December 20, 2022 DEP 003: This is how Chava Mercado went from $7 to 7 figures in 3 years
Being an entrepreneur has many highs and lows. Chava Mercado knows this all too well.

He always had an entrepreneurial spirit and was able to bring it to light when he first started hosting parties in San Diego for local college students by taking them across the border to Mexico to party.

Hosting parties were fun but he knew it wasn’t going to last.

Eventually, his event planning gig turned into corporate marketing but ultimately led him to be frustrated and burnt out.

In this video, we learn about the rise of Chava Macado who went from $7 to 7 figures in 3 years. Now, he’s using Instagram to help grow his personal brand and company InMotion Media Group.

December 20, 2022 DEP 002: Niti Sirran got 1,000,000 views on an Instagram reel without spending money on ads. Heres how she did it.
Instagram growth can be very frustrating when you first start. You take hours to create a reel to get a few likes and views.

You eventually become frustrated and wind up quitting.

This excuse is normal on Instagram.

No growth…

You give up!

But what if there was a better way?

Niti Sarran is a 17-year-old based out of New Jersey who started a content growth agency for Instagram and Twitter which does $5k in monthly revenue.

In this episode, Niti shares with us how she started as an entrepreneur and shares her early success on Instagram growth.

But it wasn’t always easy for her.
She struggled for 8 months before she even made her first dollar online but in the end, she made it happen.
