Purpose of the course: 

The course is designed to help content creators, marketers, and entrepreneurs understand and apply Jonah Berger’s STEPPS framework (Social Currency, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical Value, and Stories) to create viral and engaging Instagram content. It bridges the gap between theoretical principles of virality and their practical implementation, empowering learners to consistently create content that resonates with audiences and drives organic engagement.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only master the STEPPS framework to create viral Instagram content, but you’ll also gain access to an exclusive resource; 400 high-converting Instagram hooks!
