MEET JASMINE

When Jasmine graduated from college with a degree in fashion, she immediately decided she didn’t want to do fashion anymore. She decided that she wanted to launch an online magazine instead.

She noticed that many of her friends graduated college feeling like there was a huge gap between what they’d learned in college and what they needed to know for the real world, like personal finance and how to translate a degree into a thriving career. So, she decided to create a magazine to fill that gap, and Miss Millennia Magazine entered into the world.

After launch, she found that she was mostly making money through sponsored posts. And although she was doing fairly well, she realized that she made only about $10-$50 a post through Facebook or Twitter but could make up to $500 a post through Instagram. But she didn’t have enough followers to partner with bigger brands.

That’s where Instagram Domination came in.

“I think taking the course, in general, made me realize how little I knew about Instagram.”

Through the course, Jasmine learned the importance of using hashtags and targeting to find potential audience-members on Instagram. She says she was amazed at how quickly the growth hacking techniques shared through the course helped her business take off.

“You will definitely see success from it. I definitely saw success from it and don’t know why anyone else wouldn’t. If you’re trying to get more sales or get more traffic or just grow your Instagram account so you can get more sponsorships, I think this course is great for that.”

In less than a year, she reached 10k followers and doors flew open to those bigger partnerships she’d always coveted.

In the future, she wants to retake the course to learn about the new features — like Instagram stories and IGTV — that didn’t exist when she took the course the first time. She is excited by the possibilities these new features hold, and she can’t wait to see her Instagram and blog continue to grow.
