Propel with Gatorade Electrolites. Sublads, by the end of this video I will have taught you very quickly and systematically how to create a high status Instagram account. The reason why this is important. You want to be on Instagram right now. Tough. You have to. It's where the money's at. It's where the girls are at. It's where the opportunities are at. It is probably the biggest place online that you can improve and see massive benefits in your life. So let's break this down. Step by step. Let's make it simple. Just come through this video. I'll teach you exactly what to do. Back in the day, I didn't have a good IG either. I didn't. It took me about four years to learn this stuff and I'm going to just drop it all for you now. So just follow this step by step. Let's get your IG sorted. Let's get you a bit of push. Let's get you a bit of money. That's what this channel is all about. Your online presence. That's how you're judged basically. It's how you walk into the room. If you're no matter where you're at in life right now.

If that's not seen online, it doesn't exist. Most people live online. I'm not saying that's good. I think it's a bad thing. But it's just the world. Don't hate to play. Hate the game. You've got to learn to play the game. So biggest network until you have is Instagram. And 99% of you are fucking out. Like, you're odd looking at your Instagram. You're not going to be able to see it. You're not going to be able to see it. All you have is Instagram. And 99% of you are fucking out. Like, you're odd looking at your Instagram. And never message you back. That's 99% of people that message me on IG. Because the profile's not optimized. Then it doesn't build any trust. There's no attraction. There's no status. You've got to give people a little look into your life in a way that makes them think, oh, maybe I'd like to know this guy. And then you can use Instagram in the right way for women, for money, for business, for everything. Some of the richest guys in the world that have all the money. And you'd think, oh, they should just go off Instagram. Like, there shouldn't even be on there. They're just going to live their lives. That's probably what I'd do as well. But the big ballers in the world are focusing on personal brands. And I think the reason for that is, is purely the connections. If they're seen online, more business opportunities,

more abilities to meet celebrities, and other high network individuals. So they're all investing in this stuff. So if the top dogs are doing it, we should do it as well. Let's do the basics first. Let's just get this out the way. You basically want to have the username as your actual name, or as close as that as you can get. So if you've got any crazy shit in your Instagram username right now, that's the first one very simple. Just change that as close to your name as you can get. Or a name you want to be known by if you have an alias for your sort of personal brand. Next thing, private, you can't be on private. You've got to be a public profile. If I ever get a message from someone that's on private, even if I'm interested in the message, I can't find out anything about them. And I don't want to follow them to find out. So I don't reply to the message. And if you're going to use this as a tool with women, if you're going to use this as a tool for business networking or money, you've got to take it off private. Next thing, never create a new IG. You're current following the people that you have there right now. That's been bred over time. And those people, if you do turn to building a personal brand, they become your first customers.

There you're following. Never create a new IG. If you're going to create a personal brand, just archive your old posts. When it comes to archiving old posts, what I want you to do is go through your profile and just archive anything that doesn't have you looking your best. And you'll be like, but my profile is going to be empty. Yeah, we're going to tell you exactly what to put on the profile in a minute. But go through, look at your posts. Is that a picture you looking good or is that a picture you looking bad? Would you want the love of your life or an amazing business opportunity seeing that picture? If they, if you wouldn't want them seeing it, archive it right now, clean up the bottom of your Instagram, all that old stuff, clean that up. Another basic, get the blue tick. It's super cheap to get. People used to pay like 10 grand to get the blue tick. Now you can just sign up for the blue tick to get met a verified. This isn't a status thing. This isn't like trying to seem bigger than you are. This is just a fact of like, that's a verified profile. So if I get from a blue tick a message, I'm more likely to read it because I know that person is the person that they say they are.

They are. I know it's not a fake account. That's why blue tick's important. So drop them down, sort the username, take yourself off private, never create a new RG, take archival your old pictures and get the blue tick. There we go. We're already absolutely steaming ahead. Profile picture, no AI. I recently got a message from a guy who I'd actually DM before. I knew this guy has got a great profile, but he changed it to an AI picture of himself. And I didn't respond for ages because I didn't know who it was for starters. It didn't really look like him anymore. And two, I never really trust the AI picture. Because I'm like, if you don't have a picture of your real face, maybe it's like fake profile. So get rid of the AI or any animations or graphics or pictures where we can't see you in the profile. It has to be you. It has to be high quality. This is your first impression. Make sure it's a good one. This is absolute basics. So here's a couple of examples of good profile pictures. So you could take any of these profile pictures. It's my boy, Dora. It's my boy, Bill. That's me.

