I Had 2 Million Followers, But My Bank Account Was Empty. (Here is How I Fixed It).

By Rahul, Fitness Coach

Let’s face it.

If you were to view my Instagram page, you would definitely think that I am a millionaire. I have 2 million followers. Moreover, my daily workout videos are watched by millions of viewers. To add to that, my inbox is always full of people asking, "Tell me, how can I get abs like yours?"

On the surface, I was a success. But, the reality? I was not making a single penny.

I had spent a lot of time creating a perfect "30-Day Fat Loss" diet plan. It was very good. I was sure that people would buy it.

Then I did what any normal content creator would do. I posted a video in which I said:

"Plan is available through the link in my bio!"

After this, I thought I would soon become a millionaire. A spoiler alert: it didn't take place.

The "Link in Bio" Mistake

Then it hit me that I was making a monumental blunder. I was placing too many obstacles in the path of the would-be buyers.

Just think: One man sees my clip. He is inspired at that very moment. He wants to purchase it. But I do the following to him:

1 Shut the video.

2 Go to my profile.

3 Click the link.

4 Look for the proper one among 15 other links.

He is puzzled. He becomes tired. He quits the app. The sale is lost.

I was leading people through a labyrinth and was asking myself why they couldn't get out.

How I Changed One Sentence

I wanted a quicker method. I was looking to pass the plan to them as they were viewing.

That is when PILOT DM came into the picture.

I made up my mind to do something different. I quit asking people to "visit the link in bio."

During my next video, I showed my diet chart and casually stated:

"Would you like this diet plan? Just write down the word 'FATLOSS' in the comments and I will instantly send you the link."

I was anxious. Will it work?

The Crazy Results

I put my phone down and went to the gym. When I came back after 45 minutes, I couldn't believe what I saw.

The Comments: My phone was not-stop buzzing. 2,000 people had written "FATLOSS" in the comments.

The Magic: I had not written a single reply. PILOT DM had automatically sent a reply.
