Well...ok it took a little longer but let me tell you the story.

First, I did not pay anyone to get me verified or anything like that. Always be cautious about those types of deals.

I actually applied to be verified several times and was denied. (You can apply via the Instagram app every 30 days).

After being denied several times I began to take several actions that I felt (and heard from reps) that were critical to getting verified.

Although, this is not everything I did...these are some key points.

1. Unique and notable content. 
Memes and unoriginal content are not going to help you get verified. You must have something unique that brands you.

2. Good Press
More than the press you pay for. Come on, we all know you can pay to get into a lot of different magazines and sites. It has to be authentic and from multiple locations.

3. Your BIO is a great place to communicate your Rockstar status. Show Instagram you’re someone special.

4. Podcast.
Get on as many podcast as possible. These give you good high ranking links. 
(Have a podcast? I’d love to be a guest).

5. Build Your Other Social Media Platforms.

These should look really good and also express the same rockstar type status.

Well...after I had all these things in place I simply submitted the application via the Instagram app and BOOM ...2 hours later I received a notification and I was verified!

I’ve worked with several of my clients and coaching students and also been able to help them get verified using these methods.
