Call Me Ace Makes His Author Debut & Shares Brand Development Strategies in Get Verified on Instagram with Under 5,000 Followers

Call Me Ace, a Billboard-charting hip hop artist and creative tech entrepreneur, releases his first book titled Get Verified on Instagram with Under 5,000 Followers. The self-published book includes 5 chapters that debunks Instagram verification myths about the 10,000 follower count minimum, maintaining a verified badge, and sourcing brand validation once verified. The book is exclusively available for purchase as an ebook (with limited paperback copies) along with Ace’s “Been Legit” merchandise collection at https://store.callmeace.com/ .

According to Ace, “In this book, I share 7 tried-and-true recommendations to increase your chances of getting IG verified. No frills. No smoke and mirrors. I also break down the entire verification process, things to watch out for, and other digital brand development strategies that are applicable even outside of Instagram.” The book also references Later, HypeAuditor, Influencer Marketing Hub, Social Blade and Chartmetic as tools Ace uses to manage his Instagram growth, automation, and insights.

The book contributes to the growing momentum and impact of Call Me Ace’s brand, which is most recently illustrated in his latest interview on CNBC, a feature commercial with Insider Studios for the Ford Mach-e and the release of his sophomore album Out of Office .

To describe his inspiration behind the book, Call Me Ace says “As a creative tech entrepreneur and music artist, I know social media–especially Instagram–is a powerful tool to market my brand. Over the past few years, I’ve often been asked about my brand marketing tactics so I decided to write a book about the practical tips that I actually used to not only get verified, but also build a brand that’s self-fulfilling and that authentically resonates with my target audience. I want small business owners, creatives and micro influencers to know they can do the same thing.”
