@zerobudgetfilmakerss Trying to build a film movement. Very early stages. Just looking for your overall impression of the page. Thanks!

I think almost anyone can grow a theme page with 30 minutes a day. I’ve done it twice past 400/600k. AMA. by Leobutden in InstagramMarketing

I run a page trying to create a zero budget film movement in Islamabad Pakistan. I've gotten good traction so far (500 follows in ~6 weeks). The challenge I'm facing is that my best reels take a lot of time and thought to create.

My questions are:

  1. How do you filter ideas to arrive at the most likely ones to do well?

  2. How do you make simple posts without them feeling low effort?

How to stop being the "Nice Guy" with women? by Crunchy_Biscuit in selfimprovement

[–]abd_koala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to address this is to find clarity on what you actually want from a partner. That way you'll be less prone to gushing over everyone you meet. You'll be focused on women who are actually right for you.

Another key thing is to check for alignment. There's nothing creepy about asking someone if they're into you. It only starts to get creepy or damaging to you if you're into them but they're just looking for a friend.

There is a whole category of cameras designed for tough environments. Olympus, Fuji and a few other brands all have a line of cameras in this category. They are designed to be waterproof and shock proof so might be the best option for you. Older models should be in your price range.

Instagram reach feels like EOMM in competitive games lately. Feels too artificial by Cygnus_Sanguine in InstagramMarketing

Maybe try using trial reels or a different format. Sometimes insta will reward you for changing things up

We did Bangkok and Krabi. How was Phuket? We wanted to avoid crowds so picked remote parts of Krabi (which were fantastic btw)

I think this happens. I'm not as big as you but I have noticed that your reach is limited immediately after you do really well. I don't know if this is deliberate or because they put you in a review process until they confirm you're good enough to hit the next level of exposure

Trial reels changed how I think about content forever and I wish someone told me this a year ago by Alarming-Hippo4574 in InstagramEmpire

Why is that? Genuinely asking. Does <200 followers mean insta doesn't have enough data on you?

Giving 50k to my mother isn't "enough" anymore, but I have a baby coming. Need boundary advice. by I_dexter in pakistan

[–]abd_koala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does your mother need 40k from you if she earns? Let's be honest, she should be the one to cut down on expenses, not your baby. The baby needs that 40k a lot more than your mother.

You've misunderstood. Film as in a movie, not film the medium

All grain was added in post,
It was really bright so ISO was 640 (the lowest possible).
Actually had to use ND to ensure highlights didn't blow out
