all right how's it going everybody my
name is Cosette through hijo I'm an
artist and I want to talk to you guys I
want to talk to you guys really brief
here I have to get my coffee about
Instagram I hope that I can help you
guys with some of the stuff that I've
learned and so what I'm about to show
you is a strategy for Instagram and the
reason why is because a lot of people
have asked me Jose if I were to start
right if I if you were to start to me
right all over again what would you do
what would you do because I love people
know that I started or people that
follow me right they know that I started
on Craigslist then what would you do
today and I say to them this is what I
would do I would pick any social medium
right any social media channel and I
would dive into it that's what I would
do because I know that that's what I did
with Craigslist I dive into it so here's
what I would here's the one I would
choose the elephant in the room right
the most obvious one I would choose
Instagram Instagram why Instagram well I
don't know simply because everyone's in
it
and it's and it's art right there's the
it's photograph they're the format so
anyways the strategy is really about
getting to those sales everybody wants
to get to the sales how do I get to the
sales I need some of that moolah I need
some of that money how do I get to that
well you're not gonna get to this okay
you're not gonna get to this if you
first don't get to this little magic
work word traffic you need eyeballs okay
traffic is what you need and so this is
why I say Instagram because this is
where the traffic is and the traffic is
around art floormat right some sort of
put a photograph or paintings or
sculptures whatever it's something that
you took you take a photograph it's more
artistic Instagram so traffic is where
is where I would die be right traffic is
what you need now people have told me I
am on Instagram right it's just it
doesn't work
I'm on Instagram what do I do like is
there a magic hashtag is it follow
unfollow
what is it and I'm about to tell you
something that will if if you take this
advice it'll change your career I
believe that it'll change your career
forever for the best if you don't which
I think most people will take it but
anyways I mean I'll just I'm just gonna
give it to you here it's so simple
everybody misses it okay you need to
engage on Instagram this is the magic
you need to engage almost a lobby bar
what they're doing is that they're going
through their Instagram feed and there
and there and they're liking the
photographs they're liking liking like
Nike or leaving a smiley face okay dude
sonic come on dude I'm the middle of the
video here and they're just liking Sonic
isn't it
hate so but they don't engage they're
not part they're not part of the
community this is what they're missing
everyone's missing this not everyone
it's just an overstatement the people
that are winning at this Instagram game
they're [ __ ] doing this they're doing
it well all you gotta do is just look at
look at there look at the profile look
at look at how many comments they have
that's all you got to do right just go
look they're waiting at it and it's not
just because they have a lot of folders
they have a lot of this I mean the Holy
Grail would be to have a lot of
followers I mean hundreds of thousands
if not millions and have a lot of
engagement all of it together both of it
together so anyways this is what I would
do if I were to start all over again am
i doing this I am doing it not at the
scale that I'm about to tell you okay
and the reason why it's because that's
not where that's not where I get my
income screen if I were to start a
little bit again that's what I would do
because I started in other places but
this is what I would do so people say I
engage already on Instagram and it's not
working it's because you're not doing it
right I'm about to tell you why you're
not doing it right okay you're not doing
it right because you're not quoting
everything in it
you're not putting everything in it
almost everyone that goes on Instagram
what they do is that they'll like and
and follow someone or comment and and
and they're not they're not diving in
what do I mean by diving in I'm going to
give you a little a little example if
you sleep eight hours go to your regular
job for another eight and you have eight
hours left eight hours left me
personally what I would do is that I
would spend between six and seven of
those hours on Instagram engaging and
one or two hours tops to creating the
artwork why am I saying this man because
instagrams got the traffic this is what
you need guys now this is not the only
way of doing it okay
I'm telling you one of the many ways but
if you don't want to go off and knock on
doors of interior designers or galleries
or if you don't want to go into the many
marketplaces online or the many art
shows which is going to require you to
walk there move there knock on doors
shake real hands not virtual hands right
shake real hands if you don't want to do
that maybe you do but this is not what
this video is about this video is about
Instagram there is a way it's called
Instagram okay but you're not going to
scape this six to seven hours engaging a
day you should be engaging on Instagram
till you get till you get blocked every
single day you should be liking
commenting DMing people engaging
engaging engaging on Instagram till your
