I grew 15,000 followers last week. Here’s why it happened 👇🏻
I created a highly relatable, easily sharable post that touched a nerve with my audience.
And what happened?
👉🏻Comments flooded in
👉🏻Shares by the thousands
👉🏻Follows by the droves
The video took me 2 mins to make and totally changed the game.
So is growth dead? Nope! But it might require you to create within the intersection of a few categories your audience will love!
What questions do you have?
Why do so many creators and biz owners fail in their quest to make full time income online? 🤔
Here at @timeofdre I’ve helped dozens of creators go full time and Ive learned a lot about what it takes.
Here’s what’s not going to work:
👉🏻”I’ll just pitch more” isn’t a strategy
👉🏻”I’ll post every day” isn’t a strategy
👉🏻”I bought a $50 ebook” isn’t a strategy
….so what the heck IS the right strategy?
Starting today, The Best Year Ever Minimind is open for enrollment and inside of this 3 month container I’ll be walking a small group of select creators though my signature Full Time Formula.
This includes:
🚀Your branding and visibility strategies
🧠The CEO mindset needed to make this a career
📌A content strategy that helps localize your audience
🤑Pathways to profitability based so you have multiple ways to get paid
🌎 Omni channel marketing and building your brand ecosystem
….trust me, no course or ebook can teach you this!
This is the same formula that helped me quit my corporate job in under a year and you can do it too!
Spots are extremely limited. Link in bio to snag!
Do you love your job?

Is your IG feeling dead? 💀
About a year ago, I thought organic growth was a thing of the past. My TimeOfDre account hit a plateau, and I felt stuck. It seemed like others were only advancing through shoutouts, giveaways, and TikTok.
But then, I started a NEW account and witnessed massive, organic growth (100-300 new followers daily), reigniting my passion for content creation.
Maybe you’ve been feeling the same:
✨ Your recent growth isn’t what you envisioned.
✨ Online excitement is dwindling and you’re thinking of throwing in the towel
✨ Growth is confusing and you don’t know who to listen to.
✨ Doubts are creeping in about your online journey.
I understand, and that’s why TOMORROW, I’ll be announcing something just for you. It’s all about projecting 2024 strategy, sharing my biggest lessons, and guiding you on reviving your IG.
No tricks, scams, or BS required.
What’s one fact about you that no one would guess?!? Tell me below 👇🏻
You and your personality have always been the secret to your success!

I recently had a call with Instagram and was invited to an exclusive group of experts to talk about the platform.
Not only did I get some super exciting updates about new features, we also talked about the algorithm and things that are changing!
During the FREE Instagram Rx Workshop on 1/3 and 1/4 I’m going to be breaking down how you can revive your account in the new year with better content, better strategy and a new vibe.
Will I see you there? Comment ME down below if you want the link!
💀 Cackling because there is ZERO shame in my game 👏

Ever been guilty of writing a negative comment on someone’s post? 🤔 Well, it might be time to reevaluate what that says about you.
🦋 Remember that leaving a negative comment on someone’s IG is usually a reaction to an emotion:
✨Their happy post made YOU feel sad
✨Their opinion made YOU angry
✨Their life made YOU feel inadequate
It’s rarely about them, it’s really a projection of you.
This is why you see horrible comments on a bride announcing her wedding dress choice, someone sharing a happy weight loss picture etc. It made the negative person feel bad.
Next time you feel the urge to comment something unkind, take a step back and ask yourself why you’re really doing it.
💖 Instead, make it a point to spread positivity and support others on social media! You never know what impact your kind words will have on someone’s day. So go on, be the change you want to see in the (digital) world! 🌍

