| How To Get Blue Tick On Instagram Illegally |
Method 1: The Photoshop Phantasy
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Step 1: Brush up on your Photoshop skills (or, you know, beg a friend who can make watermelons look like they're judging you). Step 2: Create a super convincing fake verification badge. We're talking embossing, drop shadows, the whole shebang. Step 3: Subtly (or not so subtly) sprinkle your masterpiece throughout your photos. Maybe have it peeking out from behind your ear, or casually resting on your designer coffee mug. Step 4: Wait for the inevitable comments. People will be confused, intrigued, maybe even a little scared. Lean into it! Play dumb, act like you have no idea what they're talking about. Pro Tip: This method works best if you have a very small following. A large audience might be less likely to fall for it.
Method 2: The Celebrity Stalker (But Not Really)
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.

Step 1: Pick a C-list celebrity (or a particularly enthusiastic local politician) with a blue tick. Step 2: Shower them with comments and messages (but like, not creepy stalker vibes, more like enthusiastic fan energy). Step 3: Slide into their DMs with a proposition. Offer to be their social media manager (for free, of course) in exchange for a good word with the Instagram verification gods. This will likely not work, but hey, if it does, you've just won the social media lottery.
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Method 3: The Name Game
Step 1: Change your display name to something remarkably similar to a verified account. Think Kylie Jennerrr or Mark Zuckerberg. Step 2: Post vague content that could be interpreted as belonging to the impersonated celeb. Maybe a picture of a luxury car with the caption "Big announcement coming soon!" Step 3: Sit back and watch the chaos unfold. People will be tagging the real celebrity, confused followers will comment. You'll be a social media enigma! WARNING: This method is highly likely to get you shut down by Instagram. But hey, at least you'll go out in a blaze of confusing glory.
Remember, friends, these methods are for laughs only. There's no shortcut to genuine Instagram fame. But hey, if you get a chuckle out of these ridiculous antics, then Operation Blue Hustle has been a success! Now go forth and create awesome content, the ethical way. The blue tick will hopefully follow (or maybe you'll just earn something even better: a loyal following who actually likes your stuff).
