Why Gary Vee’s $1.80 Strategy Works
If you’re not familiar with Gary Vee’s $1.80 strategy, then here’s a brief overview of it: go on Instagram (or Twitter and LinkedIn), find nine different hashtags that you have an interest in, and comment on ten posts from those nine hashtags. 90 comments equal two cents for each comment. 90 x .02 = $1.80.
You may be thinking that this sounds relatively simple. I’m here to tell you that it is not simple in the slightest. Finding 90 different posts to comment on takes a lot of work and humility as Gary likes to say.
Commenting “nice, cool, fff? (follow for follow)” does not get the job done. You have to study the copy of the post and comment something relevant to the picture, video, or caption.

This right here is a good example of how to approach this strategy. Leaving a genuine comment will greatly increase the chances of the other person engaging with you. Who knows, maybe they will even give you a follow on Instagram and be one of your top followers.
