Hi Everyone,

I recently created an Instagram a few days ago with just a sill thought/idea.

So far here's what I did:

- posted really great content
- made a landing page offering a free product if they join the waiting list (very vague about the product, because I actually don't have any)

And surprisingly as of right now, have 11 people who signed up for the waiting list with over 200 real followers as well.

So basically I have a brand but no product. Pretty strange!

Any advice? Thanks!

I can get you paid on that traffic, bro.

I'm @whealthandpower on Instagram.

Maybe we can collaborate on some $HIT.

Hey man! Wouldn't I literally need to have thousands followers to be considered "traffic"?

Thanks!

I think you should grow your account before trying to monetize it as it will kill your engagement and deter potential customers to follow you (I'd rather follow a page stuffed with good content (pull) than an empty shell filled with CTA (push)). You don't have a product, I don't know why you are capturing leads as it will impact your growth.

Wouldn't say I'm necessarily pushing anything via the posts. The landing page link is in the bio while I just publish the content.

Nice, I would suggest two things:
  1. Create the product/solution, ask for feedback
  2. Scale it, the same way or even better

Thanks Marek.

I'm getting comments like "Do you ship to the UK?" & "Where do I sign up?"

Really hoping to at least create a product soon, even if I make one sale.

200 Instagram followers is like $200 Rep dollars.
I'm fully aware of that

(and I'm going to work towards better content)

Also at 300 followers now since my last update. Not a whole lot, but still a consideration.
