Alright guys.. So…. Instagram. Let’s talk about it. It is a tool Alright. And I think you should be using it as such. Stop getting on instagram, posting stupid photos, haha, and thinking of it as a simple social media app. It is the NEW networking tool, and can bring you so many connections and opportunities. Because here’s the truth. People judge you based on your IG. You can create a vibe on there. For mine I have tried to cultivate the “travel” guy. The guy who travels the world, nomadic, has a good time, enjoys life. It’s not all that I am. I actually have two instagrams. One is JUST for dating and networking. The other is the real me. It’s my thoughts, my real connections, and more unfiltered. One is literally for random people I meet on the street. Girls. It’s for networking.

I have gotten so many “opportunities” from IG. I can meet a girl for 2 minutes, shoot her my ig, and instantly she’s intrigued. Who is this guy? Why is traveling? What does he do? She’ll see that I’m with cool friends. She’ll see I’m a cool guy. Safe. Fun.

Now of course IG can’t get you laid, you have to actually be cool, but it’s a foot in the door, and saves you a bunch of time.

I have literally met girls for 5 minutes. Had them follow me on ig. They followed my stories for a long time. And randomly, I’ll ask if I can go over to their house or if they want to hang out at mine, and since they feel like they know me from my stories, they say yes. They know im cool.

That’s not always going to happen of course. BUT it’s possible.

It can work with making new guy friends too. Works the same way. It’s just effective. It’s a funnel for new connections to your life.

Here are some quick tips to get your instagram lookin sharp:

1 don’t have a bunch of group photos on there.

If you want your IG to be average and a normal one, sure go ahead. But if you’re reading this I assume you want a better one. The point im trying to make is don’t just put anything on there or anyone.

I know this is all kind of shallow, but it works. If it’s a photo of a bunch of your boys, it’s not very attractive. It’s just a bunch of dudes. Compare that to a photo of you and maybe 1 or 2 friends, lookin sharp, dressed up, on the beach or doing something really cool like travel, or some adventure sport.

The point is you want to stand out. Take it serious. Just give it some effort. Don’t think of it as some account, rather a brand.

I’m not saying become a creator or invest loads of time, just some thought. Realize the value of the account.

2 Pick a niche or theme, or certain vibe.

Are you an artist? Creator? Traveler? What are your hobbies? Be known for something. Maybe something creative. Maybe you could brush up on content creation and make some videos. Or just use capcut. They literally have drag and drop templates for trendy reels.

It honestly doesn’t even have to be perfect. I was a videographer for 5 years. One of the main things I learned was that ANYTHING can be made to look cool. With the right editing you can make a day at the park look cool.

And not to get too hippie on you, but life is beautiful. Just document it. That’s the key. It doesn’t have to be fake or manufactured.

That leads me to #3 Get into the habit of documenting cool moments of your life. Some might be opposed to this. I’m not saying ruin moments. But in the middle of one, realize the value of it and capture.

Anyways I can’t think of any more tips, but whatever your life is, how can you document it and make it look cool? That’s the key.

Hope you gained some value from this. Leave a comment w any questions
