I'm One Of Those Guys Who Think's His Instagram Is Good
Was looking for some feedback on my profile, I've tweaked it and have done my best to make it look good, but I know it definitely needs work. Any advice and criticism is welcome. Full disclosure, I did pay for a promotion about half a year ago, so half of the followers are bought. I do regret it not being 100% organic. BTW anyone in the DMV/Washington DC area want to link up and network? @samuel.silver_ https://www.instagram.com/samuel.silver_/

Hey @Samuel Moore Aside from the photos and highlights, I’ll critique you on everything else. Personally, I would change your username to not include underscore or any period. Take a look at high status people like Dan Bilzerian or Gary Vee and how their usernames are. Though I’m glad that your username isn’t like an Xbox360 tag. Your name could be your full name, Samuel Silver Moore or Samuel Moore instead of just Samuel. Your profile picture looks like a LinkedIn photo, and keep in mind this is Instagram, not LinkedIn. A good profile picture would have a good looking background, however I can clearly see your face which is good. Also when it comes to Bio, more is less! Choose at least one to two of the 4 items you listed that you want to keep. I would also recommend including a static location (where you’re primarily based at) Since you have a link set up on your page, I would also recommend including a call to action in your bio something simple as “Check in the link for more.” If you have a link, you want to direct people to check out your link.

Worth posting on IG?
Like to hear thoughts, these are two photos that I’ve edited. Chose either one or the other. If I need to change the settings or if it doesn’t look high status enough let me know Edit: realized the second one was poorly edited

Wished you told me to wait for the sun before I took this photo, though we’re already here, and I’m not gonna drive 4 hours to Savannah to retake the photo 🤣 but I will take your advice, especially on using Corey’s presets for uncolored photos and less on vibrant setting. So I adjusted the lighting in Lightroom by increasing the contrast, and I used Lightroom’s feature to mask myself and edit the lighting (though as I’m looking in the photo it just seems like I’m photoshopped into the photo, not sure if you could tell). By doing so, I wanted to be visible to the camera unlike the unedited photo. Note: the first photo is the edited one, the second is the original unedited one

@Yuanbin Yu would you drive 4 hours just to retake a photo? Consider the cost and time involved in driving for 4 hours. Will it be worth the time and expense to get the shot you want?

Would like some feedback
I’ve followed a checklist suggested by Coreycha Rules of third ✅ Removed the natural colors by adding filter✅ Make sure people aren’t in the background ✅ Scarce resources - travel ✅ Looked away from the camera - ✅ Maintain a neutral stoic face - ✅ Told a story by my posture and position of where I’m looking, as well as the objects in my hand - ✅ Remained mysterious - ❓Not sure on that one (I got a cigar on my hand, but I never smoked) Message the picture is telling - I’m facing shit but kept my calm) Trying to get to step 2 quickly as I can Also tried to replicate this photo https://www.instagram.com/p/CJEr2BGg-2V/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

@Ty Buchanan thanks for the input Ty! Aside from your suggestion, what filters would you recommend?

@Ty Buchanan I also appreciate your thoughts on Vincent’s photo, whereas the buildings are telling his story. Honestly, I was struggling getting a good photo of both the sand dunes and the ocean, as my tripod kept failing on me 😆

Audit my Instagram men
Already did the Instagram audit, watched the introduction videos and checked the testimonial profiles. I thought Karim, Vincent, and George, and a few pictures from Nate and Eric, would fit my taste in taking picture. Really wanna move on to the next step to step 2 quickly. Need some thoughts on maximizing my Instagram. https://instagram.com/kylegabrielblanco?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
