Glad to see you here!

I knew you were an action taker.

I’m sure you’re not too interested in my story

or any of that fluff and typical yada yada,
therefore I’ll not waste your time and let’s dive
straight into goldmines of knowledge.

It wouldn’t hurt, if you’d grab yourself a pen

and paper to write the most valuable stuff
done.

WHY CONVERSION
MATTERS?
In order to understand the power of conver-
sion rate (CVR), let us take a look at some-
thing everyone has seen: cars.

Imagine two cars next to each other, compet-

ing who can reach the finish line faster.

In the first case, the Ferrari reaches the finish

line in seconds.

Whilst in the second, the Ford will struggle to

keep up.

The first car is a red Ferrari, state of the art ve-

hicle capable of going past 300 Km/h.

In the first case, the Ferrari reaches the finish

line in secs.

The other is a blue Ford truck from the

80s which is breaking apart on the race-
track.

In the first case, the Ferrari reaches the finish
line in seconds.

Whilst in the second, the Ford will struggle to

keep up.

Your vehicle matters. In the case of lnsta-

gram, the vehicle is your profile, and the
fuel is profile visits. Optimize your profile
completely, that way you will reach the
finish line faster!

Example:

The difference between a Bad (10-15%) and a

Great (25-35%) conversion rate can cost you
thousands of followers.

Let us do a quick experiment to prove it:

1000 profile visits X 10% CRV = 100 followers
1000 profile visits X 30% CRV = 300 followers

In a month, this is an 800 follower differ-

ence.

In a year, this is a 9600 follower difference.

This is the power of a great CVR.

IMPROVE YOUR CVR
What are heat maps, and how can they
change your lnstagram profile forever?

Heat maps are a data visualization technique

used primarily for website optimization.

Having said that, They are extremely handy

when we talk about lnstagram growth as well.

Why, you may ask? Heat maps enable us to

understandwhat people look at on our pro-
file and how it impacts them.

In other words, they tell us which parts of our

lnstagram pages we should focus on for the
best CVR.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 04
Based on the 4 years of experience in the in-
dustry, this is the heat map I have created for
lnstagram profiles.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 05
The warmer a region is, the more attention
the user has given it.

The colder a region Is, the less attention the

user has given it.

This allows us to rank the different elements

of our lnstagram profiles and better under-
stand how a user goes through them.

The trick is to make sure each element is

strong on its own but it also flows naturally
with how users check our profiles.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 06
INSTAGRAM PROFILE

EXCELLENT BIO
What Is The Role Of The Bio:

A great bio will be aware of the elements that

surround it And continue the journey the user
is on:

The Bio is usually the 4th element the

user sees after:

> The profile picture

> The handle
> The headline

The goal of the bio is to align with the inter-

ests of the user, show how your profile can be
beneficial and then spark action!

If you lose the attention of the user in your bio,

or don’t give clear directive what the user
should do next, you lose a lot of opportunities
for conversion.

Check the following page for tips on creating

a heroic bio.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 16
Examples Of Outstanding Bio:

Great Bio
1. I help people dominate social
media
Gives the user a benefit (dominate social)
2. I create bold content +
strategies
Gives context to line 1
3. DM me “CASH” and level up
Gives a clear call-to-action

Bad Bio
1. Owner of @boringbio
Focused on himself, no value to user
2. PPC SEO For the highest ROI
Use of jargon + no formatting
3. Like my content, follow, DM me
Too many call-to-actions + unclear

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 17
What Makes A Great Bio:

01. Includes keywords

02. Doesn’t repeat headline
03. No technical words/jargon
04. First line focused on users
05. Second line giving context on 1st
06. Third line giving a simple Call-To-Action
07. No hashtags/special symbols
08. If you use emojis, brand them

Ain’t a rocket-science, is it?

EYE-CATCHING FEED
What Is The Role Of The Feed:

Your feed, and to be specific, your last 12 posts,

have one of the biggest roles in turning a pro-
file visit into a follower.

The strength of your feed doesn’t only come

down to your feed layout - rather, a combina-
tion of these elements should be considered:

• Do you post consistently?

• Do your post look visually cohesive?
• Are the topics of your posts relevant to
bio/
headline?

The combination of the look, feel and rele-

vance attributes to the overall strength of your
feed (following a feed layout is a bonus).

