See What Current Students Are Saying About Out Course:

"On September 25th I signed up for this course (I think I was one of your earliest students). At that time I had around 10 followers and was struggling with two jumbled Instagram Accounts (personal and photography business). Because of this course, and having implemented many of your ideas, I BROKE 100 FOLLOWERS TODAY!"

It may not seem like much to you two; however, it is an amazing accomplishment in my book!

THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING SUCH A GREAT AND PRACTICAL COURSE!!! WELL DONE!

If you want to gain traction on Instagram this course will help you do it. It wont do it for you, but it will point you in the right direction and teach you how use the features of Instagram. Included how you build your profile, gain followers, expose your profile and much more."

A useful and easy-to-follow course with several practical ideas I can actually apply. I especially liked the sections on creating strong hooks and improving affiliate marketing through social media. It gave me a few new ideas to experiment with and was well worth the time.

By Vaughan Castine on 2/13/2022

The course has good content but is two to three times longer than it needs to be. There is a lot of signposting (where Joe tells you what he is going to tell you without providing the detail, he then comes back to it later - you could cut out the middleman and just talk about it the first time) , repetition (did Joe think we weren't listening the first couple of times something was said) and intros on short videos. All in all a lot of padding.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences! This was an amazing course. I really learned a lot about Instagram and I enjoyed the process. The class helped me get inspired and motivated in order to grow my travel blog page on Instagram.

By Annette Gregory on 1/2/2021

I have started to put in place some of the actions and I am seeing results already, which is excellent. I am finding it all very interesting and I actually liked the last statement from Phil...Case study 45 ... I would prefer loyal to just large numbers...I have completed course but for some reason at the end, the course states that I have two more to do when I have not... So no certification at the end. But I keep getting updates that I don't want. Sad really

By Savan Hirani on 12/21/2020

so far i am on section 1 video 4 and already i have been given valuable content that i would never have even thought of. Update: So much more than i believed it to be....this is truly a one of a kind course! i just hope it works for my niche

By Mike Killen on 11/22/2020

Great Content!

By Russell Moore on 11/22/2020

Pretty good so far

By Srimanti on 11/22/2020

Im really liking the course so far. Starting from the very basics.

By Manuel Schirru on 11/22/2020

The course was easy to follow and gave some good tips which I will be testing soon with my own personal creative project. I think that it could be improved by ensuring that concept or advices are not repeated too often (sounds sometimes like the videos are not related to each other at all), and by adding sections with outside guests for specific types of accounts: artist, creative, producer, seller etc. This may help adding insight for a wider audience and help alumns benefit from all the tips too.
