I think about a month and a half ago, she posted a pics of content that completely changed the trajectory of her growth, and she just passed 100,000 followers on Instagram! so shout out to you Sarah super proud of you super impressed and inspired as well!

I can barely believe it but... trial reels are in fact, overpowered lol I've been absolutely buried in work for the past 3 weeks straight and I've barely had time to take in how well posting the original video did. I did, however, have time to put together a few of these shorter, simpler "POV -> Real piece" fakeouts daily on trial reels. One of them (Linked here) got over 10K views this morning, and was giving me a consistent stream of followers, so I put it on my main grid and now that video officially has more views and interactions than the original one 😂 Ya'll, I had like 930 followers last week. And the best part is, a TON of these are not only real people, but actual working professional videographers, photographers, venues, and DJs, and I've already gotten a couple promising leads from it. Today has been crazy cause every time I open the app I get like a couple more followers and I still cannot believe it lol It also bears mentioning 2 things: I finally bought into the blue checkmark. I figured since I'm taking this seriously, spending money on it can only fuel wanting to get returns from it. I know this does help my reach inorganically in a way, but I actually suspect it also has more of a psychological effect (ie. this person is fr about their socials). I also have to point out that the videos that do best are the ones I export straight out of the IG edits app, which has been confirmed to boost traffic for now. Either way, I'll keep posting variations of these, I have some other ideas on the way, but in general, this lil experiment has worked much, much better than I anticipated. I'll keep you posted!

A lot of you have been asking if you can make money by inviting people to Asterisk Create, and we do have an affiliate program for you guys that gives you 40% commission FOR LIFE on everyone who joins Asterisk Create. I know that's a crazy ass number, but we want to encourage you guys to invite your friends, colleagues, and business partners who will also benefit greatly from the valuable information in Asterisk Create, rather than optimize for profit (or whatever a broker on Wall Street would say lol). Watch the video in full (2 minutes long) to see how you can invite people, or check out the images below. If you guys have any other questions, feel free to leave a comment. xoxo Jordan 🌷
