I just helped this creator, this
creator, and this creator go viral on
Instagram. And if you implement the
five-step strategy I'm going to share
with you in this video and begin to make
these changes, you could go viral on
Instagram, too. [music] Change number
one is you need to make sure that you're
remaking the videos that have done
really well for you in the last 90 days.
And you don't only want to go after the
videos that have gotten you the most
views. You also want to go after videos
that have gotten you the most followers.
Here's how you could do that. So, what
you need to do is you need to pull up
your Instagram right here. You want to
make sure that you are on your business
page. This is going to be the business
page for me. Then you want to click on
this professional dashboard right here.
Now, what this is going to do is load up
this screen where you are then going to
click on views. And then you want to
scroll down to top content right here.
You want to click on see all right here.
And then you want to bring out this view
to be the last 3 months. Now, this right
here is going to show you your videos by
views. And we could see that I've had
several videos that have done pretty
well. In addition to that, what we could
do is we can also sort this not only by
views but by follows. And if we click
apply right here, this will then show us
how many followers we get for each video
that we upload. In addition to that, we
could come over here and we could look
at this by shares and click apply. And
this is basically going to show us which
of our content the most people are
engaging with and what most people want
to see. And what this is going to do is
reveal to you what topics, what formats,
and what type of content you need to
make sure that you're remaking because
the easiest way for you to go viral on
Instagram is recreating the success that
you've already had instead of you trying
to recreate the wheel every single time
you try to post. In addition to that, I
do want to emphasize that you should be
reposting your best content every 30
days at least three times. So when you
have a video go viral, wait 30 days,
repost it. wait another 30 days, repost
it, wait another 30 days, repost it. And
what this is going to do is help you get
more views on Instagram while spending
less time creating content because
you're not going to have to be creating
new content every single day when you
use a repost strategy. Change number two
is I would strongly suggest you get
metaverification right now. I mean, you
see this all over the internet and you
see it all over Instagram. If you get
metaverification, it does three things
for you. One, it increase the odds that
you end up ranking for search on
Instagram, which helps you get more
views and helps you go viral. Two, it
helps you build more trust with people
and stand out more. And three, Instagram
has literally come out and said that
people that have metaverified end up
getting more reach because Instagram is
giving them more views. So please, if
you're serious about growing on
Instagram, I would strongly suggest you
have metaverified because if you don't
have it, it is actually holding you back
now. And this just started to become
true. And in 2026, this is only going to
be even more important. So please, if
you want to go viral, make sure you have
Metaverified. You need to be investing
in your success on Instagram. Now,
change number three is you need to make
sure that you're putting really good
cover images on your posts. And you also
need to make sure your metadata is going
to be set up correctly. Now, when I talk
about your metadata, I'm really talking
about four things. one that you have a
good script that has the keyword that
you want Instagram to think your video
is about in the first line. That keyword
should also be in the hook of your
video, in your description, and in your
hashtags. Now, I know what you're
thinking, Rob, this sounds like a lot of
work every single time that I go to post
something on Instagram, but there's
actually a new AI tool that makes this
incredibly easy to do. But before I show
you that, I wanted to show you somebody
that's doing this perfectly, so you can
see what this actually looks like. Now,
the creator that's doing a great job
with this is going to be my client,
Healthy Emmy, because if we come over to
her reels, we could see that she does
everything that I just showed you.
Almost all the time, she has a great
cover image on here. In addition to
that, if we click on this, we could see
postpartum mom's fat. It's showing in
the hook here. She says it in the script
of her video. She has it in her
hashtags, and it's showing in her
description right here. So, she is
literally doing this perfectly. Now, the
way that you can actually do this and
replicate her success, is going to be
using contentbuddy.ai, which makes it
easier to go viral on Instagram and Tik
Tok. Check this out. So, when you sign
up for ContentBuddy, you're going to be
able to find exactly what's trending in
your niche on Instagram. And if we
scroll down here, you are going to see
tons of tools. So, they will literally
write your hooks for you. They will
generate your description and your
caption for you. They will even tell you
what keywords your ideal audience is
searching for. And now you could
actually generate Instagram covers
straight from this tool. For example,
let's say that we wanted to make a cover
about a weight loss transformation. We
could come over here, we could put in
hyperrealistic, and we could say weight
loss before and after transformation
for a guy. And then what we could do is
click on enhance prompt right here. This
goes through and actually gives us a
really, really good prompt. We click on
generate covers. And then this is going
to go through and this is actually going
to create that thumbnail or that cover.
