caption All right in front of it you see
anymore.
You click on it if you click on it.
You have the ability to select any emoji that you would like.
Also there is another icon here which if you pay attention we have the
same icon whose name is caption
on the left side on our on our menu.
I'm going to explain it in a moment but right now let's just focus on
uploading a simple post right.
So I have written my caption and first comment.
So let's click on it.
And right now I'm going to tell you why it is useful and important to have
this feature here how you
can use.
So sometimes you do not want to add a lot of hash tags inside your
caption.
It doesn't look nice.
Your followers may not like it.
For example you open the post as a follower and you see for example
one or two line as a caption then
under it.
You see 25 30 hashtags.
It looks annoying.
Right here you have the ability to add those hashtags as a first comment
under your post.
This is genius.
Trust me.
So you come here and for example this post is about building a brand a
story book by Donald Miller.
If I'm not mistaken.
Right.
So I'm going to add a couple of hashtags as a first comment to this post.
BRAND For example hashtag story and it can be anything else too.
So just for testing I added these two hashtags and then we have a
schedule which we are going to talk
about it on the next section which is about just scheduling posts and
stories.
But right now let's just focus on posting our image under it you will see
an ad that's setting.
If you click on that you can add a location for example Los Angeles it will
search for it
all right.
So.
And also you have another option auto remove media.
So sometimes you solve your post.
You don't need them anymore and you just want to upload them for one
time.
But some of your e-mails as some of your videos for example you
upload them this month and maybe after
one or two months you want to upload them again.
So to to be able to manage that much better.
You can keep your post here on the media section.
But for those are those those images and videos that you don't need
them you can come here.
Check this out.
Auto remove media and it will remove the media remove the image
remove the video from your media section
automatically after it posts.
Right.
So I'm not going to check that right now.
But right now if I click on post now it will post this image into my
Instagram account.
So this is my Instagram here.
Let me refresh that.
So we don't have anything here.
And let me click on post now.
All right Post publish successfully.
And if I come here I must see the post right now.
So I'm going to refresh the page.
And as you can see there it is.
And if you pay attention there is there is a comment here.
And as you can see it is me and we have our to test high stack here.
All right.
So let's try a story.
So click on Add a story here and let's take out the image that we put
here and put this one.
So for stories you can not add any caption.
That's what it is.
You see it's gray and it is liked.
I can not write anything here.
So because we cannot add any caption or any comment to a stories you
can schedule it we are going to
try that later.
You can add location to it.
You can remove it the same way as it was on adding your post.
So if I press post Now I must be able to see this story on my Instagram
account.
So I'm going to click on post now.
All right post published successful.
So let's take a look at it.
So if I refresh this page I also remove this post.
So as you can see I have an a story here.
If I click on it there it is 13 seconds ago and it was completely
successful.
So the next part we are going to talk.
And also adding all Wong as chorizo.
It's the same way you can mark your can check your media is that you
want it to be on that post here
and then write your caption write your first comment and post them right.
It's the same way on the next part.
We are going to learn and practice how to use a calendar and how to
schedule posts or stories here.
198. Schedule & calendar
So how to schedule a post or a story.
Actually it's very simple.
Let's go through it together.
So here we are in at post section.
Same as before.
You can do everything that we did in the previous part but there is a
small change here.
So let's do it again to practice and show how we can do how you can
schedule a post.
So I'm gonna drag and drop this post here and test number two
also let's add a comment Rand for example and everything is the same
one thing.
Be careful when you want to upload a post sometimes.
I made this mistake that because I have a couple of Instagram icons
here.
I make a mistake sometimes I schedule them on the other icons.
So be sure to check your account Instagram icon before you upload any
post or your schedule any post.
Right.
So here just marked a schedule and under it you will have.
You will have the ability to set up a date and a time.
So click on that and you can select a date for that.
Also here at the bottom we have our time.
The first number the first bar is the hours and the second one is the
minutes.
So right now it's 7 forty p.m. So let's set up
set a schedule this post for seven forty two and more or less.
That's all.
Click on the schedule the post post has been a schedule to this date.
So on the second section here.
Second element on our menu calendar click there.
And as you can see here we have we have two.
This is here Fourth of July right now.
And here we have three POS published and one post a schedule.
So if I click there this is the post that we just prepared it together right
now.
Test 2.
As you can see everything is dry and in one minute it's was uploaded on
my Instagram account.
So let's go to my Instagram account and see that the post is not there
and in a minute it must appear
here.
Right.
Until we get to 742 let me show you another thing you can schedule
posts from another way you can come
to calendar and let's say for example at the end of the Week on Sunday
as of July you want to schedule
a post you come here and click on Add post and it will set up to date for
the time that you select it.
So you can either come to add post in the schedule the post or go
through it from the calendar.
All right.
So it is for 72 our post must be published right now.
All right.
As you can see here we have nothing is scheduled and for Post
published click there and there it is
test 2.
This is our post.
So if I come to Instagram and refresh the page the post must be here.
And there it is.
As you can see it is uploaded.
It has one comment our test hashtag comment and that was all.
And it's exactly the same way for stories and castle style.
On the next part we are going to talk about an element which make our
war much much easier.
1
227. How to buy or sell your page
All right.
So a very common question that I receive a lot from my students is that
how we can buy a page or if
we have a successful page how we can sell it.
So in this lecture we are going to take a look at a website that is a
market exactly for this topic.
So if the name of this website as you can see here at the top is fame
threw up dot.com fame throw up
dot com.
All right.
So when you come here you see their home page is like this that they
show different pages and with some
small information about each of them.
For example how many followers they have and how much is the price.
OK.
So while you may need to buy a page to start a new page and do the
marketing from scratch is a hard
job and it takes some time for you to get to a good level.
All right.
You may have a budget you may know what type of page you have to
buy and you want to skip some time
that's OK.
If you can find a good page if the topic is connected to your business
and things like that that we
are going to talk about right now.
So but if you don't have the budget if you want to work from the
beginning if you want to work on your
page from scratch I suggest you not to go after this kind of Web site.
This is one example of them.
I'm sure there are other markets out there.
So what you should pay attention if you want to buy.
If you look at a year there are two pages.
One of them is this one right here which has one million followers but it
has a price is 50 50 thousand
dollars.
And there is another one right here.
One point eight million by thirty five thousand followers with thirty five
thousand dollars.
So let's open them both and take a look at why the prices of these two
pages are different even though
that one of them has more followers.
It is cheaper.
So this is the one that has more followers.
One point eight million but it is cheaper.
Why is that.
If you come down at the bottom of the page here you will see some
small information about the page that
how many posts they have right now.
How much is the average like per post average common per post
average view per video and how many percent
do they have engagements on their page.
According to this information you can understand that if this page is
good or bad.
First of all you should pay attention to the topic off the page for example.
This is as it is isn't is Bieber.
I think it's is about as there is the image.
I think it is about Justin Bieber and stuff like that.
It is written here.
It's a fan base about Justin Bieber.
So for business I am not sure that a fan page of Justin Bieber is going to
help any of you.
But anyway you should pay.
This is one of the things that you should pay attention.
The other thing that I want to pay uh to point out is that the number of
likes according to the number
of followers so they have one point eight million followers.
But the number of likes is thirty thousand.
Generally it should be more for a business page for a page that is is
about a company or about some
product that we are focusing on mostly.
It should be more at least at least it should be double this number okay.
It should be sixty thousand not thirty thousand.
So let's take a look at the other account that it was more expensive but it
had less followers.
So 1 million followers fifty thousand dollar and I'm not sure it is what I
focus on college.
Okay so the topic is about college.
If you have a business that is connected for example to a college.
This may be useful.
They have two thousand posts and as you can see even though that
they had eight hundred thousand less
followers they like their likes per post.
E to three thousand more than the other page.
Okay so also the engagement is 3 percent.
The other one is 2 percent.
So generally these are the things that you should pay attention.
If you want to buy or even if you want to sell or when you want to put a
price on your page you should
put something that be reasonable.
If you on.
If you really want to sell.
This is one way the other way is that for example according to a
business.
Let's say you want.
You have a restaurant and you want to start an Instagram page.
Okay.
And you don't want to start from beginning.
You want to start.
Let's say from a page with with an average fifty thousand one hundred
thousand.
Another thing that you should pay attention is the location of those
followers.
If the location of those follower.
Let's say if your business is located in London.
But the majority of their followers is from let's say India.
It's not gonna work for you right.
Or vice versa.
This is the other thing that you should patent but generally the other way
that you can buy a page is
to find let's say 20 30 40 50 pages that you would like to buy.
Just gather them around in a list and send a direct message to the
owner and say hey I am interested
to buy your page if you are interested to just give me a number and let's
discuss about it.
Most often want to answer you some of them will answer some of them
will say no solved I would say yes.
And for those that who say yes you can start some negotiation and
come to a good reasonable price for
both of you and buy that page right.
So more or less that was all about buying or selling an Instagram page.
If you are interested and is reason that I put this lecture here is that I
was receiving this question
a lot from some students and I wanted to point out right.
So that was all.
And on the next lecture we are going to talk about how we can convert
our followers into customers.
So see you on the next lecture.
228. What you will learn
All right.
So welcome to another lecture on Instagram marketing during this part.
We are going to talk about something important something useful that
will help you to grab more attention
to attract more followers attract more audience more customers to our
your business.
I have received this message from most of my students that they are
struggling with how they can create
a post an image a video that can go viral like how we can do that.
And during this section we are going to focus on this topic specifically.
All right so what do I mean if you pay attention to the title is copywriting
in Instagram.
So what do I mean by that.
Okay.
It's not only about Instagram because you can apply this on any other
social media but because we are
in Instagram I just selected this title for it Kate.
So what do I mean by copywriting on Instagram.
So let let me give you a background about first of all what is copywriting
if you don't know copywriting
is a skill of writing a text with a title that can convince people to do
something.
Okay.
So you can use copywriting in email marketing writing an email with a
good subject with a good title
with a good text that then your follower than the people then your
subscribers receive your email.
First of all the title grab their attention and then they go in and they read
your text and they become
they get convinced and they will do whatever you want from whatever I
mean.
For example you may want them to buy your product or jump into your
webinar et cetera et cetera.
OK.
So copywriting mostly these days are used.
It has a lot of uses but mostly these days on digital marketing it is used
on email marketing and blogging.
All right.
So but where can we use it in Instagram in the social media like
Instagram.
OK.
During this part we will learn how we can create our post that grab more
attention.
Let's say you have a video but we want it to have a thumbnail have an
image that attract a lot of people
to it.
Okay I will.
Specifically I would give you some specific steps how you can do that
some exact rules that how to create
something like that.
So this was the introduction and on the next lecture we are going to
learn three marketing cognitive
bias which we will need in this section right.
So that was all.
And see you on the next one.
229. Scarcity, reward & curiosity tendency
All right.
So welcome to the next lecture.
So during this part during this lecture we are going to talk about tree
marketing cognitive biases.
So before and during this course I have pointed one of them.
I have talked about one of these cognitive biases which it was revived.
I have talked about it in the first the very first section how we can create
a professional profile
in the biography section.
We talked about what is required.
So we said river art is something that your our customer the people who
are looking after our product
value it the most.
Okay.
So it can be anything.
