Summary
A creator walks through the exact five-step system he'd use to rebuild an Instagram account from zero: fix the profile, research proven viral content, rewrite it in his own voice, post six days a week, and review results after 72 hours. He claims running this loop for 90 days makes blowing up close to inevitable.
Core ideas
- Profile setup first: your handle is your name or business name, your profile name is your name slash your title, and your bio says who you help, how you help, and what they'll get.
- Research what's already viral: split your niche into five subtopics, search each one on Instagram and TikTok, and save anything with over a million views.
- Build a swipe file: drop saved links into Notion and note the hook, the idea, and the format, then work out why each one performed.
- Rewrite, don't copy: pick six of the saved posts and rewrite them using your own expertise so the content is yours.
- Volume beats polish: film the posts and publish Monday through Saturday without overthinking it.
- Review at 72 hours: check what hit, then double down on whatever performed best.
- Commit for 90 days: repeat the whole cycle for 90 days and, in his view, there's no reason you wouldn't blow up.
