The Desperate Guide to Snagging that Elusive Blue Tick Emoji: Because You're Basically Famous (Right?)
Let's face it, the blue tick emoji is the Instagram crown jewel, the Twitter verified badge's cooler, younger cousin. It practically screams, "I'm important! Look at me! I'm followed by... well, at least a few bots." But fear not, fellow social media warrior! This guide will be your roadmap to blue tick glory (or at least the illusion of it).
Step 1: Cultivate an Aura of Mystery (Because Secrets are Sexy)
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
- Post cryptic messages: Nobody appreciates a bragger. Instead, drop hints about your upcoming "big project" or "life-changing announcement." Just remember, the details are classified... for now.
- Go grayscale: Who needs color when you have an air of intrigue? Switch your profile pic to black and white. Bonus points if it's a blurry photo of you looking pensive at a coffee shop.
Step 2: Befriend Influencers (Even the Inflated Ones)
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
- Shower them with compliments: Slide into their DMs with fire emojis and tell them their content is "life-changing." They might just follow you back, instantly boosting your cred (or at least making it look like you have important friends).
- Stage a Hilarious "Accidental" Mention: Casually drop their name in a caption like, "OMG! Just bumped into @[SuperInfluencer] at the grocery store! So down-to-earth!" Even if it's a lie, they might just notice you and think, "Who is this random person clinging to me like a social media barnacle?"
Step 3: Master the Art of the Humblebrag (It's a Delicate Art Form)
Tip: Reading on mobile? Zoom in for better comfort.

- Casually mention getting interviewed by your local radio station: "Ugh, so swamped with interview requests! Don't know how I'll manage being a celebrity AND make dinner tonight!"
- Post a picture of your overflowing inbox: "The struggle is real! Can't keep up with all these business inquiries!" Just make sure you cleverly crop out the actual content of the emails (spoiler alert: it's probably from your grandma asking about your love life).
Step 4: The Art of the Self-Proclaimed Badge (Because Fake It Till You Make It, Right?)
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
- Get creative with emojis: Who says the blue tick has to be official? Strategically place a blue checkmark emoji next to your username. It's practically the same thing, right?
- Befriend a graphic designer: Commission a custom blue tick badge that says "Important Person" or "Basically Famous." Hey, if you can dream it, you can Photoshop it!
Disclaimer: This guide is purely for entertainment purposes. There's no guaranteed path to a blue tick emoji, but hopefully, it'll give you a good laugh (and maybe a few extra followers). Remember, the most important thing is to be yourself (even if your "self" is a tad bit delusional). Now go forth and conquer the social media world... or at least your local town's "Overly Enthusiastic Cat Owners" group.