And this is how creators like Healthy
Emmy are doing this in seconds in order
to increase their views. Now, just like
that, this went through and this
actually created this thumbnail right
here. And if we wanted to change
anything, we just come over here, click
on edit, and then we just say whatever
changes we want to make. Now, in
addition to that, what this tool also
makes really easy is remixing other
viral videos. For example, you just come
into AI video remixer right here, click
on launch tool, and then what this is
going to let you do is come over to a
video that went viral in your niche. For
example, we could take Emy's video right
here that went viral. Put the link in
right here. Click on remix video. And
then this is going to go through and
give you a brand new script, brand new
hooks, brand new description, brand new
hashtags, all based on the topic of the
original video. And you could use this
on your own content or on somebody
else's or a competitor's content so you
can make better videos for Instagram.
And just like that, this went through.
It optimized the script right here, gave
us alternative hooks, gave us a new
caption, and it even gives us trending
hashtags. And let's say we wanted to
change any of these, you would literally
just come over here, click on
regenerate, and it'll make a new one for
you. And the best part about Content
Buddy is that you could go to the pin
comment below right now and get started
with it today for only $1. Please don't
let $1 be the difference between you
going viral on Instagram or you
continuing to struggle and flop. Now,
change number four is you need to make
sure that every single time that you
post a real or you post a photo on
Instagram that you're going through and
you are adding this to your story. In
addition to that, you need to make sure
that you have several followers, ideally
more than five, that are going to be
reposting all of your content. If you
don't know what a repost is, it's a
brand new Instagram feature that just
came out. And essentially what it allows
people to do is it allows people to show
your content to all their followers. So,
if you sent me one of your posts and I
reposted it, your piece of content would
then get shown to all my followers and I
can even add in a little comment that
says, "Yeah, I like this video or I like
this tip or I thought that this was
funny." And essentially, Instagram is
looking for people doing this. So, if
you want to go viral, I would strongly
suggest getting a group of people that
are going to be doing that consistently.
And obviously, you don't want to do this
in a manipulative way. You want to do
this in a way where it's genuinely
people who audience is going to like the
content that you're putting out. Because
when you do this, it increase the odds
that your posts end up going viral. In
fact, if you have somebody repost your
content with over a million followers or
with 100,000 followers, it pretty much
guarantees the fact that you're going to
go viral because then your content is
going to get shown to all their
followers so long as their followers are
real. Then the fifth change that you
need to make sure that you're making is
you need to start posting less on
Instagram. Now, you're probably really
surprised that I'm saying this because
I've been the guy that's been screaming
that you should be posting two to three
times a day on Instagram for the last
few years now. In the past, this was
true. But today, I would only post one
time a day on Instagram. In fact, you
could get away with posting only four to
five times a week on Instagram. And I
would strongly suggest that you take
advantage of this. Now, when I say only
post one time a day or only post four to
five times a day, what I'm talking about
are your public posts that you are
posting to your feed or to the reals
feed. Now, that doesn't mean that you're
done posting for the day when you post
that piece of content because what you
should be doing is posting three to five
trial reels every single day. And you
want to keep posting these trial reels.
In the beginning, they're going to get
low views. They might get 50 views. They
might get a few hundred views. It's not
going to be something crazy, but after
you do this for a few weeks, the trial
reels algorithm is going to get warmed
up and then your trial reels are going
to start to get a lot of views. And what
this does is increase the odds that your
other posts go viral and that your
public posts go viral because the way
that a trial reel works is your content
gets shown to brand new people. If they
interact with your content, if they
repost it, they like it, they save it,
they comment on it, they share it, or
even they watch it past the first three
seconds, then all of your other content,
all of your older content, all of your
newer content, then get shown to those
individuals. So, this is a way for you
to supercharge your Instagram, start
getting more views, and start going
viral without having to flood your
followers with a bunch of posts that
they don't want to see. Now, if you want
to grow faster on Instagram the same
exact way that I helped this creator do
it, this creator do it, and this creator
do it, I personally want to work with
you one-on-one to take the guesswork out
of growing on Instagram. Because it
doesn't have to be hard right now in
2026 to grow faster on Instagram. And I
want to guide you and help you each step
along the way and actually work together
one-on-one in order to make that happen.
If that sounds interesting, well, please

walks you through the three different
ways we can work together one-on-one and
I can help you grow faster. I'll see you
