Someone asks me on Clubhouse today 👉🏻 “How do you grow your Instagram account?”

💁🏻‍♀️If only I get a dollar every time someone asks that question. Anyway, here’s my quick answer:

1️⃣ Know your NICHE - meaning who are you are speaking to. Who do you want to attract? It’s not about having every Tom, Dick and Harry following you, just to boost that number of followers.

Be specific. What type of woman needs your content? What’s her burning pain? Desire? Dream?

How are you the person she would look up to? Or relate to?

Every single post & story should be INTENTIONALLY speaking to your avatar. Solve her problems. You can start by nailing your bio and sharing a mix of educational + inspirational content that speaks to her specific problems.

2️⃣ WORK WITH the algorithm. Understand what Instagram wants and how your post could reach more people. Don’t try to trick the algorithm - you’ll alway be playing catch-up. Also, the algorithm is not out to screw you. It’s ensuring the best experience for all the users.

Study hashtags, Google trend, TikTok and YouTube to see what specific topics in your niche are trending. In short, what does your niche want to see?

3️⃣ Raise your personal BRAND. See what everyone else in your industry is doing? Now, go the other direction. Stand apart.

Instead of chasing your followers and brand deals, learn what would ATTRACT them to you. Trust me, it’s a much more fun game to play.😌

Put your blinders on and just do you. Find your voice & share your story. Stay in your own lane & focus your energy on clearing your mental space. That’s how you can be creative. And that includes unfollowing people who doesn’t add value to your consumption. (Pro-tip: You can mute them if you’re friends with them 😆)

PS: I’m working on an IG Growth Bootcamp for those who wants to grow on IG. I want you to make progress - so there will be a small fee. Drop me a DM if you’re interested!

👏🏻👏🏻 Now action time. Which of these can you implement right away! Comment and let’s chat!

The struggle to perfection – the paintings by Lo Chan Peng

Pan An-Yi, Director of Graduate Stdies, The department of the History of Art & Visual Studies, Cornell University

Historic Figures provide concrete clarification to A Brief History of Time and showcase the artist’s perspective and philosophical approaches to the history of humanity. The historical personae he has selected narrate the progress from “godliness” to the “Theory of Evolution” followed by “Anthropocentrism” and “Eurocentrism” before the expansion of Imperialism and Capitalism which then led to Colonialism and eventually the rise of “Socialism”. The “Nazism” of World War II in Europe and “Japanese Imperialism” caused the unprecedented disaster. Skrik from the Portraiture collection shows Lo’s concerns over the working class whom reiterated their mindless tasks in order to survive: “I think I now have a better understanding of this world and have realised how helpless I am in this vast universe.”

Lo tactfully chooses to paint former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American president Abraham Lincoln as a contrast and comparison. Churchill fought against the invasion of Nazism, even though he succeeded with the help of allies, the rise of Neo-Nazism and extreme right-wing supporters in recent years are slowly gaining advocates in Europe. The current president of the United States Donald Trump sees himself as a pioneer like Lincoln, yet his deep-rooted racism has encouraged the believers of extreme right-wing philosophy and white supremacy. Despite his defeat in the recent presidential election, the issues regarding extreme right-wing supporters in Europe and America would remain a challenging one. Both Churchill and Lincoln reflect on the bight and the good of humanity, and they are praised for their reminding us of the dark side of humanity.

Through Portraiture, Lo explores the struggles men encounter on their path to the godliness. The female sitter and plants stand for the friction between temptation and the sacred, which then lead to the nuanced relationship between “consciousness” and “the ability to define good and evil”, meaning the connection between the “mortal” and the “saintly” .

When my producers asked me what I’d like to sing about for my third single and the first thing that came to my mind was “self-love” 💗 With everything that is going on, in my personal journey and in today’s society, most of us are just so clouded by others’ judgments that we let them dictate our lives. #MAHAL talks about how it’s okay to “pentingkan diri sendiri” and to “pertahankan harga diri(ku)” 💗 Every word, metaphor, hook reflects a story and has a meaning behind it. One of the verses that hits close to home is “biar lambat tempo, belum tamat tempoh” — a reminder of how we should focus on our own progress no matter how slow it is & at the end of the day, we should be grateful that we are still alive! 🙌🏼
