Celebrating 25k followers on instagram
Added 2024-07-17 18:26:20 +0000 UTCDear member,
I am delighted to share the news that my main instagram account has now reached 25k followers.
This is clearly an important milestone and I wanted to thank those of you who are following me on the gram, as well as all of you who follow me here. It means a lot to me every time a member joins. More so, of course, when it is a paid member as the money I receive from Patreon subscriptions helps me to create more content, paying model fees, paying for retouching services or photographic equipment/consumables.
My instagram journey only started four and a half years ago - see screenshot of my very first post on 26 February 2020. It coincided with starting to do model photography seriously, instead of as a hobby.
My first follower was, in fact, the model in that post - who convinced me that I should have an Instagram account. Back then, I wasn't at all sure I needed or wanted one.
The growth in my instagram has been completely organic - I have never used any fast growth recipes nor have I ever paid for promotion. I do not want to bore all of you with the details as I suspect many of you aren't interested in growing their instagram accounts, if indeed you have such accounts.
I will, however, do a separate post on this topic in my VIP Elite tier - this is the tier that offers photography tuition/mentoring. I know that some members in that tier are likely to find my experience interesting.
Last but not least, I am not resting on my laurels. If you have any feedback or suggestions, for either my Instagram or Patreon, please do not hesitate to DM or write a comment under this post.