It can be a discount.
It can be a free give away some bonuses some let's say free delivery
some information.
Anything can be revoked.
All right.
So one of the things that this is one of the cognitive biases that I want
you to have it in your mind
please if you can just being a piece of paper and a pen and write these
cognitive biases down because
when we go deep inside it you may forget it.
You may mix them up.
So this way everything will be clear in your mind.
Okay.
So the first one is reverse.
Write it down.
OK so the next one.
These biases these cognitive biases are very complicated and you can
go very deep in them and use them
in different type different size which if you really want to learn them you
have to jump into my other
course marketing principles.
Twenty one marketing principles just go into the search bar and write
down twenty one marketing principles
and you will see a course with my own faith there there.
I have explained each of these very complete v tons of examples of K
practices cetera et cetera.
So these cognitive biases are some techniques that help us to grab
more attention and convince our customer.
So let's go for the second one.
The second cognitive bias is a scarcity a scarcity is Van that there is a
pressure on customer pressure
from time perspective or quantity perspective.
So what do I mean by that.
I'm sure you have seen this a lot in websites like Amazon that you go
there and you are looking at a
product you like kids you want to buy it but you're not sure.
But there you will see in the red color they wrote that only two left only
ten left.
Okay.
This is quantity scarcity.
Okay.
So you when you see this what you will do what you will think what will
happen in your brain.
Oh it's gonna finish soon it's gonna end and before I wasn't sure to that I
want to buy it or not but
now that I know that it's going to finish I want it more so generally by
default our brain wants those
things more that we can't have access.
So if we know that something is going to end we start to want it more.
This was quantity of scarcity.
The next one is time scarcity.
Now you have seen this again a lot that you want to buy a product.
There is a discount let's say if the product is one hundred dollar there is
a discount.
The product is 40 dollar right now but this discount doesn't last forever.
Right.
It will end one hour later.
Okay.
When you see something like this at this discount is going to end one
hour later.
And what should I do after that I have to pay two times more I have to
pay one hundred dollar so you
will push yourself to buy the product with a discount at that time before
your time.
Before that one hour is finished.
This is time a scarcity.
Okay I will.
If you are feeling confused Don't worry I will should show you some
examples right now here and also
on the next lecture we are going to practice them.
OK so don't worry.
Next one which is the last one which we are talking about here is cross
city tendency curiosity tendency
is a way that we create question in our customer or our audience mind.
Okay we have to do things we have to show them things.
We have to use words or sentences that create question in their mind
okay.
If I want to make a good example on this one is if you pay attention to
the best movies of all time
to the best series of all time if you pay attention the ones that are very
good are those ones that
they have created questions.
Very very good.
Okay.
For example on Game of Thrones there are tons of questions questions
just come in your head over and
over and you are thirsty to find the answers.
Even if the answers are as stupid or has no value any way you want to
find the answers and what they
do they put answers in the last the very end of whatever day they are
making.
If it is a product if it is an ad if it is a movie or TV series I hate to put it at
the last.
So for you to find the answer you have to go to the end.
I remember a couple of years back I read the book Alchemist by Paulo
kilo and I have heard about that
book a lot since I was a child.
Okay.
I was very curious to find out what's inside that book that everybody
read it.
Okay so what they did I ordered the book and I started I owe about it.
The audio version I started listening to it now.
The book has had a great story and during that book it was creating very
very good and powerful question
in your brain.
Okay and you would.
I only listened to that audiobook to find the answers.
I didn't care about what I was learning or I wasn't learning.
I didn't care that if the book was good or bad I was just looking for a way
to find the answer.
And finally at the end and at the very last chapter I found the answer
and I was disappointed.
All was what he was saying was this I knew this point okay so I was a
little mad.
If I want to be honest.
But anyway the point wasn't this.
The point was the writer used the questions very well so let's come here.
This is my.
The emails some of the emails that I have sent to my students.
So what I want you to do is to pay attention to the titles to the titles that I
use.
Our goal here is to create posts on Instagram that create question in the
customers in the audience's
mind.
Okay so I want to show you these titles to practice these three cognitive
biases and on the next lecture
we will jump on visual things like photos videos things that will create
that curiosity is scarcity
or revived bias in our customers mind.
So pay attention to the first one.
Oh my God.
Thank you.
In parentheses are you on the list.
So first of all when someone tell you Oh my God thank you.
The first thing that you will think with yourself is what what is he talking
about.
Why is he.
Why is this so why is thanking me.
What have I done.
Okay so you get curious.
What have I done that he's thanking me right.
First of all you get.
Get a good feeling that all right.
Someone's thanking me.
But why is he thanking me.
This is a question.
So the first part.
Oh my God.
Thank you.
Is creating curiosity tendency in our customers in the audience's mind.
Next one.
Are you on the list again.
Another question.
What list is he talking about and is it good to be on that list or is it bad to
be on that list.
Okay so questions questions.
They're just coming to the customer's mind and there is the result will be
that 10 percent opened that
email right next one again.
I have used this as strategy because it is working as you can see almost
all the time.
It is 10 percent.
So
let's come for this one tree rule to persuade people in princesses plus a
gift at the end.
OK so tree rule to personal aid people.
It is creating cross city.
What tree rules are you talking about.
Do I know those two rules or not.
You see these are chain of questions that will appear in our mind with a
trigger with just seeing couple
of laws here.
Now the next part a gift at the end.
What.
First of all it crosses the tendency.
What is the gift.
Second it creates a river.
So if I read this e-mail if I open this e-mail I will see a gift at the end.
OK so this was another one.
Next you have to read this in practices one day left.
So why is he telling me that I have to read this.
You see these things may sound idiotic these you when you look at
them and you don't know what are the
techniques here.
You may say oh I can do that too.
This is obvious.
Everyone can do that too.
But and also you may feel that this is a stupid to write down you have to
read this who writes the title.
In an email that you have to read this.
Is it working given.
But look at the numbers 14 percent even more than these.
Well it's more than this.
Not only because you have to read this but because the scarcity that we
have here as I told you time
limits OK the time is finishing one day left.
So you have to know what it is you have to find out if it is a good thing
you have to grab it before
it ends.
OK so it will push people to click on it.
Jump in and click on whatever it is.
So again it ends tonight Only four left.
So there is two type of scarcity here.
It ends tonight time is scarcity only for left quantity of scarcity.
So whatever it is it is finishing it is is going to end soon.
So I have to click on it.
I have to see what it is and how many left.
And before it's finished I grab them.
Okay.
So more or less you understood.
What do we mean by saying reward bias curiosity tendency and scarcity.
We have seen some samples here not what we are going to do on the
next lecture we are going to jump
in to YouTube.
We are going to jump into Instagram and try to transform whatever we
have talked about here into visual
things.
How we can create scarcity or how we can create curiosity we just
seeing an image and how others are
doing it.
Right.
So more or less that was all.
If you have any question don't forget to ask me and see you on the next
lecture.
230. Viral posts in practice
All right.
So welcome to another lecture on Instagram marketing.
So be on the previous lecture you're talking about two cognitive biases
how we can create copywriting
effect on e-mail and how and on this lecture you are going to understand
how we can create a copywriting
in visual.
OK.
So before we jump into Instagram let's first take a look at YouTube and
see what we have here and try
to practice this more on YouTube.
So here we are in unboxing Torabi page with 10 million subscriber.
So let's come down and see what's going on here.
All right let's look at this image OK.
He is holding something that it looks a little strange.
What is this with question marks on it.
Okay.
So immediately when you say I'm not saying that these are the best
what you are practicing when you
see this image immediately in your mind this will appear that Oh what is
this product.
OK.
Especially if when he added a question mark it would create that
question mark.
It was like when you are here in our title we were asking questions OK.
This was helping.
This was helping customers to create that course.
So again here on his on one of his hands as money cash and the other
one is a phone.
And look at the title.
Look at the name of this video the title of this video should you buy the
Samsung Galaxy S nine OK.
It is asking you the question.
So if you're a person who think about buying in a smartphone or buying
or even galaxy so you will click
on this video and you will take a look because it is interesting for you
right.
It was.
It is creating question for you.
So look at this one.
What is this glove that he is wearing.
OK.
This one or what did he set on fire.
So all of these images if you pay attention they are creating questions.
OK as you can see the ones that are more successful.
Okay.
Okay.
Let's compare these two.
There are many reasons but one of them is creating the question
creating curiosity tendency.
So this one that is he is showing your laptop in his hand and with Trick
question Mark you see it has
almost 5 million views k 9 months ago.
This one was one year ago.
You see the image.
OK.
What is he wearing.
But it's not so powerful.
I don't understand generally what it is.
OK.
This one we understand there is a laptop but we get a little curious
about it.
And one point six million.
OK let's come down to see if we find something interesting.
As you can see this guy review products and all of the all whatever he is
reviewing he he will surely
create a thumbnail that make it look more interesting make it look like he
tries to create some questions
in our head.
OK.
This one for example he looks disappointed.
He's holding a phone and there is an arrow pointing at.
So what is he sad about.
Why is he disappointed.
OK switch to switch to the iPhone seven plus three dots in front of it.
Okay.
So you when you see something like this and you read this you will feel
that or do.
There is something bad about iPhone 7 and I must wonder I know I
must know it.
Okay I have to know if you especially if you want to buy an iPhone if you
are a person who are interested
in this kind of stuff.
Okay.
Let's go for the next one.
This is another guy you may know him.
He has six million subscribers on YouTube.
And as you can see this guy is the same.
He is trying to use he do some other stuff but more or less there are
clothes.
He also review gadgets like electronic things or stuff too.
But as you can see he's using Question Mark a lot.
He is using a question mark on Tesla OK so more as I told you I'm not
saying that these are all good
very good for in creating cross city or reviled or scarcity.
But we can't see as we can see curiosity tendency in these videos.
All right.
Let's go for the next one.
Even this guy you may know him with one point three million subscriber
when we come down.
Look at this image.
OK.
Now this is very much copyrighting.
OK Vanessa copywriting I mean writing something writing a title with a
body that attracts like jobs
10 rules.
All right.
So when you see something like this First of all you get curious what are
the jobs.
Steve Jobs 10 rules.
If you are a person that you are working so hard you want to become
successful you have dreams you want
to get to those dreams when you see a title like this.
You want to know what is what is in it.
First second is Steve Jobs one was one of the most successful people
in the history.
So knowing those rules knowing those 10 rules can bring a lot of reward
for me.
It can make me successful.
So it's a reward too you see.
And if you pay attention he has for example five million views on this
one get four million views on
the next one for three point six OK.
So even though that this is very common in his channel he's doing it
over and over but he's getting
results.
OK.
All right.
So next one couple of days ago I was just watching some videos on
YouTube and I saw this video and you
see when you see something an image like this a camera with a
microphone over it.
Two hundred dollar camera with another microphone on it twenty five
dollar OK.
It sounds interesting right.
Even it will be more if you are into this stuff.
OK.
So with this image he's trying to create curiosity OK.
Mostly it is hard to find a scarcity in these images because these are fun
thumbnails for videos on
YouTube.
Scarcity mostly is used on products on sales on ads that specifically are
talking about for example
and events that like Black Friday or Christmas that you have a lot of
sale.
Scarcity is mostly used on those areas but right.
