Growing up your Instagram followers

In the Content creation trap, I wrote about the useless activities some people do and how they lead to nowhere.

I believe the same is for Instagram. The people who I see are the most active, they really want to sell you something.

If you can’t provide clear value, you might end up having a lot of followers and wasted all your time for nothings.

So instead of trying to lure followers with some nonsense things(which by the way everyone is doing), try to be unique and provide a value.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
