running you have a decent amount of
followers and now you're making
absolutely no money you're getting no
sales coming in this feels for you this
way I'm gonna show you guys exactly how
to go ahead and set up and position
yourself to actually make sales through
your Instagram account and turn it into
a stream of income for you hey what's
going on guys welcome to the video if
you're new here you don't know who I am
my name is Anthony I run a 1 million
followers network on Instagram and I
also run an Instagram marketing agency I
make videos like this to help you take
your account from zero to hero I'll show
you how to grow how to monetize than
anything else in between so if you're
really trying to grow on Instagram and
take it serious make sure you go ahead
and subscribe to this channel for daily
uploads showing you how to do all of
that so the very first thing when you're
trying to go ahead and make sales on
your Instagram account is you need your
profile to be looking right you need to
have your profile look super trustworthy
ok if there's even any ounce of
sketchiness or an ounce of you know
something that might go wrong or that
you might be a scammer or anything like
that anything that puts disbelief and
friction between you and your potential
customer that is going to be a big no-no
and will result in a very very steep
drop in sales if not no sales at all you
can knock them off as sketchy
you cannot come off as a scammer you
have to come off as very trustworthy
very authentic and relatable ok so by
setting up your profile in this way and
the easiest way to do this is through
simple simple things for first off your
profile picture ok your default picture
on your Instagram should be something
nice close-up of your face makes you
look trustworthy makes you look like
somebody who's an actual person wasn't
gonna go and like take someone's money
and run off with it ok so make sure your
profile setup right people look at your
page and they feel like they kind of
know you and you could also help them to
know you through your Instagram bio ok
if you have a very plain and vague bio
you know people can't really make that
connection people can't really relate to
you in a certain way and that might turn
them off for making a sale so make sure
you go ahead and have that profile set
up you have your bio set up where you're
kind of you know kind of exposing
yourself exposing a little bit about
yourself becoming relatable so people
can build a basically online connection
with you now it is about branding and
positioning yourself ok a lot of people
don't make sales because they're trying
to promote products they haven't branded
themself for it ok it's like me trying
to go ahead and launch some
informational product on you know how to
grow a Twitter account when I've made no
video
are giving no value or show know none of
my knowledge about Twitter it wouldn't
make sense the product will just flop
and it's the same thing for a lot of
people on Instagram a lot of you guys
are selling products that don't match
your audience and that don't match what
you've built your brand around okay if
you've built your entire brand around
fashion and now you're trying to sell
some fitness supplement because it's
gonna make you a quick buck and it has a
super easy affiliate program or
something like that it's never gonna
work
okay need to sell some of this within
your niche some that that solves your
industry's problem okay on top of that
it's all in the way that you brand and
position yourself okay you have to
position yourself as the leader within
your niche or as a leader of whatever
whatever you're trying to promote okay
it's all about how you position yourself
okay that's really what it comes down to
people need to perceive you as the
person to go to for the problems they
have and when you have a product for the
problem they have and they view you as
that person to go to they view you as
that leader that is where your branding
that is where your positioning comes
down and when people start thinking of a
topic let's start thinking of your name
when you do that correctly people won't
think twice about going through you to
get a certain product that they need you
also must tell your story effectively
through post when you're just posting up
a picture and you're going ahead and
you're just putting you know some quick
little captions just because you have to
that's really not going to be good okay
you have to get super personal on the
post whether it's reposting a piece of
viral content a repost in your own
content you kind of have to go through
you know that whole process of when that
content was created you know what kind
of happened there you know tell the
story behind it and get personal with
your followers you know what happened in
your life that day this all just builds
up relatability builds up the connection
you have between your followers and
makes them more likely to buy from you
because they feel like they know you
okay people really buy much much more
when they feel like they know you and
they feel like you know they can
actually get ahold of you then if you're
just you know some plain business with
some you know just white-faced entity
and nobody really sees you just like
kind of like another corporation the
worst thing you can do is say your
Instagram account up as if you're a big
business corporation because people
aren't relating to that anymore that
doesn't work anymore okay if the
personal relationships that you can
build are what is going to work and
every single time you have a chance to
go and tell that story through your
posts for example you should take full
advantage of doing so and take full
advantage of building up that connection
and then by the end what someone has
read that entire post and gone through
they are much more warmer to you which
makes them a warm lead and more likely
to buy now one of the best things you
can do is if you want people to hit your
profile and immediately go ahead and
check out your product you know a lot of
people think oh I'll just throw up this
link in the bio here and people are just
definitely check it out if I put that
pointing down emoji sure that gets
clicks but it's more effort than that
okay again whatever
everybody's doing never works okay what
everybody does never works it's always
mediocre so you need to go above and
beyond and one thing that you can do to
go above and beyond is to have your pen
stories basically be set up as a sales
video that are telling a story right so
you have your pin stories and one the
first one should definitely be not
selling anything and completely about
your life and building up personal
connections that is what the first thing
should be there could be about 10 to 20
posts in there the next one could be you
know about the product that you're using
right this will be the product you're
selling but have yourself using it have
yourself using it and what it does for
you and all this stuff then the next pin
story can be results that have gotten
from it whether that's you know people
you've sold the product to or anything
like that just results from the product
and then the last one should be a lot of
calls to actions to the product and that
is an easy way to go ahead and get
someone from hitting your profile and
selling them and getting them as a
customer on the first day because you've
taken them through on your stories this
whole sales process they've gotten to
know you they've seen the product you
used they've seen the results that the
other people have gotten with it and now
they have the opportunity to go ahead
and get that product and you're just
probably gonna make a lot more sales see
how much more effective that is then
going ahead and just dropping a link in
your bio dropping a link in your bio is
completely [ __ ] compared to having a
sales video shown through Instagram
pinch stories another really easy way to
go ahead and make more sales or have
more people go through you instead of a
competitor is to simply see a is to
simply see a problem that your customers
have and provide a solution to that that
nobody else does in simple words provide
something that nobody else is doing that
actually helps your customer even more
now another easy easy way to go ahead
and get more customers is to simply give
something away for free I know weird
right you have to give stuff away to
actually obtain a customer it's
interesting how much this stuff works
you know so always give away something
for free because when you give away
something for free you have the chance
to show off your knowledge you have the
chance to show off your expertise and
people will see like hey you know this
guy really knows
[ __ ] I'm gonna buy whatever it is that
he's selling I want to buy this because
he's promoting it however that goes for
example you know I create these videos
for free these and YouTube videos are
all for free now what I could do is I
could take all these YouTube videos and
go ahead and drip feed it into a
mastermind charge 99 bucks per month for
it and upload one video every single
week I could do that but instead I
upload here for free so always give away
something for free and hey if you want
to do that if you want to do you know
instead of promote posting videos like
this for free
IG TV or whatever it is that you're
doing you could do the mastermind that's
fine
but always go ahead and give something
away for free even if it's just an
e-book because you have to give yourself
the chance and give people the chance to
see that you know your stuff then
they'll go in and they'll buy your
actual paid stuff if you follow those
tips you'll be making a ton more sales
on Instagram I'm building way stronger
connections with your followers okay so
make sure you go ahead and implement all
this stuff for those of you guys who
want to learn exactly how to grow on
Instagram and how to make it sort of a
full-time business just like I have just