Till now we have seen these example.
So let's jump into Instagram and see some samples there.
I saw a lot of samples that people use scarcity people use live art or
curiosity on Instagram but I
haven't saved them all just from couple of days ago that I was paying
attention more because I knew
that you are going to talk about it together.
I said I saved couple often right.
So let's talk about some of them here.
Right.
So here I am in my Instagram page.
Let's come down and click on this one here and see these posts.
So let's talk about the first one on the bottom okay.
It's marks like our big on the right side and on the left side it is an image
from a robot from Terminator
a movie.
All right.
So what will happen in your brain.
Just try to feel it yourself.
What will happen in your brain when you see this image.
K.
I think you have to feel some some dangerous thing that also if you pay
attention there is a title there.
Did you know what did I know.
OK so there is a question and you see Mark Zuckerberg and deadly
robot there and you will get curious
to know more about it.
And when you click on it you will see that there there is a story about
something that happened in codes
that they have in Facebook.
And then you read it.
You may not see it's very interesting or you may even hate it okay.
But that's not the point.
You open the page you open the post okay.
You have seen it.
You have read the post.
OK.
So this is important partners attracting people.
Right.
Let's go for the next one the next to one.
The next two posts are from Tai Lopez.
So he does that a lot on the right side of the screen.
You see there is a title at the top.
I'm worried about us humans.
OK on the right side you see Trump in the middle you see Ty and on the
left.
You see Kim Jong un and behind it.
There is a nuclear explosion.
OK.
So when you see something like it you will get interests that you will get
curious that what's going
to happen here.
OK.
What is it talking about.
Is it.
Is there a war coming.
For example these kinds of things come to mind.
But when you open it you see that guy is talking about what he is talking
about is connected to the
topic.
But he he will not mention Trump or Kim Jong-Il at all.
He will not mention you can read the subtitle.
You see he is not even mentioning nuclear missiles or var or this kind of
stuff.
He's talking about something else.
Of course he has stars like in his start with.
I'm talking about us humans.
OK.
The first line there.
But generally it wasn't about this.
He used just these images to try to grab your attention to push us to
open these posts.
All right.
OK.
So next one it is time sitting in his Lamborghini.
And the title taser than what they didn't teach us in a school.
So immediately these questions creating questions quiz shins in your
head.
Many questions in your head that what they didn't teach us in a school.
That's why I'm not successful et cetera et cetera et cetera.
OK so we even with a simple question you can create curiosity in your
customer's mind.
Next one you see there is a guy who has a tattoo but he's removing his
tattoo weed with a knife.
So it's it looks interesting how is he doing that.
OK.
Of course when you click on it you will see no such thing.
It's completely something else.
OK.
Completely something else.
But as you can see look just look at the views of this video.
One million views.
How do you think they get this one million views.
Because they come here they see that.
OK.
Let me open it this way.
They see this image that there is a person removing the tattoo of his
arm with a knife.
They want to see what the hell is going on.
But when you come here there isn't any right.
You may have this question in your mind and how they create this
image.
Okay.
How.
Because when you upload a video on Instagram you can select a
thumbnail you can select an image only
from the video itself.
Okay.
So how they are showing this.
If this if this video if this part doesn't exist inside the video.
So what they do then they are editing the video in editing software like
Cam Taseer.
They upload it put their video and at the end or at the beginning they
upload for less than one second
they upload the image.
This thumbnail image that creates curiosity in customers mind get they
upload that image too.
All right.
So when I open this video if you pay attention for the for less than one
second you see the image then
the video starts.
OK you see.
All right.
So this is how people are doing it and how they are receiving result how
they are grabbing people's
attention on Instagram on their page and pushed people pushed
audiences to see their posts to like their
post to visit their posts.
I'm sure right now that you have seen this.
If you pay attention when you are searching in Instagram and you see
different posts you will see this
very very much.
It is very common that people you open a video you see an interesting
video you open it you go inside
you that thing which you saw doesn't exist inside it but of course the
video itself is a good.
It's so good that you will forget completely that what was the image in
the first place.
All right.
So to wrap it up more or less this is how you can create how you can
create these cognitive biases on
your Instagram posts how you can use copywriting on your posts in
Instagram or anywhere in social media.
All right you can do the same thing on ads OK.
How you can.
For example let's say you want to upload an image upload a post on a
as an ad on your Instagram or upload
a story on Instagram.
Let's say you are like me you're standing in front of a camera and you're
speaking for let's say 15
seconds and you want to upload it as a story.
Ads on Instagram.
OK.
What you should say.
One of the things that you must say is that all right this will for example
this sale if it is a sale
or if it is a promotion or whatever it is that you want to sell.
If there is a time mentioned that time if there is a quantity mentioned the
quantity we only have we
only register for example 20 customers.
We only have this sale until tomorrow morning.
Hey it will only last for six hours.
Use this stuff try to create reward curiosity and a scarcity for people.
OK.
So I have talked so much and I hope you found this interesting and
useful for your own business for
your own page because this is really one of the ways that people create
content that goes viral.
OK.
There is another element to that we are going to talk about on the next
section.
Those are extremely important too if you want to create something viral.
But this was one of the ways one of the steps that you must know and
you must apply.
All right.
So see you on the next lecture.
Assignment: Create your viral post
sample
30 minutes to complete6 student solutions
Welcome to the next assignment. During this part we try to practice what
we have learned during this section of Instagram marketing.
231. The 4 energies on IG
All right.
So welcome to another lecture.
I am so excited that you have came all this way.
Learn all of these amazing stuff till now.
And you were with me.
And right now during this part we are going to talk about couple of
examples on Instagram and understand
this topic on Instagram much better.
Right.
So a couple of months back I have heard this a statement from
someone who was teaching Instagram marketing.
Hey I heard him.
He was saying that when you want to create a post you have to try to
create something emotional.
OK.
And when I heard this I started to laugh you know why.
Because this is not true.
You don't You don't have to create something emotional.
And I will prove it to you in a minute.
OK.
If you try to create your post very emotional there is no guarantee that
you become successful in that
because you must be sure that your product your topic is emotional and
your target are also emotional.
In that case it will work OK.
But what if your product is practical and your audiences that you have
gathered around are action then
what you want you do what you want to do.
Or let's say your product is practical your customers are practical.
But what you're trying what do you what you're sharing what you're
posting is emotional then what you
want to do.
OK.
You won't see any result.
You know what will happen then you will calm and tell me that.
All right.
I have done everything you told me but I am not becoming successful in
Instagram marketing.
OK.
That's what.
That is what's going to happen.
So this is very important because you are spending time spending
money is spending energy and doing
something.
And if you just do the wrong thing you're not going to get any result.
So here I am going to show you one page that it is practical.
The page is practical.
The product is practical and the people who follow this page are
practical.
So it doesn't need to be emotional.
It doesn't need to be.
For example look very fabulous very good with very good edits and
designs and et cetera et cetera because
the people who follow this space don't give a damn that how these posts
have been created.
Are they having a low quality or high quality are they design good or
bad.
The typography is good or bad.
The colors are good or bad they don't care.
They care about the content itself.
OK.
So I'm going to show it.
Right.
So right now I'm in my Instagram.
And as you can see physics fun around one million followers more or
less.
OK.
So this guy here is just simply putting a camera recording a physical
experiment.
OK.
So if I click on each of these
there is no high quality and it's simply he just put the address the user
name of his page on the bottom
of the video on the left side and he just record that some evens.
OK.
It doesn't have it.
For example you may say all right the lighting of this area is bad.
OK.
No one cares about it.
The people who are following this page they don't care about that.
OK let's come down for example in
this one for example.
OK you see it is even very dark for of course to see the light.
But anyway this guy doesn't need to create posts that are emotional.
Okay so you have to focus on that you have to understand this topic that
if your product is practical
like here that he doesn't have a product.
What he's doing in his page is practical okay.
It is giving information about physics that is practical and people who are
following are practical.
So you don't need to spend time on design.
You don't need to care about that.
People are going to care about the content.
What are you going to show us inside this video if it is bad.
They will go.
But let's say you have a fast food.
Okay.
As you saw in McDonald's website or other fast food that we have take a
look if you have a fast food
hot what type of images what type of colors you have to use.
Okay.
You have to mostly use red color red yellow orange okay.
So these are the colors that you have to use.
If you have a fast food because your product is action your target is
action.
So if you don't use this type of color if you don't then you create let's say
you have a fast food and
you start to create.
You hire someone you give them 5000 dollars to create and an ad for
you.
OK.
A video for you and this guy is an he is an emotional guy.
So what he does is that he has started to create a video very light very
smooth very beautiful with
a beautiful environment with a beautiful lighting on for example a burger
that it should look energetic
it should look fast but everything is so relaxed so smooth.
So what will happen.
You raised that 5000 dollar you will not get any results from your ads.
People will not come to your store to have fast food from seeing this ad
because you are doing something
some small thing wrong.
OK.
And it can cost a lot for you.
Let's say you have your product is social.
Then what you have to do.
OK.
So what I want you to do is to think about it.
First of all find out what is your product.
What is the type of your product.
Then see what you have to do what type of colors you have to use.
OK.
What kind of edits on your videos or on your e-mails as you have to use.
All right.
You have to know this is tough and you have to keep them in your mind.
OK.
So practice that try to play with this stuff.
Write them down right.
And some of the questions that I just asked you and see you on the next
lecture.
232. 8 rules for Instagram post
So eight rules to have a successful Instagram post.
So here we are.
And the first rule about having a successful Instagram post is about
time.
Now most people have some questions.
All right.
How many times during a day you have to post on Instagram at what
time you have to post on Instagram.
So first of all let's talk about the time right.
If I'm just giving you some general instructions on different conditions
and situations it can be different
but generally you can follow these steps.
First of all if your business is B2B business to business your target or
other businesses or other companies.
The best time to upload a post is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m..
All right.
You can upload to maximum three polls during that time if but if your
business is about business B2C
business to consumer.
For example you are doing marketing for fast food which opens from
9:00 10:00 a.m. and closes at 12:00
at night.
The best time to upload the post is from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m..
OK you can.
Again you can upload between two to four posts a day.
And the other thing is that if your business is not local and you have
customers from all around the
world your business is global.
For example for me I have students from all around the world.
I think from 190 countries all right.
So what I can do is to upload post for example every six hours every
four hours because someone from
somewhere around the world will see the post and it will have the effect
that I want.
So that was number one about post number two is VRA and or green.
We talked about it inside digital marketing mentality part.
Here it was.
These are the instructions to have a compelling content especially on
Instagram.
You can analyze your posts and improve your post using these
strategies.
So if you skip this part you can go back to digital marketing mentality
and learn more about it.
So the next one is post topic.
Now this is very important in general to build a page.
So let's say for example the misuse of screens.
Let's say you start to watch a movie.
Right.
And after 10 minutes watching it you exactly know what is going to
happen till the end of the movie
game.
So will you watch the movie till the end or not.
OK.
The thing is that most people won't watch it because it will get boring
when you know exactly what's
going to happen.
It will be boring.
Right.
On the other hand let's say for example you started a new TV series.
You watched the first episode and it's about some topic you watched the
second episode.
It's completely something else about some other topic.
You watch the third episode.
