Expert Circle of ReelsConf: How to Get x2 Views and New Followers

ReelsConf is a one-day online conference on social media promotion, based on the expert circle mechanics. This allows you to significantly increase the number of followers and gain a new interested audience in just a few days.

How it Works. The expert circle is a mechanism where several bloggers unite to organize a marathon or conference. The audience must subscribe to all the channels and complete tasks to get access to a private channel or other prizes. This benefits both the authors and the audience—resulting in everyone winning. Channels gain a new warm audience, and followers get engaging content.

Why it Works. Experts provide valuable information that’s not easily found online and only ask the audience to subscribe to their channels and complete simple tasks. For the target audience, this is an easy task, and for experts, it’s an opportunity to redirect or pool traffic, depending on their goals.

Initially, posts and/or reels are published where speakers warm up the audience and invite them to participate in live broadcasts where they share:

Guides;
Video tutorials;
Checklists for gaining followers.

What Must Be Included in the Post or Reel to Engage the Audience:

Number of winners
Duration of the giveaway
Additional channels to subscribe to in order to participate.

These posts or stories can range from one to several. However, it’s important not to post these materials too frequently. Inviting participation in the expert circle multiple times a day can irritate the audience and cause the opposite effect.

The conference day or launch of the private group arrives. All users who completed the tasks receive the lead magnets—the promised materials.

Work Stages

The speakers shared the latest insights on promotion through Reels. The conference took place on May 25.

Here’s what the experts covered:

Nikita Batmanov. A personal strategy that helped me grow 39 channels to 100k subscribers.
Genrikh Kremer. How to gain followers through challenges and sell services through them.
Dmitry Torgov. How to get thousands of followers through Reels funnels and ChatPlace tools in Instagram and Telegram.
Kirill Artamonov. 7 cheat codes that helped me gain +100,000 followers in one month. Bonus: 35 Reels ideas and trends for 2024.
Airat Shakur. How visibility helps find your formats and gain hundreds of thousands of followers. Bonus: Video lesson explaining why some of my students get 100k+ followers while others do not.

Manually distributing these bonuses was simply impossible—it was necessary to check if the user subscribed to all the channels. Fortunately, with the help of the ChatPlace chatbot and its template, subscription verification and bonus distribution were done automatically.

Speakers launched a chatbot built in ChatPlace. The audience had to subscribe to all 5 channels and complete the bot’s tasks. If everything was done correctly, they gained access to the conference’s private channel where they could get bonuses and watch valuable speaker sessions.
