Instagram Reconnaissance: High-Status Social Hubs and People
Unlocking the secrets of your city's social scene is easier than you might think, especially with Instagram as your guide. Dive deep into the digital realm, and you'll find a treasure trove of high-status locations and individuals. Here's how to navigate this vast landscape: 1 Start with Google: Kick things off by searching for terms like "top", "trendiest", "newest", "most Instagrammable", "coolest" followed by "restaurants", "bars", "lounges", "nightclubs", "coffee shops", "rooftops" in your city. This should give you a preliminary list of about 60 potential high-status locations. But remember, not all that glitters is gold. Some blogs might have a skewed perception of what's "cool", so always cross-check. 2 Dive into Instagram: Now, for each location you've listed, head over to Instagram. Check two things: The geotag of the location. The tagged posts of the location's official account (symbolized by a name tag icon with a person on it). If you spot models or high-status individuals in either of these sections, you've struck gold! That location is genuinely high-status. Add it to your refined list. If not, it's time to discard that location and move on. 3 Discover Status-Value Individuals: With a list of high-status locations in hand, you'll naturally come across profiles of models and other high-value individuals. For each profile, tap the person with + symbol icon (located to the right of the "message" button). This will reveal "suggested for you" accounts, which, according to Instagram's algorithm, are likely to be similar high-value profiles. If they appear to be locals, add them to your list and explore their suggestions in turn. This ripple effect can lead you to a vast network of high-value individuals in your city. 4 Update and Repeat: As you navigate through these profiles, you'll often find them tagging other trendy spots in the city. This gives you a chance to update your list with even more reliable locations. Once updated, repeat the entire process. Dive back in, refine, and expand your network.
