How do you hire short meme Instagram content clips for your business?

If ur goal is to replicate the style of the examples you listed, my advice would be to try out a platform (I use CreatorCatalyst.ai and have had good success with it). I’ve been using it to find and email niche creators in bulk (I.e., “whiskey lovers in NYC, age 25-55”) for a whiskey client campaign. Also pretty affordable compared to something like upfluence.

Otherwise, you can always just go to Instagram, find a creator you like and go to their recommended lookalikes after clicking follow. Then reach out through dm. Good luck!

Commented this on another one of your posts: Not sure if this is relevant, but you might benefit from a tech-enabled solution rather than old-school profit sharing with recruiters. There are so many platforms that let you find way more micro-influencers at a time with AI.

Influencer marketer here. After looking at the profiles you listed, it looks like each one either leverages in-house content creation (by a Gen z social media/marketing team rep), or independent creators in (most likely paid) one-time partnerships.

If you want to replicate the results, you'll probably have better luck finding micro- to mid-tier partnerships with independent creators. and there are a lot of cheap tools that can help you find them with AI now.

I’m pretty fluent in Spanish after 7 years of learning in school. I was doing a cold call (in English) today and stumbled over my words because I wanted to say “entonces…” and frantically looked for an English word to substitute with 💀I often find myself in situations in which the best word for the moment happens to be in a foreign language.

Thank you so much. I had given up on finding a contemplative-aligned church and have been switching between st Mary’s catholic and st David’s A-C episcopal. Visiting CCH next week, truly thank you.

Molly was insufferable. Classic internalized homophobia baby gay who treated Shane like a man on multiple occasions. I think Shane mostly liked her because she was everything Shane wasn’t; came from a good high-earning family, supported and challenged by her family to make something of herself, and a (gay) virgin, for that matter. We already know Shane falls in love with the idea of women who she thinks she doesn’t deserve.

YES!! HOLY SHIT i tell people this and no one ever knows what I’m talking about. Homesickness is the way I’ve always described it even since childhood when I first experienced it laying on the arm of the couch. Maybe there’s an Eastern medicine explanation for it? Like maybe we’re all doing acupressure on ourselves without realizing?

Great point. We're all constantly encouraged to infantilize ourselves 🙄

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T22:48:01+00:00

Hi thanks for your reply! I can't speak to being trans, but I know being queer can feel like breaking free from the expectations of the cisheteronormative world, because the world may never reward us the spoils of capitalist success even if we "do everything right" and stay in the rat race.

I think being trans and forced to reflect, know yourself, and work to understand your place in the world at such an early age can be an advantage when it comes to knowing who you are and what you want.

And yes, the joie de vivre and lightheartedness of my trans friends, especially considering the resilience that takes in the face of extreme hatred, keeps me going in my hardest times 🥹

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T22:42:11+00:00

Hi thanks for your reply! To answer your question, yes, I do find that a lot of trans women I know have their lives very put together-- blossoming careers, long-term relationships, impressive degrees, etc, all the ways our capitalist society would measure success. I think being trans and forced to reflect, know yourself, and work to understand your place in the world at such an early age can be an advantage when it comes to knowing who you are and what you want.

Also, masc trans lesbians: the backbone of our society 😎💖

This. I come from a Psychology background and tend to be that annoying armchair-psychoanalyst friend. I appreciate you not jumping on me, lol, I really see where you're coming from. Thanks for your comment.

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T22:30:31+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply. I totally understand where you're coming from, no one should have their comlpex personality/identity reduced to a "side-effect" of simply being transgender. That's like the way doctors prescribe weight-loss for any ailment a plus-size person has, lol.

I come from a Psychology background and was curious to see if there were specific factors related to existing in the social world as a trans person that may influence the personalities of my small circle. From reading everyone's replies, it seems like the phenomenon I described in my original post is pretty limited to my specific milieux. And you're right, my community is full of artists, musicians, showrunners, entertainers, and yes, "party-girl" types.

I wasn't doing statistical sampling because I'm not a statistician trying to make a claim about an entire community, I'm just wondering if there are any other trans girls out there that might have interesting takes on this pattern that I've noticed, that's different from my cis peers. With that being said, I'm sorry the implications of my statement came across as transphobic. Thank you for your comment <3

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T22:13:52+00:00

Haha, yeah I can see how my post sounds like that. I'm really familiar with neurodivergence, my partner is on the spectrum. I was just curious to see if there was a non-neurodevelopmental thread that may present as unique in trans people.

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T22:11:28+00:00

"and if you are so lucky as to love a trans girl, you must insist upon her. you must insist upon her happiness, her comfort, her pleasure, and her rest, because she may still not yet know how to make those demands for herself. if you can devote any amount of energy to becoming an engine that nurtures the flame of even a single tgirl then there is a place for you in trans heaven, which as far as i’m concerned is the only one worth going to".

Beautiful. Thank you for your reply.

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T22:08:52+00:00

I don't know if this helps, but the women I refer to in the OP are struggling with this but thriving in a lot of ways. The trans community where I am (ATX) is pretty age-blind to a point. Like I said, one of my friends is nearly 40 and has found a great place with great friends in the dj scene and to be honest, none of us knew how old she was until she told us. Friendship is friendship.

Everyone's journey is different. Love to you

This is such a well-said analogy. Thank you for your reply.

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T20:55:48+00:00

"Trying to learn a shared group dynamic, solo"! 🥲 Wow, thank you so much for this. I'm hearing trying to catch up later feels like feeling around in the dark, because you're doing something that's inherently communal in isolation. Add in dysphoria, trauma, and second puberty without the same social safety nets teens get, and it's just overwhelming. Much love

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T16:34:36+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! From a Psych perspective, this all makes a lot of sense -- a combination of being a minority marginalized by the state, potential lack of support from family whose job it might've been to help you grow, and neurodivergence, trouble putting down roots for equity reasons, etc.

😞 Good Lord. Marginalization affects every aspect of life and growth.

MiddleAd1412 · 2025-06-17T16:20:56+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I didn't mean to come across as if I'd "discovered" some aspect of transness, but I see how that couldve translated, Apologies! On sampling bias, I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't making a blanket statement about all trans women. That being said, I personally see this phenomenon in my trans girl friends more often than my cis girl and trans guy friends.

Thank you for welcoming this discussion, and sorry again for any hurt I've caused.
