- My one reservation with this video
is that it's gonna turn a lot of you
into just spam bots.
That you're just gonna Control+Copy, go into DM,
and just start pasting, and getting banned
or paused by Instagram because you're just spamming,
you're just spamming.
You can see in the beginning of the video
in those first couple minutes,
when I said, "See how you can bring them value."
You're entire, entire energy is predicated
on what can I get out of this?
I'm gonna DM The Rock, I'm gonna DM Warren Buffet,
I'm gonna DM Tyra Banks, I'm gonna DM this founder
and you're not thinking about
what does that person actually need right now?
The key to any tactic, and this is a tactic,
the key to any tactic is to provide more value
to the other person
especially when they're the one with leverage.
Hustling 24/7 on the Instagram DM,
it is the 2017 opportunity.

(clicking)
- Assume a lot of people watching this have no idea
what Instagram really is or why it's special.
Tell me?
- It's a very simple photo app.
Here's something interesting,
any application that makes your life better
is a big one. I think that Instagramers
will be easily one of the top two social networks
in America and globally will be a major force.
It's a beast, it is the current social network of the moment
and I just think it's an incredibly important platform
and I'm very, very bullet shy,
and as somebody who day trades attention,
I think it's a massively--
Instagram is very, very important.
I think that you should probably, starting now
for an eight month from now launch,
I would be searching hashtags
and I would start building relationships, right now.
I truly think the attention on Instagram
from individuals is unbelievable.
Instagram has hundreds of millions of people on it,
but here's one way, I promise you, that you will not
build your Instagram profile:
by not doing anything,
by sitting and having a beer with your friend
and complaining that it's so hard to build your profile.
Search hashtags, click them, look at the account,
then see how you can bring them value,
DM them, go in soft, bring value, rinse and repeat
two, three, four, five thousand times.
I'm gonna give a piece of advice that is 100%
and the only reason you won't be successful
is cause you're not hungry enough and you're too lazy.
You ready?
- [Man] Yes. - Good.
I want you to go to Instagram.
Are you watching me on Instagram?
- [Man] Yes, I am. - Good,
I want you to stop watching me on Instagram.
I want you to start this process.
If you're hungry, if you wanna win,
you have to do four, five,
to seven hours a day.
You ready?
- [Man] Yes.
- I want you to search a hashtag,
I want you to go to a search up top.
I want you to search grocery store, local butcher, plumber.
When you search it, there'll be a hashtag,
and then I want you to spend 25 minutes
hitting every picture that has the hashtag plumber
and see if it's the account of a plumbing company
or plumber who has a small business.
And you see who this is, so this is a
custom design firm.
It being a be commercial in Toronto,
138 thousand followers.
Let's see what they post.
I want you to then click the url
that is linked to that person's account
and look at their website.
If they have a good website, leave him alone.
If their website is shit,
I want you to go back into Instagram,
and hit the top right corner triple buttons
on that person's profile. You go right up here,
you hit send message, you getting this Drock?
- [DRock] Yep. - Doing good.
Send message, and then here is the key.
And then send them the message and say
yo, this is me,
I'm the best at small business website design.
Your website is not on point,
I've got a thing that's $500 upfront, $25 a months,
and you will crush it,
and you will return on that investment in one day,
let alone one year, because your website will be stronger
that you linked to on Instagram and you'll convert better.
And I want you to do that for five to seven hours
every single day, which means that you'll message
between 70 and 250 a day, and you will do a lot of business.
Business development, it's one of the pillars of my success.
The reason I'm good at business development
is I try to bring more value to the other person first.
I think about it like sawdust,
if you got downtime, why not business develop.
The fact you can business develop
in this thing now is insane.
And if you offer something in return,
three out of 30 people will take you up on it.
He may not, but the next person might.
And then you business develop and business develop,
and things start happening.
Let's show everyone, DRock.
The fitness hashtag, you know only 168 million.
Breaks it into top posts and most recent.
Say that you go to a top post,
all right, so here's Zap.
I click him, and he's got 546 thousand people.
I see he's a musician, and he's a band, and he's in Cairo.
But let's just say for whatever reason,
I wanna do product placement and I have a new shake,
or energy drink, or hoodies.
I would hit this person up,
I would hit them up and say,
Zap, love what you do.
Would love to connect.
Or would love to send you my favorite wines,
if I was in the wine business.
Or would love to make three to four videos
for your Instagram account,
on me.
Or...
And that's the key, it's or and I would love to give you.
If you're asking, you don't have the leverage.
So anytime I'm hitting somebody up,
regardless if I'm bigger or smaller than them, I'm asking.
So I'm trying to give them love.
Let's say you like hiphop,
and let's say you love Chance the Rapper.
So you go to Chance the Rapper,
guy's got 2.9 million followers.
He's getting hit up a million times a day,
when you send a thing.
Chance, I make videos.
I'll make you the best Instagram videos for free
for an entire year.
Your account will go to seven million, let alone 2.9.
I won't bother you,
I'll just work.
I'll need access at times,
but you control that.
Let me know, look at my work on my Insta.
Much love.
That, over and over and over.
Gotta make sure your Instagram account is on point.
If him or one of his boys actually look at it
or somebody who's controlling the account,
they need to see those videos and think they're fire
that's they key.
They go over and over.
Lemme show how Manny should do it.
You can literally search the Upper East Side.
You can literally see everybody who's posting in the area,
you know this person that ate here.
So you click this person and you can literally go up here,
send them a message, say I like your Instagram account
if you'd like a free haircut, come by.
What's great about that is
these are individuals who already like to share their lives.
So if they come, they'll give a shout out and it creates.
I mean you know, you live on word of mouth.
- [Manny] Yeah.
- What's your business?
It's word of mouth! - [Manny] Word of mouth, yeah.
- This is word of mouth on steroids.
Key is providing other people more value.
I just don't see people doing it
and it is absolutely going down on Instagram DM.
The key is do you know how to jab, jab, jab, right hook
on Instagram DM.
For example, more example time,
I want this to be a heavy example.
You should check the Giants hashtag
and literally, literally
just okays sports content - [Brad] I've been popping up
there lately. (laughs)
- But like anybody, yeah it's gonna be that,
but like anything that's here.
Right, like-- - [Brad] Yeah.
Like if you just DM that person and be like awesome.
They're gonna be like holy shit,
like it will open up shit all of a sudden
when you do that and you do awesome as a Giants' punter
whether they know you or not.
Next thing you know, couple months from now,
they're doing meeting with you.
iTunes is the answer, vlogs are the answer,
DMing me, DRock, on Instagram to get your song
on DailyVees, The Answer.
Every single rapper, every single artist
should literally DM, and email, and message
every single vlogger that has 100 thousand views per video
in the world, and give them free music
to put in their vlogs.
You guys following?
The work, got it?
So that's what you do,
look three of those 39 people say yo!
Send me a shirt!
One of those three that you send a shirt to puts it
in their store, one really Smokeshow model
walks in there, wears it, and away you go.
Hustling 24/7 on the Instagram DM,
it is the 2017 opportunity.
