I am sure I meet all of the requirements here except the "helpful and entertaining content" part. I can not be sure how successful I am in that regard.
MAC.
Michael, if they have not flagged you for anything. Then you are good. So don't worry about it. ^_^
If only IG popped this up before every post:
‘Are you about to embarrass yourself or violate policy?
Good post Paul
Lol, had to read your post twice before I caught your drift. If any of them tell you what their rules are while you are early in the piece.
Just saying ^_^ Cheers

Paul, as a creator who just began using Instagram, I appreciate how practical this checklist is. The checklist format makes it easy to run through before posting something that could backfire or get you into trouble later. It definitely beats guessing and hoping the algorithm instagram is using having a good day and does not punish me later.
So Micheal, are you saying that it is helpful?
That is what I said without saying it is helpful. I appreciate how practical this checklist is,
Thank you Michael. But really, that's just me processing my way forward, anfd just sharing it.
By the way, how does one get something to be a training? Can't find any literature to tell me how to do it.
FYI

Not sure to be honest, it is something that never has interested me so I have never looked into it. I know you have to have been here a while, and I know the general community used to be able to do it. But beyond that, I do not think it is a thing anymore. If you are interested, you can message Kyle or one of the 3 trainers Jay, Eric, or Vitality as ask them..
Micheal, I asked out of curiosity. It's not high on my list of priorities. Thanks anyway.
FYI, everybody believes I've been here a while. I joined in then dropped out. Only really came back on December 2nd. I been here, from my viewpoint only 56 days,
I'm as clueless as any newbie
Just saying ^_^ Cheers
I see. If you need a hand or have a question, just ask. There is a whole lot to take in here. Just take your time, learn something new every day, and apply what you have learned. It is a step-by-step program, and the building of your initial foundation is the most important part of the process. I would recommend sticking with something until you master it, then and only then, move on to the next hurdle like a cross-country runner.
That's very good advice. I've found that there are some basic things I seemed to have missed in Core Training that I have to go back to.
And there are things people talk about assuming I understand, when I don't. i not ashamed to ask stupid question. But yes Sun Tzu - A journey begins with a single step, so one step at a time.
Exactly. A step at a time.
Correct
