@madamemethven – 1.8M followers: pledged to raise $1 million for LGBTQ people

Methven plans to raise the funds to help LGBTQ people affected by the crisis by creating jobs through an initiative she recently launched called the PLUR Association — an acronym for Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect.

She’ll use her fashion line to create employment opportunities through PLUR’s “Independent Contractor Sales Agent Program.” The popular Instagram star runs two high-end lingerie brands, Madame Methven and Lactrodectus, as well as a “festival lingerie line” called Special K.

The initiative will primarily assist the unemployed and disenfranchised members of the LGBTQI community, the domestic violence survivor community of both men and women, and the sober living community,” she said.

Besides providing employment assistance to those who need it, Methven also said that she plans to raise money “through sales of my new festival lingerie line, Special K, among other means to help as many people as possible.”

Methven said that “10% of all proceeds go to several different charities such as EDM Cares and other EDM/LGBTQI based charities that fight to protect and advance equality and social justice for these communities.

@edgarallanpoets - 24k followers: a place to hide from this crazy world

For our sound we find inspiration from Poe and Hitchcock and we like to call our music Noir Rock.Also visually we try to reflect Edgar Allan Poe and Hitchcock atmospheres and for this reason, our social profiles are not very colorful.

If Conrad Veidt is one of your favorites actors, if you are not scared when a black cat crosses the road in front of you, if you like Morticia's withered roses and you love Hitchcock's vertigo effect, our music and social profiles are the places for you.

Our Instagram is a romantic, dark, crepuscular place where to comfortably hide from this crazy colorful world.

@spellsandcurses - 8800 followers: offering entertainment and positive motivation

My Instagram profile is great because it tells my story while offering them entertainment and positive motivation through music and daily affirmations. This leads my followers to listen to my music and connect with me on an even deeper level.

TheRave is a recording artist who releases music with his band Spells and Curses. Together they prove that despite our past trauma, surviving and making a better life is the ultimate revenge. Thus they create music that acts as a “spell” to enhance the moment or a “curse” to damn it.

My Instagram profile aims at driving dog adoptions across India. Our posts try to motivate people to adopt pets instead of buying them from breeders and puppy mills. Many times people don’t know about the local level adoptions – who to contact and where and end up buying breeds.

We help connect people with a common interest for pets and the accompanying community has helped us drive adoptions as well as a lead source for prospective adoptive families. We also help our followers with common pet care tips and help them guide on their adoption-related queries. We have driven over 500 adoptions of homeless and abandoned dogs.

@natezface - 4500 followers: I like to misdirect my followers ideas

POV: You're scrolling through Instagram at 2:00am. You stop at a profile titled @natezface. You wonder, who is Nate and why should I care about his face? Why is his profile registered as a shopping mall?

Let me answer that question by ignoring it entirely. In my art page I like to incorporate my personality. If you don't have some fun with your posts you're essentially a business page operating with way less money. I like to misdirect my followers ideas of what they think my next post will be, interact with them, and try to offer some humor in my responses. To me, a genuine sense of interest creates a better back and forth with your target audience. I hope that my page @natezface will cause someone to stop scrolling and become very intrigued or extremely confused.

Honestly either one is a win in my book, and I'm illiterate.

@pietracommunications - 500 followers: a place to go and find something new

Our communications agency is dedicated to empowering and growing businesses, and their visibility, in the gem and jewelry trade. That said, as I looked around and saw what others were doing with their Instagram profiles, I was aesthetically underwhelmed. I wanted to see unique designers having a voice, within a beautiful layout, celebrating their pieces. Therefore, we scrapped our old account and sought to create something that profiled small businesses. Our profile is a place to go and find something new, and each designer has an accompanying interview on our blog, so viewers can get to know them better, in their own words. Everything shown is an editorial--we profile businesses we love just because. We want the world to enjoy their beauty and voice, as we do, and encourage people to nominate their favorite designers to be profiled as well.

@codybensonphoto - 400 followers: followers help guide my work

I truly try to bring content to my current an future followers by engaging with them directly and letting them have the option to help guide my work inevitably helping my portfolio grow by using my audience as a means to try new things I hadn't thought of.

My story in starting photography began 5 years ago trying to scrape together some extra money to help pay for my college expenses, but the more I began working with a camera the more I really began to love capturing the moments in a person’s life. I slowly built myself a brand within my community, and have slowly reached further into new avenues of photography such as real estate and travel photography teaching myself the ropes as I’ve gone along.

@nijelusa - 300 followers: read my posts and know they are not alone

An honest and hardworking profile that represents me as a person is what you will find on my instagram. Currently seeking the ways to grow and build an instagram profile to represent me as a musical artist as well as my devotion to faith, I am constantly meditating on the content I am putting out, to uplift all people yet still know I will face adversity. My profile hosts a combination of posts: those which represent my artistry, posts to enlighten the public of often misinterpreted biblical knowledge, as well as just those posts to share my story and the struggles I currently face. Others can see my profile, read my posts, and know that they are not alone; know that there is someone out there who does care about the people of the world and is not afraid to make the sacrifice to speak the truth all for the well being of others..
