Our take

Based on the ratings of 350 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a 54-minute crash course from Bryan Guerra, founder of Invert Media, covering the basics of growing an Instagram page: avoiding shadow bans, posting times, engagement tactics, and using Instagram to build a business or personal brand. Nineteen short lectures across six sections, no quizzes or projects, just a rundown of do's and don'ts. It's built for people new to Instagram marketing who want a checklist rather than a full course. Reviewers call it a quick reference more than a deep dive, and the length backs that up.

Reviewers like that Guerra gets to the point, and several beginners say the tips helped them plan a page or a business account. The 4.0 rating from 350 reviews leans positive but plenty found it thin. One reviewer said it doesn't go deep into any lecture, offering only theories and no case studies. A few struggled with his speaking pace. The auto-liking software section draws real criticism too, since the course opens by warning against gaming the algorithm, then teaches a workaround for doing exactly that.

At under an hour, this isn't a course so much as a briefing. Treat it as a starting point, not a full strategy. It was refreshed in August 2026, so the algorithm advice is current. Fine for a beginner who wants the basics in one sitting; skip it if you already know Instagram fundamentals and want tactics with more depth behind them.

Best forBeginners who want a fast, no-fluff checklist for growing an Instagram page.
Skip it ifYou want in-depth case studies or a full content strategy, not quick tips.

Pros

  • Under an hour, so you can finish it in one sitting
  • Practical, plainspoken tips instead of vague hype
  • Recently updated (August 2026), so the algorithm advice is current
  • Good starting point for total beginners building a first page

Cons

  • Very short on depth, with no case studies or real examples
  • Auto-liking software section contradicts its own advice
  • Some reviewers found the instructor's pace hard to follow
The course is to the point and less time consuming that means you can get the key points or a checklist within an hour.
Niraj Prasad Yadav, a student

Listed as All Levels, but reviewers say it suits total beginners far more than anyone with existing Instagram experience.

Course Description

We live in an instant gratification culture today. So everyone (especially everyone on Instagram) expects things overnight.


But the reality is growth won't come from a "lucky" post that goes viral...no matter how many people tell you that you just need to hit the explore page & then you too can be "Instagram famous."


People like that want you to believe they have the "secret" to growth so they can sell you on their expertise & products.


But anyone who's ACTUALLY grown on Instagram (or anywhere for that matter) understands that it doesn't happen overnight or by some stroke of luck. You won't be able to "game the algorithm" to grow your followers.


It takes consistency & smart engagement on your part over time.


Now, that's not sexy. I know that. That's not what you want to hear.


But are you interested in being sold more information that makes you feel good? Or are you interested in actually growing your Instagram Page?


If your answer is the latter of those two, then you're in the right place because this Course will show you EXACTLY how to do just that.


And the truth is, growing on Instagram is a lot harder than most "gurus" make it out to be....but it's also a lot easier than you think after reading that too.


So, if you're ready to ACTUALLY grow your Instagram, enroll in Instagram Growth Tips [Start to Scale] today.

It is good but could be more elaborative. Anyways good for beginners with thorough knowledge.

By Niraj Prasad Yadav on 6/22/2020

This course serves as a quick check as what strategies you can apply to grow your Instagram page. The course is to the point and less time consuming that means you can get the key points or a checklist within an hour. The course is insightful and seems to based on real-life social media strategies. Thank you !

By Yonel Rodolfo Hidalgo Vargas on 6/20/2020

It seems to me that it is a course that we all must do to complement a good business strategy with Instagram as a support tool

By Ahmed Selim on 5/15/2020

It was very useful for me, I gained alot of information that will help me. But I wanna say that if the instructor slow his talking speed, it will be more better. Thanks ..

By Raphael Fonseca on 5/1/2020

Good presentation skills, engaging, start from basics with simple tips, and focus on scale growth with real examples and on-point suggestions. The course is one hour long and yet effective.

By Govind Singh Rana on 4/6/2020

Interective course and also the tricks have discussed on the course are workable but I pretty much disappointed about the tricks because these tricks will no longer work on the future.

By Megan Corbett on 4/6/2020

Whilst there is some insight into Intsagram in this course, I don't believe automating a liking process or buying shoutouts is a great way to find relevant followers. Some helpful tips, but nothing amazing

By Yash Khandelwal on 4/6/2020

this course is good as it is teaching us the right way instead of just fake instagram strategies. i like it.

By Etno Apriano on 4/5/2020

as introducing videos, this lecture make me more curious about how can i grow up my followers on my brand's intagram on the right way.

By Mouna on 4/5/2020

I knew some of the information he gave already and some other advice he game might not work n me personally bit I will try and see how it works out for me.
