Introduction

Let’s get this question out of the way first:

Why is this guide in written format? After all, it’s 2022!!

I realize that video content is all the rage nowadays, and most people are in awe with the flashiness of videos, but my aim with this guide wasn’t to merely impress or entertain you.

My aim is to give the best results in the shortest amount of time possible, for which you need clear-cut answers and easy-to-follow step-by-step workflows that you can implement in your own timing, while being able to navigate the content with ease – and video simply doesn’t allow that.

With videos you can only watch one frame at a time, forcing you to sit through hours of content that is perhaps irrelevant to you, and you never know when (and if) you’ll get to the juicy parts of the course that you’re actually looking for.

And if you go through a whole video course (like I’ve done many times and you perhaps as well), you’ll be hard-pressed to find the key frames within the video that actually gave you some valuable lessons afterwards.

Lastly, from a teacher perspective that has helped quite a few people reach their Instagram breakthrough, I simply find that watching videos gives you the illusion of doing something productive, when in reality you’re just taking in information – and too often it isn’t followed up by immediate action, which is a pity.

This guide has been specifically designed to lead you right into transformation, while you read it, so that by the time you’ve gone through everything, your Instagram account will already be transformed and all the strategies in the guide implemented!

This is why I chose a written format for most of the content – it gives you more control, takes less time to consume and in the end will even give you much better results. The only downside: it’s not as flashy.

Forgive me for being “old-fashioned” in this way, but I’m sure as you proceed through these chapters, you’ll come to appreciate this quick, productive, hands-on approach quite a bit.

That said:

Hi, this is Jonathan.

I’m the creator of the Instagram Growth Guide and I’ve already helped 1,000 Instagrammers turn their luck around and start making money from their passions with Instagram by growing a massive organic following in a short period of time and monetizing it.

If you want to learn more about my personal Instagram growth journey and how I took my own account from only 500 to over 100K real followers in less than a year, you can read the full story here:

Using Instagram To Make Money Doing What You Love

Now why should you even want to grow your Instagram account in the first place?

There are many reasons, but obviously, because you want to gain some benefit from it.

And perhaps the biggest benefit of all – apart from sharing content you’re excited about and amassing an engaged following – is to monetize your following and make a fortune doing what you love.

This is what I and many of my students have done, and also what you’ll be able to do in the very near future by following these step-by-step blueprints.

The recipe is simple:

Pick your passion, which can also be your business, if you have one.

Grow a strong following around it by applying the effective methods from the Instagram Growth Guide (of which you’re currently reading the first chapter, which is completely free).

And make money doing what you love by creating and selling your own passion-products or services or by selling the products and services of others.

The simple reason I recommend using whatever you’re passionate about for your Instagram account to attract an engaged following and make money is that it’s an absolute win-win!

You get to spend time on whatever brings you joy AND you get paid for it.

Believe me, there’s no better feeling than making your money doing what you love!

And since it’s so easy to grow your account once you got everything set up and the ball rolling – usually 30 minutes a day are all it takes to manage your account and grow it close to ten thousand followers a month organically – sky’s the limit with how much you can make just from crushing it on Instagram.

You may even be able to reach a 6-figure income in a relatively short period of time, if you follow this blueprint.

Now one final step before we get started:

How This Guide Is Structured

The From 0 To 1K+ Followers ASAP guide - also called the 1K+ - is divided into three main parts:

Part I: Preparation,

Part II: Action, &

Bonus: Tracking Your Growth & Analyzing Your Performance

In the Preparation part, we set up & optimize your account so that the subsequent growth methods in the Action part can generate the best results possible for your account.

Then, in Part II: Action, I introduce you to 15 effective Instagram growth methods, from which you can simply choose the ones you like the most to quickly get your account out of the low follower numbers and to 1K+ followers ASAP!.

In Bonus: Tracking Your Growth & Analyzing Your Performance I’ll introduce you to the growth tracking & analysis tools within your Instagram Growth Sheet and show you how to use them to further optimize your strategies.

To round everything out I’m going to give you an inside-look at my personal account stats, so you can see how my account @complete.self.knowledge performs compared to other accounts on Instagram that are not using the methods, to give you a clear picture of the incredible difference these strategies make.

This final chapter will surely be an eye-opener, when you see what’s possible for your own account – which is probably a lot more than you imagined – simply by applying the proven strategies of the Instagram Growth Guide.

Without further ado, let’s get hands on with Instagram, shall we?
