With VidCon occurring last week, Meta has finally deemed it appropriate to take the opportunity by recording a live version of its creator podcast, referred to as "Close Friends Only", where the influential creators express their advice on how to connect on IG, as well as how they find it best to use the app.
Live session with creator Reece Feldman, along with Storm Reid, sharing several tips and notes on his and her individual creative journeys and how Instagram has allowed them to connect with a room full of people.

Most of the tips themselves are pretty general--unless use new features as they're released, carousels are good for engagement--but there are some interesting notes on how people with a lot of followers have built their audience in the app.

Though, given the celebrities that have been featured in "Close Friends Only" thus far, a lot of this is predicated on their fame outside of the app.
There are, again, some interesting notes in there. But I wouldn't say that the episodes are jam-packed with helpful tips and pointers for your approach.

But they may be worth considering. If you're looking for ways to boost your IG presence, maybe there are some notes in there that will be of specific value for you.

Or maybe you simply enjoy these creators and it's worth tuning in to hear how they connect using Instagram.
