★ How to post ★

Your post takes a few minutes.

Your pilot kit opens the moment you finish your chat with Milo, and it stays in Creator Studio after that. It has your link, your story images, and a button that copies the link and opens Instagram for you.

The how to post screen in the pilot kit, listing the five steps with Copy link and Open Instagram buttons

What counts

Five things, and your post is in.

  • One Instagram reel or story
  • Your own link, sent by ManyChat on a reel or on a Link sticker in a story
  • @startyourvillage tagged on it
  • Up for 24 hours
  • Within 7 days of finishing your chat with Milo

For the $50 gift card, the account you post from also has to be public, with 10,000 or more Instagram followers. The full rules.

In Instagram

Five steps for a story.

The same five your kit shows you, with the buttons to do them.

  1. 01

    Save a story image

    Pick one in your kit and tap Save image. It lands in your Photos. Each one carries your photo and handle, with a clear space at the bottom for the sticker.

  2. 02

    Open Instagram and start a story

    Swipe up in the story camera and pick the image you saved.

  3. 03

    Add a Link sticker

    Tap the sticker icon, choose Link, and paste your link. Put the sticker in the clear space at the bottom.

  4. 04

    Tag @startyourvillage

    Type it on the story or add a mention sticker, so we see it.

  5. 05

    Share it, and keep it up for 24 hours

    Then come back to your kit and upload a screenshot.

Last step

Then send us a screenshot.

A screenshot is how we confirm your post. For a reel, show the reel with its caption and tag. For a story, show the Link sticker. Upload it on the last screen of your kit. Your reminder emails stop as soon as it arrives, and someone on the team checks your post before your gift card goes out.

Or post a reel

A reel with ManyChat counts too.

A reel cannot hold a tappable link, so ManyChat sends it for you. Set up a ManyChat comment automation that DMs your link to anyone who comments a keyword. We suggest VILLAGE. Tell people in your caption to comment it, tag @startyourvillage, and keep the reel up for 24 hours. Then upload a screenshot in your kit. Your kit has a caption you can copy.

The better you know each other, the better all of it gets.

A few minutes to sign up and chat with Milo. One reel or story. No call before the link, and nothing to learn.
