One of the quotes I try to follow and something that Chris pretty much said: "If you focus on results you will never change. If you focus on change you will get results."
Chris being impatient is perfect because it keeps me engaged and keeps the video moving otherwise I would have left halfway. Great teamwork here with Chris molly and aron
LOL ;) The only thing you are getting from these fake apps is wasted time. They make you complete a survey, and then give you nothing back. Try incentafan, it's the only method that got me followers.
If any site tells you to do a survey before getting followers it's fake. Out of a whole bunch of videos I have watched the only real method that did the job for me was Incentafan.
Every time I'm sitting here lazy on my sofa and think: I don't want to create, I know nothing.. And here you are with another inspiring episode! It's weird but I get more energy after watching this!
Another awesome video. Super valuable inforamtion. Some kind feedback: I would like to see Chris be a bit more patient in general but especially with his team.
Thanks for doing this one Chris, we have a lot of trouble gaining traction on instagram for our photography company. We've picked up the pace lately on social media but still have a lot of stuff we could be doing better. After seeing this, I have a few more ideas.
I feel like if you're going to do the 3 in a series, you gotta make sure each individual in the series is interesting enough to stand alone, otherwise people get choppy spam in their feed, and the interaction is divided between the best image of the series.
When you start talking about the marble bust on 1:03:15 that's the head of Michelangelo's David. Probably the most famous sculpture ever. Thanks for the enriching discussion. The whole video was very helpful. Cheers!
I feel like some tech things and team things need to be worked out. It’s coming off less than ideal to fans and customers. It breeds a bit of inauthenticity. I love the way you can concisely explain things
This was an excellent show. and Sean Wes!? Very nice. Maybe you guys will engage in a debate on the value of community/awareness and you'll finally get that challenge you and Ash were discussing (iron sharpens iron). I'm looking forward to it.
Great advice, thanks! :) The problem with deleting posts: it completely screws your 3-of-one-topic/color/whatever-thing. Sometimes I see a big instagram account and there was a huge beautiful image showed trough 9 images and they obviously deleted a post from the past and now the big image isn't working anymore and aah that makes me so aggressive & sad, because it could have been so cool and now it's looking awful. And I think the same will happen if eg I always post a row (3 pictures) of one color scheme and a month later I decide to delete some of them, my whole overall design would be a mess then. :( So "deleting bad posts" over "main design" or vice versa?
1:33:05 Do not underestimate the value of building a community around your content My hope is the people in Poland, Turkey, China, India and Erzz-cheap-a-stan use your knowledge and raise their prices so that Michigan, Ohio, PA, Illinois and scattered throughout the the rest of the US in various ever expanding ghetto can get a living wage again.
This is so great. Thank you. My question: when finished artwork takes a lot of time to complete, what do you advise to post on Instagram in the interim? Work-in-progress shots don't always fit the earth shatteringly interesting Insta shots criteria.
Sleigh Creative is a perpetrator ; she's clearly hustling small town business owners by passing other peoples work as her own. Clearly not interested in growing her following on account of getting exposed. "This is like my style." Show your style! Please ask her to submit her own work for review. Highly disappointed in Chris Do for not calling her out on it! (1:08:50)
Too bad I was at work while this was going on. Also started to use Crayola for pre concept and pattern design. Would love to participate but not a graphic or motion designer
If any site demands that you finish a survey before getting followers it's not real. Out of a whole bunch of videos I have watched the one way that did the job for me was incentafan.
Would you be able to do this sort of video dedicated to growth on twitter, specifically how to get more impressions on your work (also I found this video really helpful so thank you guys alot) :)
Today (August 2021) I looked at the IG accounts of the people who got the reviews four years ago, and it was kind of depressing. All of them (except @marieryyoung who's doing great) had either stopped posting, given up, or disappeared entirely. So much great advice given, for free(!), but we still need to put the work and the hours in.
This is really very helpful. Instagram has really become an "essential" when it comes to social media marketing and creating a following for your brand. What can you say about tools for instagram like hashtag generating tools such as Hashatory? Do you think this can help us in building a genuine following in Instagram?
