Hey everyone, I'm in the early stages of launching my personal brand and honestly, it's overwhelming. I know visibility is key, especially on Instagram, but I can't afford major campaigns or influencers. Does anyone know of effective low-cost ways to build some early traction or social proof that actually works?

Building a personal brand online takes consistency, relatability, and sometimes a few strategic shortcuts to make the algorithm notice you. The early days are the hardest—but momentum compounds.
Yeah, I’ve been exactly where you are—starting out with zero followers and zero budget. One thing that helped me look more legit at the beginning was using the cheapest instagram followers site I could find that actually delivered real profiles, not bots. I didn’t expect miracles, but it gave my page enough of a boost to not look completely deserted. After that, I focused on reels, comments, and reaching out to niche creators. It’s not a magic fix, but it gave me enough social proof to get the ball rolling and attract actual followers who cared about my content.
