My Pet Rock Helped Me Gain 1000 Instagram Followers Overnight

I didn’t grow my Instagram account by using follow-for-follow or buying my followers. The only thing I did was pick up a rock that I found at a creek near a freeway. I knew this rock was special. A very special. So special, I named the rock George. George is a very timid rock. He has a dull brown appearance. In the distance he kind of looks like a turd. George may not be as pretty as a neatly groomed Afghan Hound but he is sure entertaining. So entertaining that he grew my dying Instagram amount to 1000 followers overnight.
How did that happen? It’s good you ask.
It all started after returning from the creek by the freeway. I declared this random rock a pet. Having a pet rock has its benefits. They’re free, clean, and they live forever. As with any new pet owner, I photographed pet rock all day. At least 20 times a day. I photographed George with the googly eyes I bought for him from the dollar store.

I photographed my pet rock-eating his first meal from home which was water and air.

I photographed my pet rock wearing a hat.

I even photographed my pet rock sleeping. Rocks are very adorable when they sleep. Did you know rocks look the same way when they sleep when they are awake? Amazing.
As for my Instagram, My Instagram account was full of random pictures of clouds, wood, and other badly photographed things. I only had 3 followers. Two of them didn’t have a profile picture and the other one only posted memes about bacon written in an unreadable language. I decided to add to the mess by adding images of George daily.
Overnight, the account blew up. Hundreds of followers, likes and comments. Who knew the internet was crazy about a rock. My pet rock George became an Instagram superstar overnight.
He was featured in New York Times, E!, and even was featured in a music video on MTV. This all happened within 24 hours.

Now I have around 400,000 followers in my account all because of my pet rock George.
I want this to be a lesson that you too can grow your social media accounts (not just Instagram) anywhere if you had a dull brown pet rock. Just don’t name it George. I copyrighted his name so no one on this earth can name their child and/or pet George. Sorry.
End.
