what's up guys today we are talking how to grow your social media so as always let's find a beautiful location and start talking about this alright guys so let's jump straight into it I'm gonna give you guys six tips the three social media platforms I use Instagram snapchat and YouTube Instagram is the one that I have the most experience on but snapchat in YouTube I feel as I'm really you know gang into the rhythm of things so Instagram I started like in 2012 a solid four years ago and within maybe six weeks or eight weeks

I had twenty five thousand followers on a personal account then you might think that's pretty good but back in the day that's just sort of how it was if you had any common sense and you knew the landscape of it it wasn't too hard to do now I have I'm coming up to 600 subscribers on YouTube within like three months which I'm pretty happy about and my snapchat stories get roughly a hundred and fifty views you know per story posts and I get a really good engagement on there I'm loving that platform right now so

guys Before we jump in these six tips I just want you to know if you want to become a youtuber a good Instagram or a good you know blow up on snapchat the one thing I need you understand is that it takes so much patience so much dedication so much time that if you're going into this thinking that you know within a month I'm gonna have a hundred thousand YouTube subscribers let me tell you that's not gonna happen unless you get an immense shout out or one of your videos goes viral viral that's simply not

gonna happen so I want you to go into this knowing that it's gonna take time and you know maybe you might want to try it for a month and see whether it's actually worth the time because as I said this is an investment in yourself but like all great things in life it takes a lot of work and the reward is also really good so let's jump in to tip number uno alright guys so my first tip which is more practical you know these six tips will either be practical or more along the lines of

how you live in so my number one tip is this is for Instagram go on a hashtag that concerns you for example I might go on hashtag FitLife I'll go on hashtag FitLife I'll look at the most recent I'll scroll down I'll like and then I'll leave a comment and I'll do this for maybe half an hour an hour but here is the thing as here is the one thing I need you to understand and the one thing I need you promise me you'll do you know in order to get the results and that is

show genuine appreciation you know don't just go on there and be like cool cool picture show genuine efficient genuine appreciation another reason I do this is so I can understand the market I can understand the nuances of it and what's in demand what's not and I can understand the community in which I'm living in better so show genuine appreciation don't just be spammy and you know use this as a way to understand what people are looking for right now tip number two is just incredibly simple and that's answer your DMS reply to comments when people

snapchat you snapchat them back I mean people want to know that you care and you know if your reach isn't that big then you have absolutely no excuse as to why you wouldn't I have like fit whatever 13k Instagram followers daily I get a lot of lost snapchats and I probably get 10 comments per video I always respond to people no matter what even if it takes me a couple days because I'm preoccupied with other things I want you to know that I care every single time someone had to me on snapchat I send them

a personalized thank-you message I say thank you for staying up-to-date with my journey and you know if you ever need anything I'm here for you show people that you care alright guys so while I was filming this I bumped into a guy on a Vespa behind me I actually asked him if he needed me to move but turns out he's a photographer videographer his name is Gabriel so he's actually gonna make an appearance and tell you guys his top tips for social media so let's jump into it alright so what would you say keeps you

authentic keeps you original what's your what's the way in which you do it all so familiar we are something new maybe all of us of different opinion on things you see this rediff antagonizing so always try to capture picture you said in your head and that's your signature take a different angle than you've seen it before try to capture something which haven't been done before but still staying in any format where people who like it don't go like crazy and exactly yeah so guys one thing that he does I mean everyone does selfies not too

many people do jumpy's so that's sort of his thing and I think that's yourself you Gentiles no one stand out not one selfie on his Instagram and that's that's pretty cool I think that's a pretty athletic and interesting idea so what would you say is what really what do you enjoy most or what got you into photography and videography the most is to me as a photographer you get access so you can go wherever you want I do festivals fashion shows rather than celebrity I do many things you gaining an access but also most of

