Haha. it’s the first time I saw it… I have no idea how it works.

He has gained thousands followers in just several hours without posting anything. I wonder what he’s doing. I found some child accounts as well, but I don’t think he gains that many followers because of those child accounts.

Did you use an IG account with a profile picture?

I read somewhere that this is simply a sticker for comments and he just covered the comment part with something else. But this specific sticker was only available for choosen profiles, mainly Indonesia.

Either that or it’s because of the nature of the share function which is the most scalable way of getting exposure on any social media platform. When you have something unique or very eye catching you can get that exponential reach very easy.

Just imagine few people sharing this in their WhatsApp or Snapchat groups and their friends share it with their friends and family and so on. What he did is getting the attention of everyone as all people are wondering why their profile picture is showing up suddenly.

Anyways the traffic is not targeted and there is pretty much no business driven goal with this kind of thing. His page has no content and is just driving traffic to this story effect. It’s interesting for sure but not a growth method that could be replicated with every type of account or niche.
