Be the Business

In about four weeks I went from having a brand new account to having more followers than the biggest rival company in my niche. They have been in business 10 years and have had an active Instagram account since 2013. Doing this Instagram challenge has been a great experience for me. When I started this my attitude was: “Instagram? I don’t really get it”. Now I am posting to my account regularly, enjoying the engagement with others, and better understanding the concept and possibilities of the platform. I was even noticed by some large companies and niche celebrities. It helped that we were doing it together as a group because I was able to watch what others were doing for ideas and inspiration. *Thank you* Fernando for allowing me to participate in this challenge and also to all you rockstars for inspiring me!

I used to have an Instagram before and find it too difficult to manoeuvre that I quit-- I just don't get it! Looking back, I realized that I have been doing Instagram wrong. But after this course, I have a close to 3k followers in less than a month. Not only that, I have built a good rapport with my followers. Now, my IG account has become not only a "promotion" tool but a research tool as well. I am currently researching and planning another IG account for another niche in preparation for the holiday merchandise and sales promos. And yes, I am doing the tested and proven successful ways in Fernando's course. Guys, this course is worth the money!

This is a great course! My kids make fun of my lack of instagram skills and were seriously doubting that a course would help me. Totally proved them wrong! Fernando makes it easy to follow. I had a ton going on during the course (kid birthday, milestone birthday for me, trip out of the country) and I was still able to follow along and gain followers/see results. This course works! It helps that Fernando is down to earth and genuinely interested in seeing each student succeed.

Although I signed up for an Instagram account several years ago just to grab my brand name, I never posted - or even got on to see what it was all about. So when Fernando offered the Instagram Challenge course, I knew I needed to participate because I didn't know what the heck I was doing. I am so happy that I participated! I learned about the importance of building a following, and how to do it properly. The types of posts that get the most engagement. Tools & Techniques to make your account grow more efficiently. In a few short weeks I went from ZERO followers to almost 2500, and I continue to follow the method that Fernando taught us to continue my account's growth. Having a group of like-minded friends also made it very enjoyable for celebrating goals, and sharing tips and words of encouragement while we were all learning together. It's well worth the time and effort to build your marketing channel on Instagram. I highly recommend this course for the Instagram newbie, or someone who wants to refine their Instagram skills.

I had previously tried to cr. eate an IG account and got a max of 78 followers. It never went past that. I joined Fernando's challenge as I was curious to see what would happen and was blown away by the practical action oriented steps. He made it look easy and IT WAS!. I made a new account and went from 0 to over 500 in the first week of the challenge. By the end of the challenge I had close to 2K followers in an account that I never thought would take off. Most people say pick one the big niches - fashion, fitness; Fernando says pick something that you know about since the content will keep them coming back. I did that and my account kept growing and growing. I was entertained and entertaining my followers. They were interacting with me and I had followers who were comming daily on my post. Fernando definitely knows how to grow an IG account and without his advice I would have given up again.

Took this course under Fernando knowing literally nothing about instagram or how to use it. Even with a full time job and working odd hours I was able to actively grow my targeted instagram followers. Each day brings new learning challenges and the course is structured as a challenge to help drive you toward meeting your goal. I'm still using the processes today.