till your fingers you can't feel your
fingers anymore that day and then do it
all over the second day the next day and
do it and do it and do it till you start
getting some real traffic you start
getting real traffic you don't have to
worry about sales you're not gonna have
to worry about sales the sales are gonna
come to you
that's gonna be the easy part your art
could suck literally suck and you'll
start making the sales because you've
got the traffic it's probably an
overstatement but there's most people
are worried about the art they're like I
don't know what should I put what kind
of art should I go
don't worry about your art worry about
this and everybody's trying to do it
everybody's trying to do it but they're
not doing it they're not doing it
they're not doing it correctly they're
trying to look for what filters do I use
how do I do it what do I say don't worry
about it this is what matters
this right here this is what matters
this is the [ __ ] that everybody skips
everybody either focuses their cells on
the artwork or on the sales everybody's
focusing on on on the stuff that doesn't
require the uncomfortable part the
uncomfortable part is not getting any
return
that's the uncomfortable part if you're
sitting there every single day six seven
hours right at least four hours a day at
the very least if you're sitting there
every single day on Instagram you're
gonna be scratching your hand you gonna
say man like is this even worth it
should I even be doing this no one no
one no one really cares about what I got
to say right no one cares about anything
I'm not I'm definitely not getting paid
for this it's a full-time job it's eight
hours right you're spending six or seven
hours in your early creating it's a
small painting or large whatever right
which is one art piece that is going to
take you maybe one hour to create or
maybe you work on it for an hour and
then you don't you don't finish it up
there you might finish the next day or
or in three days you finish it it
doesn't matter this is the Holy Grail
this is the Holy Grail
but in order to get to this you need to
go through here so on Instagram you'll
engage get the traffic let's get the
sale that's how this works
this this is the same mechanism for
anything I don't care what you do it's
the same mechanism you go to a mixer
someone's on I don't know
a local business mixer or whatever
you're going to have to go shake hands
and introduce yourself to every single
person in the room it doesn't mean you
can stay there and talk to them for an
entire night it means that you're going
to introduce yourself and you walk and
you introduce yourself to the next
person and that's it's the same anywhere
before I forget you should be doing this
and posting right on your wall at least
once if not three times a day on your IG
wall okay because some people have get
confused about that you should be
posting you're painting what you're
working on maybe a book you're reading
it doesn't matter that doesn't matter
this is what matters in order to get to
this you're gonna have to engage you got
to engage a lot and so this is what most
artists are missing they say man I'm
working on Instagram and it's not
working and it's not working of course
it's not working because you're not
working on it you're trying to do
everything you're trying to do Instagram
you're trying to do Etsy or try to do
Facebook and no income coming in you
need to drop all the other [ __ ] and
focus on one once this is handled then
you can go to Facebook then you can go
to Etsy then you can start doing other
stuff but if you're not if you're not
getting you're not winning on any one of
them this is what you're doing you're
prolonging the time to get there all
right if you're only working on
Instagram 30 minutes a day and I'm
telling you that it's going to require
you at least four six hours eight hours
a day in order to really crack it right
and it's not gonna it's not gonna be in
one year it might take you to three
years in order to really crack it it's
gonna take you some time
then you're 30 minutes a day he's gonna
turn into ten years guys this is what
this is what no one tells you you're
thirty minutes a day is gonna take you
like it's gonna take you like ten years
to crack it to really start getting some
some real qualified traffic to start
asking you hey is that thinkin available
hey can you can you paint something like
this but I'm a little larger for me
those real questions right north in
order to get to those real questions
where people are actually interesting
what you got to offer you need to get to
this or maybe or maybe you just put your
little link hey guys you want to see my
art click the link right here on my
profile
right that's all but in order to get in
order to get people to stop clicking on
that link you're gonna have to get to
this okay
so I'll leave you guys to that my name
is Cosette through hijo I'm an artist I
know I know it's very it's [ __ ] hard
I I'm not here to tell you that it's
easy and it's gonna be so nice and no
it's gonna be hard and you're going to
doubt it every step of the way and
that's how you get [ __ ] done I really
don't know any other way I'm not getting
paid to share to share this with you
guys so I I can be blunt about it it's
gonna be hard and probably most people
watching this are not gonna do it I know
that know who who the hell wants to do
it but if you really want it this is the
way take care guys
