00:00:01.000So when it says offer premium content, what does this mean?
00:00:04.000So let's say, for example, you're good at a hobby, a task, maybe a skill, right?
00:00:10.000And people come to your page for content, right?
00:00:12.000Well, some things you can't show because if you show it on your page, either it's going to get you banned or it might be a bad look in that sense, but it will help people by giving them some value.
00:00:22.000So what you do is you create a subscription service on your page to post things that you don't want to post on your regular public page.
00:00:30.000So, we have one as well for Fresh and Fit Podcast, if you don't want to bring it up on the screen.
00:00:34.000And you get to see behind the scenes of what we can't...
00:00:39.000We show you guys on our Fresh and Fit Podcast page, what we can't show you mainly on public stories.
00:00:46.000So, for example, you can post a story that only your subs can see, and as a result, only people that are paid subs can see that content, which means all the inside members that want to get the first jump, or, for example, the behind-the-scenes or the not-so-safe for Instagram can see it By being a sub to your actual page.
00:01:06.000Now, for the average person, you can do it as well.
00:01:31.000For example, you can set tiers based on the value that you bring.
00:01:35.000So we have tiers basically for regular content, extreme content, and If you know what I mean.
00:01:42.000I think personally, for the average person, if you've got some value to add, make a sub to your Instagram because at that level, it's simple, easy to set up, and for the most part, anyone can do this part.
00:01:55.000Now, the marketing part of getting people to actually sub to your channel is you adding value and marketing yourself to a wide audience, and I can be through YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, doesn't matter.
00:02:05.000The point is, subs can add massive value very easily to your channel, especially if you've got a following already.
00:03:31.000And it's because it's wasted their time.
00:03:33.000Guys, they want to market to the best audience possible, and depending on the brand, for example, Ridge Wallet, or maybe Tee Hanley, or maybe, for example, what's the other one with the wipes for your ED? Oh, Bluetooth?
00:06:04.000But yeah, guys, Sponsor Post is one of the most well-known, but for the most part, anyone can do it, but you got to reach out yourself sometimes.
00:06:12.000By the same time, you got to have value added so that they want to actually work with you, right?
00:06:15.000And we are live on Rumble, by the way, guys, as well.
00:06:17.000So we're live on Twitch, Twitter, Rumble, and Facebook.
00:06:59.000But you're able to do it on Instagram.
00:07:01.000And then for content that you're already more than likely going to make anyway.
00:07:04.000And then number two is sponsor content, which, you know, you're going to have to have somewhat of a following there between $1,000 to $10,000.
00:07:09.000We're talking specifically for men, right?
00:07:11.000For women, you might have to have more because, let's be honest, girls a lot of the times have vanity metrics where they get a lot of followers.
00:07:18.000Did you post to Fresh and Fit or myself?
00:07:32.000And then part two was, you know, you gotta have a little bit of a following and then make posts and then you can earn somewhere between $250 to $750.
00:07:38.000And we talk about how to find sponsors on our course, getdamsonamand.com.
00:07:53.000So for example, I mentioned this could be like Patreon or Locals.
00:07:56.000That's great and all, but most people are going to be on Instagram anyway.
00:07:59.000So if you create a sub-channel for them to follow, then it's better because they're going to be on there anyway, and that by itself is going to give you more people to spend money on your channel for Instagram.
00:08:08.000Alright, number three is going to be video ad revenue.
00:08:12.000Guys, there's videos all over the internet, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, TikTok, but now you can make money from Instagram as well.
00:08:22.000There's Reels, Stories, IGTVs, and Instagram Live.
00:08:43.000So we're going to add some value as well.
00:08:45.000Reels came out relatively recently, like within the last two years, and it was to combat the emergence of TikTok.
00:08:50.000And if you notice now, when you post a video on Instagram, it's automatically a reel for the most part.
00:08:55.000So they want to get into the action too as well, like TikTok.
00:08:58.000But Reels can get you paid from companies.
00:09:00.000For example, like YouTube, they pay you to put ads in your video.
00:09:03.000Same thing with TikTok and also Instagram as well now.
00:09:06.000Reels give you the option to put company ads into your Reels.
00:09:09.000You get paid per company ad and views as well.
00:09:12.000So once again, guys, Reels, man, and this can be as simple as you doing a hobby, a task that you like to do, or for example, you just show your lifestyle.
