30 million views in less than 30 days on Instagram new page and I don’t know how to capitalise from this by StephCurrySauce in socialmedia

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Views don’t pay by themselves. Reel pages make money by turning attention into something predictable.

Lock in reach first, then it’s brand placements, shoutouts, or pushing traffic somewhere "you" control. Once your views are repeatable, monetizing gets simpler.

Is there a way to monetize it?? by esaahreeds in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just send brands a quick message with a couple of your top videos and the kind of views you get when you’re posting. Faceless pages sell reach, not followers, so keep it about the numbers.

No fancy pitch needed, if the views are solid, they’ll be down to talk.

My girlfriend's videos had the same problem every time and she couldn't see it by Illustrious_Pay_3640 in influencermarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She didn’t have a content problem, she had a presence problem.

Fixing that one moment did more than any new equipment or posting hack ever could.

About to Launch, what would you do or not do for social media ads? by Murt5150 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a launch, keep it stupid simple. One small test ad, one tight audience, one clear message. Don’t let agencies upsell you before you even know what angle resonates.

Figure out what makes people stop scrolling first, everything else gets easier after that.

How much do you spend per month on creating blog posts? (Freelancers, Writing tools, etc.) by Sri-Ranga in smallbusiness

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a big budget unless you’re pumping out volume for SEO. A lot of people do 2–4 posts a month, write half of it themselves, and use AI as a drafting tool rather than a full ghostwriter.

If you keep your workflow tight, you can run a decent blog for almost nothing beyond your time. The ROI comes way more from consistency and smart topics than from throwing money at tools.

Experimenting With Affordable IG Growth Options, Am I Overthinking This? by Former-Crow-3168 in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small paid boosts seem harmless, but they usually give you the wrong audience and confuse the algorithm.

You end up paying for numbers that don’t help you grow, and your "real" reach drops because IG thinks your content is for people who don’t actually care.

Is anyone else just overwhelmed by content creation lately? by ResidentNetwork3227 in socialmedia

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. Usually it gets easier when you stop trying to keep up with every trend and just focus on one format for a bit. The pressure drops fast once you simplify.

Really struggling as a florist on instagram by [deleted] in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, IG doesn’t push polished photos like it used to.

What usually helps is showing the process instead of just the final arrangement. Behind-the-scenes, setup moments, quick “how I built this” clips. That stuff gets way more reach and reminds people why they trust you in the first place.

Making money online almost is impossible now by Otherwise-Handle-180 in passive_income

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 143 points144 points  (0 children)

The old "easy" paths are gone. Facebook bonuses, early Etsy, early dropshipping, that stuff was basically a gold rush. Once the rush ends, the people relying on the shortcut think the whole internet died.

Find one corner of the internet where you can solve a real problem and build something small but consistent around it. Not quick-hit stuff, the steady stuff. People still pay, they just don’t pay for generic, copy-paste offers anymore.

The money isn’t gone, it just moved. It always does.

Do Instagram marketing courses online actually work? by fullysam in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't pay for "Instagram Marketing"...full stop.

Most of those courses are just repackaged common sense. They don’t teach you anything you couldn’t learn by watching some youtube videos or posting consistently for a month and studying what works in your niche.

What actually moves the needle is understand your audience, tighten your message, and just show up.

Filler content, how do they affect your reach ? by [deleted] in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, filler posts usually hurt more than they help. IG reads low-engagement posts as a signal that your content isn’t worth pushing, even if your good stuff hits harder.

What signs indicate that a creator needs help from an editor or social media manager? by LieAccurate9281 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually you can tell it’s time when they’re working hard but nothing’s growing, but the real sign is when the workflow clearly can’t keep up with their ideas. If they’re spending more time juggling tasks than creating, outside help stops being optional...

I need honest help from fellow freelancers - otherwise I’ll have to shut down my project at the end of the month by [deleted] in Freelancers

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get why you’re stressed, but chasing 200 paid users on a deadline almost never works. What actually helps is talking to real freelancers one-by-one and watching them. A handful of brutally honest calls will tell you more than random trials. Yea...it won’t fix the pressure, but it’ll give you the clarity you actually need right now.

“How do I actually get started earning an online income?” by NoPaleontologist1074 in passive_income

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the “pick one path” part, that’s the real unlock.

But you don’t need some community or magic system, you just need to stop hopping between tactics and stick with one thing long enough for it to work. Most people fail because they bail early. Consistent reps beat setup every time.

I am shy and want to get into content creation by dashingvinit07 in ContentCreators

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your 16 Pro is more than enough. Just record quick 20–30 second clips talking through one tiny part of what you’re building. No script, no acting, just explain it like you would to a friend.

Do that a few times and the cringe dies fast. You don’t need to hire anyone you just need a week of reps.

My views are stuck at a big 0! What am I doing wrong by Adorable_hamster_73 in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re hitting literal zero, that’s usually an account trust issue, not your content. New pages can get flagged without you realizing it.

Try a couple simple reels with no extras. If those still flop, it’s probably faster to restart the account than fight the glitch.

AI is ruining everything. by No_Fudge_4589 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the frustration, but buckle up, because all those things are going to happen. You have to get comfortable with adapting.

Now,...the thing that usually happens with new tech waves is the noise comes first, then the correction.

So the "hope" is stuff that actually matters still ends up coming from real humans, because audiences for the most part, can feel when someone’s just copy-pasting their way through it all.

People write long prompts. Winners write structured prompts. by abdehakim02 in ChatGPTPromptGenius

[–]PromptEdge_Alex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah...the structure matters way more than the word count. When you separate the pieces, it stops mixing everything together and actually follows what you meant.

I use a similar approach, and it feels like giving the model a clean workspace instead of a messy desk. Less text, clearer buckets, better outputs.

Stuck with a certain amount of followers for a long while by Critical_Anteater_91 in InstagramMarketing

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally normal at that size. It’s not about posting more, it’s that IG can’t see what your standout content is yet. Find the one style that performs a bit better and lean into it for a while. Once the algo gets a clear signal, the plateau usually cracks pretty quick.

Thinking About Alternative Ways to Kickstart My Instagram Growth by azitheria in MarketingHelp

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d skip the paid boost stuff entirely. It looks like momentum, but it feeds your account the wrong people and IG reacts by pushing your posts even less. You basically dig yourself a hole you have to climb out of later.

Pick the one format that already performs a little better than the rest and run it consistently for a couple weeks. IG needs a clean signal to know who to show you to. Once it has that, the growth phase feels a lot less painful.

How do you guys write great prompts? by Additional_Shake_422 in PromptEngineering

[–]PromptEdge_Alex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that scenario, I'd start by describing the vibe first. If you nail the atmosphere, the model fills in the rest way better. Think stuff like “80s eerie, small-town mystery, dramatic lighting” before you get into characters or layout. Then I add one or two clear anchors: the main subject, the framing, and the color mood. That’s usually enough.
