I will give as many details as I can below. Ask me anything else.

Captura de tela 2026 01 18 063051


Since last year I've been growing brands online and making content. Particularly short form content on Instagram, YouTube and Threads. But Instagram I got the most traction.

My first Instagram page was on the motivational niche, I grew it in like 6 months to 20k followers. I didn't sell nothing.
Then I grew a meme page to 40k followers in like 3 months. I sold a few physical copies (like 3 at most) of a satire book - it was trash and I didn't know what I was doing.

Then I grew this last page to 45k followers in a month (started at the end of November 2025) and sold a bunch of copies and made $507 so far.

This page is about masculinity & life advice for men. I sold an eBook and physical copy (with worldwide shipping) of this book. It's like a guide I honestly think will be helpful for men out there, it mixes storytelling, personal experiences and an actual system to help them sort life out. I wrote it myself and had some help of AI ngl.

As you can see I gradually learned how to grow a following overtime and I think this growth is luck to some extent but a lot of stuff I picked up by creating and growing the other mentioned pages.

Here's some factors I think that helped me grow so fast:

- I used the meme page to make a bunch of collab posts and blasted the new page on my stories which made me gain followers quicker.
- I posted 10 reels per day. I only post 2 formats: AI animation with narration and some viral quotes with life advice. Rarely a carousel.
- I tailored a lot of the content for virality, picking other viral quotes and text content and using as narration and overall repurposing shit that I saw worked on other pages.
In like 20 days I grew the page to around 30k, by now we are hitting 45k.
I sell the digital book for 10. I sell also physical copiues (print on demand) of the book for 27. Which discounting production costs and shipping I net around 13. But people buy more the PDF.

I am honestly quite isolated doing this, I don't got many friends showing interest in whatever the fuck I am doing online.

I just wanted to share and get opinions. I want to give some help to people out there trying to start. I wish someone did the same to me. I want to find peers out there doing the same. That's it.

What I will not do: I won't share the actual page, website or crucial info about my product that I think might reveal it. I think it's risky for me and the brand overall.

I am already expecting people calling me a scammer or whatever. It sucks because, I am deadass tryna be helpful. I think my product is good and I am currently even improving it further because I am not satisfied with it. Plus I am literally considering selling some of these insights I just gave. I don't think you will find some of these workflows and shit I am doing anywhere, I built a lot of this stuff with lots of fuckups on my own. This is valuable insight.

I have some background in marketing, have worked in digital marketing agencies, worked as a graphic designer and video editor. And I think I got a bunch of little things that made me achieve these results with a certain ease that most people wouldn't. I see a lot of people struggle to grow an audience, sell online and they just give up. I lowkey feel like I improved a lot, but deep down I also think I just got a natural ability with it.

I don't want you to message me for details. I don't care if you do, but I can reply anything you want on the comments too. I am not trying to sell anything. I don't even open this forum like that.

I just saw a lot of skepticism and negativity too which I understand why people get skeptical with so many scammers out here. But I just wanted to bring a fresh no bullshit persepctive and be positive and share a bit of what I know. I think there's lots of ways to make money online nowadays and I see lots of people losing good opportunities because they think everything is a scam. I am here to help. ASK ME WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT. I see some people posting here and they be gatekeeping info. I am not - besides anything I find might compromise my brand and all that.

Sorry for any english mistakes, I am not native from an english speaking country either. I didn't revise this with AI. Happy new year and shit.

good thread. can you teach me the automation part for good karma? I’m really interest in theme pages aswell started one but didn’t really commit since I was to lazy to edit videos. I’ll give you 10% of the profits from the page (already have a bunch of ideas how to monetise)

Thoughts on running 2-3 pages simultaneously using the knowledge you have, each targeted at different audiences?
