The Great Quest for the Elusive Blue Tick: A Guide for the Insta-Famous (and Delusional)
Ah, the blue tick. That little badge of honor, a beacon of internet fame (or so your grandma thinks). It's the Instagram equivalent of a knighting ceremony, except instead of a sword on your shoulder, you get bragging rights and a surge of your ego.
But my friend, the path to blue tick glory is fraught with peril. It's a jungle out there, filled with selfie-stick warriors and thirst trap veterans all vying for that coveted checkmark. Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood internet sage, am here to guide you through the murky waters of Instagram verification.
Step 1: Are You Worthy? (Spoiler Alert: Probably Not)
First things first, a reality check. Instagram verification isn't for everyone. It's not handed out like participation trophies (although participation in thirst traps might help your case...debatable).
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
Here's the real tea: Instagram wants to verify accounts that represent public figures, celebrities, or well-known brands. So, unless your cat has a thriving modeling career or you're the world's leading expert on competitive thumb-twiddling, you might be out of luck.
But hey, there's no harm in trying, right? Maybe they'll be impressed by your collection of sporks or your uncanny ability to fold a fitted sheet (adulting, amirite?).
Step 2: Operation "Become a Public Figure"
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
Okay, so you've decided to forge your own path to fame. Here are some, ahem, "creative" ways to get yourself noticed:
- Become a Social Media Ninja: Master every meme, trend, and dance challenge known to humankind. (Just don't break anything in the process...we wouldn't want another Tide Pod incident.)
- Befriend Actual Celebrities: Shameless self-promotion is key here. Tag them in every post, even if it's a picture of your breakfast. Hey, maybe they'll take pity on you and give you a shoutout. (Although, there's a higher chance of aliens contacting you first.)
- Fake It Till You Make It: This one's a slippery slope, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. Just remember, the internet never forgets. That awkward photo of you pretending to be backstage at Coachella might come back to haunt you.
Step 3: The Official Verification Request (Assuming You Haven't Been Discovered Yet)
Alright, so you've (hopefully) organically grown your fame, or maybe your shameless self-promotion paid off. Now it's time to officially request verification.
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.

highlight your accomplishments
, even if they involve winning a participation trophy back in elementary school. Every little bit helps, right?Step 4: The Waiting Game (and Maybe a Little Crying)
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
Now comes the agonizing wait. Instagram will take their sweet time scrutinizing your existence to determine if you're worthy. Fret not, this is a perfectly normal time to refresh your Instagram page every five seconds and call your mom for a pep talk.
Pro Tip: If you see your nemesis sporting a blue tick before you, don't send them a passive-aggressive DM. Just take a deep breath and channel your inner Beyonce.
Step 5: The Glorious (or Heartbreaking) News
The email arrives! Your heart races as you click it open. Did you make the cut? Are you about to join the ranks of the Instagram elite?
Brace yourself, it could go either way. You might be celebrating with a victory dance (or a victory nap, no judgment here). Or, you might be left with a bruised ego and a renewed determination to conquer the internet.
Remember, the blue tick isn't everything. It's about the journey, the memories, and the questionable life choices you make along the way. Besides, a strategically placed blue heart emoji can work wonders too.