Are you making these mistakes on Instagram?
🚨
Save and share!
Do you find yourself grinding on IG? Spending WAY
too much time for what you’re getting in return?
So, here is the list:
👉🏻Posting too infrequently:
Consistency is KEY to build your brand AND following
on IG because people want to be captured by your
content. When you lack consistency, people forget
your message quickly and end up disengaging with
you.
👉🏻Engaging with the wrong kind of people:
I wish I could tell you that posting alone was the key,
but you have to be building relationships with your
target audience and finding common ground.
When you get a comment from a new person, what’s
the first thing you do? YOU CHECK THEM OUT!
People will also be doing this to you, and hopefully
you’ll have a new friend!
(These secrets and more are inside The Elevated
Instagram)
👉🏻Posting random content
Easily the #1 mistake that is rampant on Instagram is
having NO IDEA who you’re talking to and what you
should say to them. The quickest way to repel people
and drop followers? A train off the tracks headed
nowhere!
👉🏻Lastly, using PayPal or Peloton giveaways to grow
as they’ll bring you a disengaged, dead audience that
yanks your engagement!
So, what’s the solution? Enroll in The Elevated
Instagram steal my step-by-step strategy and start
seeing meaningful results over the 6-week self-paced
course. Link in bio!🌶
How many times a week do you post to IG?

Did you know you can write off your phone and clothes as a creator?🤯Send this to your friends!Before I dive in with the juice, please remember I am not a tax professional.As a creator, you have many expenses to account for...doing IG requires courses, technology, beauty expenses and more just to keep your biz running....and in the last decade, the government now recognizes this too!Here is a short list of what you can write off:📱Educational courses like The Elevated Instagram (🎊)😳 Internet (partial amount)🌐Domain fees🔌Office Supplies🔌Home office square footage📸Cameras💿Digital memory cards🪑Business furniture🛍Clothing for the blog🏝Travel expenses including gas mileage for the blog or educational events*Note* All of the PR and free gifts you get DO need to be accounted for on your taxes as well.Did you know this?!? Now it goes without saying that recording keeping and PROOF that you are using these expenses for business is key. That’s why I recommend @quickbooks or @expensify to track these as you go!The past two years I have been filing as an S-Corp so that I can pay myself a salary so I can reduce my taxable income. Most creators are able to function just fine as an LLC if you’re making under 100k a year. Do you write off the expenses from your online business?!?

Do you want to be taken more seriously on IG stories? Don’t make these mistakes 👇🏻
I get it, there is a lot to know and so much to remember when hopping on your stories. But by making a few mistakes, people can be sent running for the hills.
BTW: I give free social advice on my stories EVERY day!
Here is your guide to flipping the script:
❌”Just popping on...” This prepares people for a sales pitch and makes them feel second nature
✔️”Hey you” makes them feel seen
❌”Happy (insert day)” this phrase is filler and takes up their time and yours
✔️Dive right in to your point
❌”I love this” This is a turn off
✔️”You’d love this because” Makes it about them
❌”Thank you for following me” No one wants to be called a follower
✔️”Thank you for being here” Makes then feel part of the club
❌”Sorry for not showing up” Makes it about you
✔️”I’m excited to see you again” Makes it about them
These simple swaps can take people from feeling like a glossy bystander to a person that is in the inner circle, excitedly viewing your leadership on stories!
In your opinion, how many stories is too many?! 5,10,20?!?👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

How to create AMAZING content😇
You show up on IG, try to create interesting content but some days it can feel so...confusing right? You don't know what to say, what to post and it becomes frustrating FAST.
Let's solve that:
👉🏻Solve the problems of your audience: Do you want to become indispensable? Create content directly surrounding their biggest pain points. The things that keep them up at night, how can you relieve that?
👉🏻Create Conversation: Ask questions, opinions and get people talking! Just don’t forget to respond!
👉🏻Create DIFFERENT types of content: Disruptive, teaching, inspirational, storybranding. Rotate these regularly.
👉🏻Format your captions: I hate to say it if you have a wall of text that runs straight into a pile of hashtags...ain't nobody reading! Make it clear and simple!
👉🏻Tell Us About You: When was the last time you shared who you are and why you show up here every day? That origin story is WAY more important than you'll ever know!
If you had to give your content a grade, what would it be? A+ to an F