In the next few pages, we will go over the

checklist for a eye-catching feed.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 19
What Makes A Heroic Feed:

01. Consistent visual identity

02. Relevant to bio/headline
03. Easy to see from far away
04. Last 12 posts show your content pillars
05. Last 12 posts showcase what you do
06. Has diverse content formats

- Isn’t limited to the pattern you follow, but in-

cludes: fonts, imagery, colors, etc

- Take 1 step back, can you still see your con-

tent clearly? Avoid small text + detailed
images as your posts will appear smaller in
Hashtag/Explore pages than on your Feed

- Use case-studies, informative posts, testimo-

nials to showcase how you help people

Great examples of fabolous feeds are:

MIGHTY HIGHLIGHTS
What Is The Role Of Highlights:

A good set of highlights can not only increase

the time a user spends on your profile (and
thus your CVR), but they can also act as addi-
tional call-to-actions.

In order to use highlights to the utmost of

their potential, they have to achieve these 3
things:

1. Hook Attention
2. Retain Attention
3. Command Attention

In the next few pages, we are going to re-

verse-engineer how we can do this and I will
give you a few highlights that you absolutely
must-have in your profile.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 21
Examples Of Working Highlights:

1. About Me
Who are you?
How do you help others?
Simple call to action

2. Services
What do you offer?
Who do you help?
What is your process?
Testimonial
Clear Call to action

3. Products
What is the product?
Who is it for?
What are the benefits?
Testimonial
Simple Call to action

4. Social Proof
Case studies
Awards
Publications
Courses
Testimonial

@wifigrinders
@incomerelated
@wealthfella 22
What Makes Heroic Highlights:

1. Keep people on your profile

2. Follow a clear structure

3. Prioritizes the 1st highlight

4. Have 3-5 slides per highlight

5. Is updated frequently
(every quarter)

6. Introduces who you are

7. Shares how you help people

8. Builds authority with social proof

9. Have covers that fit your visuals

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 23
ALTERNATIVE FEEDS
What Is The Role Of Alternative Feeds:

Similar to Highlights, the goal of Alternative

Feeds is to increase the time people spend on
your profile.

Another benefit of having multiple feeds is

the fact that you can connect with your
audience on different levels.

Here are the Alternative Feeds you can set-up

on IG:

01. Tagged Friends

02. Reels Feed
03. IGTVFeed
04. Guides Feed
05. Shop Feed
06. Special Filter Feed

Each feed has a specific purpose based on

which we can optimise them.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 23
24
What Makes Heroic Alternative Feeds:

1. Are updated frequently (every month)

2. Use Guides to organize your posts

3. Use Tagged Feed as a portfolio

4. Use IGTV to nurture your community

5. Use Reels to attract a larger community

6. Use Effects for branding/growth

7. Use Shop for monetization

8. Have separate pinned posts on the Reels

Feed.

BONUS ELEMENTS
Which Are The Bonus Elements:

In addition to the main elements of your

profile, there are some miscellaneous
elements, which when added together can
make an impact on your profile.

These Bonus Elements are:

1. Catagory of account
2. Action Button
3. FAQ Section

The next page will showcase the bonus

elements and how you can use them in your
profile.

What Makes Great Bonus Elements:

1. Category of account is searchable

2. Category of account is relevant
3. Category of account is visible
4. Add action buttons if relevant
5. Set FAQ if relevant

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 26
PERFECT PROFILE
CHECKLIST
I know that optimizing each small element of
your profile can be daunting.

Here is a checklist you can use to make sure

everything is optimized:

1. Branded profile picture which is scalable

2. Short & easy to remember handle with
keywords
3. Headline optimised for search
4. Relevant category of an account
5. Optimised bio:
> Focuses on benefits
> Gives clarity
> Simple CTA
6. 3 Highlights with 3-5 slides each
7. 5 Alternative feeds
8. Optimised feed:
> Cohesive visuals
> Relevant to bio/headline
> Different content formats

TRACK CONVERSION
RATE
Based on studying the previous pages, you
should have a good idea of what makes a
Ferrari type profile and a Ford type profile.

Having said that, optimising your profile once

doesn’t mean you are done.

You need to maintain your profile.

Your business, content, audience, platform

might change. And that means your profile
needs to change as well.

That is why knowing how to change elements

of your profile and test their effectiveness is
key.

@wifigrinders
@wealthfella
@incomerelated 28
Here are the steps you need to take:

Step 1: Change 1 element at a time

(If your results improve or worsen, you know
what caused it)

Step 2: Gather enough data

(Test for 2-4 weeks (with minimum 100 profile
visits/weekly)

Step 3: Analyze your results using an A/B

test calculator

> Input profile visits and followers you got in

week A
> Input profile visits and followers you got in
week B
> Validate if the results are statistically
significant

This ensures that the changes you made

improved your stats, not pure luck.