00:09:20.000So I know guys that do Reels about fitness, do Reels about, for example, making Food.
00:09:26.000It doesn't matter what it is, guys, but Reels can make you money in real time.
00:09:30.000And sometimes they ask you if you want to be a part of the Reels program or you can request it yourself.
00:10:48.000They want to be too much delved into a video.
00:10:51.000So my thing is that you can make money from this too for ad revenue, but it's not as much as reels and it's not as hot and they don't promote as much.
00:10:57.000IGTV is a good move if you're a YouTube content creator.
00:11:01.000Then you can go ahead and repurpose your YouTube stuff and put it in clip format on IGTV. We've thought about doing it ourselves, but like I said before, me and Fresh use Instagram more for networking purposes, but you can absolutely turn your Instagram into a moneymaker as well, guys.
00:11:14.000I think you guys are starting to see a trend here where Me and Fresh don't care about necessarily monopolizing and making money on every single thing we can.
00:11:21.000Our thing is we're way more concerned with giving y'all value and giving you guys good content versus using our content to push you into some kind of situation where we're getting y'all to pay for something.
00:11:30.000Right now, of course, we have DMs on Man Open.
00:12:06.000You had to be, the only way to make Instagram like a year or two ago or a couple years ago was being a thought and, you know, getting sponsored people to put some stupid ass tea in your post.
00:12:14.000That used to be the only way to really make money on Instagram.
00:12:18.000We need to help people make money because they're prioritizing TikTok, they're prioritizing YouTube, etc.
00:12:22.000So now they're like, all right, we got to be a platform that you can actually make money on the platform, which is good for y'all because that allows you to leverage it to make money.
00:12:30.000We prefer to use it how it was intentionally made, which is like a social networking app.
00:12:34.000But it's a great way to make money as well, especially for you YouTubers out there, man, that make longer form content.
00:12:58.000However, there's powerful incentives in stories because with stories, right, most people go to your page, you see your bubble, or what's he posting today?
00:13:15.000Usually I would only do it with 10k, but now anyone can do it, which is a good point.
00:13:19.000Which made it more accessible to everyone now.
00:13:21.000But for example, we post a link to our channel on YouTube on Instagram so you guys can see up our shows or for example, we have a guest in the studio.
00:13:30.000So these product links, for example, let's say you have a friend that does, I don't know, He has protein shakes.
00:13:36.000He has, for example, I don't know, maybe a new workout outfit or jeans or maybe a fashion designer.
00:13:44.000The point is that you can post on your story, post a link to his product page and get paid for it.
00:13:49.000The point here, guys, is you can post links on your stories and redirect your audience to the website to get paid.
00:13:56.000So my thing, guys, with stories is you can use it any way you want to.
00:13:59.000Affiliate products, your products, or your website.
00:14:02.000The point is stories are powerful because people go to your page.
00:14:44.000Which is why, if you guys notice, we barely marketed DMs on demand this time, even though it's Black Friday and everything else and everyone being incentivized.
00:14:50.000It's like, bro, if y'all want it, it's there.
00:14:51.000If you don't want it, it is what it is.
00:15:11.000Even between our affiliates and everything else like that, I would say probably, what, maybe less than 10% of our content, we have 1,500 plus videos, is anything where we're pitching you guys.
00:17:45.000If you sub to someone's channel that you're a fan of or a supporter of, they're going to see A purple mark with the sub sign next to your name.
00:17:55.000So when you send a DM to that person, you stand out.
00:18:50.000So, Alfred, man, I think, personally, the best two are Reels, Instagram Live, and if I want to go to, to, like, put sometimes out some content and some links, stories.
00:19:52.000This is where most OG influencers on Instagram made their money by posting themselves with some stupid 50 or something like that.
00:19:59.000This works the best if you're a thotty and you got a good following and a lot of them get sponsored.
00:20:03.000But if you're a dude, you're going to have to have at least 1,000 to 10K followers and have something special about you to be a content creator and make money.
00:20:08.000You can make somewhere between $250 to $750 per post.
00:20:11.000This is the traditional way to make money on Instagram.
00:20:48.000What's going to happen is people are going to start to unfollow you or they're going to start to mute you and you're not going to get as much reach because people are going to start to the Instagram algorithm is going to start to detect that.