My boy, Robert Oliver. My boy, I'm on. But these are good examples of profile pictures. You want a high quality picture that shows your face, shows a little bit of status, shows that you're about it. So these are very simple. You just figure these out. You could go and get a little photo shoot done, which will run through later in the video. You want to take it on a high quality camera. But figure out what you're going to wear, who you want to be perceived as. Get a fresh trim. Get a good picture taken if you don't have one for the profile. Bio and description. A few examples. Iman just has his name and then public figures. Pretty cool because he's a big guy. He doesn't need to say too much about who he is. He's not using his IG really for business that much. It's just personal use. That's very simple. You don't just have that. Just have your name. And then whatever it says underneath. Mantis entrepreneur. Live fast. Don't wait. That's kind of my motto. What I live by. Get it now. Don't fucking wait around for it. Two ways to break free. And they lead to my two businesses. 10K accelerator for guys looking to make the first 10K online in high ticket sales.

And the new elite, my private network, my inner circle. Then you got Wes. Talks about exactly who he is. A bit of status on there. Telling you that he's got eight. Star Wars. The Mandalorian and Grogu is now streaming on Disney Plus. What are you waiting for? Hop on. The must-see galactic adventure comes home on Disney Plus. This is the way. Our only chance is to work together. Find life this game. Always wear your seatbelt. Star Wars. The Mandalorian and Grogu. Now streaming on Disney Plus. Wait, PG-13. Class it up with Crocs. You know back to school is coming in fast. So why wait to find your new faith footwear? Step into a local Crocs store and step into your new look. Try it. Try it. Style it. Make it yours. Because the right pair doesn't just show up. It shows off. First day fits.

Handled. Walk out ready for whatever's next. Visit your nearest Crocs store today. 5 million views on the YouTube. He's a best sell in Orphays, a worldwide coach. And then this is Robert Oliver's built in Seoul, multiple e-commerce brands before 30. So if you've got anything cool that you've done, stick it in the profile. If you're running a business, you're owner of a business. Put it in the profile. Otherwise leave it kind of blank or just a little phrase that you live by. That's a very simple way to do it. Don't have your girlfriend's name in there for fuck's sake. That's just infuriating me. I've just remembered that people guys actually have their girlfriend's names. And the heart in their bio. Get rid of that shit. It's fucking unprofessional. Same for like just some people's are way too hectic, way too busy. Or you've got some really weird stuff in there.

So just get rid of that. After you get down the profile. So we've worked through profile picture. You now know what you need to do. Take some notes on that. You know what you need to do for your bio. Then you're going to get to your stories archive. The little circles at the bottom. Each of these circles should show an area of your life. You can use this for business. If you've got a business make one that says your business name. And then you've got all of the business posts in that one. And people can click through that. Because when they come in your profile they want to get to know you. They check out stories. If you go through mine, check out my old stories when I first started personal brand. I was a dog. Maybe I still a dog now, but I was a complete dog. Go and check that out. But it's how people get to know you. So start archiving your best stories. If you put it out content every day, it makes sense to save it and have it on that line. So people can get to know you and your brand. I wouldn't bother with doing any of the cover photos these days. That was kind of a trend. I did it before as well. You'll see on my profile back in the day. But now I just use like the first story is a picture.

I try and make that a good one. And it just shows what they're getting into. And then you name them underneath. I wouldn't bother with putting the custom name on it. I wouldn't bother with putting the custom made graphics on them. I think that looks a little bit lame now. So how many pictures do you need? A lot of you be watching this and think, okay, I've got no pictures right now or I've got a couple of pictures. How many do I actually need? How much work is this going to take? You need a minimum of nine high quality pictures. And I would recommend if your Instagram beat super harsh with your Instagram right now. Get rid of all the bad photos. See how many you've got left. How to shoot the content? This is where most people have the problem. They haven't got any pictures of themselves. And that's because women in school and staff and the previous generations like why would you take a picture of yourself? That's vain or you and your boys are not just taking pictures of each other. Unfortunately in the business world and the way the world is going now, you have to have that online presence. So get your boys in on the game. Get your girl in on the game. They're the two biggest hacks right here. Send this video to your boys. Say look, we need to sort our Instagrams out.

It's going to help us make more money, get more girls. This is what I want you to do. Whenever you and your boys go to cool places, you go away on vacation, you go to restaurants, you go in luxury designer stores. Just make sure you're all on the same page. If you catch your boy doing something cool or looking good in a certain outfit, just snap some pictures on the iPhone, bam, bam, bang, pictures, cinematic mode, get a quick video of him. That's what you need to do because the candid stuff of your actual life works so much better than everything else. Best iPhone you can get right now, iPhone 15 Pro. I just got the Pro Max camera's unreal. That's all you need for content. If you've got money, that's going to be no problem. If you don't have money, use the best camera you can get your hands on. Also, a lot of my pictures on Instagram. The 15 Pro is basically all you need to get started. If you really want to go all out on personal brand, if you make money from it, invest in a DSLR. This is a Sony, I don't actually know what this is,