The Futur yes! Like waste few bucks on a promotion. And if so, which kind of posts are better for this? I’m an illustration and my instagram is @willianac_art
Guys! I love your videos and the idea of raw! But 1h and 40 min is a looooong video. Chris gives out so much good stuff I can't listen to this on the go. I need to sit down with a pencil. Please consider doing some shorter videos. Please.
What is your opinion about making a somewhat casestudy of a logo with Instagram Album, while keeping the first image a b&w version of the logo? This way keeping the overall profile look very clean
Finally I have found a thing that gets me followers. The site is called incentafan, and unlike the other crap it doesn't have surveys or dumb verifications.
“An idea strategist focused on human centered imagination” If someone came to me with a resume with that kind of "corporate speak", I’d want to punch them in the face! Such a turn-off. It just screams "I'm all about me". It's the same kind of mentality that people who would rather text than talk have. Or people who would rather post selfies on FB that make real friends. I don’t understand why people hide behind such bullshit when honest, authentic communication is so much more appealing and engaging.
Apologies, sometimes I forget that I’m not communicating directly and people can’t be expected to get my tone from text alone. That said, I’ve worked with people in the past who thought they were the shit, throwing out “tech speak” and “corporate speak” in an attempt to validate their ego, and resulting in alienating themselves from others instead.
Sorry..for me Aaron is terrible to listen to during the streams. The chemistry between him and Chris comes across like they hate each other, Aaron sounds like a complete smart arse and needs to grow up and Chris talks to him like a angry teacher. I know its called RAW but the bickering is chringey...just being honest guys, still love what you's are doing
I really like the non-sequitur cutaway to the girl who doesn't say much. You have to do more dadaist surreaistl stuff like that. She should be smoking a big stogey cigar blowing perfect smoke rings... and thats it. Cutaway to hamsters running on wheel... or whatever. Cosplay characters having a laser fight and they look at the camera start critiquing your shit. Hah
Hey Chris and team, another fab video. Just got to watch this and it came at a perfect time. Thanks for the great insight! It's along the ideas I have been thinking of and picked up some more pointers from the video. If you and the team ever have a minute to check out my page @artofkatewilliams and share some feedback that would be appreciated! Thank you
Are there any humans in these comments? Click here, click there... Nevermind, thanks for your video tutorial, I will test it. I have also confirmed that incentafan works really nice.... and it doesn't require surveys
Spacial design for brands 😆 🤦♂️ you can tell the dude is still a student. When you get thrown into the fire of the industry is when you really learn and gain skills. Aim for those effie awards.
One of the quotes I try to follow and something that Chris pretty much said: "If you focus on results you will never change. If you focus on change you will get results."
MistyAnime01 nice!!
Had this playing in the background whilst working, good job everyone :)
seriously i cant help but get this stupidest smile everytime Chris and Aaron interact, love the show.
we have some kind of funny chemistry.
Chris being impatient is perfect because it keeps me engaged and keeps the video moving otherwise I would have left halfway. Great teamwork here with Chris molly and aron
great. someone appreciates my attitude.
1:34:37 Love what you said there about building a community... the value of that (of no direct monetary weight) is so important.
Joe CKChan I believe in it but I could be wrong.
The Futur Ask the Amish about community.
When Chris was told to "double click" the image which resulted in liking the post LOL Hilarious
i got punched on live stream.
LOL ;) The only thing you are getting from these fake apps is wasted time. They make you complete a survey, and then give you nothing back. Try incentafan, it's the only method that got me followers.

LIE!! You finish a survey, they get money, you get wasted time. Incentafan worked for me, you get free followers no questions asked, no surveys.
Every time I'm sitting here lazy on my sofa and think: I don't want to create, I know nothing.. And here you are with another inspiring episode! It's weird but I get more energy after watching this!
this is GOLD. Thank you very much for this Chris and Team
Another awesome video. Super valuable inforamtion. Some kind feedback: I would like to see Chris be a bit more patient in general but especially with his team.
you are asking for the impossible. ;)
Super insightful content as always. I'd second the 'patience' critique above - directing on the fly can be super distracting from our perspective.
