Every influencer who ever cracked six figures on Instagram started with the same boring homework: better light, better focus, better consistency.

Back in July 2016, TheThings Celebrity put out a video breaking down the actual mechanics behind Instagram fame, and it wasn’t about luck or algorithm magic. It was about the double-tap — what makes a thumb stop scrolling and hit that heart. The video, titled “10 Failproof Ways To Get FAMOUS On Instagram,” strips the whole game down to visual craft and discipline.

• The guide insists casual, uncurated snapshots won’t cut it — subjects need to be sharply in focus, well-lit, and shot from an intriguing angle.
• It calls out Instagram’s built-in filters, Valencia and Ludwig specifically, as no longer good enough, pushing creators toward dedicated third-party editing apps instead.
• Consistency is treated as non-negotiable: a daily posting rhythm within a defined niche — food, fitness, fashion, or décor — is what keeps followers coming back.

The Photo Has To Do The Work

Before anything else, the video argues, the image itself has to earn the follow. Bright colors, picturesque landscapes, polished interior decor — the guide frames these as the visual bait that stops a scroll. Focus and lighting aren’t optional extras; they’re the baseline every aspiring Instagram star needs before worrying about captions or hashtags.

That baseline sounds simple, but it’s the step most casual posters skip. A blurry, dim photo of a nice sunset loses to a sharp, well-angled one every time, no matter how good the actual view was. The video treats technical competence — focus, light, angle — as the entry fee, not the differentiator.

Editing Apps Over Native Filters

Once the shot is right, the video’s second pillar kicks in: post-processing. It specifically singles out Valencia and Ludwig — two of Instagram’s original built-in filters — as relics that no longer hold up against what dedicated editing apps can do. The suggestion is blunt: if you haven’t invested in a real photo-editing app, you’re behind.

Valencia and Ludwig just aren’t going to cut it.

That line captures the whole thesis of the video. Native presets were fine when Instagram launched, but by 2016 the bar for a “good” feed had moved well past what the app’s default tools could deliver. Third-party editing became the difference between an amateur grid and a curated one.

Consistency As A Content Strategy

The video’s third major point is about showing up. If a fitness account’s audience expects a new post every morning, skipping days breaks the habit loop that built the following in the first place. The guide frames this the way a lot of reality-TV personalities and reporters-turned-influencers have learned the hard way — audiences reward reliability and abandon accounts that go quiet, a pattern echoed in reporters who ruined their careers on social media when they misjudged what their followers actually wanted from them.

Niche matters here too. The video ties consistency directly to category — food, fitness, fashion, lifestyle inspiration — arguing that a scattershot feed with no clear theme confuses potential followers about why they should hit follow in the first place. A defined lane, posted daily, beats a broad one posted sporadically.

Hashtags And Engagement As The Final Layer

On top of the visual and scheduling groundwork, the video touches on relevant, popular hashtags as a real lever for growth, alongside engaging with other accounts in the same space. Neither replaces the photo quality or the posting rhythm — they’re framed as amplifiers that only work once the fundamentals are already in place.

That layering is the through-line of the whole piece: technique first, editing second, consistency third, tagging and engagement last. It’s the same instinct that’s driven plenty of stars — from musicians building a fanbase one release at a time to reality personalities navigating how the public perceives their online persona, the kind of dynamic explored in pieces like celebs who started out friends and ended up enemies — to treat their public image as something built in daily increments, not overnight.

None of it works as a shortcut, which is really the point of calling the list “failproof” rather than “instant.” The video isn’t selling a hack — it’s selling the same grind every account with a real following put in before the growth showed up on the follower count.