It's again completely something else about some other topic they use.
For example let's say 100 percent element of surprise both of these two
are not very good.
But the combination of them with the right amount of percentage will
deliver the best content possible.
So it's the same here on creating a successful Instagram post.
The best way is to create a successful Instagram post in general on all
of your posts.
It should be 70 percent expected and 30 percent use the element of
surprise.
So I'm not saying to use this as strategy in one post but in all of the
posts that you are uploading
on your Instagram page.
Let's say for example My page is about marketing right.
I can upload 70 percent posts about marketing and 30 person posts
about some other things about myself
about my life about what I'm doing next.
OK.
About something that people don't expect.
If people expect to see exactly one main topic on my page then my page
will get a little bit boring.
Right.
But if I add this 30 percent element of surprise beside that people will
get what they want and what
they expect to get decide that they will receive some other maybe
information or some other entertaining
stuff as well.
Right.
So try to follow these stories as you when you're building an Instagram
page.
Right.
The next thing that you have to pay attention is the targeted hashtag.
So most of you by now you must know what is a hashtag on Instagram
or other platforms.
But the thing is that on your when you upload a post well you can use
different hashtags.
But the smart way is to use some specific targeted hashtags to grow
your business.
So what you can do here is to target your competitors hashtag for
example every company every page they
mostly they have their own hashtags.
Right.
For example Nike has their own hashtag MacDonalds.
They have their own hashtag.
Most businesses they have at least one to 10 to 20 hash tag for their
business.
So what you can do first of all find your competitors by searching in
Instagram or using some other
analytic platforms which later will talk more about them.
You can find your competitors and then use their hash tag under your
post.
OK.
Let's say you sell cookies right.
There is another store that they're successful they have a lot of for
example followers.
A lot of listeners audiences and you will use their hashtag under your
post.
Why.
Because when people search for a hashtag they see your posts.
And this way you can grab their attention because they all really liked
their business.
They may be like your business as well.
Right.
So this way you can attract them into your business.
This was number four tip number five post CTA.
You should use call to action under all of your posts.
It can be anything.
For example you upload a post you can write down.
Click on the bio link to for example do this or do that.
You can say tag a friend leave a comment.
Leave your feedback about this product.
And so on.
But always always always on there.
All of your posts use a call to action.
Rule number six create and follow a main theme.
Now this is very important because when new visitors come to your
Instagram they are looking at your
Instagram page.
If they see a general harmony a general theme inside your page they
are more likely to follow you because
it will look more professional.
Right.
And people want to receive higher quality stuff.
So for example how you can create a main theme for your Instagram
page.
First of all you can use some specific kind of filters.
But use it on all of the posts you can use some specific colors for
example the business has for example
these three four colors.
You can use some of those colors on all of the POS.
You can use some kind of design on all of the polls to make them
connected to make them that.
All right.
All of these posts are designed with a harmony and a general theme.
All right.
It has a great effect on new users.
That is it your page.
Rule number seven is one main place.
So you have to do your best to direct all of your all of your audiences to
one place.
It can be your Web site.
All right.
It can be the company's Web site.
You can write down that thing under all of your posts.
OK.
For example when I upload a post in my template the thing that I design
from all of my posts on there
all of them I have my own Web site and I receive a lot of traffic from that.
And I share that post on Pinterest.
I share the same post on Facebook my Facebook groups my Facebook
fan pages and Twitter and so on.
So this way I drive all the traffic that they have in all the social media
channels into one single
place and from there.
Well most of them will sign up to my email list most often will buy my
products right away and so on.
This way I will have access to them through e-mail marketing.
Then we will do the other.
We will follow the other strategies to increase our sales.
All right.
So you can use the same thing.
It is smarter to use the web address but also some people they use for
example the Instagram user name
on their day posts.
I don't suggest that but it is better than nothing.
So the next one which is the last rule is the tools that you may need to
create a better or higher quality
content for your Instagram.
Well these are some application that you can install on your mobile
phone and create some posts using
these.
I'm going to open some of them for example camera.
You should be familiar with it by now.
You can use it online on the page or use their mobile app.
These you can use these apps to create different kind of for example a
post with different type of typography
with different kind of images and so on right.
And that was a rule which will help you to upload a successful post on
Instagram.
Now there is a bonus tip here for you for Instagram marketing.
Most people think that Instagram marketing is all about numbers.
The number of like the number likes the number of followers and so on.
But if you are looking at Instagram from business perspective looking for
numbers number of all the
number of likes of this page is increasing so we are going to be more
successful.
That's not the main thing here.
The main thing here is to find targeted followers.
I mentioned it before.
On the other sections when we say targeted we are talking about users
who are very much interested in
your business in whatever you are talking about.
OK so these people are more valuable than a huge number of followers
that they are.
They may like your posts.
Right.
So having 100 targeted followers were worth much much more than a
ten thousand random followers.
All right.
So spend your time because we are talking about business.
We are talking about selling a product.
Increasing sales in a business right here.
You must focus on targeted followers not general random followers.
Just use some for example apps to increase your followers creating
some ads to just find some people
who like your page and so on.
All right.
So that was all about this lecture.
If you have any question write it down for me.
Or if it if some part of it it wasn't clear for you.
You can go back and reread the lecture and under next part we are
going to talk about for advance marketing
strategies for Instagram.
So if you are ready for the next part let's go for it.
233. 4 Advanced Instagram marketing strategies
So welcome to the next lecture which we are going to talk about for
advanced Instagram marketing strategies.
So here we are.
And the first one that we are going to talk about is follow our attention.
Now the first time that I thought this topic this is strategy it was several
years ago.
And since then still I receive a lot of messages from my students that
they say this strategy was amazing.
We are receiving a lot of followers a lot of targeted followers for our
business and they are so happy
about it.
So again today I'm going to share it with you with some additional stuff.
So during this a strategy all you have to do is first of all it includes to us
the first step is to
find there your potential follower hangout.
OK.
So for example if your business is about some type of restaurant you
have to find the places that your
potential followers are and under privacy.
Later we talked about your competitors.
So that is a great place because people who already are following your
competitors they are interested
in this topic.
So if you just find them and grab their attention somehow and bring
them into a web page this way you
can attract a lot of Target's followers to follow you.
And later on convert them into customer.
So the first step is to find where they are.
And the second one is to grab their attention so you can do this
manually but it will take some time.
You have to go to to your competitors Instagram pages click on their
recent posts and see who left the
comment who liked their posts.
All right.
Go to their pages.
And for example you can send a follow request this way.
They will.
It will grab their attention.
Oh who followed me.
They click on your page.
They come to your page and say oh this is interesting.
I like for example this topic so they don't know from where you found
them.
But when they come to your page they see that.
All right.
This is an interesting topic for them.
So they will follow your page.
Beside that you can like their posts.
You can leave a comment on their posts.
If their page is public and try to create a connection so you can attract
them and bring them into your
web page.
This is the first rate that you can do it which is is manually.
But there are some other ways that will help you to do this process
much easier.
And that is using some kind of automation tools.
Now there are a lot of automation tools out there for Instagram but there
is one of them that I have
been using it for the past two years and I suggested it to all of my
students and I think till now thousands
of my students are right now using this platform.
This I can say this extension.
So one of the concerns of people about using automation tool is that first
of all well if Instagram
know about it then they may be like your page for some time.
But about this tool till now for the past two years for me it was safe and I
can say I have used this
tool for at least ten different Instagram pages.
All right.
This is just only my experience so I put the link here.
The name of this tool is ever like here.
You can click on it and it's a Chrome extension plugin so you can come
here and install it on your chrome
and start using it as you can see I already have it.
It's right at the top here.
And so first of all what this tool does this tool will use your Instagram
account to like some specific
kind of posts on Instagram.
For example I upload a lot of posts a lot of quotes on business codes on
my Instagram page.
So I create a task inside this extension and I say like the posts that have
the hash tag cut.
OK.
So I can write down some specific hash tag and all the posts that you
have this hash tag under them
ever like her will use my account to life those posts.
All right.
Some people make this mistake and they think that all right if they use
this extension they will receive
likes themselves on their own posts but it is not like that.
It will use your account to like other posts.
So what will happen after that.
This way if you select the right hashtag or wrote right down the right
condition for it to grab to find
their potential followers it will grab their attention.
For example they come into their Instagram account and they say Oh
someone like my post and they will
be curious.
Alright.
Who this is who this person is that they don't know me they don't know.
They don't follow me but they like my posts.
They click on it and they jump into your Instagram profile and they see
and all.
They see that the topic is interest for them and they will follow you.
So how you can use this.
First of all simply you can just come here.
Click on install it.
It will add it to chrome.
There are some steps that you have to follow to activate it.
It's very simple and clear.
I'm not sure.
I don't remember it exactly because I have done it a long time ago but
you can install it.
You have to I think you have to write down your email.
They will send you a code and write down that code in two day
extension and it will start working.
I think it was like that.
So in general when you are done the icon will appear here right at the
top of top right side of your
chrome browser.
Click on it and here you have to create a task for it.
So at the top left side it is we think configured tasks so click on it and
here you can click on Add
task and set the conditions and the rest of it.
So the first part you have to select the type of this task.
Alright so if I click on it there are a lot of types the free version only has
like bi tags.
So you write down the hash tag or several high stakes and it will go and
like the posts that have that
hash tag but they have other things like for example like by location you
want to grab the attention
of the people who uploaded a post in your area or in your city.
OK.
This way you can select this one and tell ever later to life the Post who
dat that were uploaded in
this specific area in Los Angeles for example.
The next one is like my feet.
After that we have like users followers.
It will.
For example you can follow your competitors and this way ever like here
we go.
And like the posts of your competitors.
All right.
So this is a smart way to do to grab the attention of your potential
followers.
The next one is like users following and after that type performance
report and so on.
So we are going to talk about the first one right now because it's the free
version.
If you are interested in the other versions you have to buy the extension.
So here you come and you write down some 1 hashtag or more and you
will define how many likes parody
you want.
But in general on the free version it will not like more than 700 a day.
An unpaid version I think they like 1400 All right.
So there are some advanced sitting here as well that you can change
the settings as well right.
So that was all about the first strategy that we have.
The second strategy is to use feature page.
Now in general for example when you want to do marketing for a
company you have a business page for
that company.
In this strategy we are going to create one or more feature pages so you
have your business Instagram
page and you will create another page.
But the thing is that this feature page the topic of this page must be
connected must be the same as
your own business page.
Let's say here you sell cars here you must in feature page you must talk
about cars OK you sell for
example your clothes here you must talk about clothes and fashion stuff
right.
So the topic must be the same but the difference is that on the feature
page you will not promote anything
you just deliver value you just upload posts that people like to see.
If you are uploading for example post about car you can just upload
some post some video or some information
about cars.
Right.
If you're a business let's say for example like me if my business is about
marketing and online courses
business courses lifestyle courses these kinds of things I will I can
create a feature page and there
I just share posts about marketing about business this kind of stuff.
Right.
And this way I will attract a huge amount of followers because I am just
delivering value without asking
anything.
All right so this way you can create a future page.
But how you can use it to grow a business.
All right.
After some time that you get to a good number of audiences on these
feature pages you can start promoting
your own page.
You may saw this before on Instagram that you follow a page.
