From the Dominican Republic
Initially started with social media to become a pro soccer player
Refused an offer in favor of entrepreneurship
Applied traditional business knowledge to Instagram strategy
Grew account to over 4.5 million followers
[7:50] Maxed out 1000 attendee cap during 1st webinar.
Pitched to over 800 people and generated 5 figures
[8:47] How influencer marketing works on Instagram:
Find Instagram accounts targeting your audience and pay them to promote you.
Either with an Instagram Story with swipe up or normal post pushes traffic to a link in the influencer’s bio or link to your account bio.
[10:45] How to reach out to Instagram influencers:
- Contact via email, KIK or Telegram messenger link in their bio
- Approach them as your brand or business to convey credibility and let them know what you're selling
- Ask what they charge for a promo
- Establishing a relationship with the influencer will go a long way
[14:08] How payment works and why you should only send payment directly to the influencer.
[14:54] A typical Instagram Stories promo:
4 separate posts over a 24-hour period
Influencers address audience to drive awareness, sell your registration with a CTA to swipe up.
[17:09] Between 5-10% of the total follower amount will see the Stories. The same percentage of that audience will swipe up.
[17:40] Instagram influencers with personal brands are more powerful than those without.
[18:05] A typical Instagram post promo:
Create a picture or engaging video and put text within the picture
Pay influencer for 1 post with link in bio
Make arrangements with the influencer to repost every 4 hours
90% percent of engagement is within the first few hours of posting
[21:20] An example of how typical influencers charge and how to 3x your exposure and traffic.
[23:44] How to grow a brand-new Instagram account
Pay for Powerlikes and comments (not shout out’s)
"If you have great content and know what works for your market space and industry, that's like the gasoline on the fire. You'll grow extremely quickly."
Powerlikes: Audience sees which posts are liked and commented on by high authority accounts.
Instagram surges relevant content from high authority accounts (100k+ followers)
[26:37] Negotiating price for likes and comments with influencers:
Start the conversation with promotion price to gauge awareness of value and use as leverage when negotiating.
Ask Stories and Likes & Comments price
If they're reluctant, frame offer benefits in simple terms and concepts
[29:19] How to get quality traffic from Instagram:
Don't push directly to the webinar
Use a lead magnet to warm up audience (with optional Tripwire offer to help cover Adspend) and learn more about buyers
Ask influencers for their analytics to assess quality of traffic
