SECURE
YOUR
ACCOUNT

The original Minority Mindset account was started


in September, 2015.

By December 2015 we had grown to 17,900


followers. But, unfortunately, our account was
hacked into and we lost ALL of our followers.

We had to start @MinorityMindset again from


scratch so here are a few tips to help secure your
account.

STEP THREE

SECURE YOUR
ACCOUNT,
PART 2

1. Be sure to opt in for two-factor authentication on your Settings


section of Instagram
2. Have more than just an Instagram page, build a brand. When
we were hacked, we had less than 100 YouTube subscribers and about
150 Facebook followers.
3. Plan for the worst. If for some reason you cannot access your Insta-
gram account, at least you will be able to reach your audience from a
second platform

Thats Not All!
Follow the 9 steps every day, and

But thats not all!

Ive added 2 bonus tips that you can


use to amplify the growth of your page.

www.YouTube.com/MinorityMindset
17
BONUS 1

SHOUTOUTS
This is a great way to get a lot of followers
quick. Ask accounts with a similar
number of followers to do a shout out in
return for a shout out.

Larger accounts will charge for a


shoutout. If you have the money, it is a
good way to gain followers quick. But
its not necessary.

BONUS 2

Link

Social
Media

Dont post your content directly from Instagram onto Twitter or Facebook.
Spend the extra minute to go onto the second social media app to post the content.
When you post on Twitter from Instagram, the post will show up as a hyperlink rather
than an image.
Re-post the image onto Twitter and Facebook manually, and ask your followers to
follow your Instagram page.
Cross promote your brand on multiple-platforms, the goal isnt to have an Instagram
following, it is to build a brand!