Thanks for doing this one Chris, we have a lot of trouble gaining traction on instagram for our photography company. We've picked up the pace lately on social media but still have a lot of stuff we could be doing better. After seeing this, I have a few more ideas.
Guillaume Pelletier good luck. Let's see how it works out.
I feel like if you're going to do the 3 in a series, you gotta make sure each individual in the series is interesting enough to stand alone, otherwise people get choppy spam in their feed, and the interaction is divided between the best image of the series.
study folks like serial cut and i love dust. they do it right.
but its like watching a movie, a little bit of highs and lows build up eventually :) Jus my own thoughts abt that :))
I miss these old live episodes. Made my work day really interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
When you start talking about the marble bust on 1:03:15 that's the head of Michelangelo's David. Probably the most famous sculpture ever. Thanks for the enriching discussion. The whole video was very helpful. Cheers!
Cheers
I am here for the invaluable tips and Aaron's whining. Perfect balance of knowledge and drama.
the one and only website that works for me.
wow i got so much value from this episode!
I learned so much from watching this! I hope to see a live website critique one day..
limemellowyellow yes. In a few weeks. Next crit will be about layout and typography.
I feel like some tech things and team things need to be worked out. It’s coming off less than ideal to fans and customers. It breeds a bit of inauthenticity. I love the way you can concisely explain things
This was an excellent show.
and Sean Wes!? Very nice. Maybe you guys will engage in a debate on the value of community/awareness and you'll finally get that challenge you and Ash were discussing (iron sharpens iron). I'm looking forward to it.
yeah. he sounds like a super nice guy and really informed. so i would love to debate or get schooled. either way.
Damn that list just keeps getting longer. Thanks guys. Loved the show.
mansi rastogi the list of submissions?
The Futur nope. My Chris Do recommended to do list. 😀
i see. you are getting too much homework from me.
Great advice, thanks! :)

You know, I actually love the "Title Music" . . . Ding, Ding Ding Ding . . . .
Man, those music intros and transitions are so good that seem like an HBO show. :D
that little giggle at the end XD
Thanks for keeping it real. Useful information here.
"Did you change anything? Well don't change anything!" 😂
This is so great. Thank you. My question: when finished artwork takes a lot of time to complete, what do you advise to post on Instagram in the interim? Work-in-progress shots don't always fit the earth shatteringly interesting Insta shots criteria.
believe it or not people do enjoy process as well. just do a good of documenting it. creativity is messy. don't try to make it too sterile.
Thanks for what you are doing!
Hard pill to swallow yet changes to Instagram page has to be made!
I'm learning a lot too. I'm not a designer or graphics person at all...
Hi-Fi Insider ha, I thought this name sounded familiar!
Sleigh Creative is a perpetrator ; she's clearly hustling small town business owners by passing other peoples work as her own. Clearly not interested in growing her following on account of getting exposed. "This is like my style." Show your style! Please ask her to submit her own work for review. Highly disappointed in Chris Do for not calling her out on it! (1:08:50)
what's your style? show me your work. it's not possible for me to know if someone has stolen anyone's work. you do realize that don't you?
Too bad I was at work while this was going on. Also started to use Crayola for pre concept and pattern design. Would love to participate but not a graphic or motion designer
1:34:33 garyvee would say that your getting practice on the platform as well.
If any site demands that you finish a survey before getting followers it's not real. Out of a whole bunch of videos I have watched the one way that did the job for me was incentafan.
laser-like focus
the best part is no surveys.
Would you be able to do this sort of video dedicated to growth on twitter, specifically how to get more impressions on your work (also I found this video really helpful so thank you guys alot) :)
yes. we have some ideas on that. next time we do social media review, i'll ask for twitter submissions only.
Thanks for the reply, loving the content all super helpful :)

It doesn’t happen by magic
Nothing is original. Its all been done. Copy then use that to create your own thing. There is never any harm in that.
learnt a lot from this streams!
but still, there is question i wanna ask.
Would it be boring if I posting too consistently?
ltc Carol nope. That's where your creativity comes into play.
you guys are fabulous!
