So you want to become a fake rich influencer on Instagram!
You may think that you actually need to be rich to become a rich influencer, but nothing is more far from the reality: real rich people don't care about courses on Instagram and random people around them — they manage their company, they manage their assets, and in the free time they enjoy life with people of their level, trying to stay under the radar as much as possible.

But since you are not really rich you need to look rich in order to obtain and exploit paying followers.

This is the recipe:

1 — Create a new Instagram account with a false but realistic name

This is easy, not much to explain here except that you will want to post in this account some pictures that "proves" that you actually are a smart ass rich guy, and then you will sell your wisdom on how to become rich to your victims.

2 — Rent a super car

Yes: super car are rentable.
For example you can rent a Bentley for a day for just $900 here: https://pt.rentluxecar.com/auto/bentley-gtc-4

You can rent a Bentley for less than $1.000 for an afternoon

Since all that you need is some pictures, you can also arrange to the dealer to have a photo op on many cars and just rent one. You need to go there with a lot of different clothes, make some picture on that Lambo, change clothes, make other pictures on that Ferrari, change clothes, and finally rent for some hours the Bentley and make the final photo op.

3 — Rent watches

You can rent watches like you can rent a car, they are just cheaper, for example here: http://borrowedtimewatches.com/.

Since watches will only appear in photo ops you can just buy a cheap replica and no one will ever know from a picture.

4 —Villas, swimming pools, restaurants

This is a little more difficult to obtain, but it get easier as long as you get followers.
You need to take some pictures in fancy places, so you need to get there somehow, here are some options:
- find work as gardener in a villa
- work as cleaner guy in a villa
- sneak in at a wedding party
- pay for a dinner party in a fancy place
- work as a real estate agent
- pretend to be a real estate agent
- if you are desperate Photoshop you in

Once you get some followers (more on this later) you can tell a restaurant owner that you will make free marketing to his place if he let you make a photo op there. The better you get at scamming people the more free stuff you will receive.

5 — Followers

No one will care about you at the beginning so you will need to buy followers.
There are many services that sell followers, like https://goread.io/buy-instagram-followers:

You can have 1M (fake) followers for under $3,000.00

6 — Cash it out

Now you have a fancy Instagram account with some pictures and some videos, it's time to cash it out. There are many ways you can abuse your position now:

  • Go in a restaurant, an hotel, everywhere, show them that you are mr Rich with 1 Million followers and ask them to let you in, let you eat for free. (If you are good, and they don't know how a fake influencer looks like you may also get paid for this)
  • Use that leverage to post new content and start acquiring real followers (they will be very few, but they are your money pigs)
  • Now it's time to tell them how you got so rich, you can invent any kind of story.
    Today the trend is to tell them that you are a genius of Crypto, and you are such a good person that you will create a secret chat just to share with few lucky people your wise secret to become rich. You are going to ask some money to join, but what is a little fee compared to the gigantic wealth secret you are going to share with them?
    Actually if you really were so rich you definitely won't need their $10 subscription, but they don't know and for some reason they will not ask.

7 — The secret chat

If you want a news to spread, tell few people the news and tell them it is a secret.

They will feel special to know it and they will naturally tell it to their friends as a kind sign of friendship and to show them how special they are to know such a secret.

You will exploit this human behavior.

You will make a "secret" group asking people to pay to join, then you will look for a DeFi token that is unknown and that has relatively little liquidity.

You will buy a lot of that token, not all at once but in many days, but if you buy a lot the price will go up and you don't want to buy expensive.

So you have to make some fake account on Discord or Telegram (some friend can help) and you must FUD as much as possible that token, convince holders to sell, tell them that the project is dead, that devs are run away, anything will go because fear in people is the easiest feeling to activate.

So you managed to keep the price down an you have bought a lot while fudding: good!

Now go in the secret chat and tell your paying followers that you are going to buy such token because it will moon. As easy as that.

They will buy the token en mass fomoing in. This will make the volumes and the price to skyrocket, other people completely outside of your orbit will see the token mooning and they will fomo in too.

Wait a couple of days and sell all your token now that the price is on the moon.

What happened is that your followers gave their money to you through the token.

Now you are not rich, but you have more money than before, you can pay some of your debt, you can run away or you can invest those money to organize the next scam.

8 — Manage cheated people

People will not be happy to have lost all that money, they may leave your precious secret chat and call you a scammer.

You can prevent this telling them that the price collapsed because of the token team: again you can tell them anything you like — devs run away, the token has been hacked, they don't deliver, anything!

Your followers will now believe anything you say because they are stressed and they are losing money and anger is the second easiest human feeling to exploit.
Keep them occupied and distracted creating anger and fear while they work a couple of months: you need them to earn more money before you scam them again, they have just sent you all the money they had after all; you cannot make a second scam so soon!

So this is it: good luck with your new career!

Now that you know how to be such an influencer you should also know how to spot and avoid one as soon as you see him. Use this power to keep your money in your wallet.

Hi, I’m -DvD-. I’m a mod in the Yel.finance Discord — this is why I invested on Yel.finance. Being on that Discord I realized which are the most misunderstood concepts of DeFi and here I try to simplify them.

I believe that knowledge should be free and accessible for all, but if you wish to offer me whatever beverage is good in your culture you can tip me at: 0xebDBbca4744C66E3aE39F997fD5fB7dE29874ce5, I’ll be super happy to know I helped someone! Cheers!