It looks like that they're just uploading some information on Instagram.
They're just delivering value.
And after some time you start to see a sort of pay attention.
That's right.
They are for example talking about some specific business.
A lot of those pages are feet are called feature pages.
So what you can do after you get to a good number of audience you can
promote the main business space.
So let's say if you have to feature page after sometime after reaching for
example 10000 followers of
50000 followers whatever you like.
You can start promoting your main business page.
Direct people to that page and from that page you will direct them to for
example another place like
your e-mail list or your Web site.
All right.
So this was the second the third is it the third one is shout out which is
common.
And you may heard of it before but it has several types.
The first type of Shout Out is shout out for shout out.
Now in this type you have to go and find pages with the same topic as
yours and almost we can say more
or less with the same amount of followers as yours.
So if you have 10000 followers go and find pages which has 10000
followers.
If you have 100000 followers go after pages which has 100000 followers
send a direct message to them
and ask them if they are willing to do a shout out for a shout out.
You may hear know a lot here but then you try several pages someone
will say yes and all you have to
do is to share a post from their page and ask your followers to follow
them and that page also should
do the same.
They will share of posts from your page on their account and ask their
followers to follow you.
So this is the first version.
The second version is the page shout outs.
Now in this way you have to go and find pages with the same topic as
yours.
But for example let's say if you have 10000 followers you can go after
100000 followers 500000 followers
and send a message to them.
These pages usually have pricing lists for example.
They will tell you that.
All right.
I'm going to share a post on my page and I will let it be there for two
days and I'm going to charge
you for his number one hundred dollar free.
There are some a specific point that you have to pay attention here
because now that you are paying
it's important to take to pay attention to some specific factors here.
For example when you are contacting these pages ask them for they
reach here and impression.
Now if you don't know these persons on Instagram or on other social
media channels reach is the amount
of people who saw your posts and impression is the number of times
that your posts have been seen.
For example one user can see your posts ten times it each time will be
counted in impression.
But on the reach it will count as one view.
All right.
So ask them about their top reach and top impression.
Let's see if they have for example 100000 followers.
If they reach is for example 1000 people and their in-person two
thousand people it's not good.
And it shows that they have a lot of these active followers.
So be sure that if you want to pay someone to do shout outs for you
select the right page.
That bring a good amount of value to your page.
The next type is inviting influencers.
So in this way you can look for people influencers who are talking about
the same topic as your business
and just start a conversation with them and invite them to your business.
Let's say you are doing marketing for a hair salon right.
You can find people in your local area that are talking about makeup or
about haircut.
These kinds of things and invite them for a free session to your
business.
OK.
You can invite them that hey.
For example we like what you are doing on your Instagram page and we
would like to invite due to our
hair salon for a free session of makeup and this kind of things.
And if you like the case share it with your followers.
All right.
So this way you can easily with doing some small thing for free.
You can bring a lot of targeted followers to our Web page for example
for me because I have a lot of
business and marketing courses.
People who have some product connected to what I am talking about
they contact me and they tell me all
right we have this product.
We will give you this free stuff.
And if you liked our product you can talk about it in your courses or in
your webinars and live streams
and so on.
So I sometimes I review their product and if they were good I will talk
about it and I will introduce
it to my students.
So there are a lot of influencers out there and you can as well some of
them maybe ask for money not
for your stuff but you can find a lot of influencers that we're just giving
them some free stuff they
will come to our business.
Talk about your business and invite their followers to test whatever you
are providing.
So the last one which is number four on this list is contest no contest are
very powerful so quickly
I will go over the steps that it has.
The first step is to set a valuable revived a valuable prize for the contest.
We can we can call it a mega give away all right.
It should be something first of all connected to your business.
If your business is about let's say shoes what you are what you have to
give away.
Is shoes.
If your business is about.
For example fast food you can give free meals or I don't.
Some people do it this way that their business is about something else
but then they will give.
For example iPhone they will give cash.
This is not working much because this way you will attract people who
are not interested in your business
your topic your industry but they are interested in their reward that you
are giving.
Okay.
So if the reward is not big and it is not connected to your business that
contest won't work on Instagram.
Don't start any contests until you reach for example to 4000 followers on
there that it won't have a
lot of benefit for the page.
Step number two is to design a good image for as you can use canvas
dot com to create good quality images
and there are some specific elements that you have to use.
You have to add in your emails one of them is that the first thing that
people see must they must see
the.
And the second thing is they have to see the value the general value
that you are delivering in this
contest.
For example if you are giving away 10 shoes and each of them cost 20
dollar so the value of the this
giveaway will be two hundred dollar.
All right.
So be careful about these things.
Try to apply them when you are creating their image for your contest.
Then you can use.
This is optional you can use some platform here.
I suggest that route works.
You can use some platforms that will help you to do the give you a way
to do this contest much easier.
You can direct people for example you can upload a post and say Write
down that this is a contest and
if you join you can.
You may win something like this.
So how you can join the contest.
The steps.
Step 1 for example tag like the post and tag to be friends for example
except to click on the link in
the bio and sign up for the contest so they come here in the rubrics.
They write down their name and their email and they register in your
contests.
So this way not only your drawing your page by asking them to like and
tag their friends under your
post but also you will grab their emails and step number four is to write a
good copy when you want
to upload your post.
The first part you have to talk about reward the first thing that you write.
It is better to write the reward between two stars as you can see here for
example 10.
This kind of shoes win 10.
This kind of shoes with the value of for example 200 dollars something
like this.
Then on the right down how to enter the contest.
Step one step to us the tree as.
And so on.
And finally after you uploaded the post you can run ads using Facebook
manager on for your for this
Instagram post to grab more people and get more emails and creating
an add in Facebook manager is exactly
the same way that you create and as for Facebook.
OK but this time when you want to create an ad placement in the
placement you should select Instagram
and then select your Instagram posts.
All right.
These are the main important things that you have to follow.
There are some additional things that you can say on at this time when
you you're writing the caption
of your posts.
At the end you can write down that at this date we will announce the
winners and first of all we will
announce the winners through email.
So what you can do you can send an email to your to the people who
signed up and tell them who won the
prize.
And beside that you can add another thing.
For example 20 percent discount for the people who signed up 10
percent discount for the people who
signed up.
Use this coupon code and so on.
So this way not only you grow your Instagram page.
Beside that you get a lot.
You grab a lot of emails you create an email list from targeted customers
and beside that at the end
you push them you direct them to your store to your shop.
If it is local if it is online to buy your product.
Okay.
So they will see it as a great opportunity.
So there is another thing that I want to tell you because here we talked
about ads I want to mention
another thing.
There is something that Facebook recently added to their ads manager
and if this is business that Facebook
dot com and we are here we are in ads manager in the audience part.
So if I click on this menu on their assets here we are in audiences now.
There is something interesting that recently Facebook added so you can
target people who are very connected
to our Instagram page.
You can come here click on Create audience custom audience and then
here select Instagram business profile.
But it must be business.
So selected and then here select your Instagram page that is connected
to your Facebook and for example
you can select everyone who engage with your business.
For example over the past 90 days right over the past two months
whoever who had some engagement with
your Instagram here you can target.
There are some other options.
For example people who send a message to your business profile
people who save any posts for example.
These people people who saved any post they are more likely to be to
convert and become your customer
because they already saved one of your posts.
Okay.
They are very much interested in your business and also same as other
places on Facebook you can narrow
it down.
For example you can say people who are anyone who visited your
profile or anyone who for example saved
your post or you can exclude something.
For example you can say people who engage with your business
account but not the people who send you
for example messages on Instagram right.
Select a name for it and just create it this way you can create ads and
target the people who were in
who were engaged with your Instagram account.
All right.
So these were four major marketing strategy for Instagram and there is
a bonus that I am going to share
with you.
I really had a good experience about this.
The bonus that I am telling you right now and I saw a lot of people
building a huge massive pages much
easier using these tools.
OK so the thing is that when you upload a post on Instagram Instagram
quickly for the first phase no
30 minutes they run a quality test on your post meaning in that period of
time.
If for example one hundred people saw your posts and 50 of them like
your posts or leave a comment they
consider this post as a high quality.
So what will happen.
They start to show it more to other people for example through the
Explore tab.
Okay but let's say if during the first 30 minutes from one other people
who saw it.
Only you receive only two three likes.
They considered as a low quality and they try not to show it to other
people.
So the thing is that how you can use this how you can use this system to
grow your page.
Now some people create a group of Instagram and.
For example when they upload a post they go to that group and they ask
the other members that hey go
to my poor final post and for example like it and leave a comment and
tag a friend for example.
They will do it all for each other.
So this way they try to help each other to grow their page.
But here several months ago around 7 6 months ago I found out a
company again these companies that I
am introducing to none of them are mine or I won't receive any benefit.
I just use them and I found them interesting and useful and I think if you
use them it will make your
work much easier.
That is why I am introducing them to so the tool that I found out here.
It was exclusive mafia and it's their name and I put a link here so you
can come and click and you can
come here.
You see this is this some example of the people of the pages who are
using their service.
You see I saw a lot of people beside that you find a lot of.
I can say maybe friends people who are managing other pages with the
same topic as yours.
Beside that you will find a lot of people like this.
You will receive a great service that has a huge effect.
They have some videos that explain their business but very short quickly
I mean I will tell you what
it is about.
So what they do when you sign up there they first of all they give you
some PDUFA date explain the instructions
and how their system works during the day.
They have some events.
First of all when you sign up they analyze your page and say for
example previous page is about business
and marketing and courts.
OK.
So they put me in that list.
Your pages about for example closing it saw you.
They put you in another list.
Okay.
And the pages on these lists all of them have the same topic.
Okay.
And then everyday they have for example six time six different events
before it is 30 minutes before
each event.
They will send you a message on telegram and they will ask you if you
would like to join this contest
or not.
You say for example.
Yes I would like to join the contest.
Then after 30 minutes when the contest event even starts they send you
a list of pages that you have
to go and they will tell you the instructions.
For example they will tell you go to these each of these pages for
example 50 pages the list of 50 pages
you have to go inside each of these pages like their final post for
example live a common take someone.
Okay you have to do the same thing for all of these 30.
All of these lists.
Okay.
And also they do the same thing for you.
So before an event a start you can upload a post.
Then all of these people on this list they come to your page and they
start to like your post they start
to leave a comment and tag a friend on your post.
And this way immediately Instagram consider your post as a high quality
post.
So what will happen.
The chance of your posts showing up in Explorer tab will go much
higher especially for example when
you select venues write down different hashtags.
When people click on hashtags in hashtag part there are two columns
one of them is the top ones and
the other one is the recent ones.
The top ones stay there for a long time.
So this way you can go to the top ones as well and stay there for a long
time and attract a lot more
people.
OK so in that time that they used their profile.
I use this service for a month.
It was really good but the reason that I didn't continue to use it because I
was very busy with my other
stuff for example creating online courses I couldn't I didn't find the time
to do this but in that one
month that I used it it was really good and I really liked it so that was all
about these marketing
strategies I know it took a long time but it was important.
So if you have any question about these strategies write it down for me
and on the next part we are
going to talk about a very important topic which is Instagram sales
funnels.
So if you are ready let's go for the next late.
