The type of person who gives a 5, 000 person presentation to 10-20 people is pretty special. Amazing engagement

[simongossner]

From my experience, consistency is the key! Also, I like to give my new accounts a small boost in terms of followers and likes. It's a psychology trick, others will drop a follow if they see there are a lot of followers already. The numbers give them some kind of trust.

[neharastogi]

I'm amazed I'm watching this for free. Everyone else is packaging less information than this for $99 courses. Thankyou so much!

[arnelque]

Please don’t delete this video! I find it extremely valuable to what I’m currently working on. Thank you :)

[nancytran]

I'm Nancy! Thank you for the plug hahah. Now I'm pressured to keep up a badass social media page 😅

[ezmonii]

This guy is so real. Literally showing that you dont need much to give little. You just share what you have. Much love fam

[AnaMarcu]

I like how you make people feel important in your presentation. That’s a sleek skill.

[yuliiakucherenko]

Shook about: 1) info throughout the whole video, 2) the way Chris interacts with audience!!, 3) the way Chris keeps so grounded to earth - shared very personal experience, gives away true value, 4) excellent responds to the questions.
Here is so many things to learn just from that one video! Thank you so much for sharing this here.

I watched the whole thing and then realized I could start at of the story: Read comment first

[javierandres]

Wow, like 15 people live, 200 through YT, and NOW more than 1, 000, 000.
That's a life lesson right there.

[HustleNinjas]

When I graduated from graphic design school, the only thing I learned was confidence. I regretted going for a long time and wished I went for entrepreneurship. Finding this channel is the best balance of the two and makes me feel so relieved. Wow, subbed.

[theblackdahlia]

You are possibly the most positive person on social rn...it's just all to the point and no bs! Thank you for uploading this!

[MalikInTheOffice]

Solid, solid, solid. I’ve seen carousels done. I’ve created more than a few. But the psychology is *chef’s kiss* prime for execution and effectiveness.

[sakrou]

Who else was going thru the comments to see if its real

[MzChasten]

The first video that actually has knowledge on how to be real and genuine and not trying to "grow fast". Very inspiring!

[laksjdfhghfhdkskdjfh]

This is by far the most useful content I've come across. Every one else makes you pay while beating around the bush. But you go right to the point and your energy is great.

[thah]

I started watching on the 34:00 mark as some people suggested, but the quality of content was so great that I finished the video and watched from the start to take in all the info 😬 worth it! Thank you! 😊

[DelaAntoinette]

This was a great presentation that randomly showed up in my YouTube feed. I watched the full video to see if i could learn something to bring engagement up because my engagement has sucked terribly for months. I've tried posting 4x a day, daily posting, using stories, posting videos, IGTV etc, and nothing seemed to work so I assumed my content just sucked. Lol

So I tested out posting carousel images to Instagram a day later per this video and used all 10 like Chris says. It's only two days and my engagement immediately improved. I went from barely any likes to nearly 2x in likes and over 20 people have saved my posts. Literally from 2 posts.

I'm posting once a day right now because creating these carousel takes work but so far, it's working out great. So I'm glad this video showed up in my feed and thank you for sharing this tip.
