TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES:

• [00:27] Today’s Topic: How to Generate Traffic From Instagram When You Have No Followers
• [00:40] Make sure you’re using the right tags.
• [00:43] There are tools like RiteTags to help you with this.
• [01:04] Promote your Instagram on your other social accounts.
• [01:10] Get the most engaged people to follow you.
• [01:18] The more engaged your followers, the more viral your post will end up being.

• [01:52] Start doing stories and when people watch, get them to go to your website.
• [02:13] Instagram Pods are a way of getting people together and like each other’s posts.
• [02:57] Eric likes Unity Influence, which is a platform where you can find influencers (NOTE: Eric has invested in this company).
• [03:22] When someone likes 20 pictures all at once, it doesn’t have as great an effect. If someone likes your photo and nothing else, your post will get a bigger bump.
• [03:54] Eric hired a company that kept reposting other people’s motivational quotes and doing power likes.
• [04:05] This doesn’t actually add value, so if you’re going to do something like that, you may as well use Canva.
• [04:25] You also need to have the right content that caters to your target audience.
• [04:32] Also, consider buying another Instagram account.
• [04:45] The account that you buy doesn’t have to be active before you buy it, but it should be in your field.
