Famous 5

Favorite Book?- Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk
What CEO do you follow?— Suja Juice
What is your favorite online tool?—IconoSquare
Do you get 8 hours of sleep?— Yes
If you could let your 15 year old self know one thing, what would it be?— Eventually you’ll find something you’re passionate about.

3 Key Points:

Popular Instagram posts possess consistency, high quality, good hashtags, and interact/network with other accounts.
Share for share is a good way to grow your social media account. Accounts with a similar target audience can both grow their audiences by mutually sharing a post.
You can track the number of clicks a bitly link has generated by adding a plus notation after the link.

Resources Mentioned:

Edgar – Nathan uses Edgar instead of other scheduling tools for Twitter because Edgar cycles through content over and over (buffer/others you have to re-input content over and over – time consuming). In the last several months, Edgar has driven Nathan over 3728 clicks that he didn’t have to work or pay for.
Instagram – Lila’s Instagram
Fresh Fit Fearless – Lila’s website
Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook – Lila’s favorite business book
Suja Juice – Business Lila follows
IconoSquare – Lila’s favorite online tool