234. The importance of ads on Instagram
Welcome to another section on Instagram marketing during this part.
We are going to talk about how we can create ads.
First of all what type out.
As we have on Instagram how we can create them how we can define
our target which is very important
in creating ads.
And by the end of this part you will have your own ads ready to lunch.
But before we start why do you need ads.
So one of the important part of marketing.
Well first of all marketing is not just about some strategies that you can
use on your business in a
free version.
Okay.
Also there are some other ways that you can bring followers being
customers to your business.
But with using ads and paid version of marketing.
So this is the paid version of the marketing.
And this way from what we are going to learn you will be able to bring
more people to your page more
people to your let's say landing page your website to convert them to
paid customers and things like
that.
All right.
So if you're ready let's start.
The first lecture.
235. 4 type of Instagram ad
So during this lecture we are going to learn what are the four types of
ads on Instagram.
And finally we will discuss that which one can be the best choice for our
business.
All right.
So right now we are in business.
Dot Instagram dot com.
OK.
So you can come yourself visit the page yourself.
Go around.
And there are a lot of good information here.
But where do we want to go right now.
Is on the second tab advertising.
So come and click on advertising
and here there is this.
There are some samples about the four different type of ads that you
can have on Instagram.
So the first type as you can see here is the photo ads.
Now the thing is that photo ads is very common on Instagram.
The reason is because creating it it is easy for people.
Not everyone is a master of creating ad images or videos or things like
that.
So that's why the other type are a little bit difficult to build.
But we are going to talk about it.
I'm going to give you as many as keep that I can that I know about
creating good ads.
All right.
So this is the first type as you can see are that right at the left side top
left side there is the
name of the page on the right side.
It is used in the sponsors which means this is the ad and if you come
down under the image there is
a call to action button.
You can change this text to some other options like learn more book.
Now contact ask this kind of call to actions and under it there will be the
caption that here they don't
have any or it is under this.
The number of likes and we can't see it anyway.
This is the first type of ads that you can create on Instagram.
Let's go for the next one the next one as you can see is video ads.
And this is a sample of how it will look on Instagram.
If you create video ads.
And this is from Volvo car USA actually.
And it will show how it will be of course.
So before we have talked about how to grab attention of people.
OK.
I think if I'm not making a mistake we talked about this during live
lectures.
All right.
How to be more effective when you want to do live streaming.
Now one of the things that I told you was that if you be able if you try to
create movement for your
viewers you will be able to grab more attention.
Now what is the benefit here.
Comparing to the previous one this is just an image and nothing is
moving right.
This is okay.
This is good.
But when something is moving it is attracting more.
So if you have the ability to create videos or at least with the tools that I
show you.
For example the tool which we discuss about it in the content creating
content quality section.
There was a tool which you can't edit videos or add some element and
the name was Cam Taseer.
Can Taseer.
Even if you cannot create a video like this Let's say you have a image.
OK you can bring that image at some element and add some movement
to it to this image.
For example your logo here flashing or moving around some texts come
in.
This is a video.
Right.
And it will attract more but it won't be so much professional like these
ones.
But anyway it will have more effect.
So as you know on Instagram the length of videos are 60 seconds right
now before I think it was one
year or two years before it was 15 seconds but later they changed you
to 60 seconds.
Right.
So let's go for the next one causal ads.
Now this you may see it a lot in Instagram an Instagram post that you
can upload a post a couple of
images and we just sloping to the right or left.
You can go to the next images.
It's like more like it's like a slideshow.
Right.
This is one of the good ones especially if you have for example different
products to show or a product
from different angles or different use.
You can do a lot of things if you try to be innovative here you can find a
lot of good ideas how to
use these type of ads and find out which one is the best fit for your
business for your product.
OK.
But anyway this is one of them.
And as I said it is mostly uh used by people who have different type of
products or different images
from their product.
OK so let's go for the next one.
Now this one is also one of the most popular.
It's a video or an image that appear between stories.
OK.
So you have you have followed.
Let's say one hundred people and at the top in your feet page at the top
you see that there are stories.
So you start watching their stories.
OK.
You see the first one you see the second one.
And between them you may see some stories like this like the one that
we have here from a B and B you'll
see some stories that are at the top it is written and sponsored and it is
from people that you didn't
follow.
So those ones will look like like we what we see what we are seeing
right now.
Now as Instagram is saying themselves there are around 300 million
accounts every day using stories.
OK.
So using it is a story ad is very useful.
And I have seen a lot of successful people using it like they try to create
a video a short video.
And in that video.
They just try to convince you to swipe up and go to the link.
Kay this needs a little practice and you need to know more how to
create an effective ad.
It is in stories.
Of course you can try but later on we are going to talk about it.
There is a section that you will talk about some strategies some.
We will look at creating ads from psychological view and you will learn a
lot more.
And how you can create an effective and convincing ad K as an image
or as a video.
Right.
So more or less that was all about the four different type of ads.
So the first one was photo ads.
The second one was a video ad and carousel ads which you can swipe
left or right.
And the last one was stories.
OK so that was all about the four different type of ads on the next
lecture.
We are going to jump into Facebook.
We will go to the ads manager and we start to set up our setting there
our account there.
And finally on the next part.
After that we will start to create our ads.
All right.
So more or less that was all.
If you have any questions don't forget to ask me and see you on the
next lecture.
236. Facebook ads manager
So we are getting to the interesting parts right.
So jump into Facebook.
First of all you must have a fan page.
Right.
Because we are going to need that fan page in creating ads even for
Instagram.
Right.
So before in the early in the pay in this course we had talked about how
we can create a Facebook fan
page.
But anyway.
Maybe you skipped that lecture.
I'm gonna tell you right now.
Quickly in couple of seconds at how we can do it.
So come to your Facebook and at the top right side you see an arrow
click on that arrow.
And if you come down you will see create page.
Click on it.
So here you will see another page which you should select your the
topic of your page.
For example let's say it's a business or brand.
You click on get started.
You select the name and the category click continue and it will jump into
your page and it will tell
you to set up an image cover photo of things like that.
And after these steps you are done even so that you can escape
uploading photos or a car or photo.
This kind of stuff you can keep them but generally that's all you need to
do to create a Facebook fan
page.
So let's go for Facebook ads manager.
There are a couple of ways that you can get to Facebook ads manager.
One of them is to come here again click on this arrow and you can go to
create it create ads or manage
ads.
So click on manage ads and at the page the ads manager will open.
Also you can come here write down ads a Facebook dot com slash ads
slash manager again.
It will come to the same page here as you can see.
First of all you may see different other things from what you are seeing
on my screen right now.
And that is why Facebook Instagram they are always changing things
around.
And the whole thing the whole topic is more or less the same.
But some elements will change they may change some names.
But if you just pay attention just look around things you will find whatever
you are after.
So at the top left side you will see a menu Facebook ad if you click on it.
Another menu will open and the things that we are going to talk about
mostly here is ads manager which
there we will manage our ads will create our ads and et cetera.
The next one is about to report reports that will tell us how many people
for example saw our ads how
many people clicked on it how many people converted and so on and so
on assets here.
We will talk about.
We will use audience as mostly we will in audiences will define who will
be our targeted audience who
what who we want them who we want to target in our ads.
And finally the last one is billing which we have to set up our payment
method.
So at the end of the month Facebook can take the money off the ads
which we made right.
So here click on ads manager and we will come to a page that all of ads
of which we reach we previously
made are here.
So if you are new in this page if it is the first time that you are here you
may see an empty place
here.
No ads but if you create an ad your ad will be will come here as you can
see here at the top we have
four tabs I can't overview campaigns ad sets and ads.
All right.
So when you create an ad your ad will be will appear here.
You will see your ad you will see the statues for example.
These are.
This one is inactive.
These were completed and you will see the result et cetera et cetera.
All right.
I understand that it may look a little complicated because there are tons
of buttons here.
Tons of things that you can click and move around.
But if you just come here and try to spend some time you will get used
to it.
I will not take your time to show you around here because I want to
spend our time is specifically on
the important things you can just spend some time right now.
I spent a couple of minutes just look around look what you see for
example you can come to the menu
and try and click on each of these and see what they include.
For example here in reports if you come down we have pixels pixels are
about retargeting and retargeting
is one of the important things that all the companies all the successful
companies and even the small
companies are using.
And with retargeting you for example how do we I want to explain you
for example you go to a online
store you go to Amazon and you see a product you go.
You come to you.
Damien you see a product.
Okay.
And but you don't buy it when you leave that page later when you go to
Facebook when you go to Instagram
or other platforms on Google.
If you go around you will see the ads of that product coming to you will
see it everywhere.
Okay.
That is retargeting and with pixels on here you can create that.
But we are not gonna talk about it.
Okay.
As I said we are going to focus on ads manager ads report audiences
and some settings here.
Right.
So more or less that was all.
And see you on the next lecture.
237. Billing and payment
All right so on this part we are going to talk about how we can set up our
payment method on Facebook
ads manage.
So on the periods later we're here in our ads manager and what we
should do.
Click on the menu at the left top site and come to the final part final
column which is within blink.
As I told you they change things around a lot here.
For example this one here was billing and payments.
They change it takes two billing.
All right.
So as I said if you just pay attention and just look for what you need you
will find it.
They will change it a lot.
There is no way around it.
So click on blink.
And here you have to set off your payment method.
And as you can see at the top right side here it is 10 payments sitting.
So click on payment sitting.
It will jump to another page which you can add your let's say Visa card
your credit card or your paypal
or bank account here.
I have one here.
But let's say if you want to add another one click on Add payment
method and a window will open here.
You will write down the card number.
The information about that or if it is PayPal you will select PayPal and
continue.
Then it will jump into PayPal Web site and it's you will write down your
information the information
about your account and it will connect to your paypal or if you have
Facebook at coupon you can go from
here.
But anyway when you finish setting up your payment method here you
will see something like this.
As you can see for example mine it is ready here I can click on Seymour
to see more about my payment
method or I can edit or remove it anytime I want.
So more or less that was all about how you can set up a payment
method a payment method on Facebook
adds manager right under next lecture.
We are going to talk about some important things.
Important information about creating the ad.
And when I say creating the ad I mean literally the image or the video
that you want to create not the
ad inside Facebook or Instagram.
We will talk about that on the next section.
All right.
So that was all.
If you have any questions ask me and see you in the next one.
All right.
So welcome to this lecture in this part we're going to talk about a very
important Instagram marketing
strategy and a concept behind it that will help you a lot in growing your
page.
So the main topic that we are going to talk about here in this lecture is
Instagram
quality checks.
Came
now what is Instagram quality check.
So every single time that you upload a post on Instagram Instagram run
a quality check on your post
to understand if it is good or if it is that.
Now how do they run it in the first 60 minutes and write it down here in
the first 60 minutes after
you uploaded your post Instagram run this test.
This quality check and if it is the result was good they start to show your
posts more and more people.
Now how do they consider how do they make the calculation and what
kind of post is considered as a high
quality after you upload your posts during the first 60 minutes if your
post get a good engagement.
Instagram will consider it as a high quality post.
Now what do I mean by engagement engagements are a call to all of
the time all of the actions that I'm
going to write down here.
One of them is like if someone like you post it is considered an
engagement.
