Hello, my name is Ali Essig and my Instagram account is called Plantwise. I'm a plant based nutritionist and I had about 20,000 followers before joining grow the gram. And it was stagnant. I would, you know, gain some and then lose some about the same amount every single time. Even when I did collaborations, other things, it just wasn't really moving the needle. Then I watched Michelle Gifford's webinar about attraction versus is nurture content. And I knew she had something that I was learning, something that was different than what everyone else had taught. And it wasn't just about finding viral content, but it was about finding the difference between what's attraction content versus what's nurture content. And I knew I needed to learn more. So I joined grow the gram. And after I joined, I posted a video which I thought would be more attraction content because I noticed that desserts, everyone loves dessert. And so I did one on using a box cake mix and adding beans instead of eggs and oil. Well, that video went viral for me and it did really well. I gained probably around 1000 followers from that. And so in growth the gram, you learn all about how success leaves clues. And in your audit, they give you examples of different videos you can do and inspiration. And so I decided to do another video, but this time to do a video on boxed brownies and how you can use beans instead of eggs and oil. Well, that video went viral. It got over a million views. I ended up getting around 4000 followers. And true to Michelle Gippord's forum, there were so many hilarious comments about fart jokes that just kept me laughing. But I didn't let it stress me out because I recognize that it's through these things and those type of comments that you can grow. And so overall, I went from around 20,000 followers to now almost 25,000 followers. It was worth every investment that I paid. I'm so grateful that I was able to do grow the gram.

Amazing. Okay, as you're writing, here are a couple prompts for you to consider. Number one, you can talk about a big win that we helped you get through Growthgram.

And just answer those questions and really focus on the transformation or big win and put it below. Ah.

Collect video testimonial

Amazing. I love video. Okay, here are a couple prompts for you to help you know what to say in the testimonial. First of all, you can talk about what you learned from Growthagram. The second option is to talk about how your Instagram strategy looked before growthagram and what it looks like now. Showing that transformation really helps. Another thing is, as you're videoing, find a quiet place. Look, I'm in my car. The sound is fantastic. Or find a place with great lighting. I like to go into a place with windows and put my phone right in front of the window like this. There usually isn't backlighting over here, so you can get the best lighting for.