but you can probably figure it out. This is Sony Alpha series 4 or something like that. It takes amazing pictures and videos. That's all I know about it. But basically use your cinematic mode on iPhone, portrait mode. If you can, get some with a DSLR to shoot a couple of pics of you. Add some nice variation to the quality of your pictures. Lighting, don't shoot pictures with the lighting behind you. It's very simple. The lighting is behind you, it makes a silhouette. When the lighting is in front of you, you see yourself better. Sometimes it's worth just getting a photographer. I'm going to teach you what pictures you need to take and what content you need to get on your profile immediately. You can just decide to book a photographer. I think it's better to take a friend and a good iPhone personally. Because sometimes the photographers tell you to do poses and stuff and it looks all manufactured and fake. What shots do you actually need to build a high-status Instagram? This is what I recommend. This does take a bit of money. Try and work around it any way you can if you don't have money.

But if you do, you've got to show that you've got money on IG. Otherwise, people don't believe it's true. You don't get the opportunities if you don't have an Instagram that looks like this. So first one, solo candid. What this means is not looking straight at the camera. Mine first pinned post is me smoking us a guard looking off into the distance. High quality pinned post. That's your first one. Next shot. Get yourself in a luxury whip. This is building a high-status Instagram. It doesn't matter. You're not telling people that you own that car. Mine is a Lamborghini that I rented and to buy. I still don't think that's a problem. I didn't ever told anyone I bought the car. Rent out a nice car or if you've got a friend with a luxury whip, get some footage in it, drive it. Next one, a physique shot. We're all on that fucking dialed in lifestyle. You should be ripped. You should be fucking muscular. Show that on your profile. Show the fucking effort you've put into your body. If you haven't done that yet, if you don't have any money yet, that's where the work begins before this sort of Instagram stuff. That's the first three taken care of. Then we go to candid photo with girls. If you go to my Instagram profile,

you'll notice there's a picture of me on the phone. There's three girls in the background. My assistants. They can be assistants. They can be friends of yours that are girls. Get them together. Say you're going to do a little photo shoot. Get some friends of yours round. Hit a candid picture. You dress up looking good with girls in the... Class it up with Crocs. You know back to school is coming in fast. So why wait to find your new faith footwear? Step into a local Crocs store and step into your new look. Try it. Style it. Make it yours. Because the right pair doesn't just show up.

It shows off. First day fits. Handle. Walk out ready for whatever's next. Visit your nearest Crocs store today. Propel Fitness Water. With Gatorade Electrolites, Zero Sugar and Vitamins, Propel hydrates better than water. To help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self. What propels you? Propel with Gatorade Electrolites. Background. The reason you do this, if you show that you've been around girls, it shows that other girls trust you. And that's the pre-selection that a lot of women need to be able to respond to your message. So find a way to get your best self. So find a way of getting around some hot chicks and getting a candid photo. Next one, get suited up. Get a tailored suit made. Or if you've got a suit already stick it on, make sure it looks good. Go to a nice location. Get a picture of you, suit it up to show the business side of you. Next one, vacation shop. Uniluxury vacation. Next one down. Moto. This could be jet skis, motorbikes.

ATVs, snowmobiles. Something that shows that adventure, thrill-seeking side that most men have there. I can't imagine as many of you that don't want to do this stuff. Get it done with the boys. I'm sure you've probably done it already. Get some of you far and some guns, some sick pictures of that. And then some of you with your people. Pictures of you with your boys. Pictures of you with your family, whatever. And that is basically all you need. If you can figure out those nine pictures, get them shot over the next month on a high quality iPhone, on a good DSLR. That's all you need for your Instagram. You can then leave it there for basically a year or two until the pictures get too old. If you're not into building a personal brand. If you're into building a personal brand, then you stay on this shit consistently and keep uploading, keep uploading, keep making it better and better. But this is for guys that just want to take the pictures, have them on there. Now when people see me, they see you've got the blue tape, good profile, picture, good description, great pictures on there. Looks like a live and interesting life. And now you're open to do business. That's basically what we're getting you set up for here. So one time investment, then it's done. As a final point to this video,

is natural over filters. The iPhones and the cameras that we shoot on now shoot such good pictures. Don't use the shitty IG filters. That's the quickest way to look at a profile thing. Oh Jesus, that's a rookie. That's a rookie right there. So I would recommend, go totally natural. You now have the ingredients to build a high state as Instagram. If you've got money, obviously it's going to be so easy. But it is so important to show who you are, to show that you're about business. And that's pretty much everything. So hopefully that's given you a good place to start. You can write down the shots you need to get, figure out with your boys who's going to take content. Get that put and get a date in the calendar. Get that all shot. Your Instagram's now sorted. You can continue with your life or you can keep building it. Totally up to you. Lads, it's been a pleasure. I'll see you again tomorrow on the next one. Woohoo! Star Wars, the Mandalorian and Grogu is now streaming on Disney+. Woohoo! When you waiting for it, hop on.