00:21:02.000A lot of people do that shit on their stories.
00:21:03.000You notice, you go through, you see a bunch of people with their ads, and, yo, buy my course, blah, blah, blah, and they keep spamming that shit.
00:21:08.000That shit is annoying, which is why we don't typically do that to y'all.
00:21:11.000Hey, Tommy, why don't you unfollow me?
00:21:15.000And then the last one is IG Live, which is a relatively new feature, again, to combat TikTok, where people are able to buy badges and communicate with you.
00:21:23.000And I didn't even know this, but when you have a badge, and you DM that person, you go higher up on the total post.
00:21:56.000In your inbox, there's primary, general, and then premium subscribers, which means they can actually go to that section and see, okay, who's in there?
00:22:08.000And trust me when I say it, I respond to it, which means they probably will too as well.
00:22:32.000That's where we live in the United States Capitalistic Society, right?
00:22:34.000And if you want to go ahead and network with someone that has a large following where their time is limited to a degree, One way to stand out is you got to pay.
00:22:42.000A lot of the times, guys, to get in a room with certain types of individuals, you got to fucking pay money.
00:22:46.000I hate to say it, but people that are successful and or millionaires or have some kind of status or whatever, they purposely put up high paywalls up so that only the elite can deal with them.
00:23:08.000They want to keep things exclusive to a degree.
00:23:09.000And when you're paying for something, they're going to be more financially inclined to respond to you.
00:23:13.000So that's also an important note that if you send a DM to someone when you're a subscriber versus not, they're going to want to work with you more or respond to your message.
00:23:21.000You get a higher likelihood of them responding.
00:25:19.000StoryPost, for example, is what Batman Cavill does, Mr.
00:25:22.000Organic Shelter to them, and other creators in the space, Jimmy Smacks as well.
00:25:26.000What they do is they say, hey, I'm going to post on my story a sponsored post saying, guys, if you want me to repost your story, I charge $250.
00:26:08.000If I got a million followers on my Instagram, right, and I post you on my page, at least a third of that is going to see your posts and say, wait, who is this person?
00:26:30.000And by default, you get money because, listen, You might be the best carpenter, the best YouTuber, the best singer, but if no one knows who you are, it don't matter, bro.
00:26:42.000So, why have you struggle when I can pay somebody to get to their audience And get a story post.
00:26:50.000Because what happens is, I'm getting the audience professional costs and time, and I'm getting value right away.
00:26:57.000So guys, story posts are powerful for both things.
00:26:59.000Yo, that's understated what Fresh just said.
00:27:01.000I'm gonna keep it all the way 1,000 with y'all right now.
00:27:04.000A lot of you motherfuckers, to start off, are gonna have to do that.
00:27:08.000A lot of you guys wanna be fucking cheapskates and not pay for promo or this other shit.
00:27:15.000Not everybody is going to hit the algorithm.
00:27:17.000A lot of the times, for you to get yourself out there and get your fucking foot in the door, you're going to have to pay way bigger creators than yourself for promo space, whether it's, you know, I know Batman Cabo does it, a fucking Shade Room.
00:27:31.000Luckily for us, we were able to do it organically on YouTube.
00:27:34.000We didn't have to do that because we don't give a fuck about Instagram like that.
00:27:37.000But if you guys want to go as far as making money, but if we wanted to, these are great tools that you can use to go ahead to get your name out there, guys.
00:27:45.000And this is honestly probably one of the main ways that a lot of you are going to have to go as far as getting your name out there, paying someone with a way bigger following to be put on their story.
00:27:55.000And you're going to have to do this frequently.
00:28:30.000But that is the big way that a lot of you guys are going to have to get your foot in the door is through paid promo, especially on Instagram, where it's dominated by women, bro.
00:28:38.000Like, unless you're a hot chick, you're not going to hit the algo as hard as these chicks.
00:28:42.000I've seen girls, bro, where, like, one or two thousand followers hit the Discover page with, like, 50k likes.
00:30:52.000I'm saying this to say, guys, if you do story posts, make sure that at least on some level, you have a path for them to follow after they come to your page.
00:31:00.000Don't just have your page with shitty pictures and say, oh yeah, come to my page!
00:31:59.000Unless you're advertising something that they might want.