If someone leave a comment
if someone leave a comment and maybe for example right that takes
with for example five to 10 or 15
words.
That is an engagement and more than 10 words it's usually very good.
And it will increase the chance of your post getting a better result in the
quality checked tagging
a person not you.
But we are for example followers come to your page and take someone
under your post the next one is
share.
They share your posts on there for example as a story or send it to one
of their friends.
And the other one is save Jay if they save or all of these actions.
And there are some other but these are the general one to the sum of all
of these actions.
We call it engagement.
And if your posts have good engagement under 60 Minutes in during the
first 60 Minutes Instagram will
be considered as high quality and they start to show your post to more
people very they show your post.
Well one of them is in.
Explore the place that you want to you go and search for a new postman
to come down.
You see there are some suggestions your post will be visible there as
well.
And also on hashtags.
So when people search for a high stake hash tag for example business
and they go to the top section
they will be able to see your post there as well.
So right now the important question is too how are you going to increase
the engagement in the first
60 seconds sit fit first 60 minutes to get a better result in the Instagram
quality check how going
gonna do that.
Now there are several ways I'm gonna start from scratch.
There's several ways that you can do.
For example you can asked your friends too.
For example we can send a message hey I just upload a post cannibal
is just like it and leave a comment.
This is one way to do it.
If you are a social person and you have a lot of friends that are loyal to
you.
This is a great way to just start and grow your Instagram page.
But as I said I'm starting from scratch.
These are the beginnings.
These are the strategies that you can just start from the beginning.
Right now the next one is to run a given
now.
A lot of pages successful pages huge pages that they have a lot of loyal
followers.
They use this as strategy as well.
For example a person like Gary V.
He does this a lot that he says he has a hashtag he call it.
Hashtag sexy I can love something like that.
A high stakes 60 seconds love and he tell his followers that all right if
whenever I turn on the notification
and whenever I applaud a post like and leave a comment and in the
comments Write down See how sex 60
seconds club and then I will select a winner and I will give for example
free sign butch one of his
books.
Okay so this is a great start as if you have a lot of loyal followers you
can use this as strategy as
well.
It would just boost your page up to the next level.
Another thing that you can do which is very common is to ask your
followers to turn on
notifications
okay.
Turn on post notifications again Gary.
We have a great example here.
If you search on Google you will find his email it just surface on Google
gave the town on post notification.
He has an image.
He has a standing somewhere.
He is pointing out like this and it is pointing out the tree dots above the
post.
Now every post every image or video that you post on Instagram.
Let's say this is your emails something.
And here there is tweet.
That's OK.
If people click on to those that there will be several options.
The last one I think is a turn on post notification so you can ask your
followers to turn on post notifications.
So every time that you upload a post they will receive a notification and
they will jump on it and they
will like and leave a comment.
Right.
So this is another great way the next week that I want to tell you about is
using a tool.
Now this tool is a paid application but it is very powerful.
And if you just use it for two or three weeks you're going to see a huge
result a huge difference inside
your Instagram page you will see it's growing very fast.
Okay.
This the tool name is
executive mafia.
So if you're just going Google and search for executive mafia or you can
also this is their link.
This is their website as you can see under the screen you can go there.
Executive mafia they provide this service regarding what you want to do
and also they have a lot of
other things for example when you join the platform.
First of all they will contact you they will give you a lot of information that
hold their system of
law.
So don't worry about that.
They will also invite you in four or five telegram groups.
Now for those of you who don't know what this telegram.
It has a very powerful messaging app which if you ask me I think it is a
thousand times better than
WhatsApp and Viber and all those other apps in this area.
And also it has some kind of social media love tweet that you can for
example start some pages there
and you can have a lot of followers there maybe later in the upcoming
future a create and other course
or some lectures about telegram marketing is very powerful but still in
some countries it is not very
common.
So anyway they will invite you in four or five groups there and each of
these groups has different purposes
you can one of them is for learning.
Everyone will come there and share their information both Instagram
marketing.
Some people come there and ask for example for shout outs and this
kind of things.
Another thing that they have to mention before I keep talking about this
tool this tool is not my company.
Some people make this mistake and they think you right.
If Priya is introducing a tool it means that right.
He is the owner and he makes money from it or something like that.
There is no benefit here for me.
I just use their tools for a couple of months.
I saw a great result in the pages that I control and I decided to share it
with you guys.
And for what it was.
I spoke with their CEO.
I told them that I want to introduce you to most do this.
And I told them that.
All right give it discounts from my students but sadly they didn't have any
discount program.
But if later they put it I will inform you so you can get this tool for a
cheaper price.
But anyway that's all up to you if you want to use it or not.
Now the important thing about this tool that can help you a lot here.
They have to force you can see right.
They have to bots on telegram and these two bots.
Each of them run a different event for Instagram.
Now if you use these two bots once every day your Instagram page is
going to explode.
Kay is going to grow very fast.
You're going to get to a huge number of people and write them a column
and convert them to your followers.
Now one of the bots will start an event and for example usually 50 to 70
people will join that event
and then you are there the bots will announce that right.
The event starts just right now and you have for example one hour and
a half to complete the task.
Everybody has to go to that they upload the list of the pages of the
people who will just join.
Now everyone must go to all of these pages.
Click on the they latest post like Keith and tag someone say and add
everyone will do it for each other.
And the result is amazing after one hour you'll see that your post is just
going to be going through
the roof.
The other two I don't remember the name of the two the other both but
the job is to leave comments.
You have to go there and you have to leave a card sentence with at
least 10 words for each other.
The others would do the same for you.
So again this one will help you a lot to increase your chance to get a
better result on the Instagram
call T.J..
All right.
So these are the two bots that will help you a lot.
There are other things as well.
For example they start a weekly groups to shout outs.
They add for example five different pages to a list.
And you have to each one of you have to make a shout out for each
other during the week.
Now also you can get a better good result from this one but my main
purpose of introducing this tool
in this lecture was to increase the quality check and using the two bots.
Right.
Also beside all of this I've seen that people start some groups on
Instagram a group of friends or maybe
they don't know each other but they're all there to do the same thing.
But I prefer this one because everybody must do it if they join the event
you are free not to join it.
You can join their platform but you are free to join any time and any
event that you want.
That is not.
But if you join you have to complete your task and because of that I
think it's going to be really helpful
for you.
In my experience it was perfect.
All right.
So more or less that was all about the Instagram quality its quality check
if you have any questions
regarding the lecture that we had right now.
Just go to the question and answer section or send me a message and
also you can go to my Instagram
send me direct message on Instagram which is much better for me
because I can respond to you with a
voice message so I can explain more and help you better solving your
problems and answering your questions.
All right.
So you can do that if you have any questions.
And also one other thing I have to mention this again our goal here is
not just to increase our rate
inequality check and guess for example 10 times more like or more
comments.
Our goal here is to engage people with our page.
And later in the upcoming lectures I'm going to show you another
marketing strategies and ads that will
help you to convert these people into your followers and followers to
your subscribers.
All right.
So more or less that was all.
If you have any questions right now for me and I will see you in the next
part.
248. The 2 type of ads you need
All right.
So welcome to the next lecture on advanced Instagram marketing.
Now before we jump into the next topic and talk about ads I wanted here
I want to explain the two type
of ads that you are going to use in this sequence of marketing a strategy
and what are they for.
And what is the goal and why we are doing that right.
So in this sequence of Instagram marketing services we are going to run
to kind of two different type
of ads.
Let me just write this out here as number one and number two.
Now the first one we are going to target we are going to show this ad to
people who got in
engaged with our page but sadly they didn't follow us.
I think you have to change the marketing being engaged with our page.
For example the little like your post there left a comment.
They send your messages or they had some engagement in your page
but they are not your followers.
Right.
How you can do it how you can target these people.
I will show you in the next lecture we will go to his Facebook ads
manager and they will create a custom
audience and we will target these people.
Now why we have to do that why we have to create an ad.
Well when you create when you upload a post and for example you
have let's say 1000 follow but for example
two thousand people like your post.
Well why they don't just themselves.
Come on followers.
Usually most of the time no.
Every time that I for example upload a post I receive a lot of
engagement from people that they don't
follow me.
And after they just for example like my post or leave a comment on my
post they still they don't follow
me.
Why.
Because mostly they forget it.
They come to the hashtags and they see my poster.
They like oh what a nice possibly.
Just like most of them they leave a comment.
They see my posts on the Explore section of Instagram.
They say oh what a nice post they like it.
They left.
Leave a comment or maybe tag their friend but they forget to come and
visit my page and visit my profile
and follow me.
Right.
So the goal here this is the target.
And the goal here is to convert these people into our followers.
OK.
To convert them into our followers.
Now this is very important because I have these statistics in my
Instagram post let me just take a look
at it and I will take this screenshots for you for example then me being
one of my posts here.
This one I got one thousand one hundred sixty three likes with about
100 comments one hundred and ninety
two people saved that and just taken a screenshot here so you can see
it as well.
One hundred twelve people shared this post.
Eighty six comments.
One thousand one hundred sixty four lives.
Sixty one people visited my profile and it's reached to twenty one
thousand people.
And let's see how many people just followed me through this pope's
followers.
We live in from one thousand one hundred sixty four people only 11
people followed me and 92 percent
of the people who got engaged who saw this post.
Ninety two percent of them they were my followers.
Right.
So only 8 percent of Tumblr my followers who they already followed me
and from that those 92 percent.
Only 11 of them followed me.
This is.
Let me just take another screenshot so see it here as well.
This is why you have to run this ad.
OK people forget it.
But when you run it people remember you people recognize you if you
have some kind of branding on your
post.
For example let's say this is your Instagram post.
You have your logo near or a case or something that shows that.
All right.
This post is yours.
The first one that they saw it.
Okay.
This is a cool post right.
I mean I like bright life and leave a comment later when they see almost
the same style same the same
style post later as an ad they will recognize it.
All right.
This person I saw this page before is let me just take out a profile.
Now this week increase the amount of followers a lot and a lot more of it
using an ad like this.
So this was just the first type of that the second type of ad that we are
going to runs.
We are going to run to target people who are more familiar with us.
People they know us people.
They have came to our page some mostly on the other right now as
followers.
OK.
But when you're not target them on Instagram on Facebook ads
manager we can't.
There's no nothing there to select.
Right.
I'm going to turn for example I just showed this to my followers.
You can't do that.
But anyway we are going to target people who got help a very engaged
with our page and so our profile
and a little they have more information about us compared to the first
group and the goal here is to
convert these people into
subscribers can email subscribers.
Now why do we have to do this.
Because from here the later will have the ability to convert these people
seem to customers.
Now if you want to do it from this crash you may say all right why don't
you show this ad to these people.
Okay maybe not convert them to subscriber but why why not we convert
them into customers.
Okay let's just say I'm going to do it this way I'm going to create an ad
and show it to people who
just for example like one of my paws and I'm going to ask them to buy a
product for me.
This usually won't happen.
You may get for example you don't get a good result.
You may have a start to sell your product to some people but in general
in my experience you will spend
more more more money on ads than what you are going to make from
your customers.
Okay.
So what I suggest is this process converts create an ad target people
who got engaged with your page
and then ask them to follow you meaning here you have to let me just
read this one.