❤️u2
I absolutely love this video, learning a lot and get really inspired
Glad to hear.
incentafan is the best
It worked and is awesome
Thank u it worked

What can you say about tools for instagram like hashtag generating tools such as Hashatory? Do you think this can help us in building a genuine following in Instagram?
hashtags helps but i think you can guess which tags are relevant right?
Should I boost my posts on Instagram? Is it worth?
For an ad or your work?
The Futur yes! Like waste few bucks on a promotion. And if so, which kind of posts are better for this? I’m an illustration and my instagram is @willianac_art
Thank you it worked:)
yay! congrats.
28:28 so that's where Lil Nas X's idea came from
You guys said something about submitting work for a critique where do I submit that stuff??
FB page. go there. next one is coming up on Friday.
Hey how can I have my stuff critiqued?
thanks, it is real
Guys! I love your videos and the idea of raw! But 1h and 40 min is a looooong video. Chris gives out so much good stuff I can't listen to this on the go. I need to sit down with a pencil. Please consider doing some shorter videos. Please.
Ana Maria we will cut them down for easier consumption.
guys...get the audio straight ......if you have 2 mics on ON at the same time its chaos....
What is your opinion about making a somewhat casestudy of a logo with Instagram Album, while keeping the first image a b&w version of the logo? This way keeping the overall profile look very clean
Sharper I like that. Give it a shot.
Was doing this for few months now, will keep it too!
What's your gram?
Finally I have found a thing that gets me followers. The site is called incentafan, and unlike the other crap it doesn't have surveys or dumb verifications.
Yeah, I got more than thousand real followers at the moment.
and... ?
@thefutur can you make a video about FB and Instagram promotions/boosts?
what do you want to know?
great
1:26:10 Scientist X? More like Savage X!
Hahah xD
Hurray, i have a thousand followers at the moment.
The guy at 35:13 keeps asking photography questions. Seems like he should push his photography more. Go be an architectural photographer.
28:35 Separate but equal. ^-^
I think Molly could be part of GOT cast.
who should she play?
Love this, do the same with other social networks! :)
Angélica Ibarra we would if people submitted.
“An idea strategist focused on human centered imagination”
If someone came to me with a resume with that kind of "corporate speak", I’d want to punch them in the face! Such a turn-off. It just screams "I'm all about me".

I don’t understand why people hide behind such bullshit when honest, authentic communication is so much more appealing and engaging.
LorenzoNW those are very strong words. I understand where you are coming from but so much hostility in your response can't be healthy.
Apologies, sometimes I forget that I’m not communicating directly and people can’t be expected to get my tone from text alone. That said, I’ve worked with people in the past who thought they were the shit, throwing out “tech speak” and “corporate speak” in an attempt to validate their ego, and resulting in alienating themselves from others instead.
Good
why can't molly talk? :c
JoeIsBackk she can.
workss :D
S O L I D E P I S O D E ! :)
thanks man. appreciate it.
Another great episode! Does anyone know whats Arun/Scientist X's new instagram handle? I can't seem to find @scientistx619 anymore on instagram.
instagram.com/scientistxdesigns/
Thank you so much for replying!
Sorry..for me Aaron is terrible to listen to during the streams. The chemistry between him and Chris comes across like they hate each other, Aaron sounds like a complete smart arse and needs to grow up and Chris talks to him like a angry teacher. I know its called RAW but the bickering is chringey...just being honest guys, still love what you's are doing
we love each other man.
Yooo wassup san jose reppin
santa teresa saints.
Leigh Longhorns🐂
That branding person really seems like she doesn't know what she's doing. The business she's getting is probably $20 to write a tag.
I really like the non-sequitur cutaway to the girl who doesn't say much. You have to do more dadaist surreaistl stuff like that. She should be smoking a big stogey cigar blowing perfect smoke rings... and thats it. Cutaway to hamsters running on wheel... or whatever. Cosplay characters having a laser fight and they look at the camera start critiquing your shit. Hah
ha. next level. we'll add animated gifs and non-sequitur
1:32:31 What happens to AAron? :XD
Loool...Someone's been watching Peter Mckinnon 😏
Living Above Waters hehe. I watch everything. Steal it all.
Hey Chris and team, another fab video. Just got to watch this and it came at a perfect time. Thanks for the great insight!