all I enjoy shooting portraits because you see the face once you see that face you've captured that particular moment it stays there forever and it is to me that that's photography you see that's when you capture someone and they like it enjoying it and you're proud of your product that's to me that's your harvest yes sir guys just building on that you know if you're gonna start an Instagram make sure you have the sort of passion or you understand why you're doing it in the same way that he does understand what you're trying to capture

and what you're trying to achieve with it so last question for you what do you think makes a good snapshot it's not shudder oh sure Don't Tell sure all right and I think he's got such a fair point there you know if you're making your breakfast stone pointed to your face and say I'm making breakfast show what you're making and the same applies for YouTube I think that's just a very wise thing to say so thanks a lot for one more thing guys whatever you do be out thinking be you don't try to be someone

else don't want to be Johnny you know anyone else be you this when people see on either side on the Instagram snapchat anywhere else they see a human being another person which they want to follow they fall in love with so just be you post nice picture think about it if you like it yourself you will say this is for me and that's the that's that's the key point to be the biggest critic of yourself be the biggest critic okay thanks a lot all right guys so tip number three is play To Your Strengths know

what you're good at and exploit it if you're incredibly funny do that if you're extremely knowledgeable show that if you're extremely motivating speak in such a way I know that the message I spread gets people off their ass and you know chasing their dreams so I'm going to exploit it you don't have to be one thing but you have to be known for thing and most people are so find what you're good at and do it as much as you can quite simply feature it as much as you can on your YouTube on your Instagram

and on your snapchat alright guys so tip number four is always look for ways in which you can improve your quality obviously on snapchat that's not really applicable the iPhone front and back facing camera will always remain the same but on YouTube always look for ways to improve now don't get me wrong don't buy a $5,000 setup to begin with start with just your phone then move up to a pocket camera then maybe a cheap DSLR and then maybe a year after that get more expensive lens the reason I've stepped up so quickly is just

because all the money I've made from personal training online coaching you know packages I've taken all of that and I've just reinvested it and to me it was something that was worth it so you know don't use that as an excuse always work with what you've gone but still look for ways to strive and improve your quality okay so tip number five is don't be afraid to be different now I'm not saying post anything that's genuinely embarrassing or crude but what I'm saying is don't be afraid to stand out if you know you have a

message you want to say and you're afraid people are gonna think it's wack or it's crazy just say it guys the mundane it gets completely ignored you know if you just want to post a nice happy vlog yeah you'll get to your goals but you need to have a little bit of punch to it it has to have like that little extra bit of flavor so you know that's why I'm Instagram and here I'm talking about things like how I believe that education system is just completely screwed up how I don't think you need to

go to college to achieve the goals and I think it's not even the best route is not to even go to college you know just like very sort of edgy topics like things people want to have quite a neutral point of view on because they don't want people to hit on them for me I take it on board because that's just a way for me to express my individuality and it's a way for you to sort of wake up and realize you know this isn't just some mundane boring vlog so you know never be afraid

to speak what's on your mind alright guys so last tip is jump the hell on snapchat get on snapchat as soon as you can if you're an influencer if you're trying to get your you know grow your audience and grow your reach jump on snapchat ASAP now let me tell you why every every platform has a different dynamic to it and I generally think that jackass snapchat has one that has never been seen before you get such an intimate and close experience with you know the influencer the YouTuber the Instagrammer so on my snapchat you

get to see what I'm really like you get to see the nitty gritty behind the scenes stuff as well as snapchat is perfect for nowadays because it's punchy it is super quick no more than whatever 10 15 second videos 10-second photo you you get people's attention I mean when I look through my story I can see from the beginning of the day to the end I start off with maybe like a hundred 70 180 and at the end of the day I still have 180 so maybe the twelve the 12 snaps I've posted in a

24 hour window people are looking at all of them the engagement and the retention on snapchat is incredibly high it's amazing and snapchat is the fastest growing social media right now and if you think you can't do anything with snapchat trust me guys you can if you want your followers to love you and to really get to know your personality jump on snapchat and show what you really like and show them why they should love you and what they should keep following your journey so guys those have been my six tips plus another one from