You have to create a kind of post that they already are familiar or maybe
a counsellor styles that you
have several type of force that they can go through.
And the last one is the call to action follow our page and so on so they
remember that you can for example
put four off for your book.
For example you can put your top four or five posts here as a counselor.
And then the last one will occur called actions that hey follow us.
Jay if you like this post why not follow us.
Okay.
And then from here you are going to write another ad targeted these
people and make them just push them
to become your subscriber you send them to a landing page to grab
their email.
Later we'll talk about it more in the email marketing that how we can
create for example a landing page
and put your stuff there.
And for example ask people to just sign up or how you're going to do
that.
We're going to talk about it in the next couple of lectures okay.
So don't get worry about this part.
But the main concept is this.
So these are the two main type of as that we are going to run in this
sequence.
And again if you have any question write it down for me.
If not let's jump into the next lecture.
249. Convert audience to followers
All right.
So welcome to this lecture in this part.
We are going to talk about running ads.
Now this is very important.
On the previous couple of lectures we learned about some marketing
strategies that will increase the
engagement of your post and your profile.
And now it's a time to push people forward to follow us.
All right.
So what you're going to do here right now I'm on my Facebook ads
manager if you don't know how to get
here.
You can come to business that Facebook dot com or you can open your
Facebook and click on this arrow
here come down and click on manage ads.
Right.
So when you are here at the top left side there is the menu.
I'm not gonna go very deep in ads manager and how to create an ad at
the end of this section.
This is Instagram marketing in a Facebook.
I will add another section for the Facebook marketing.
I will put the Facebook ads and how to use ads and Facebook ads
manager and how to create an ad in that
section.
So if you don't know it I will put the link in the resources you can jump
into death later take a look
at it and again come back here.
Right.
So anyway this is the ads manager menu.
And if you connect your facebook to Instagram you can do it through
your Facebook fan page.
You can go to the setting and connect it to your Instagram page.
Then when you come here if you go to audiences there is this is the
path that you create.
You define audiences.
And later in when you're creating an ad you can select one of these
audiences and on Facebook right.
Show my ad to these people.
But what we're going to do right now here is to create an ad create an
custom audience.
Now the goal here is to attract the people who already got engaged with
our Instagram page.
We want to push those people to follow us because as I said before
most of them will come.
They leave a comment they like our posts and even they visit our profile
but they forgot to follow us.
OK.
So right now we need a little push.
So come here click on Create audience and then click on select custom
audience and it will give you
a lot of options here.
One of them is Instagram business profile.
So select Instagram business profile.
And now here you have the ability to define everyone who engage video
business in the past 365 days.
Now this is too much.
People who get engaged with your page for example 10 months ago
they don't remember you.
Right.
So I mostly put it on two weeks or maximum 30 days.
Right.
So I'm going to put it for example 30 days.
Now you have the option to select other things as well.
Anyone who visited your business profiles people who engage video
posts or ad people who send a message
to your business profile people who save any photo any posts or.
Right.
But I usually put on everyone who got engaged with my account.
You can select a name for it whatever you want.
This is just for you to remember what was the name people who got in
getting engaged with my instagram
page for example.
And also you can add.
Same as other places on Facebook ads manager you can add more
filters include more people you can come
here for example you may want to select people who visited your profile
and people who messaged you
or I or you want people who got engaged with your profile.
Let me show it in here.
Exclude people.
You want people who got engaged with your profile but you don't want
people who already visited your
profile.
You may say all right people who already visited my profile.
If they wanted they would have followed me right.
So I'm going to exclude them from this list not to waste more money and
I'm just going to focus on people
who get engaged with my page but didn't visit on my profile.
Right.
You selected the name create audience gain.
That's all you have to do and click and done.
And this is it.
Here it is right now below one hundred thousand will be low 1000.
It is populating it is working on it.
It usually take a couple of hours one or two hours until it gets ready.
And when it gets ready you will you won't see the populating ward under
the site.
Okay.
And if it is under 1000 you still need to attract more people to your Twilio
page.
But with the strategies that I already told you in the past couple of
lectures you will be able to create
a good custom audience and run an ad so quickly very quickly I'm going
to show you how to run an ad
can come by here in the ads manager
and we want people to like our pet like our or follow our page on
Instagram.
OK so I'm going to click on Create.
All right.
So here we are and select traffic come down here select a name again
select something that later you
remember what you mention what is this ad about click and continue
and here you have to come down.
Click here to select your for example the audience that we just created.
Come down you can remove the country to target all of those audiences
and anywhere they are.
And here under placement it placements here you can remove
Facebook or the instant work and Messenger
and just keep Instagram remove Instagram Stories and only Instagram
feed.
Hey then come down select the budget and all information about
payments here select your Instagram Instagram
account.
Upload your post.
Whatever it is it is the image or if it is a video.
Come down here right down.
Let me just.
Just to show you to select some image here.
And here.
Write your text or you can write for example.
Follow our page to get more amazing posts.
For example something like that.
And then here you can write down the you URL off your Instagram page
instead from dot com underscore
feel you a obscurity which is.
So here.
I wrote down to put the slash OK so that will work you can select
depending on what you want.
You can select a button or even no button as you wish but I suggest you
to select a button.
For example maybe subscribe will work better and more honest that's all
you have to do using here.
There is another option on your Instagram application you can go to
Instagram page select promotion
switch to screens select promotion and then you can select for example
more profile visit and but the
problem is that from there you cannot get access to these custom
audience that we just create.
But if you use Instagram application the button won't be for example
subscribe or something like that.
It would be for example visit our Instagram profile.
Okay so people will understand it better that they have to follow you on
Instagram you can use that
as well.
But this way on is on Facebook ads manager you will have access to
the people who had some engagement
with your.
And this is this will bring more result in my experience.
Okay so that was all for this lecture.
Don't forget if you have any questions ask me and I will see you in the
next part.
250. Valuable trap
All right so let's come to the next lecture and till now we have learned a
lot.
And in the previous lecture you have learned how we can create a
custom audience to create and target
these people.
Now before we get to the second part of this second type of ad I want to
teach you another think something
that will help you to convert your followers into subscribers.
Now here you need something else that you call it trust.
We're not in this to make sure we're going to talk about this trap and it is
very important.
If you do this right you're going to get a lot of sub e-mail subscribers
here.
But first of all before we get to the trap let me touch.
Let's talk about why we need to create an image and exploit us.
We don't use our social media like Instagram to sell a product.
Why do we have to bring this followers again into another place like an
email list then again from there
we convert them into our followers.
There is a big difference between social media marketing and email
marketing.
Let me just write it down here.
Social media
and here we have email
e-mail marketing pay.
The big difference here is that here on social media you are not in
charge.
You're not in control of your audience but here your control is a movie
more comparing to social media.
OK so let's say for example on a on your Instagram you have 1000
followers right.
And here on your email list you have 1000 followers 1000 e-mail
subscribers.
If you upload a post on Instagram with 1000 followers maybe maybe
maybe you get two Humvees rich meaning
only 200 of your followers maybe see your post what it is like this.
Why.
Social media are designed this way because it's social media platform.
Want to show you the post that you mostly will like it.
Hey even though people may follow you they may not pay attention to
your post for a lifetime.
They did and they have seen it for several times and they don't like it.
They did and got engaged with it.
So it's a goal we'll start to assume that all right.
If this people for example if you are following this page but you haven't
like any post or in earlier
left any comment under his post for the past couple of weeks so why I
should show it to you.
So I'm gonna put it at the end or maybe even Don't shoot.
So that is why when you upload a post with 1000 polar 1000 follow you
get for example 200 reach and
most of them even they don't see or post inside their feet page and also
while they don't get the notification
for it they don't they don't know that you uploaded a post and some of
them you will lose it there.
But here is when you send an email.
Well generally most people check their emails right and there is no
controlling here.
No one is here to tell you right.
For example your subscriber these 10 subscribers they usually don't like
your email.
So here you have the chance to deliver your emails up to 95 percent
okay.
And if you do a good job at writing a very high quality email subject you
can increase your result up
to for example between 15 percent to 35 percent if you know what you
are doing you can get here as well
from here.
You easily can convert them into customers.
Okay so this thing is also very very obvious on his Instagram the.
If you have paid attention.
For example let's say you follow four different peoples.
Person number person A B C as D.
Okay.
Well the first time that you come to Instagram you follow this guy and
you will see them as A B and
C and the J.
But even for that you follow person number 8.
You may not like the stories.
Okay you will tell us okay.
For example he or she is a relative.
I followed that person over there.
Yes he upload a lot of useless stories so I'm not going to watch it.
You don't pay attention to this story for several time no person no bill.
Give me a little love or she upload logs with her stuff.
Yeah but someone was there.
No.
Hey.
So what will happen here.
Instagram will run a calculation and say.
You don't like this too.
I'm gonna put it at the end.
Oh you like this too.
I'm going to bring that in front.
So you see more of these people that you like and less from these
people that you don't like.
Okay.
Now this is why you need to convert your followers into email
subscribers.
Now how you are going to do this.
This is not just a simple thing.
Okay let me just jump into the next page.
Your followers need more incentive care.
You cannot just go out there and say hey this is my email let's just jump
into it.
Why do they have to do it that way.
They have to come and write down their email and their names.
For example most people get their phone number as well.
Why do they have to come and fill this form for nothing.
Right.
Why they have to do it.
You must give them an additional incentive which we call it a trap.
So if you pay attention on the Internet you'll see this a lot that people for
example come and give
PBS.
Right.
People come and give you a link to a video and they will teach you
something there or maybe to their
lives.
Okay.
So all of these recall live.
Right.
This is the way that you are going to push people to jump into your email
list.
But this trap must have something very important and that is called what
it should be.
It should be valuable because if it's not valuable people won't care about
it.
You come and say Right I'm going to do this important thing for you
which maybe this is for important
for you but people don't care about it.
People don't find it valuable.
You won't get them into our email list.
If you give them a PPF that nobody cares or type that give them a video
and teach something inside your
video that people don't want it they will not jump in.
This email is so it is very important to create a valuable valuable trap.
And when this call it shut.
Don't feel bad about it because it's not a bad thing.
It's just not a strategy you are delivering something good and valuable to
a people and you want to
push them forward to give them your products which are amazing.
Okay.
This is what we call it right.
But anyway it has to be value but it has to be valuable for them.
Some people make this mistake and when something is valuable to
them they think it's valuable to everyone.
So all right I'm gonna give you this valuable thing but people don't care
about it and they start to
say no they don't get in a resolve on this I am giving this valuable stuff
but people don't join on
my email list.
Okay so think just try to look at it from your followers perspective.
Will they like it.
Will they want it.
Here's your valuable trap connected to your Instagram topic and your
general story or not.
So again this is very important.
Not only had it has to be valuable it has to be connected liberated so
you don't forget it.
It also has to be
connected to your topic.
Okay.
If I'm talking about marketing business and life style on my page I can
not come here and give you for
example a book about I don't know about some other type about for
example baking a cake right.
These are these are not connected.
So you have to select a value trap and then next assignment will talk
more about it and I will tell
you exactly what you have to do to keep her your valuable trap and then
you will jump into the next
lectures and talk about other strategies.
Again if you have any question write it down for me and I will see you in
the next assignment.