00:32:01.000It might work for you if you're a male trainer and you want to go ahead and advertise to men.
00:32:04.000Well, maybe you can go ahead and advertise to her audience and they might want to get in shape.
00:32:07.000But wouldn't it be better probably to go to a male trainer that has a male audience and that's a little bit more of a warmer market that you go ahead and market yourself to.
00:32:14.000So you've got to be intelligent about who you buy a promo from.
00:32:16.000Also, you've got to look at the numbers.
00:32:18.000Do you want to tell the people real fast, give them a little bit more value as far as being able to detect someone that's worth buying stories from?
00:32:59.000Now, number two is going to be affiliate products.
00:33:02.000So, you can have a place where you can literally, like I said before, post your story links, but you can also post other people's products on your page.
00:35:40.000And then bam, now you got that promo with someone that might not necessarily do that type of content because you supported them from the beginning, you showed love, you added value, and a lot of times adding value is giving them that money up front, right?
00:35:49.000Letting them know that you're serious, okay?
00:35:51.000And I always say when you pay money, a lot of times people start to pay attention, and then bam, now you're able to go ahead and network and work with someone that you probably otherwise would have never been able to have access to, and you're able to go ahead and grab a market share online.
00:36:03.000Of their audience, if you know what you're doing and you're able to strategically do this in a way where you're not coming off as needy, you're coming off as adding value, and you're able to add some value to their audience, okay?
00:36:13.000Which is what's important a lot of times of having a similar niche.
00:36:16.000So, you know, you can incorporate some of these different strategies that we're teaching you guys here to go ahead and get yourself up there as far as, like, you know, getting some influence and getting some notoriety to your name.
00:36:26.000Because at the end of the day, man, in today's day and age, attention is the main commodity.
00:36:32.000So you can employ some of these strategies right now to get in touch with a creator that you may follow or whatever to go ahead and grab some of their market share.
00:39:17.000And the reason why, I'll be 100% transparent with you guys.
00:39:20.000On the new account that I have, because it's like my sixth Instagram account now, Unplugged FitLot, he goes, Marvin, you only got 128K followers on Instagram.
00:39:26.000Bro, I've had like six accounts taken down.
00:39:28.000So, on the ones that I had before, yes, I definitely did pay for some followers to give myself a boost, right, to get over that 10K mark, and then from there, it propelled me to go ahead And get the following up.
00:39:38.000Luckily, right, I'm in a unique situation where we went viral several times!
00:39:43.000And a bunch of angry Shaniquas came over to my profile talking shit!
00:39:45.000So that bumped me up in the algorithm, so I didn't have to do all that stuff.
00:39:48.000You know, I went viral a couple of times.
00:39:51.000But to get your foot in the door, right, to get your following up so that you look somewhat presentable, you're probably gonna have to buy followers.
00:39:57.000And then for a lot of you guys, you're gonna have to go ahead and buy, you know, promo from other creators that are much bigger than yourself.
00:42:35.000People with the hate that I didn't do it, I went as an authorized user under my parents' cards after the episode No Cap You Hate It For No Reason.
00:42:42.000Much love again, but question, will that help buy a house being an authorized user?
00:42:46.000No, but being an authorized user will increase your credit score, which will then help you secure a loan to buy a house.
00:42:52.000All you need to know is history now because two months is great for the score, but you need longevity of history now.
00:43:54.000If you're going to go ahead and help other truck drivers with maybe how to become a truck driver, how to become a better truck driver, how to make money or start a business on the side, that might work.
00:44:02.000But as far as getting hoes, sorry, it ain't going to help with getting purchased.
00:45:45.000Fresh is in a unique situation where he uses Instagram for both business purposes and getting girls because, like I said before, he conveys a certain lifestyle.
00:47:50.000If you guys follow a lot of the strategies between paying for promo, giveaways, etc., which we go into detail about all those things in the course, there's no way you're not going to grow your following significantly.
00:48:01.000It is going to take work because, once again, you're not a female, so you do not have the benefit of putting a picture of your ass and getting crazy engagement and getting put up on the Discover page.
00:48:59.000I don't think we can even do it now again.
00:49:02.000We have a connect, but yeah, you're going to have to pay some money and you're going to have to actually have a bunch of things in place to be able to do it, man.
