How can Brands capitalise on the newly launched social media app by zuck bhaiya?

Instagram Threads for Marketing?

Okay, so this happened to me last year. I was approached by a college alumni (got my number from college alumni group) who told me he had a side business going on which was leading him to earn more money than his corporate job and that he was going to leave the corporate for his “business”.

I was initially not interested but he was insistent and also I was looking to explore some options (may be my naïveté) that I asked him more and so he setup a call with his senior to explain more about this “business”.

Now this senior gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how to reach financial independence and picking up on the general mindset of how to make more money. They asked to create a list of 10 things that I desired the most at the point of time which could be solved with more money. I complied thinking it was a good exercise (again, I was a big fool). Now I was connected with another senior who gave all sorts of gyaan regarding how I could make more money and lead to financial independence.

Please note, during all this time I was constantly asking what the business idea was and how it would be achieved but got no response on the details and only white washing regarding how I should be prepared to do anything to achieve my dreams.

Now, it was revealed that I would need to put in 5L as investment to get bigger returns. Since I did not have that money in handy, I was suggested to get a personal loan through their agents. Also not to inform this to parents because they won’t understand this stuff and get “worried”. Luckily I did went with their suggestion and informed my parent about it. Thinking it was a startup idea, I got the investment from my father through an OD in my name.

Now we get onto a call two days later, where they reveal the company QNet and makes me purchase 5L of stuff from their website and explained the business model which was to get other people from your knowing to buy products from this company and get commissions on the sale.

Continued……

Pyramid scheme scam

Bruh... what even?! It's a well known scam. I don't understand how you were ready to put in 5L of your money without going for a simple google search.  
  
 All these IIT/NIT/IIM/AIIMS means they cracked a certain exam. It has nothing to do with guaranteed moral values or even basic common sense. Lesson learnt the hard way I guess.

Supply Chain Manager

Today morning my ceo added me to company's insta group chat, wtf why?? That would be the last thing I wanted. We are a ~90 employees company and most of them follow me on insta now 😭., Should I follow them back?

Something i never wanted coz insta algo recommend my liked post/reels to my followers and this kills the freedom of me liking anything without thinking what if my manager see this meme which is on him 🤣.

Beyond slack

A few years back; Insta was run by Google influencers.
After some time then Microsoft & Amazon entered.
Then it was COVID > Layoffs season.

Now we see Instagram influencers from TCS, Accenture, WIPRO, HDFC Bank, SBI, Junior Constable from CRPF & so on…

Where we are heading? If everyone becomes an influencer then who will close the JIRA tickets? 😉🤷‍♂️

Which one is your weirdest corporate influencer?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I would like to know your thoughts.
If you were a Product Manager at Instagram, what improvements would you make?

Instagram

How are you folks feeling about this one?

New WhatsApp redesign. I actually like it. Clean, and not major changes.

Instagram as survey platform

Hot take : Threads is IG Content with Twitter UI

Waiting for web app, so I can have another website to slack during work.

Senior Product Manager

Hey everyone,
Hope it's going well. 

What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.  
 
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

Daily Watercooler (6th July)

- Instagram has introduced 'Teen Accounts' making all accounts of users aged 13-17 private by default.
- New settings limit who can contact teens and the type of content they can view.
- Teens aged 16-17 can opt out of these settings with parental supervision; those under 16 need parental permission.
- The changes will roll out in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada over the next 60 days, with a global rollout expected in January 2025.
- Instagram will also update parental controls, allowing parents to see who their teen has messaged and set time limits.

Instagram Forces Teen Accounts to Go Private Amid New Restrictions

Journalist

Have applied for a position at a startup for PM internship. Have no prior experience. Somehow if I get a call for interview, just want to make sure I don't make a fool of myself. If you could please help me outline what things to know before sitting for such an interview? Experienced PMs based on India, do you know da way? Show me da way :)

PM intern interview . What to prepare?

Software Developer

From the last two years, I am not using instagram. 
Sometime I use reddit or twitter but not that much. 

Most of the people around me use insta.
