How I scaled this IG account from 0 to 2000+ followers

With NO AI, COMPLETELY ORGANIC Secrets revealed ;)

The link of my account is at the bottom… but read the story first ;)

Starting off 2023 after my boards... I was immersed... into learning.

I was getting up at 4 30 am at that time, doing my studies for Class 11 (the first thing in the morning)

Actually, it was summer, so easier to wake up 🦁 Studying straight with POMODORO for 4 hours straight and then, eating breakfast, talking with Ma & Baba (though Baba rarely talks 😔 or laughs freely 😂)

Anyways after basic stuffs are over... I would get up and then... take my old laptop (This laptop has its history... this is 5 years old HP PROBOOK 💻👴 used by my father... He didn't buy me a new one, because I had 'boards')

I would take my old laptop to the 1st floor... add the charger irrespective 100 % or 50% charge (because I hate getting up when I'm in flow).

And now, I have my playlist made.

Pure SMM.
And all the videos watched in 2x.

I used to carry a notebook to write down my thoughts.

ALL OF MY POSTS ARE MY OWN WRITINGS. NONE OF IT, EVEN A SINGLE ONE IS AI-GENERATED!

Now I feel like a donkey… becuase I could have used AI and saved sooooo much time :D 🫏

I learn how to use CANVA LIKE A PRO.

And after templates of all my posts were ready. All that it took was to fill in the {my quote} section of the template.

It took me around 30 minutes to make 10 quotes (because adding color background on important texts takes time)

But the worst time taking part was yet to come...

SCHEDULING.

I had a tough time finding the right software.

Finally after trying Buffer, Hootsuite & others... I'm very satisfied with SocialChamp. I am still using this for my LinkedIn posts. 😀

And the best part... I used to keep track of how much time I was spending... for posting these 1 week.

I needed to do hashtag research and competitor analysis before that.

And I averaged around 30 minutes for a week of my post. Lastly, engaging with others. In my case, engaging with other quotes pages.

The problem with Instagram is that the shelf life of a post is basically around 24 hours. So, things get stale early :)

And the last part of the masterpiece...

GIVING TIME => PATIENCE.

PATIENCE + CONSISTENCY + DISCIPLINE = RESULT.

I stayed consistent, experimented & carried out the tasks with discipline for the next 4-5 months.

And that's how I got the result ;) It was amusing to watch 10 followers increasing every day... And then, after a month, it was 600+ in total.

And after the 5th month... I hit 2k. 😭😭😭 So, that's my story :)

MONEY EARNED = 0

PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE GAIN = LOTS!!!

Uff!... that was a hell of a true story. wasn't it?
